732 Chapter 731

Jake looked at the message on his phone and understood immediately.

Lewis had been keeping tabs on them for a while, just waiting for his grandmother to pass before dealing with each of them one by one.

A chill ran down Jake's spine for a moment, but he felt a sense of relief wash over him. He was thankful he'd finally wised up in the past few months and stopped going against his uncle.

Jake quickly replied, "Thank you, Uncle," and pulled up the location Lewis had sent him.

He then drove with Oliver to the given address.

...

Oliver was in denial until the very end. Following Lewis's directions, they arrived at the address and saw the car parked out front.

The second they stopped, Oliver bolted out of the car and rushed to the door, bursting inside without hesitation.

Through a large window, Jake stood watching as Oliver stormed in, seeing the shocked and panicked expressions on Marisa and the driver's faces and how Selena took a frightened step back.

He saw Oliver grab Marisa by the arm, violently yanking her toward the door in a fit of rage.

He was screaming, red-faced, and desperate, but somehow, he didn't seem threatening anymore.

The man who had once terrified Jake as a child, the father who seemed so untouchable, was gone. The man inside that house now was small and pitiful.

Jake found himself laughing softly. He couldn't understand what he had been so afraid of all those years.

With a quiet chuckle, Jake turned away and walked off.

He didn't look back.

That man wasn't worth looking back for.
