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!

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 at him, he said calmly, “When you went home yesterday, did you realize anything strange about dad?”

his bank account!” “Great, as long as he is happy.” Jacob smiled lightly and nodded his head. What a surprise, a thug like Leonard actually has the brains. He knows to take another route and pass by dad, glad I kept him alive. Janelle bit her lips and said softly, “Jacob, when are you moving home?” Jacob took a glance at the clock on the wall and reached out his right hand, “I’ll go home when it’s time to go home, but for now, it’s time to go back to class.” “I hate you! Stop messing with my hair!” Janelle swatted his hand away, leaving a pleasant scent in the air, then turned to look at the clock, “Oh dang, one minute to go! See you, Jacob!” Standing by the guard’s office, Jacob stared at Janelle as she scuttered away into the school compound like a wild baby deer. He came back to his senses and turned to the rangers standing next to him with straight backs. “I shall leave my sister’s safety in your hands.” He said with a stern look. A dash of light flashed across the rangers’ eyes as they held a clenched fist over their chests, “We will die before letting anyone hurt her, sir!” Jacob stepped out of the office and walked away casually as the rangers watched him attentively. He followed the path and came to a junction when a limousine sped towards him from behind. The window was wound down to reveal Jerry’s face, “Boss!” Jacob kept his poise.

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.
