Chapter 43
Perceiving the humble stance from the opponents who had been competing with him to become theleader of the association, Kevin was on cloud nine.
Suppressing his urge to laugh out loud, he blinked and feigned a modest look. "You flattered me, Mr.Lee. We're colleagues. Let's do our best to serve the association."
"You're indeed a sharp-witted person. Don't worry, I'll submit to you and obey your orders from now on."Mr. Lee gave Kevin a thumbs-up.
"You don't have to say that." Kevin waved his hand about with a wide grin.
Meanwhile, Jerry was observing Jacob's action from the rearview mirror while driving the car. Hegrinned when he saw his boss' appearance gradually change.
Noticing Jerry's gaze, Jacob frowned. "Focus on the road. Don't you fool around and delay my plan topick up my daughter!"
"Yes, sir," Jerry hummed in response.
The car traveled two hundred meters before it stopped in front of a traffic light. Jerry turned to askJacob, "Boss, you can't be putting on a disguise every day, can you?"
Jacob shot a glance at Jerry and did not answer him.
Thereafter, the car drove past two more traffic lights. The Shadow Ranger, who completed his mission,excused himself while Jerry was thrown out of the driver's seat.
Moments later, the car engine was started again. A dejected look spread across Jacob's face.
Perceiving Jerry's confused look, Jacob furrowed his brows and sighed. "You must be curious why Idon't reunite with my daughter directly."
Jerry nodded.
"When I first heard from Gerald that I have a daughter, my immediate response was that I wasdetermined to reunite with her at all costs." Jacob's eyes were tinged with sadness as he said that.
Holding the steering wheel, he made a right turn and continued, "But when I saw Heidi throwing herselfinto her grandfather's arms, I immediately gave up the thought of reuniting with her."
"But why?" Jerry was confused. "Even if your parents-in-law are resentful toward you, that doesn'tchange the fact that you're Heidi's father."
Looking calm, Jacob mumbled, "I've indeed disappointed Naeve's parents, but I don't actually carewhat they think of me. The only person I care about is Heidi."
"I guess I get what you mean, Boss." Jerry nodded. "I've once read a book about parenting. One of thepoints brought up by the author was that adults should avoid disrupting the original life of a child..."
"Anyway, I'll reunite with my daughter one day, but not now. Alright, it's time for you to get off." Jacobpulled over to one side of the road. "The missions of Shadow Squad will focus more on Paramountmoving forward."
"Roger that, Boss. I'll make the necessary arrangements," Jerry answered before getting out of the car. novelbin
Half an hour later, Jacob picked Moira and Heidi from the neighborhood and sent them to NewlifeHospital.
On the other hand, the spirited Franklin returned to Rowan Lane in a posh car after being treated like aVIP in Oriental Tower.
The moment he entered the house, he couldn't wait to share the incident. "Suzie, I have good news foryou!"
Suzie, who was sitting on the couch beside three large, silver suitcases in the living room, sprang upwith her bulging abdomen and exclaimed, "We're going to make a fortune, Honey!"
"Hey, be careful!" Taken aback, Franklin quickly hugged his wife, who dashed toward him inexcitement.
Noticing the three familiar, huge suitcases out of the corner of his eyes, Franklin had a brainwave andblurted, "Fifteen million?"
