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
Jack stared at the hand of the person who claimed to be his distant cousin with a puzzled look. However, he thought that if the distant cousin had bad intentions toward him, he would easily find out. He could not be easily fooled by people.So he shook his cousin's hand and said, "Jack."Garric nodded and smiled, "I saw you on the news.""Hm. Then what is your purpose in coming to see me and what do you want from me?" Jack asked immediately because he didn't want to waste any time.Garric sighed softly, "I told you so many things, but I know you might not believe me. But ... I really have no other choice than to come to you.""What exactly do you mean?" Jack asked with a furrowed brow."Jack, everything in your eyes doesn't necessarily match what's really going on. You're ... new to the Morland family. So I'm sure you don't know much about our family," Garric said in a tone that sounded serious and earnest.Jack became more and more confused and Garric made the best of it, knowing tha
However, Jack could not think about it any further because he had to face his meeting with his grandfather again.That night, Jack decided not to confront his grandfather about Garric. He decided to keep the problem to himself and try to solve it in his own way.In fact, he had already planned to meet Garric. Then, he also decided not to tell his two friends and George, even though the man knew that George would be close to him wherever he went.However, he had thought of the best way to make his plan work.Unfortunately, one morning he couldn't stop himself from asking his grandfather."Grandpa, can I ask you something?" Jack asked as he cut his meat that morning.Hugh raised his eyebrows in surprise at his grandson's question, "You can ask me anything and why do you have to ask permission?"Jack chuckled softly and replied, "Oh, Grandpa. It's so early and I don't want to spoil the nice atmosphere just because of my question."Hugh became even more curious, "What did you want to ask
Since he still wanted to keep the matter to himself, Jack replied, "No, Grandpa. I've never met any strangers or suspicious people."Of course Jack couldn't be said to have lied to his grandfather.The young man had met Garric who was still a member of the Morland family. Of course the young man was no stranger as he knew him despite meeting him for the first time.Hugh visibly nodded in relief at the grandson's explanation.The old man then said once more, "Then be careful, I don't want you to experience anything bad.""Take it easy, George will always take care of me so you can relax and focus on your health, Grandpa. I don't want your health to suffer just because you're thinking about me," Jack said in a solemn tone.Although he did suspect something that his grandfather had been hiding, Jack loved him and was always thinking about his health.After all, Hugh was the only person who had a direct relationship with him and he didn't want the old man to think about bad things not to
When George took the young master to the flower shop, Jack quickly racked his brains to get away from his personal bodyguard."George, find me a yellow rose that has at least eight petals," Jack ordered the man who was taken aback by what he thought was a strange task.George, who looked thoughtful, then asked, "Do they all have to have eight petals?""Yes, because Annelisse really likes them that way," Jack said which was obviously a lie.He had never even asked the girl about the flowers she liked and he also didn't know what kind of flowers the girl liked because Annelisse had never mentioned it either."Very well, Young Master. I'll look for it right away," George said and he immediately started looking for the flowers that his young master wanted.At first, Jack still stood close to George so that the young man wouldn't get suspicious. But, he slowly moved away until George and the other bodyguards were unaware of Jack's existence who had left the flower shop.Jack quickly looked
Garric did not expect that Jack had a trait that was tough enough to play with words.Actually, he never questioned his distant cousin's intelligence. He was only surprised when Jack was not only intelligent but also had a strong enough stance.However, he had declared to defeat the young man and make him believe in him so he chose to put the matter of the young man's intelligence aside."Alright, I understand." Garric finally chose to relent in order to gain Jack's sympathy.Jack sighed, "So, what do you want to talk to me about now?"Garric was a little offended that he wasn't offered drinks or food before they talked seriously.But when he saw the young man's expression that looked so tense, Garric was even more relieved because it meant that he had succeeded in making Jack doubt his own grandfather even though it was only the initial stage.So, he chose not to question Jack's lack of etiquette."Grandfather Hugh used to have a good relationship with my grandfather but ... Grandfat
Jack just stared flatly at the tape and just touched it when Garric was completely out of his sight."Grandpa, do I have to listen to all this? Is this a sign that I'm starting to really doubt you, Grandpa?" Jack muttered in confusion.The young man knew very well that what he was doing was causing himself to fall into great doubt.Nonetheless, he couldn't back down anymore and finally decided to continue what he was doing which was to start playing the recording given by Garric. "You have to disappear from the Morland family," a voice that Jack was very familiar with rang in his ears very clearly.It was clearly the voice of his beloved grandfather, Hugh Morland."Why, Uncle? Why do I have to get out of the way? Isn't my family still the Morland family?" Harold asked in a confused tone."You're only the second bloodline, I don't want to see you and your family near my core family," Hugh explained in a flat tone.Furthermore, Jack felt even more dizzy when listening to everything sai
Gideon instantly realized that he had made a misstep so he quickly said, "I apologize for my mistake, Young Master Goldman. I did not mean to offend Ms. Goldman at all."However, Eric was already completely offended so he sarcastically retorted, "Never mind, you better get out of here because I don't want to talk about anything regarding my sister. It's my sister's personal business and I don't want to interfere either."Gideon Miles immediately said, "Young Master, I know I have done wrong and offended you. But, I really did not mean to say that. It's because I'm worried about young master Morland's whereabouts."Eric exhaled harshly in exasperation. He did not like this kind of situation.Oh, if he had forgotten that his sister was very fond of Jack and might even wish to have a close relationship with the young man, he would have kicked Gideon Miles out immediately from the moment the man set foot in his residence.In fact, even though he himself had wronged Jack before, he still d
