Chapter 19 In the End However, staring into the hopeful eyes of his wife, Franklin chuckled indifferently, “Fair enough, or it makes us look like an ungrateful bunch.” He took another look of his wife’s expression and said softly, “Besides, Jacob is in town, if he doesn’t show up, would it make us look rude as well?” Suzie furrowed her brows as she looked down at the bank card in her hands. Moments later, she uttered hesitantly, “Forget it, I’ll leave the past behind, as long as your son wants to return, but I must make it clear that…” She patted on her belly with a stern look, “This money belongs to our child, nobody else will touch a single penny!” “Of course not! All of these belongs to our son!” Franklin secretly laughed to himself. The baby brain is real after all! What’s six million to me? I have fourteen million waiting out there! When the time is right, I’ll just come up with an excuse and make sure the money gets to Jacob unnoticed, then, he and Janelle will be set for life… “To hell with it! Nobody said it’s a son!” Suzie glared at Franklin, “I prefer a girl!” “Of course, girls are great!

as the security guards of the school, gesturing them to leave the pair, then responded with a smile, “Nothing, I’m just paying you a visit since I passed by, as for my hair…” The smile instantly disappeared from his face as he spread his hands, “I dyed it, it won’t come off.” “Why did you dye your hair gray all of a sudden?” Janelle found it difficult to understand. “It’s just for work, not like it cannot be dyed again.” Jacob took two steps forward as he spoke, then reached out a hand to rub on his little sister’s long, silky hair. “Hey!” Janelle pouted her lips and slapped his hand away softly, “You’re messing up my hair!” Jacob laughed as he combed her hair with his fingers before retracting his hand. Before Janelle started lashing out

coffee table, “You got what I told you to look into?” He asked with a frown. Jerry straightened his back with a serious expression, “Boss, I’m glad to report that your request has been completed!” Finishing what he had to say, Jerry lifted the first file, “This is the details of everyone who made your father’s life more difficult when you left six years ago.” Jacob grabbed the file and scanned through each page briefly. A few minutes later, he closed the file with a sinister smile. There were details of more than ten people compiled into the file, including their identity, background, and detailed records of how they poached the clients of the Lynch Family, swindled the assets of the Lynchs, and the way they rubbed salt into Franklin’s wound over the years. More ironic was the fact that there were a few who used to be close acquaintances before Jacob stabbed Jaylen with a dagger. Jacob tossed the file back onto the coffee table and took on a cold expression, “Bring this file to Willow, tell her that she has seven days to do whatever she wants to make every single person on the file go broke, and their reputations must be crushed!” Squinting his eyes with a vicious air, he continued, “This third person shall lose his arms, the seventh one, his tongue, and I want that last one to be locked in a cell until the last of his days.” Among the list of over ten individuals, these three were the most despicable. At this point, Jerry could see murderous intents in Jacob’s eyes. The third person was responsible for setting up Franklin and taking away the mall from him – one that Franklin had worked decades for. On the other hand, the seventh person on the list was a close friend of many years. When the incident took place, he backstabbed Franklin by spreading false rumors, so that nobody was willing to lend Franklin a hand. As for the last one, he conspired with a few other businessmen on the list and set up a trap for Franklin, leading to over twenty million in losses overnight. That incident brought Franklin to the brink of suicide! The car was filled with cold, dense air. Jerry nodded and said, “Boss, don’t worry, I’ll make sure these guys get what they deserve!” Afterwards, he handed the second file to Jacob with both hands, “Boss, this file outlines the second and third tasks you’d given me. All the findings are in there.” Jacob had Jerry look into the Mondez family of the Paramount and the death of his girlfriend, Naeve, and Jerry found out about Alvina.
