Chapter 585 - A Chamber is Prepared (1/2)

Before the night fell, J and Jacob arrived at the Parkers Mansion. Although Arthur has been with them he has kept his watch on everything that is going on around them including Novus Rex's activity particularly that of Alex Ogden's.

As soon as J stepped out of her sports car, Arthur approached her. ”Miss, Alex Ogden sent something for you yesterday.”

J looked at him with curiosity then to Jacob who has heard what Arthur said.

”Where is it?” She asked.

”I've kept it for the meantime.” He said looking at J then he looked at Jacob. ”I already checked it, it is nothing suspicious or threatening. It's just a normal... gift.”

A smirk appeared on Jacob's lips. ”He's not wasting a chance.” He mumbled to himself.

”And earlier...” Arthur continued. It seems like he was not done reporting yet. ”Senator Rizza met with Alex Ogden.”

This time, Jacob's expression turned dark and J noticed it. She could tell what he is thinking, in fact, she is thinking the same.

”Thank you, Arthur,” J said.

”Stay with her,” Jacob said then pulled out his phone. ”James, call Jeric. I'll meet him now.” He didn't wait for James's reply before he hangs up.

He grabs J's hand and pulled her inside the mansion.

”You'll meet him tonight?” She asked while watching Jacob walked in the closet.

”Yes.” He replied. He was already inside the closet but J could still hear him. ”And don't insist on coming because I will not allow you.” He added as soon as he walked out of the closet. He already changed into a casual white shirt dress.
