Chapter 280 - The Council Meeting (1)

"This is the first time for some of you to meet my daughter, Jenny Do." When J heard her name, she stood up and bowed at the council members as a curtsy without saying anything. Her gesture showed reverence towards the council member yet she still managed to emit that majestic aura.

"And this is my son-in-law Dr. Jacob Parker." The way President Martin introduce Jacob made everyone looked at each other with a raised brow.

Jacob stood up and said. "Good afternoon. I'm Jacob Parker." Then he bowed his head to everyone.

The council members looked at Jacob then to President Martin. Their conjectures were right.

President Martin sits up and leaned his back. His elbows rested on the armrest of his chair while his hands were clasped together near his chest.

"Last night at the foundation gala of CLP Hospital, Chairman John Parker made an announcement that probably shocked everyone of you. It was about the marriage of his son, Dr. Jacob Parker and my daughter Jenny Do. The news spread overnight and I called you here to confirm it. This meeting is open for everyone's question. You may start now." Every time that the Robin Hood Society is having a meeting, President Martin encourages everyone to voice out their opinions, objections and suggestions. He makes sure that everyone engages in the dialogue and this meeting is no different.

As a rule, anyone who wishes to speak will raise their hands before they start talking. If in case there are two or more people raised their hands at once, President Martin will choose who to speak the first. This time, almost everyone raised their hands.

President Martin gestured a 50-year old gentle looking woman with a brown shoulder length hair that is slightly parted to the side to speak first. Her face is long with a slightly pointed chin but doesn't seem to be unpleasant to the eye. She is Professor Iris Parham, the head of the computer laboratory and also a Dean of College of Engineering and Computer Science in Lotus City University.

"President Martin, is it true that they were married for five years?" Professor Iris asked what is probably what most of the council member wanted to ask.

"Yes."

"Then why is it brought up just now?" Everyone nodded their head when the heard Professor Iris' follow up question.

President Martin didn't answer her question instead he looked at Jacob. Jacob instantly understands and cleared his throat to answer the question. Everyone's attention diverted to him.

"We are indeed married of five years now, but I only just found about it a couple of months ago. While Jenny on the other hand knew about it since Elder Do died but didn't believe it because of lack of proof." Jacob said in a firm voice.

"Miss J." Professor Iris wanted to ask J but hesitated because it was the first time that she is going to talk to her and her aura is similar to that of Madam Victoria, they were quite intimidating.

"Go on." J said nonchalantly. She didn't intend to sound daunted but she did.

Professor Iris was taken aback. She is a professor but she felt inferior to this young lady that is looking at her. She wanted to hold back but the young lady is looking at her with anticipation.

"Uhm... How did you find out about your marriage with Dr. Jacob?" Professor Iris finally finds her voice.

"Grandfather told me. I didn't believe him because he was dying and he didn't tell me who the guy is." J said indifferently.
