Chapter 157: Revealing the truth to Irene.
"Awww... heyyy... Wait a minute, hear my explanation...
Why are you getting worked up so much? The evidence clearly linked to your brother and father.
If this thing affected them and caused some chaos inside your family, it would be good for you in the future.
Possibly it can weaken their influence inside the family. It will be our chance, and how to use that situation will be your choice."
After Irene heard his explanation, she thought that if this matter caused heavy damage to those two bastard father and son,
then it would definitely be beneficial to her in the family. She could develop her force further and plant more of her people inside the family business amidst the chaos.
Jack watched the woman already visualizing various vicious schemes in her mind, and her eyes started to shine more brightly.
"At first, my aim was to divert the attention of this incident to the Sinclair family, and who would have thought you would pursue this matter this seriously.
Even try to kill Rebecca due to your slightest suspicion. It seems we really have some fate to meet like this."
Irene came out of her thoughts. She had already laid out some plans in her mind in that short time.
She kissed his cheek and said, "There is indeed some fate between us, and why don’t you come with me to the capital?
With your skills and intelligence, then our work will be done much faster, and the Thomson family will soon be under my control."
Jack heard her inviting him to the capital. He didn’t reply immediately. The room filled with silence.
Irene watched the man hesitating to answer. She gave a punch to his chest and grumbled.
"What are you hesitating for? Was all the talk about you having a crush on me and wanting to make me your woman a lie?"
Irene, in her mind, had already taken a liking to this man without realizing it. It happened because of mix of both the pink mist ability and the fact that he was more skilled than her in combat.
Jack didn’t stay silent any longer. "It’s not because I’m hesitating to go with you. I have a lot of attachments and commitments in this town. So I can’t leave immediately."
He explained about the family that he had built and the group of wives he had in this town.
Irene watched the man speaking and stuffing a whole load of his lust achievements and manliness into his story about how many women he had kept here.
She really wanted to beat him up and rough him up hard. After some time, Jack stopped his explanation and looked at the gloomy expression on Irene’s face.
"What happened? Did I say something wrong?"
Irene, whose heart was boiling with anger at that time, really didn’t know what to say to this man. She thought to herself,
With his appetite, it was indeed normal for him to keep many women under him. After all, even the useless old men in our family had so many women and playthings under them. With his endurance and strong body, I alone can’t satisfy this beast of a man.
So she came to understand the reality and calmed herself down.
"Nothing. I was just feeling tired, and if you continue to stay here, how will you help me deal with my family?"
Jack sighed in relief. He had expected that this devil-like woman would get offended because he had so many women.
But the expected scolding from her never came.
"I still have some time to take care of things here. After I finish my things here, I will meet you in the capital."
After that, the two of them lay naked on the same bed and discussed many things until they both drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, Irene, Rebecca, and Vivian sat in the garden area. Jack sat between the three women.
Rebecca and Irene had already introduced themselves and become acquainted. Jack explained to Rebecca that the matter of old Harold’s death was completely over.
Rebecca released a long sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Jack. Finally, everything has come to an end."
Jack patted her shoulder. "From now on, it will only be good days for you and your family in the future."
Then he turned his head and looked at Irene, who was eagerly watching his every action in detail.
He immediately shifted his focus to Irene and asked her,
"When will you depart for the capital?"
"It will take a week or two to finish everything. Even though we decided to place all the blame on the Sinclair family, I still need to do a fake investigation on the surface.
If I depart early, then it will definitely arouse some suspicion. They have always had prejudice against me since childhood.
The people under my brother are always watching me like hawks. If any crack or flaw appears against me, they will use it to act against me immediately and sabotage me to reduce my strength in the family."
Jack thought of the whip scars on her back from yesterday. It seemed that her situation was not good even after she had grown this powerful.
He held her hands tightly and pulled her into his arms, hugging her against his chest.
"After you go to the capital, I will inform Selena from the Akechi family about your situation. She is also one of us and my woman, just like you.
You can ask her for any assistance or help. She will definitely lend you a hand within her capability."
Irene, who was hugged tightly, had her face pressed closely against his chest. The scent of the sandalwood perfume that Jack regularly used filled her nostrils.
She felt as if her mind had completely calmed and experienced a sense of security that she had never felt anywhere after her mother’s death in her childhood.
Her eyes reddened slightly as the long-buried emotions in her heart were lightly stirred at that moment. Soon, she controlled herself.
