Chapter 557: Chapter 552 Let Him Go_1

“What is it?”

Ever since waking up, Mr. Jenkins’s condition has been deteriorating. He knows that his days are numbered, but precisely because of this, he wishes more than ever that the Jenkins family continue to shine.

He doesn’t wish to face the Jenkins family elders in shame even in death.

“Jerry, you’re now the only heir to the Jenkins family. Do take care,” Mr. Jenkins clasps his eldest grandson’s hand, his wrist trembling continuously.

Tears well up in Mr. Jenkins’s eyes, “You are our only hope. Grandfather will forgive you for whatever you do.”

His words exactly match Jerry’s expectations.

Zachary Jenkins has gone for good, but Jerry is still a descendant of the Jenkins family.

“Grandfather, don’t worry, I will always remain a part of the Jenkins family,” Zachary Jenkins braced himself.

“The fire at Gallagher Villa, I started it.”

When Jerry revealed this, Mr. Jenkins’s body shivered, his eyes fixed firmly on him, “What did you say?”

The fire at Gallagher Villa had created a sensation throughout Orientopia.

Xavier Gallagher’s self-sacrifice to save his younger brother deeply moved the entire nation.

If it weren’t for Xavier sacrificing himself, Molly Walker might have died a long time ago.

“You…that fire…you started it?” Mr. Jenkins’s face was white with shock, “Jerry, were you trying to kill your younger brother then?”

“No,” Jerry hurriedly interrupted him, “All along, the one I wanted to kill was Xavier.”

“Dad was already thinking of letting the younger brother return then. If he returned, everything from the Jenkins family would have been irrelevant to me.”

Only if Xavier died would Molly, being the sole successor of the Gallagher family, never return to the Jenkins family again.

Only if Xavier died, could Molly stay in that place forever.

Thinking about his father’s bias, Jerry’s face darkened.

Though they were both his sons, Edward Jenkins seemed to have no intention of grooming him as his successor, but instead always kept a close eye on his other son.

Until one day, Jerry overheard Edward discussing on the phone about letting Molly return and take over the family business.

Molly was notoriously rebellious then, but he showed incredible managerial talent.

Despite often skipping school to hang out, Molly always managed to ace his exams, and somehow always came out on top in various competitions.

Jerry knew then that his brother was truly talented.

Molly, by intentionally appearing ill-disciplined and degenerate, merely wanted to obtain Xavier’s approval and let him have everything.

Meanwhile, Jerry, the biological brother, looked on with a mix of jealousy and envy.

In the end, Jerry made a move against Xavier.

“If Xavier hadn’t stepped in to help during the fire, I wouldn’t have let my brother die.”

However, he had calculated Xavier’s feelings for Molly accurately.

Xavier did exchange his life for his brother’s, giving his only gas mask to him.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Jenkins felt both startled and chilled.

He knew his eldest grandson was ambitious, but he never thought that Jerry had so skilfully planned all this since such a young age.

“We mistreated you,” admitted Mr. Jenkins and his father.

At that time, their preference for Molly was indeed excessive.

Everyone tends to favor the smarter child. They were no exception.

“As long as you have no intention of harming your own kin, you’re still part of Jenkins,” After living a long life, Mr. Jenkins had seen and used all kinds of dirty methods.

As long as Jerry didn’t harbor any murderous intentions towards his own flesh and blood, there was still hope for him.

Moreover, Xavier was, after all, still alive. From Mr. Jenkins’s perspective, life was preserved, and therefore, not a crime.

“But grandfather, my younger brother already knows about this.”

The next words out of Jerry’s mouth caused Mr. Jenkins’s heart to skip a beat.

“How did he find out? Jerry, have you lost your mind? He has always perceived us as obstacles. Now that you’ve done something like this, what if he seeks revenge?”

Mr. Jenkins was old and knew that he did not have many days left. He was not afraid of dying, but he was afraid that Molly will seek revenge on Jerry.

“Now, he and Molly are in Sunnydale, closing the net. The Richardson and Jackson families are being dissolved by them as we speak. If Molly makes a move on the Jenkins family…”

Mr. Jenkins’s trembling lips quivered, his eyes slowly losing their spark of life.

If Molly makes a move against the Jenkins family, they would soon fall into his hands.

Even though Molly was a descendant of the Jenkins family, he would never consider renaming his family.

“Mr. Jenkins, young master Molly is back!” The housekeeper suddenly rushed in, his face eager and anxious.

“So what if he’s back? Why the panic!” Seeing the housekeeper’s reaction, Mr. Jenkins’s heart skipped a beat, he was displeased.

The housekeeper’s face turned as white as a sheet, he shakily said, “He…he has brought the police.”

“What?!” Mr. Jenkins abruptly stood up, suddenly clutching his forehead.

“Grandfather!”

“Mr. Jenkins!”

Mr. Jenkins waving away their concerns, he said to Jerry, “Get out of here immediately.”

Mr. Jenkins understood that Molly had come with a motive.

Since he brought the police, he must be harbouring thoughts of no reconciliation.

His intention was to send Jerry to jail.

He had to protect Jerry by all means, and also everything that the Jenkins family held dear.

Michael Gallagher stood outside the mansion. His dashing eyebrows and eyes sparkled beautifully under the sun.

He was wearing a simple long woollen windbreaker coat. His hands were in his pockets and a cold smile was plastered on his lips.

“Officer, you should have your men surround the Villa to prevent any suspect from fleeing,” he instructed confidently.

Since Molly told him the truth, he had not been idle and was collating all the evidence.

While Jerry was his relative, no one had said he couldn’t perform justice over blood.

Officer was sceptical of Michael’s words, “Mr. Gallagher, Mr. Jerry Jenkins is still the heir of the Jenkins family after all. He wouldn’t think of running…”

However, before the officer could complete his sentence, he was proved wrong.

Jerry had just stepped out of the back door but Michael’s bodyguards stopped him.

Seeing his men bring Jerry over, Officer was dumbfounded. He sighed and sheepishly approached, “Mr. Jerry Jenkins, we meet again.”

The last time, Jerry was rescued on bail by Mr. Jenkins’s heavy reward. But this time, it wouldn’t be that easy to leave.

Jerry Jenkins was suspected of premeditated murder.

This wasn’t as simple as a moral issue.

“Michael Gallagher, what do you mean?” Jerry Jenkins freed himself from those holding him, his handsome face rarely showing signs of embarrassment, “Very good, you can even command the police now. However, don’t think that the Officer will blindly believe Scarlett’s words. We are living in a legal society, it’s all about evidence.”

He did look very handsome, to the point where it was impossible to tell if he was more feminine or masculine. People of both sexes would be entranced for a few seconds on catching sight of him.

Looking at the eyes so similar to his own, Michael Gallagher felt a little nauseated.

He stepped forward to face Jerry, smiled coldly and said, “Every crime leaves a trace. Jerry, it’s time to pay for your misdeeds.”

“Michael!” Mr. Jenkins, leaning heavily on his crutch, hobbled, “Michael, he’s your brother! As a request from your grandfather, please, will you spare Jerry, please?”
