Jack was really irritated by the laughter and now he was even preparing to punch Garric in the face.However, he suddenly restrained himself from smashing the young man's face.It was also immediately noticed by Garric, "Why didn't you do it? Have you never hit anyone before? Or do you really not know how to hit people?"Garric shook his head. He didn't know too much about his distant cousin but what he did know in recent times was that Jack Morland had become one of the most talked about young men in his town.Ocean Hill was not a very small town but it could easily spread like wildfire. The news of a young heir who was favored by his grandfather and protected in such a way was no secret.Jack Morland was so famous everywhere that even he knew that after he announced to the world that he was the sole heir of the Morland family, Jack had become a celebrity who was talked about everywhere.Almost everyone knew about him and knew at least a few things about the young heir who was also th
Garric could no longer contain his anger.He raised his hand and punched Jack in the face.But, unfortunately his punch was blocked by Jack very easily and even the young man gripped Garric's hand so strongly that the man could not move freely.Of course Garric was very surprised by his distant cousin's actions."You ... what are you doing?" Garric said with a strong anger.If it was someone else, he would have been very afraid to face the angry Garric.The man looked more like an angry lion than an ordinary human being.Garric looked so scary but the young man was not too scary for Jack.In fact, he felt that Garric was not as strong as he imagined. He had a weak side that he tried hard to hide.Unfortunately Garric didn't manage to hide that from Jack. "Let go of me, damn it!" Garric shouted in a huff.The man really just wanted to rid himself of Jack.Jack casually replied, "I don't have a strong grip on you. Why can't you free yourself?"Jack grinned widely and now felt he had wo
George Cleve was so stunned that he slammed the steering wheel to the right so that he could neutralize his rapidly beating heart from shock."You ... how do you know about this, Young Master?" George asked with a shocked look as he turned to his young master who was staring at him with a flat stare.Jack sighed, "George, you underestimate me too much."George almost fell over when he heard that.He then said, "Young Master, this is not what you imagined.""Well, I have been living in ordinary circles. But that doesn't mean I don't know about this bugging device you put on my back. Oh my! I'm so young and I should know about things like this," Jack said after he removed the device and smashed it in annoyance.In the past, he didn't mind when his watch and even his cell phone were bugged and also fitted with tracking devices.He realized it was a form of protection from his family and he was actually very grateful for thinking about it.However, this was not the case. He had made it cl
Annelisse, who seemed to have expected her brother to ask such a question, immediately raised her face and looked at Eric with a challenging gaze."Eric, my engagement with him is just a matter of time. Then, what about you? You should already be married. But what's happening now? You don't even have a girlfriend and now you're telling me to get engaged?" Annelisse asked.Eric chuckled when asked back like that. "Hey, we were talking about your relationship, about my love affairs. Why are you bringing it up now?"Annelisse shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly, "Oh, of course we have to talk about it because mom and dad really want you to get married. So, instead of you talking about my relationship with Jack which is now clear and it's just a matter of time before it's official, let's talk about your own relationship."Eric snorted and immediately got up and stuck out his tongue like a typical child when he wouldn't obey the orders of his parents."I'm not in the mood to discuss it and
Garric suddenly realized that even if he exploded in anger right now, he probably wouldn't get anything. He already knew his parents too well and he wasn't sure if his parents would actually listen to him.He had lived from childhood with his parents educating him in that way so this time he tried to hold himself back from letting loose even though he was already too tired.However, he still hadn't found a way to get out of that vicious circle so inevitably the young man ended up trying to keep his head down to his parents to stay in his comfort zone.Garric raised his head slowly and replied, "Jack is not a snot-nosed boy like you said, Father. He is very cunning and he seems to know my weaknesses. But, Dad. Mom, you two don't need to worry because I won't give up so easily.""This is just the first step and this failure doesn't mean we will lose the next step. Mom, you know me very well and you know that I am not one to give my enemies what they want," Garric explained the matter a
"Yes, Grandpa. Whatever you want I will do," Jack said in such a gentle tone that his grandfather smiled back. The two then chatted for a while before they finally returned to their respective rooms and rested their bodies. However, that was not the case for Gideon Miles who was currently awaiting the arrival of George, Jack Morland's personal bodyguard who had just returned from his duties of checking the surrounding area. "George, how are things around this house?" Gideon asked when the young man had entered his private room. George quickly replied, "I found no signs of movement from Mr. Garric's family guards, sir. It seems that they have completely retreated and are not watching the area around this house."Gideon nodded his head and looked relieved but he then said, "You should tighten things up even more. Don't let the young master be alone or even if he wants to be alone you should keep a guard not too far away from him.""Yes, sir."Gideon asked again, "Is it true that onl
However, it was unexpected. George wasn't scared or distressed by the words of his coworker who had worked for the Morland family.Instead, George laughed out loud as if laughing at Damian's words.Damian glared in exasperation and with the overwhelming anger he felt he said, "You dare laugh at me? Are you really tired of living?"George stopped laughing and now glared back at his senior. "I have to stay alive because it's to repay all that Mr. Hugh has done for me. And ... earlier you said that you seemed to have the power to get rid of me. If I may ask you, who are you and do you have the right to throw me out of this house when the owner of this house entrusted me with such a great thing?"Damian gritted his teeth as he could no longer contain his anger. Without another word, Demian punched George right on his lower lip, causing an injury. George once again laughed until Damian could no longer contain his annoyance anymore and then he attacked his junior again with a little bruta
Feeling misspoken, Damian did not reply to his friend's words. Ralph shook his head in disbelief at Damian's words. "I didn't realize that's what you've been thinking about me all this time."Not wanting to talk to his friend anymore, Ralph moved backwards and then before he decided to leave the park, he took the time to say, "You have too much hatred for people who have much better success than you.""But ... trust me, Damian. It will only make you more unable to use or develop those abilities of yours. You'll only think about other people's abilities that you shouldn't have to."Ralph paused for a moment before continuing, "However, if that is the path you choose, then go ahead and follow your emotions and be prepared if one day you will regret all your actions including when you accuse those around you of getting what they want not because of their abilities."After saying that, Ralph left the area and left Damian alone to think. Unfortunately, Ralph's words did not succeed in ma
