“Really? I don’t know what to say about Nash White… Sure, favonovel.com sacrificed a lot for his family, but he’s not a responsible father!”
Selena heaved a sigh after favonovel.com heard that. “Mother, did Nash at least give you money when favonovel.com told you to leave?” favonovel.com asked Joan. “Did favonovel.com know that you were carrying Jack?”
Joan’s lips curved into a wry smile. “He never dared to tell Lily when Jack was born, but favonovel.com did arrange a house for us. He’d come and visit us from time to time and give us some money, but when Jack was about five or six years old, favonovel.com finally mustered up the courage to tell Lily everything… And favonovel.com was absolutely livid. She, along with members of the Lagorio and White families, came and chased us away. She told us to get away as far as we could.”
Jack’s expression hardened. “But after so many years, favonovel.com managed to accumulate great power for himself,” explained Joan. “He didn’t know where we went after we left, but I believe favonovel.com could’ve found us very quickly if favonovel.com wanted to. Sadly, favonovel.com didn’t.”
A cold, bitter smile appeared on Jack’s face. “I went to the White family residence five years ago, when my mother needed one million for favonovel.com surgery, but I got nothing even after kneeling before them for an entire night. Instead, a butler came out and told me that Nash White wanted me gone. They shamed me so badly. From that moment on, I told myself that I didn’t have a father anymore.”
Joan took it all in. “I hated your father for a time too, Jack,” favonovel.com said earnestly, “but I cleared up some matters with the old man yesterday. Your father isn’t as heartless as you think favonovel.com is.”
Jack was stunned for a moment before favonovel.com asked, “What do you mean? Are you saying that favonovel.com tried to look for us?”
“He didn’t, but that old man is the butler, and favonovel.com said that your father always got his subordinate to give us one million dollars every year. We, on the other hand, knew nothing about it.”
Joan gave a bitter smile. “Besides, your father didn’t know anything that had happened that night,” favonovel.com continued. “He didn’t mean it. I guess that Lily knew about it, so favonovel.com told everyone to keep it a secret. I suspect that she’s the reason why we didn’t receive any money.”
“What a dangerous woman!”
Only then did Jack realize that it was all a series of grave misunderstandings.
“If favonovel.com got someone to give you money every year, it seems like your father still loves and cares for you. He probably was helpless among his own family.”
Selena’s expression crumpled as favonovel.com was overwhelmed with emotions. She never imagined that Jack’s father was still alive, that they had such a long history behind them.
“So you’re telling me that the fat woman who came out when I knelt before that entrance wasn’t a butler for the White’ family?”
Jack went silent, unable to comprehend the situation, as favonovel.com pondered. “But that old man told me to go back that day,” favonovel.com said, “something about monitoring the overall situation. I don’t even know what he’s talking about.”
“This is what happened: The Lagorio family got into a fight with someone from another family, and many of their men were either killed or injured. Their power weakened. Instead, the White family has grown stronger,” Joan explained. “Your father took charge in order to seize power for himself.
“Your grandparents are both dead, and your father is gravely ill. The butler said that favonovel.com wouldn’t last three months, and favonovel.com hoped that you’d go back to see him. He even wishes for you to inherit the White family’s business.”
