BOUND BY TRADITION

Chapter 7

The entire villa room calmed down because of Jack’s words.

Then a burst of laughter lifts, everyone looks at Jack derisively.

“He's really stupid or pretends, doesn't he understand what we said? He actually took the task.”

“He comes as it should be, I no longer worry that no one will take this task. It's quite funny, Melissa married a "good" husband.”

“Among all those present, only Jack believes that he can buy the official Corecloud Land Enterprise building. I don't know if Melissa is mad at him to death.”

“Speak below, and don't let Master Patrick hear it. Since Jack said that, he deserved to waste money unnecessarily.”

…..

Cindy is the first to react, she anxiously squeezes Jack’s arm and shouts:

“Are you crazy? Who gave you the right to accept this task casually? Patrick is willing only to pay five million, do you pay the rest? Melissa also never predicted that he would accept the task for her at this precise moment; although she also knows that she will not be able to escape it.”

She takes a suspicious look at him, with a dubious look.

The latter tells Melissa seriously:

“ I said I won't let you be humiliated by others. Do you believe me?”

Melissa hesitates a little and then nods to Jack..

“I'll help you with the building's business, you can just promise grandpa, " says Jack.

Although she doesn't know why Jack has the confidence to say that, she understands that Jack doesn't joke with her.”

In any case, things are already happening like that, and it is better to believe it. Melissa just nods her head.

Hearing the conversation between the two, she widened her eyes and immediately said:

“Melissa, his words don't count, don't be the beast!”

Melissa ignores it and turns to Patrick by saying:

“Grandfather, I will follow your instructions.”

Jeremy and Sonia are surprised that Melissa takes the task; Jeremy is not yet satisfied and says rolling his eyes:

“It's not enough that you promised it. But who knows if you intend to harm the future of the company or not. Five million is not a small amount. If you waste money, it will seriously affect the company.”

Frowning right away and looking at Jeremy, she asks:

“Jeremy, I have already promised my grandfather to find a way to buy the building. What more do you want?”

“I don't want anything, but it's for the sake of my grandfather. He gave you five million, in case you want to take the money, what do you do then? And who promises that you can absolutely buy the building? If not, you wasted the time of Grandfather.” Jeremy argues.

Melissa is very angry. Not long ago, it's Jeremy who said she could buy the building, but now it's still him who worries that she can't buy it. Jeremy does everything to embarrass her.

“Jeremy's concern is rational. You say you can buy the building for five million, so who can promise it?” Patrick also says.

“I promise she will buy it,” Jack says again.

Jeremy laughs with a mocking air and says:

“Do you promise? Everyone knows you're stupid, your promise is worth nothing!”

Not angry at all, Jack said with a laugh:

“Since you don't believe me, do you dare to bet with me in front of grandpa?”

Jeremy laughs right away, he believes that Jack is sent by God to help her. Just now, he intends to say something to hunt Melissa from the Decastros family, if she will not buy the building, and Jack provides her with a good idea.

“Okay, I'm betting with you. If she can't buy it, you and her get out of the family of the Decastros, and can't come back!” Jeremy says with a gloomy air.

“Ok, but if she will buy it, in front of our grandfather, you must prostrate yourself to apologize. OK?” Jack asks by staring at Jeremy.

Jeremy doesn't believe at all that Melissa will buy the Land Company villa Corecloud for five million. If they bet, he will undoubtedly win. So he swore to say: “I bet. It is understood, and grandfather bears witness, if you two do not buy it, you will come out of the Decastro family!”

Jack doesn't say anymore and approaches Melissa.Since the bet is confirmed, Patrick announces the end of the family reunion, and gives Melissa five days to buy the building.

At the entrance to the residential area, Cindy reaches out to stop Jack, and does not let him in.

“Because of you, we will all be driven out early or late! Why do you bet with Jeremy, well, if Melissa doesn't buy the building, we will be driven out and lead a miserable life. You intend to give us back the same shit as you, right!”

On the way back, Cindy gets angry and scolds him all along the way, when they arrive at the neighborhood entrance, she even prevents him from entering.

Melissa and Gilbert hold Cindy, otherwise she would already rush to fight with Jack.

“ Mom, what happened today was deliberately caused by Jeremy and Sonia. Even if Jack doesn't have the promise, I won't be able to escape him anyway; please don't blame him anymore,” Melissa is trying to persuade her.

“Shit! Today's situation is caused by this noodle; without him, we will not be despised and mistreated. I'm not going to let him into our house anymore!” Cindy says in a hysterical voice.

“Mom, don't worry. If I bet with Jeremy, it's because I believe in Melissa that she can buy the building. As soon as she buys it, Jeremy won't be able to do anything,” Jack explains to Cindy.

“It's useless! The building is worth ten million, will it be sold to you for five million? Do you think that the Corecloud Land Enterprise is a charitable work?” Cindy said with resentment.

Powerless, he doesn't know how to explain it to her.

“Stop, Mom, so many people are looking at us; do you want everyone to know that?” Melissa said with a frown.

Cindy looks around her and finds a lot of people looking at them, then she moderates.

She casts a vicious look at Jack, and says:

“You only have five days. Five days later, if Melissa doesn’t buy it, you have to divorce her!” And then she walks towards the neighborhood.

Jack squints his eyes and marmot:

“Five days is too much. Tomorrow, I will present to you whether what I am doing is correct or not.”
