Chapter 670 - A Real Promise (1/2)
”Stop acting like a rapacious landlord coveting for anything that belonged to the others. The heiress is not yours, to begin with, so why should I return her to you? She is in a place where she belongs and would want to belong.” Elder Parker retorted back as if what Jack Ogden said was hilarious.
Jack Ogden snickered. ”You talk like you are not greedy as well. Aren't you? When Alexander offered you an arranged marriage with his granddaughter, you immediately seize hold of the opportunity. You know how golden it is. The opportunity to take over the Robin Hood Society in the future if your grandson got married to the heiress. I know that's what you've been thinking back then that's why you accepted that offer even thou you know about Alexander's promise to me.”
Jacob remained expressionless thou he is wondering as well, is that the reason why his grandfather accepted the offer?
”You know that I already found out about the heiress, I will seek for Alexander to fulfill his promise to me that he will marry his granddaughter to my grandson. But the two of you went behind my back and married them off even without their knowledge.” Jack Ogden continued on accusing Elder Parker.
”If Jenny was promised to you, then why didn't you talk about it to Elder Do earlier?” Jacob asked.
”Because Alexander hides her existence. He kept her hidden, no one knows about the heiress. He was deliberately hiding her from me. When Martin and Victoria died on that ambush, he got more reason to hide her from everyone, he even sent her abroad. Alexander was already dead when I found out about her existence. And the Elites also started to found out about her and started to hunt her down. But it was Alex who found her but by that time, she was already married to you.”
It was obvious that Jack Ogden wasn't aware that Martin and Victoria Do were still alive.
”Old Jack,” Elder Parker leaned in a more comfortable position on the sofa to make Jack Ogden more pissed at him. ”I am not as greedy as you. I already have the hospitals and the Twelve Army, a reputation, and a name that would make everyone feel repressed. Everyone would want to be married to my family. Even the President. Why would I want my family to be dragged down by the messy life that Alexander put on his granddaughter?”
”Grandfather!” Jacob hissed at him. But Elder Parker waved his hand at him indicating that he is not done yet.
”He founded the Robin Hood Society even thou he knows that it will only harbor animosity and risk of death to him and his family. His son and daughter in law died, then he died later on. Putting her granddaughter's life at risk. Although he had kept the heiress's existence a secret, he knew that one day or another, her existence will be exposed.”
Elder Parker smirk then he continued. ”Who in their right mind would want to be married to her?”
