Chapter 53 - To Support

"How can I be sure that Jacob and your family will protect her?" President Martin was in doubt.

Chairman John confidently said, "I trust my son and I will not break my father's word."

President Martin smirk and said, "Your son is a known playboy. You got my bottom line, right? You also have a daughter."

"I know, but I've seen how Jacob treats and protects your daughter. He's never done that in any woman before except her. He even insists on moving in your daughter's apartment even thou your daughter rejects it. Knowing my son, he will never force himself to her if she doesn't want to unless he is seriously considering her." Chairman John defended his son.

President Martin was silent for a while. "Let's keep this information from the kids for now."

Chairman John nodded in agreement.

President Martin fell silent again, he's in deep thought. Then Chairman John noticed that he chuckled as if he finally realized something.

"Did you know that your agency is one of our beneficiaries?" President Martin smirk.

"What beneficiary?" Chairman John was confused.

"Five years ago, your agency is added to our list of beneficiaries. That's probably your father's condition. Financial support."

Chairman John was dumbfounded. Why would his father ask for financial support? The company is doing better financially speaking over the past few years. But then, his brows furrowed as he remembers something. A few years ago, before his father went nomadic, he talks about expanding their business abroad. He rejected the idea because he knows that it will cost them a lot of money. But his father said that he can take care of that money, while Jacob will take care of the expansion. After he went nomadic, he forgot about that thinking that his father gave up the idea.

It turns out that he had already taken care of that after all.

As soon as Chairman John arrived home he was met by his wife. Madam Kelly noticed a satisfied look at her husband. It's as if a great burden was lifted from his shoulder. She can't wait to know the outcome of her husband's visit to President Martin.

"Hon, how did it go? What did he say to you?" Madam Kelly asked him impatiently.

Chairman John cautiously didn't speak up until they were alone in their room. Then he told everything that he and President Martin uncovered to Madam Kelly.

She was flabbergasted at first. The girl she mocked a couple of days ago and she accused of sleeping with a married man turns out to be an heiress after all. And not just an ordinary heiress. She is the heiress of The Robin Hood Society.

The Robin Hood Society is a group of elites and professionals that secretly steals money or goods from informal business sector mostly in the black market, corrupt government officials and elites that operate illegally. Secretly because their operations came unnoticed until it is done. Usually, it would take a week or months before their target perceived it. And occasionally there are instances that their target wouldn't notice it at all. They used professional hackers, spies, field agents, strategist, mechanics, electronics and surveillance experts, con artists and sometimes gunman and explosive experts to accomplish their heist but they never used them to inflict harm or hurt their targets.
