Chapter 228 - We had no other choice

George frowned and said," Jackson you-"

Cutting him off, Jackie frowned and shouted," You shut up. You don't have the right to even utter a single word. What kind of man are you? What kind of father are you? Sabrina is a heartless woman and she had always been like that since we were young but you-" 

" Jackie enough." Grandpa Jones said.

Uncle Herpi approached Jackie and asked," Jack you knew she was alive?"

Jackie sighed and said," I came to know about this just a year ago. When dad started going to California, I had my doubts but no matter how much I tired I could never find out why did he go there. But when a year ago he found out that Silvia was alive, he told me about it and then he also told me that Sabrina and George are alive."

Jackie took a deep and said," Herpi I know I should've told you and Thomas about it but I just couldn't."

Grandpa Jones frowned and said," What does this mean? Were you helping them?"

Turning towards his father, Jackie said," Remember what I told you dad? I told you that I am helping you only because I love you and mom. For you both I did not tell about Sabrina and George to anyone but now I cannot."

Uncle Herpi sighed and patted Jackie's shoulder and said," Its alright mate."

" Dad this-"

Cutting Kevin off, uncle Herpi said," Jackson is our childhood friend. When Sabrina and George died it was Jackson who helped us handle all the official paperwork. He was the one who tampered the birth log books."

" And he was the one who made that empty grave in Silvia's name to make everything look realistic." Uncle Thomas added.

Rocky frowned and asked," But how did you manage to do that? Tampering the logs-"

" Before taking over the VP role in Jones Enterprise, he was a government official." Matt said.

Uncle Herpi nodded his head and said," He is right." 

" I tried really hard to conceal Silvia's identity from my family but I don't know how father found out about her." Jackson said.

*THASH*

Sabrina gasped when Grandpa Jones gave Jackie a tight slap.

" You ungrateful brat, you lied to me. How dare you play tricks with me?" Grandpa Jones shouted.

Sabrina quickly approached her father and said," Please dad calm down. It's not good for your health." 

Jackie frowned and shouted," Oh shut up Sabrina. Don't try to act like a pitied wronged woman in front of everyone." 

Covering her face with both her hands, Sabrina shouted," Why doesn't anyone understand me? Why? I did that because I did not have any choice. I was helpless, I felt helpless." 

George quickly hugged his wife and said," Calm down honey."

Grabbing George's collar, Sabrina said," Tell them honey that we had no other choice, we had no other choice."

" So you really passed on the leadership to your seven years old daughter?" Aunt Julie asked.

George frowned and said," Silvia is our first born daughter and we love her. We love her more than anything in this world."

Silvia, who has been silent all the way long asked," Then why did you do that? Why did you leave me alone and just leave?" 

Kevin tightened his grip around her and whispered," You don't have to worry, I am right here."

Wiping her tears away, Silvia nodded her head.

Sabrina straightened herself and wiped her tears away and said," Mom was the leader of SPIRIT and when I saw those people bowing in front of her and listening to her orders it felt so nice. My mom had power and those men also feared her. It was amazing and I wanted that too."

Pausing for a while, Sabrina continued," When mom told me about SPIRIT and the power that it's leader possessed, I was blinded by it and I wanted it. At first mom denied she told me that it was dangerous but I wanted to taste the feeling of being powerful. So when I forced her she reluctantly agreed to pass on her leadership to me when I am ready and after that, I started preparing myself for the competition."

Looking at George, Sabrina continued," I was in college when I met George. When I told him about SPIRIT, George was very supportive and he told me that he would help me in every possible way. The Green family had a very simple background so I could easily marry him without breaking any kind of rules."

Looking at uncle Thomas, Sabrina pursed her lips and said," But who would've thought that the Green family is not as simple as I assumed it to be."

Kevin frowned and asked," What do you mean?"

" Why don't you ask brother Thomas about it?" Sabrina said.

Uncle Herpi frowned and said," Continue."

" After winning the completion, I married George and everything was just awesome. When Silvia was born, things became more beautiful. George and I loved her a lot, she was our little packet of joy but things changed when Silvia turned seven." Sabrina said.

Pausing for a while, Sabrina said," When SPRITI found out that the Greens were not as simple as I had told them it was, they thought I had tricked and manipulated them. They thought that George and I had ill thoughts and we wanted to harm SPIRIT. No matter how hard we tried to make them understand, nothing worked. They wanted me to leave George or even better kill him and to top that up, I found out that I was pregnant with Jeren."

Chris frowned and asked," So what if you were pregnant."

" The present leader cannot have another child for another ten years if her first born child is a daughter. They made this rule so that the leader can focus only on her daughter and train her for the competition." Grandpa Jones said.

" I couldn't leave George, he was my life and I loved him and I didn't want to abort our child as well. The baby was innocent and I couldn't let her suffer but I knew that if I don't leave him and tell them about my pregnancy, they would kill George and the baby too so I had no other choice but to make Silvia the next heir, fake our death and leave the country along with George and our unborn child." Sabrina said before bursting into tears.

" We had no other choice and-"

Cutting him off, Kevin said," Silvia was as innocent as your unborn child. How could you do that to your own daughter?"
