Chapter 236 - They wanted to marry his wife

"Those letters were not threat at all. They were bait. They knew that Lance is going around the business circle in behalf of the Robin Hood Society. Somehow, they thought that Lance is representing the Society's leader. They wanted to lure him out." Jacob said staring blankly on the other side of the glass.

Arthur heard from his earpiece what Jacob said. He thought the same way too. He didn't need to ask what position Oliver is referring to. Obviously, they wanted to take over the Robin Hood Society. The question is, how?

"How to you plan to take their position?" Arthur asked directly.

Oliver didn't hesitate to answer. "By marriage."

Jacob who was composed the whole time while listening to Arthur and Oliver lost his cool this time. "What the?! What marriage is he talking about?! They want marriage with death? Then I'll give it to them!" Upon hearing the word marriage, he was certain that they mean to get married to J in order to take over the Society since J is next in line to the position.

"Does it mean... It was Alex Ogden?" Lance was surprised.

"No. It's not him." Lance heard J's voice so he looked at her. "Remember the email? The IP address is located abroad. The same country where Jack Ogden is."

"So, it was Jack Ogden." Lance said rubbing his chin with his fingers.

"Jack Ogden is an old friend of my grandfather and Elder Do. But they lost communication with him since he founded Novus Rex." Jacob interrupted.

J furrowed her brows. "How did you know about it?"

"President Martin told me. Did you know about it?"

"No." J shake her head.

"Now that I thought about it. I knew that Elder Do was hesitant for J to take over the Society once President Martin retires. In fact, he was against it. So, I guessed, that is also one reason why Elder Do marry Miss J to Jacob. He wanted Miss J's husband to take over as President. And he chose Jacob. Jack Ogden must've known about it, so, he wanted to use this opportunity. He wanted his grandson, Alex Ogden, to marry Miss J so that Novus Rex can take control the Society!" Lance said in a tone like he discovered an immeasurable treasure.

"But... they didn't know that Jenny is already married to me. Elder Do chose me... which was a good decision." Jacob said with a wide grin.

"Yeah! Yeah! You are right Dr. Jacob." Lance heaved a sigh of relief. That's right, J is already married to him, so, there is nothing they can do about it.

But...

"They're here. Aren't they?" They heard Oliver speak again. "The person you are protecting. The person Atty. Lance Kho is protecting. They are here, right? Watching and listening to us." Oliver gave an evil look to the wall. Behind that wall, J received his evil look with a smirk.

"Let's get it straight. Since you are here, I would like to directly pass on the message of my Boss to you personally." Oliver paused.

"Jack Ogden is coming. He will use every possible way to get his hands on the heiress of The Robin Hood Society and have her marry his grandson Alex Ogden. Once that happened, we will take over The Robin Hood Society." after he said that, there was chilling atmosphere in both rooms.

Jacob clenched his fist and said, "Lock him up in the chamber." Because of the presence of Lance and Jenny, Jacob intentionally missed the word 'torture' when he said chamber.
