Jean's throat continued to slide, and his eyes turned bloodshot.
There were many words he wanted to say, but they all caught in his throat and could not say more.
"Get up, get up quickly!" James leaned against Jack's arm, whispering stupidly.
Perhaps no one expected Jack to appear like this.
Even Lilia, who was staring silently at the side, couldn't help but wet her eyes.
It turns out that Jack is the second brother of the Widjaya family.
No wonder he was so persistent in raising butterflies for Jean. No wonder when Jack saw her for the first time, the other party was shocked to learn that she was Jean's wife and dropped the broom.
After all these years, why didn't he come back?!
What happened to him to have so many scars on his body?!
He survived the plane crash. But fifteen years away from his family... What kind of suffering has he endured alone?!
Lilia watched steadily as Jack was picked up by her brother-in-law, his broken body making it very difficult for him to even stand up.
His poor legs were still shaking.
Lilia couldn't stand it, and when she didn't open her eyes, she walked to Jean's side anxiously.
He was still crouched on the ground, his head lowered, covering all his expression.
But Lilia could easily feel the fluctuations in her husband's emotions.
She stretched out her arms and gently patted him. As she transferred a bit of strength, she said softly in his ear. "Jean, your two brothers are still waiting for you!"
Jean's eyes flickered slightly as he stood up. He felt Lilia's gentle touch.
Such a move seemed to convince him.
By this time, James had pulled Jack into his chair.
In this private room, everyone's eyes were focused on them, and even Chris and others outside the door also entered.
They all heard Jack's self-introduction.
This scary man in front of him turned out to be the second child of the Widjaya family!
And they weren't the only ones surprised, Alfred too, seemed to have his gaze suspended.
He stepped forward, concentrated on Jack, and asked in a very low voice, "Are you really Jack?"
Jack nodded slowly. "So you remember me!"
Alfred's mouth opened slightly, and he stopped talking.
How could he not remember him!
They met so many times back then!
Jack sighed and rolled his Adam's apple in pain. He was about to speak, but Alfred suddenly asked, "Jack, you forced my dad to get on that flight, didn't you!"
His words were over and the whole room became quiet.
Alfred's question brought everyone's eyes to Jack's body.
Even Florence couldn't help but stand up, waiting for him to answer with a gloomy expression.
Jack sat on the square sofa, suspending the Ricardo family's fury.
He did not hesitate as he nodded gently and spoke slowly, "Yes, it's me..."
Jack admitted honestly, and Alfred closed his eyes and sneered, covering the shadows under his eyes. "So I was right all along, my father's death was caused by the Widjaya family. What else do you want to say?"
James frowned and looked at Jack who was sitting beside him. He was very nervous. "Jack, what happened then?
Apart from the text messages that Alfred mentioned earlier, no one knows the truth about what happened fifteen years ago.
Even James rarely participated in his family's business at the time.
At this time, Jack opened one eye and began to look at everyone around him seriously.
Finally, his gaze fell on Alfred's body.
He raised his hand and said, "The Widjaya family... are innocent! Everything was purely an accident."
Despite the answer, it couldn't soothe Alfred's hatred.
He sneered, gritting his teeth. "You sent a message urging my father, but he died in the accident in the end. You still dare to say your family is innocent?"
"Alfred, you don't need to worry, let him speak slowly!" Florence reminded him, and then looked at Jack, and said, "Our Ricardo family aren't unreasonable. If you can tell us what happened at that time, then we believe you are Jack Widjaya. Otherwise, your words just now will be meaningless. Even if you know some details of Mr. James' past, it could be all guesswork!"
She couldn't believe that this person in front of her was Jack.
She even suspected that this was a scene deliberately arranged by the Widjaya family.
Jack heard Florence's sarcasm, and he shook his head stiffly. "Your anger is still the same as before. Even if you see the truth with your own eyes, you still insist on your own opinion in the end!"
Florence's eyebrows darkened slightly. She lifted the cover cup from the table and swept the tea. "Because I know I'm stubborn, and I want to hear it today. Now tell me everything to convince me to trust you!"
Jack nodded slightly and spread his palms. On the armrest of the sofa, he lowered his head and opened his mouth stupidly, "I really don't care if Mrs. Florence doubts my identity. But when I heard the news about my brother being constantly assaulted by your grandson, I knew that I couldn't stand still...."
"Of course, I'll tell you what happened 15 years ago. ago. It's true that at that time we had a plane crash and I managed to survive. But if you blame my family for the accident, then I will be adamant against it. I also understand the deep hatred that Alfred has. He will indeed be the successor of the Ricardo family, but I couldn't accept it when your grandson started attacking my brother and his wife for no apparent reason. Therefore, I decided to explain this chain of deep hatred right here right now."
Jack was panting as he spoke at length. To say these words, he had exhausted all his strength.
The throat that Vincent had just healed also continued to burn with pain.
But he endured it in silence. After a few seconds, he continued to say, "As for what I'm going to say next, whether you believe it or not, I just hope that if you guys still have any complaints, just come to me!"
"Back then, I did send a text message to Uncle Darrell, but you didn't. You know why it happened. You think the Widjaya family urged him to get on the plane, right?"
After that, Jack looked at Alfred, and when he saw his stupid expression, he shook his head and laughed. "Indeed, I arranged the flight. But the reason is that Uncle Darrell begged to meet my family who was about to go abroad for an inspection."
"Alfred, do you know how many business secrets of the Widjaya family he stole over the years when your father and the Widjaya family were still working together? You must not know either..."
"Jack, you've gone too far!" Florence couldn't hide her anger anymore and slapped the table.
Jack raised his palm and said without any deep meaning. "Madam, since you want the truth, why don't you listen to me to the end? Are you afraid?"
Not waiting for his grandmother to answer, Alfred said in a sharp and warning tone, "What you call the truth is falsely accusing my dead father, huh?"
