At first, Garric thought he had succeeded in scaring Hugh with his threats. Jean also smiled when he heard his son say that, but Harold looked uncertain about his son's threat.And it turned out to be true that Garric, who had just been swept away by dreams of victory, was forced to swallow a bitter pill when he heard Hugh laugh out loud after hearing his words."Are you threatening me, young man? Wow! How dare you!" Hugh said in a sharp tone."Have you forgotten who I am? Or have you ignored who I am and my position in this country?" Hugh continued with a sharp look as he looked at Garric.Garric, who had originally smiled, did not dare to smile anymore. The man looked a little weak and didn't have the courage to look at the old man again.Harold, knowing the mistake his son had made, immediately said, "Uncle, Garric didn't mean to threaten Uncle like that. It's just that you also know that what you did was unjustifiable. In fact, you still have another family, namely me and my famil
Garric was stunned. He didn't know how to react to his father's unexpected actions.He did not understand if his father was too reckless or foolish to speak to Hugh Morland like that.In his opinion, Hugh would definitely refuse his father's request. Of course, Hugh would want to keep his grandson safe and not have to know about their family.Jean agreed with her son. But she didn't want to make the situation worse by expressing her opinion, so she just kept quiet and waited for Hugh Morland's answer.Hugh himself looked pensive and looked directly at Harold, who was staring at him fearlessly.It was as if he wanted to convince the old man to trust him completely.What did he really want? Even though he knew for sure that I would refuse. But why does he insist on asking? Hugh replied with a furrowed brow that indicated he was confused.However, Hugh realized that if he continued to refuse his nephew's request, they would definitely not remain silent, and what was worse, they were despe
Harold looked so pleased that he actually wanted to clap for his son."You're smart." Harold praised his son's hunch.Garric smiled back and said, "Of course. I know because one of Grandpa Hugh's weaknesses is his current grandson."Jean looked a little confused, so he made a face that indicated he didn't understand.Garric explained very patiently, "When someone is eager to protect that person, it means that person is a major weakness of their own. This was very clear when Grandfather Hugh tried to hide his biological grandson and then desperately protected him by not letting people get close to him."Harold smiled again as his son was able to understand the situation he had also seen when they were in the Morland household."Well, the main point here is that Hugh has a major weakness in Jack, the grandson, who may not be able to stand on his own yet, so he needs to be protected in such a way that he is not touched by the people around him," Jean explained after hearing her son's exp
"Whenever I'm ready, Dad. If you ask me to take immediate action tomorrow, I will not refuse and I will do it to the best of my ability," Garric replied with confidence and determination.He thought this might be a way to make his parents proud of him.He could take the chance to impress his parents without thinking the idea.He had to prove to his parents that he was reliable as a member of Morland Family.All this time he had lived off the gifts of Hugh Morland. He never struggled to earn anything and his parents never forced his to do anything.But with the appearance of Hugh's biological grandson, Garric felt he had a chance to change all that and become the savior of his family.Harold smiled with relief at his son's agreement, "Very well, son. Then we'll organize the plan right away so that we can get closer to Jack more quickly."Jean, hearing her husband's words, then asked, "But ... what if Uncle Hugh contacts you to meet Jack before our son meets him?"Harold nodded his head
Gideon cleared his throat immediately, not wanting to make Jack suspicious of him."My apologies, young master. I mean, I'd still like to spend some time touring the city with you," Gideon replied, looking at the streets as if he didn't dare look at his young master.Jack was beginning to be suspicious of his grandfather's confidant, but he couldn't possibly refuse the man's wishes. Gideon had helped him so much that accompanying him around the city would be no problem for him."All right, I'll go with you. I've never been to this town before," Jack replied honestly.The young man was instantly reminded of his childhood spent only in an orphanage.Even since graduating from high school and then entering Rundall University to continue his education and then living in a special dormitory provided by the college, Jack had never traveled around the city. His time was always spent working and concentrating on his studies.In fact, he hadn't had much time to spend with his friends or girl
Gideon took some time to respond to the great master's words.And finally, when he was able to control his voice, he opened his mouth immediately, "Is this a reality, sir? Mr. Harold openly wants to meet with Young Master Jack?""Yes. Harold said it to my face and obviously he must have something planned," Hugh explained as he leaned his head back against the cushioned chair.Gideon frowned, visibly displeased by this fact, but still trying to keep himself from swearing, he said slowly, "Then do you approve of their wishes, sir?" Actually, just by looking at the agitated face of his great master, Gideon could already guess what Hugh Morland's answer would be.However, it seemed that hearing the answer directly from the great lord might make him understand, so he waited for Hugh to explain it to him."I have no choice but to decline. I would rather plan their meeting with my grandson myself than have to watch them try to meet my grandson in secret. It's very dangerous if that happens,
"Yes, sir. We know what to do," one of the guards said in a serious tone.Besides the extra guards, George Cleve had also been ordered to stay by Jack's side wherever he went.In fact, once they were in Jack's room, George didn't leave his side and stood in the corner like a living statue, keeping an eye on the situation.Jack was actually beginning to wonder about the strange behavior of his personal bodyguard.But he didn't want to make the bodyguard uncomfortable, so he decided to wait a while.But when Jack called Edward and Jose, George still didn't move. This made him even more confused and suspicious. He thought that he could let George do it again.Jack decided to ask, "George, what's wrong? Why do you seem to be watching me more and more? Is this an order from Grandpa?" George, of course, had already prepared an answer to that one question.The very young man replied, "Yes, young master. I have special orders from Mr. Hugh to watch over you because it is feared that business
With his usual flat expression, George immediately replied to the young master, "Young master, I truly apologize if you are disturbed by my presence. However, there are a lot of strangers on this campus, and I don't want to be negligent in performing my duties."Oh, no. Jack was beginning to dislike this. In the past, he had never been bothered by the presence of bodyguards who always stood guard around him, dressed like ordinary young people.But now that his identity had been revealed to the public, Jack felt uncomfortable.In fact, at this time, several people were looking at him while whispering as if they were talking about him.Unfortunately, Jack actually heard some of the sentences they were saying."Oh, I know he's rich, but ... does he have to show his wealth by asking his bodyguards to accompany him wherever he goes?" The person said in a cynical tone that sounded so obvious."Oh my! I wonder about the new rich man syndrome like Jack. He must really want to show the world
