Chapter 507 - MY BEST FRIEND: PART V (1/2)

When Elizabeth arrived, she and Jackson was surprised to see quite a few men in black waiting outside the house.

”Is something going on?”

Jackson sighs as he realizes the reason why the men in black are on their front doorstep.

Elizabeth continues to observe the situation, she notices a group of men escorting someone out. ”I presume your friend got caught.”

”I guess so.”

*Before Elizabeth and Jackson arrived*

James received information that Cris was invited to his sister's party. When he saw the man standing close to his sister like some guard, he quickly went over to greet the man.

”B*stard, you only show up when something special is going on.”

”Ouch, do you and your brother have to call me like that.”

”Brother, don't be like that to Brother Cris.”

”Brother Cris?”

”He is now my official brother as well, for he takes better care of me and advises me well than you and brother.”

”I guess something happened then.” James frowned as he pinched the skin between his brow. To think another problem arose after the other when it hasn't been resolved yet.

”Don't worry, Brother Cris told me how to resolve the situation.”

”Hmm, you sure have changed. Very well, if you don't mind, can I borrow Cris from you for a moment.”

”Sure.” Jackie responded as she went back to the front to welcome the guest who have arrived.

James brought Cris to his private study as he offers him a bottle of whiskey for them to drink.

”Isn't it too early to be drinking.”

”I have my reasons.” James said as he poured a shot for him and the man.

”Guess, I'll join you.”

”Cheers.”

After they took their one shot, James started the conversation.

”What happened, where have you been?”

”Your brother asked the same, so just asked him.” Cris answered as he didn't really wish to explain himself again.

”Fine, but, tell me, how are you?”

”Just ask Jackson, you both have asked the same question.”

”Fine, just tell me, anything…”

Cris knew from the man's expression how concerned he was for him. ”Don't worry, I'm fine.”

”You say that, but you lost a lot of weight.”

”Well, I've been sick, but don't worry too much.”

”Fine, I won't ask. But, thank you, for taking care of my sister.”

”Hmm, seems you have your hands full with all these snakes running loose in your house.”

James chuckled as he didn't have any words to describe how he felt at the moment. He's been so stressed with his father's ridiculous decision, which has greatly affected his sister. Plus, with his mother, who despises the idea of their father remarrying the women, since the women want nothing but their status in life.

”Just a word of advice thought, you better keep a close eye on those snakes. They're up to no good which can affect your sister's marriage.”

”What do you mean? Did you hear them plan do something?”

”Well, it's not really a plan since that elder snake is quite vicious that she planned ahead. What's worse, it's that Steven's mom caught them.”

”F*ck, I shouldn't have invited them.”

Cris went over to the man and patted him on the shoulder, ”Man, you can't predict everything. I mean, the best you can do is prevent it from happening again. But, no worries, your sister are tough and she'll be able to handle it. I did tell her if she needs help to look for me.”

”Hmm, seem like you and my sister is getting quite along with each other.”

”Well, she and Jackson are planning to set me up with her best friend.”

”What, they did?” James' face looked devastated as ever. He didn't expect so many things to have happened behind his back that he's unaware of. What's worse, his stupid brother dare involved the man's daughter. ”Cris, don't get me wrong. But, it's best to not meet her. I mean, aren't you already in love with someone.”

”Wow, this is a first.”

”Cris, please, anyone but her…” James begged as he fears, their life will not only be on the line once but twice now.

”Now you put it that way, I'm now even more eager to meet this girl.”

”Cris, please…”

But before they could continue conversing with each other, someone knocked on the door.

”Come in.” James said as he calmed himself down.

”Master, there's someone who wishes to meet you.”

”Who is it.”

The man walked in dressed in black. He had a few man's following him from behind. Seeing the familiar man, James already knew who he was and why he was here.

”Ah, Uncle Ben, why are you here?”

”Young Master James, it's good to see you too. If you don't mind, would it be alright if I speak with my Young Master?”
