Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 556

No one else dared say a word, so everyone just started talking Walter down.

"Carter, don't be mad—it's normal for kids to act out a little when they're young."

"Yeah, honestly, Jackson's only rebellious when it comes to marriage. In every other way, he's doing amazing. My own son can't hold a candle to him."

"And look at that acquisition last month-Jackson's speech was killer. The Dawson family is in good hands with him. Like he said, there's plenty of time. If he finds the right woman, he'll spoil her endlessly. Just wait."

With all the reassuring voices around him, Walter's face finally softened. He rubbed his brow, looking tired.

"He's still holding a grudge over the marriage I forced on him back then. But the girl he liked-she just wasn't the one."

Back then, Jackson had a girlfriend-a C-list actress with no family background. There was no way the Dawsons could ever accept her.

So Walter broke them up and arranged a new bride for him.

Jackson was furious-he fled overseas for three years. Even now that he's back, he barely acknowledges his wife.

After leaving the old Dawson house, Jackson climbed into his car, lit a cigarette, and called Dylan.
