Lance cannot wait to leave the place and confront Elder Parker regarding his motive for this arrange marriage.
Jacob is thinking the same. All this time, they thought that it was Elder Do who proposed for a marriage between him and J but it turns out that it was his grandfather.
"And about that agreement," Jacob continued. "I don't think we'll ever come to an agreement. My stand never and will never change. You cannot separate me from my wife, and you cannot touch any of my family. Even if you kill me that is if you will ever be able to kill me." Jacob glared at Jack Ogden then to Alex with murderous intent.
Jack Ogden let out maniacal laughter. Everyone even Alex looked at him as if he has gone mad.
"You'll never get away with this Parker. You are making it hard for everyone. You are just putting your family in a lifelong war. You don't understand it, do you?" Jack Ogden's eyes darken, it's as if he is being possessed.
"I will never stop until I get the Robin Hood Society. Oh…scratch that. Maybe, I will, but temporarily. That's if the heiress died." After his last words, there were sudden dark clouds surround them. It was thick and menacing maybe because it came from two persons.
"But it will just prolong the process. If the current heiress dies, the Robin Hood Society will find another heir, thus giving me another opportunity." Jack Ogden continued. "The cycle will just continue, you refuse, someone or the heir will die, and they'll find another heir. I will not stop until I got what I wanted."
"Unless I kill you," Jacob said between gritted teeth.
Jack Ogden let out another maniacal laugh. "You are right, Parker. Unless you kill me. That is if you'll ever be able to kill me." It was obvious that Jack Ogden doesn't trust that his grandson will continue his advocacy.
Elder Parker snickered. "It seems that everyone had gone invincible. Tell me, why are you much interested in the Robin Hood Society?"
Jack Ogden looked at Elder Parker. He looks at him as if he is reading his minds. "As if you didn't know." He answered, making everyone flustered. It seems that Elder Parker knows something.
"Anyway," Jack Ogden waved his hand in the air. "You are right, Parker. It seems that we will never reach an agreement except for a bloodbath. And I cannot promise you that no one will die. Your beloved heiress might even die. I don't understand your way of thinking, choosing the hard path when you can simply put an end to this. We won't be conversing here right now if Alexander didn't choose the hard path at the beginning. He just made the life of his loved ones miserable. First Lilian and now his granddaughter."
Lilian?
Everyone looked at Jack Ogden with curiosity. One question lingering in their mind. Who is Lilian?
"The girl is dead," Elder Parker said in a sharp tone.
Jack Ogden smiled sardonically. "Is she? I will never forget how good Alexander is at hiding people. Tsk! I wouldn't be surprised if one day, the Elites found out that the current leader of the Robin Hood Society is none other than Lilian because it was obvious that it is not the heiress or any of you Parkers."
Elder Parker narrowed his eyes at Jack Ogden. "You really are an insane man if you think that a dead person is running the Robin Hood Society. You've gone obsessed."
Jack Ogden just shrugged his shoulder indicating that he doesn't mind what other people think of him.
….
"I am not entertaining any questions until we reached the headquarters." Elder Parker said as soon as they got inside Jacob's SUV.
Because he knows that their meeting with Jack Ogden gave out a lot of information that left everyone puzzled.
Did he really propose that arrange marriage?
What was his intention?
Why is Jack Ogden so eager to get the Robin Hood Society?
Who is Lilian?
Is she really dead or hiding like what Jack Ogden assumed?
….
When Elder Parker and Jacob left Jack Ogden was left with Alex's icy glare.
"Are you planning to hurt Jenny?" Alex immediately asked once they were alone.
"It depends on the circumstances. If they still refuse, then I'll have her killed. It is better than not having her." Jack Ogden replied casually ignoring Alex's icy glare. "It is easier to get what I wanted when no one is standing on my way. And that woman is a hitch."
"Don't you dare!" All that Alex sees is red. He cannot let his grandfather hurt the person he loves. It is fine if he cannot have her as long as she'll live where he'll still get the chance to see her beautiful face and get close to her and feel her presence.
Jack Ogden glared back at Alex. "You insolent! I have told you already! Your emotions are making you weak! If you keep on acting like this I won't hesitate to disown you and leave you with nothing but a rag in the streets!"
