Chapter 242: Wilfred

Wilfred had been out with a group of friends, just celebrating for the success that they had gotten in the company recently. But suddenly, he received a message from his son, claiming that there was a problem at home.Even though he was irritated, he had no other choice but to leave the celebration aside, and head back home as soon as possible. He understood that it was impossible for Charles to play a prank on him. And since he had claimed that there was problem at home, it indicated that it was a problem that was big, one that required him to solve it.

As for depending on his wife to solve the problem, that would be impossible. Wilfred understood that his wife was completely unreliable in solving things. She only knew how to make things worse than they already were.

So, he got inside his car, and drove back home as fast as possible. He did not give much explanation to his friends, considering that even he himself did not understand what was going on back at home.

But what he had never expected was what he saw the moment that he entered. At the furthest of the hall, he could see a figure that he had not seen in a long time.

Even though more than 4 years had already gone by ever since the last time that he had seen him, still, this boy had undergone a lot of changes, but it was not to the extent that he could not recognize him.

Other than seeing Jaden at the furthest end of the hall, inside the living room, he could hear the sound of someone screaming. Just from the voice, he could immediately tell that it was his wife.

There was a gloomy expression on Wilfred's face the moment that he noticed that Jaden was here. And, due to the fact that Jaden was standing there, gazing back at him, it was clear that things had gone terribly wrong.

In normal occasions, it was not impossible for his wife and son to chase him away. But now, from the fact that his wife was screaming, and Jaden was standing there unharmed, this problem was definitely bigger than expected.

Despite feeling unhappy about the current situation, Wilfred hanged his coat aside, before walking towards the living room. The moment that he got there, he realized that not only was his wife currently rolling on the ground, but even his son was on the ground, clutching his chest.

Wilfred's frown deepened. He gazed at the two people on the ground, before looking back at Jaden. He did not say anything, and went ahead and took a seat on the couch.

The moment that Charles and his mother realized that Wilfred was here, the two of them finally felt relieved. While Charles was not able to get back yet, his mother suddenly got up.

Despite Charles crushing into her, she was not that much injured. Still, she stumbled a little, as she staggered towards her husband.

When she got to where Wilfred was, she pointed towards Jaden and said, "You have to beat that bastard. Can you see what he did to me and your son? You have to make sure that he rots in jail!"

Wilfred completely ignored what his wife had said. Instead, he was looking at Jaden who had already taken a seat on the opposite couch.

Currently, he was wondering what gave Jaden the confidence that he was having. Just by looking at Jaden right now, he could tell the differences between the current Jaden and the Jaden that he had seen four years ago.

While the previous Jaden was also confident, the current confidence was way above the one that he possessed those years back. Additionally, it seemed that he had improved quite well.

"Are you even listening to me? I am telling you that you have to do something about this bastard. Make sure that he rots in jail. I don't want to see him ever again. In fact, if possible, why don't you just break his legs?" At this moment, his wife suddenly spoke up again.

A little irritated, Wilfred gazed at his wife with irritation clear in his face. The moment that the wife saw the expression on his face, she immediately shut up.

Even though most of the time Wilfred would do whatever she said, when he was irritated, things would get messy. So, she understood that it was better to make sure that she did not speak up the moment that he got angry.

She would rather not provoke him in such a situation, and wait until he calmed down to confront him. But for now, she could only glare at Jaden, without saying anything more.

"It is nice to see you Jaden. I would like to know what brought you here today?" Wilfred asked with a calm voice.

Jaden did not respond immediately. Instead, he took a few seconds, before finally responding, "I believe that you already know the reason why I am here. Or do I have to say it myself?"

Upon hearing that, Wilfred frowned a little. Of course, he understood what Jaden had said. It was clear that Jaden was here to reclaim what rightfully belonged to him, and had been taken from him 6 years ago.

Wilfred remembered clearly back then. Completely different from his elder brother, Jaden's father, he was not as smart and successful. And so, he was not rich as well.

And the moment that his elder brother died, Wilfred was of course not unhappy at all. Even though he was not happy as well, at least, it could be said that he was completely indifferent to the incident.

At that time, since Jaden was still 15 years old, it was clear that he was the one that was going to take over everything that his elder brother owned. After all, even Jaden's mother had passed away together with the father.

With Jaden being a junior, it was impossible for him to be able to own the property. So, he had to live under a guardian.

Since he was currently the only relative available, that was very close to his brother in terms of blood relationship, he was the one that took over most of the property. As for the other relatives, they took the remainder.

At that time, even though he did not like his elder brother, he wanted to take care of Jaden. After all, Jaden was still the owner of the property, even though they were currently under him.

Of course, he did not have the intention of giving them to Jaden, even if he grew up. Instead, he was thinking of raising Jaden, and later on, telling him that the property that was supposed to be given to him was the one that was used to raise him.

But then, his wife came up with an idea. That was, they had to chase Jaden away. They could not take any risk in allowing Jaden to be here. After all, if he continued staying here, there was no telling if he could start competing with Charles for taking over the property later on, when he grew up.

Even though he was hesitant, he thought that what his wife had said was actually true. So, he immediately asked Jaden to leave. He understood that Jaden had a few dollars with him, and he thought that it was not going to be impossible for him to be able to survive.

For the first two years, he paid attention to him, and upon realizing that Jaden was surviving quite well, he decided not to pay any more attention to him. In any case, the relationship between the two of them was no longer repairable.

So, there was no need for him to waste his time paying attention to a person that might end up dying in the streets. So, he focused on developing the company while using the money that he had gotten from his eldest brother's account.

Of course, they sold quite a few assets that his elder brother possessed. All these were related to medicine, but since he was not a genius when it came to medicine, those things were completely useless to him.

It was that money that had enabled him to be able to develop to the current level that he was in. Currently, he had a net worth of $20 million. Of course, that was not counting the current villa that they were in, considering that this was a villa that was inherited from his elder brother.

Initially, Wilfred had intended to sell this villa, in order to be able to get more capital to boost his business. But his wife refused, claiming that staying within the Maco community was an indication of power. She was not willing to lose that.

Now, 4 years later after he had stopped being attention to Jaden, here he was. He was completely different from what he had expected, and just by looking at his appearance, it was clear that he had not been suffering for the past 4 years.

"You understand that it is impossible for me to be able to give the things that I took from my elder brother. They already belong to me, and for the other things, I already sold them." Wilfred stated with a calm voice.

At this moment, he was not willing to act just yet. He did not understand where Jaden had gotten the confidence to come here to claim his parents' property. So, it was better for him to be a little cautious first.

"You can just go ahead and leave this villa. And more than that, that company of yours, you will have to transfer all the shares to me. After all, you used the money that you got from selling my inheritance in order to boost that business to the level that it is currently in." Jaden responded while crossing his arms in front of his chest.
