Chapter 279 The Fish Got Hooked (Part Two)

How about Stephen? Was he reliable? Could she trust him? Since he said that only John could be trusted, did that mean that he was actually untrustworthy? Did he conceal something from her? Or did he knew everything all along but he didn't dare to speak it out to her?

Cherry knew better than anyone in her heart that Jackson was the answer of the whole riddle. Everything happened because of Jackson, and everyone was scared by him. They all listened to him and did anything that Jackson ordered or required. No one dared to say no to him, and no one dared to speak their thoughts out. But why could Jackson frighten so many people all at once? Wasn't there anyone who could talk to him like his equal?

Cherry then heard the door open, and after she turned around, she saw Jackson come in.

"Have you finished helping Joe with homework?" asked Jackson, while walking closer to Cherry.

"Yes. Has Grandpa gone to bed yet?" asked Cherry.

"Yes." Jackson then stood in front of Cherry, and as he held her in his arms, he said in a tender voice,"Are you tired? How about we go to bed and rest now?"

"I'll take a bath first and then go to sleep," answered Cherry.

"Okay, then I'll go to read a book in the study. Go to bed if you're sleepy," said Jackson.

After he saw Cherry walk into the bathroom, Jackson went to his study.

Actually, Jackson didn't read a book in the study, and instead talked with Derek over the phone.

Derek's voice sounded clear in Jackson's ears though the speaker. "Jackson, your nephew's party is set at 8 p.m. the day after tomorrow," he said.

Jackson thought that John, as the Governor of the city, must have made some arrangements for the party. He knew that all of the elites from the business, political, and military circles would participate, especially the ones from the business cir

Will our Mighty Soldier King be defeated? Or will he sweep away all obstacles?

Cherry and Jackson looked at each other for a moment and Cherry eventually agreed. She said to Joe,"Okay, I'll drive you to school today. Go and get your schoolbag."

"Yeah!" happily screamed Joe while he quickly went to fetch his schoolbag.

Jackson then looked at Cherry, and said,"You drive our son to school, and I'll go to the barracks."

"Okay, go ahead and do your business," said Cherry, nodding to him.

While Cherry was driving the car, she found that there was something odd about Joe.

She asked him,"Joe, why did you suddenly ask me to drive you to school?" She thought that Joe must have had something to tell her.

Joe looked ahead and seemed to be thinking of something. He then suddenly turned his head to Cherry, and said,"Mommy, did you tell Daddy about what I told you last night?"

After she heard this, Cherry was a little surprised. She didn't know why her son would ask her such a question, so she answered him,"No. Why are you asking me that?"

After he found out that his Mommy hadn't told his Daddy, Joe felt relieved, and cheerfully said,"That's good!"

Cherry was a little confused by his words, and asked,"What's up? Don't you want your Daddy to know this?"
