Chapter 529 - A Parker (1/2)

Chairman John looked at everyone then to Mark Sloane. Mark Sloane was there when he talked with President Martin which he thought was good because he is also a member of the family. He gestured him to tell the rest of what is happening.

”Jack Ogden wants Jacob to leave Miss J, in return, he will spare the family.” Mark Sloane said without hesitation.

Everyone fell into silence.

But J and Jacob were already on their way to the dining room and heard what Mark Sloane said. J heard it. And she felt guilty.

Everyone sensed their presence and looked at them. To her particularly. It was awkward.

”Sweetheart...” It was Madam Victoria who breaks the silence and awkwardness. She stood up and walk towards her. She reached out for her hand and pulled her into an embrace.

”I'm sorry.” That's what she thought she should say for dragging their family into this mess.

”What?! What are you sorry for? You are a family, of course, we will not leave you. Jacob will not leave you. Right?” Madam Kelly said then he glanced at Jacob behind her. She already speaks out on behalf of the family.

Everyone already knew about Novus Rex and their threats. They knew about Alex Ogden claiming that he is the supposed husband of J and Jack Ogden's plan of taking over the Robin Hood Society once J and Alex got married. But they were not at all affected by it since they were certain about the legality of J and Jacob's marriage. However, they didn't expect that Jack Ogden will be too brazen to threaten their family.

Jacob just nodded his head and wrapped his arms around J.

”Oh my God! That Jack Ogden is mental. Is he taking us a fool? You are obviously a Parker, leaving you means hurting a Parker. He is not really giving us an option! What a jerk!” Lily roared.

”Lily, watch your mouth!” Thou she agreed to what Lily said, Madam Kelly still takes notes of her words because of the presence of Paul and Paula. But if they weren't there, she would be glad to join Lily in cursing Jack Ogden.
