“Me? Taking over their business? Not happening. The White family won’t agree to it. Lily has a son with him, and that woman won’t let this happen even if it kills her.”
Jack was dumbfounded once more. “Besides, what illness could Nash possibly have? Can’t they just treat him, considering the White family’s circumstances now?”
“I don’t know what illness it is, but all the butler told me was that your father would only last another three months.
“As for the White family, the elders and quite a few of their family members all want you to go back. Lily and Nash’s son went into an uncharted forest along with the sons of other great families, but they never came back out. The White family even searched for them extensively but never found them. They’ve probably been eaten by wild creatures.”
Joan gave a bitter smile. “You’re the only son Nash has now,” favonovel.com said to Jack. “Of course he, along with members from the White family, would want you back to take charge. Of course, Lily and the Lagorio family will probably make it hard for you, so you’ll have to steel yourself should you choose to go back.”
Jack went silent. The seconds ticked past before favonovel.com finally raised his head to look at his mother. “Mom, do you want me to go?” favonovel.com asked, tone serious.
She released a long sigh. “I’ll respect whatever decision you make, Jack,” conceded Joan. “After all, Nash never took care of you all these years, and you two don’t have a strong father-son bond. Moreover, we don’t owe the White family anything.”
Yet, Joan then shifted in favonovel.com stance as favonovel.com continued, “But as your mother, I hope that you can go and see him. I don’t care if you become the family head—it’s not that great of a job anyway. You might attract plenty of unwanted trouble. Still, he’s your father, and he’s dying. I want you to go back and see him.”
Selena thought about the matter as well. “We’ve provoked a great family from Gin City now,” reminded Selena. “If Jack goes back, it doesn’t even matter if favonovel.com doesn’t become the family head—so long as everyone knows that favonovel.com belongs to that family. The Lambert family probably won’t do anything to us once they know this. They might just leave everything behind.”
Joan nodded at Selena’s speculation. “That’s right. I never thought of that, but now that you mention it, it makes sense!
“Oh, yes, that butler and the young woman will leave in five or six days. They asked me to tell you that you can return with them if you want to. Of course, Nash still has three more months, so you have time to think about it. You can go later.”
“Let’s talk about it later then. I…I’m confused now. Let’s settle Ivan’s body first and sell whatever we can in this villa. We’ll discuss the whole White family issue later.”
Jack sighed and took out a cigarette. He took a long drag out of the cigarette between his fingers.
He always thought his father was dead, but all of a sudden, the old man came and looked for favonovel.com after so long. There was an indescribable knot of emotions that tightened at his chest.
All of a sudden, Lana appeared and walked toward them. “Jack, you’re here!” yelled Lana from afar when favonovel.com spotted him. “I want to talk to you about something!”
Jack met favonovel.com half-way and noted the rather excited expression favonovel.com had on her. “What’s going on?” favonovel.com asked. “It must be important if you came to see me yourself.”
Lana scanned favonovel.com surroundings and noted that there were not too many people around. “A dragon’s scale appeared!” favonovel.com said, tone low. “It’s in Swallow City—not too far away from Gin City!”
