Jack Adams; Secretly Incharge

Chapter Four:

Two hours later after Jack Adams had saved Emilia Williams and her brother Clarke Williams, he is now packing his belongings from his matrimonial bedroom in his in-law's place.

Just then his phone rang.

“Hello, Mr Lee, I have actually warned you not to call me on this line.”

Jack Adams said as he immediately closed the door to the room.

“I'm very sorry, Mr Jack, by the way, I heard today marks the day of your mom's fifteenth death anniversary…”

“I'm really sorry for the loss.”

“Mr Lee, don't worry about that, I will find those who did that soon enough and put all of them where they belong.”

“To what exactly do I owe this call?” Jack Adams asked as he sat on the bed.

“Mr Jack Adams, I would like to beg you for a little favour.”

“You have asked for that favour three times this month…Mr Lee this is the fourth time.”

“Mr Lee, what exactly do you want?”

“I'm very busy at the moment, can't this discussion wait?”

“I really don't think it can, not when it involves Paris Polyphylla.” Mr Lee's voice was a bit hypnotic.

“Did you find more of it?”

“Where?”

“How?” Jack Adams asked, gasping in shock and exhilaration.

“Mr Jack Adams, I didn't find any of it, a friend of mine from one of the elite families is offering a full packet of that rare plant, Paris Polyphylla, to anyone who can cure his wife, Lady Beatrice Williams.”

“Recently Lady Beatrice Williams contracted a deadly virus origin disease and Lord Williams and his family have spent millions of dollars…”

“But all to no avail.”

“So I was wondering if you could show up there, assess the situation and maybe do your thing and get the Paris Polyphylla.”

“A pack of that is valued at nearly two billion dollars…that plant is the perfect description of a green gold.”

“Mr Lee, are you really sure that the Williams family are offering that amount of Paris Polyphylla to anyone who can heal Lady Beatrice Williams?”

“Yes, Mr Jack Adams, I'm really sure about what I'm saying, my sources are as valid as they come.”

“I actually have an insider in most elite families, as the leader of the Elite five families, don't you think that I deserve to have little information on the secrets of my people?” Mr Lee asked, smiling over the phone.

“I really don't have any interest in whatever you just asked, my issue is this…”

“You better be damn right about the Williams family having that amount of Paris Polyphylla because if not I will really be angry with you.”

“Yes sir, I mean yes Mr. Jack Adams.” Mr Lee immediately corrected himself, he was really warned by Scott Benjamin not to blow Jack Adams cover for any reason.

“So is that a yes from you, Mr Jack Adams?” Mr Lee asked.

“I think so, just make sure it's really Paris Polyphylla because we have a lot of these fake plants flying around in the black market.”

“I will Mr Jack Adams, someone will be at Thomas's mansion to pick you up immediately.”

Mr Lee said as he immediately cut the phone.

“This is a relief, now I just have to get two more items and we are ready to go.”

“What are you still doing here?!”

“Hasn't my granddaughter divorced your sorry a** already?!” Lady Nicole Thomas's voice rang in through the door.

“I'm really sorry Lady Nicole, I was just packing up my stuff to leave.”

“Well hurry up! You were never even supposed to be married to her at first!”

“I don't know what is with this generation with love and love and love…who in her right senses would even settle for a poor, unimportant and uninfluential man like you?!”

“I mean look at you, aren't you ashamed of yourself to be even working as a janitor in the same office as your wife?!”

“Nathan Leonard is way better than you will ever be!”

“He is currently the heir to the Leonard's group of companies and you are just…you!”

“Jack, you have really been a disgrace to this family and I'm really happy that Betty finally came to her senses and threw you out of her life.”

“Grandma…she didn't throw me out, I signed the divorce papers.”

“I was the one who decided to leave, and speaking of which, you don't even know me that much and I don't think it would be wise to judge a book by its cover.”

Lady Nicole immediately let out a funny laugh and soon almost the whole of the Thomas family were now inside of the room.

“Grandma, what is going on?!”

“Is the poor brat still here?”

“I was thinking he should have left already, we are expecting Lord Leonard's family soon and I don't want them smelling anything unusual.” Evans Thomas, one of Betty Thomas's cousins said, his voice laced with humiliation and disdain.

“I was just about leaving and I just hope that you people don't live to regret any of your actions.”

“Well, we regret one thing!”

“And that is not kicking you out sooner than now!”

“Do you even know what your marriage to Betty has cost this family?!”

“If Betty had married Justin Bradley or Nathan Leonard by now we would have been at the top tier family level, eating and dining with influential men like Mr Lee the president of Titanium Valley Group…”

“Or even Mr Eugene of the Eugene Global Groups.”

“Jack Adams, every moment I set my eyes on you and recall that you had really married my granddaughter, I feel like puking.”

“If you were the only man left on the face of the earth, I would rather marry a tortoise!” Lady Nicole Thomas said as every member of Thomas's family bursted into laughter.

“Are you all done laughing?”

“Can I please leave now?”

“My cab is already outside!”

“Grandma, don't allow that thief to leave this house!” The voice came from behind and it was Lisa Thomas's voice.

“This thief must have stolen my blue diamond necklace!”

“I can't find it anywhere in my room and he was the last person to be seen around my room!” Lisa immediately accused Jack.

The whole member of the Thomas immediately stared at each other in shock.

“Is he really a gold digger and a poor thief too?”

“What manner of man is he actually?”

“Grandma! If this is true Grandma we really can't let Jack leave this mansion!”

“We have to search for him and find Lisa's blue diamond necklace!” Evans immediately suggested to Lady Nicole Thomas.

“Jack, so you are not just a poor gold digger, you are also a filthy thief!”

“I really wished Betty was here to see the foolish lowlife of a man she was once married to!”

“Quick, Evans grab his bags, pour everything on the floor and search for that necklace!”

“Just pray we don't find that necklace in your bags, Jack Adams!”
