Chapter 554 - A victim of pretenses (1/2)
”You came just in time. Come on, dinner is ready. Your dad is already on the table.” Madam kelly meets them at the doorstep. She and Chairman John were about to have dinner when she heard Jacob's SUV arrived.
”Get another set of plates for them.” She instructed a maid that she saw in the kitchen.
”Were you in Twelve Army Headquarters?” Chairman John asked as soon as he saw J and Jacob sit on his left.
”Yes, Dad,” Jacob replied.
”I heard the Senator came.” Chairman John said nonchalantly.
J looked at him surprised at how fast the news traveled. She wondered how did her father-in-law found out. Was it reported on the TV or was it published on the internet? She hoped not.
”Yes, she did. She wanted to hire some protection. How did you find out?” Jacob asked which made J thankful because she is curious.
”David reported it to me.” Chairman John said. J sighed in relief. David is James's father and is still the assistant of Chairman John Parker. At least it was from him.
”Which Senator are you talking about?” Madam Kelly heard their conversation when she entered the dining room. She is followed by a maid carrying two sets of a plate for J and Jacob.
”Thank you,” J said to the maid when she put a plate in front of her.
”We are talking about Senator Rizza, Mom.” Jacob knew that he cannot hide anything from Madam Kelly even if he wanted to.
”Oh, did she personally come to you? Normally these high-ranking officials would ask someone from the Twelve Army to come meet them in their office. They think too highly of themselves and act pretentious. They believe that they were such an important person and their time was gold and cannot be wasted.”
”I am not surprised that Senator Rizza bothers herself to drive to Twelve Army and personally asked for protection. She is such a humble person. But, I heard that she never takes a bodyguard with her, why did she suddenly ask for protection? Is she receiving any threats?”
”She is such a very good Senator, no wonder she would harbor a lot of enemies.” Madam Kelly is obviously a fan of the Senator and this made J looked at her mother-in-law with such pity. If she only knew what kind of woman that Senator is, she would eat all her praises towards the Senator.
