Chapter 281 - The Council Meeting (2)

"I'm confused, Miss J knew she was married but didn't know to whom, while Dr. Jacob just find out about the marriage a couple of months ago. So, how did you two, found out the you were married to each other?" an average looking plump man seemed too have forgotten that he was talking to the heiress of the Society and the Chairman of Twelve Army. He is Robert Mayo, the Director of the Society's Human Resources Management. His main job is recruitment, human resources information system and training.

Upon hearing the man's comment, J's face turned sour. She felt that this guy is doubting their judgement. She looked at him with a grim expression, without words spoken. Robert Mayo seemed to realized what he did, he cowered in fear.

J felt her hand that was under the table was squeezed by Jacob's hand. She looked at him but Jacob's face was looking at the council with pleasantness. Then she heard him speak.

"I'm sorry, but we seemed to have made you misunderstand and confused. Let me summarize every event in details." Jacob said with a smile plastered in his face.

"Five years ago, my grandfather left an envelope addressed to me at my home office before he went nomadic. During those times, I was about to leave the country to work overseas so I wasn't able to open the envelope which my grandfather seemed to never mind. A couple of months ago, I came back and found the envelope. When I opened it, I found out that it was a marriage contract. My marriage contract. It says that I was married to a person named Jenny Do five years ago, a couple of weeks before I left the country. The witnesses were my grandfather and Jenny's grandfather. On the other hand, five years ago, when Elder Do was dying, he told Jenny that he married her to some guy which Jenny didn't believe because first, Elder Do was dying so she thought that he is having a delusion, second, there is no marriage contract and third, Elder Do didn't give her a name."

"The first thing I did was to find her." Jacob skipped the part that he prepared and planned to divorce her once he found her. "But, surprisingly, I cannot find her name anywhere. That made me suspicious about her identity until one day while performing a surgery with Dr. Gonzales, with Jenny as the assistant nurse, whom I only know by the name Nurse J, I heard one of the nurses said that her real name is Jenny Do. And the rest is history."

When Jacob finished, everyone was silent for a minute. It was Dr. Gonzales who breaks the silence. "Mark, did you know about this?" he knew that Mark Sloane is Jacob's brother-in-law.

"Yes, a couple of months ago when Jacob introduced Miss J to the whole family." Mark Sloane replied with an unreserved tone.

"President Martin, are you sure that this marriage is authentic and their signatory were not forged?"

"Yes."

"But you didn't know that you signed it?" Dr. Gonzales looked at Dr. Jacob then to J.

"No." Jacob replied.

Every one became confused. "How did that happened?"

Jacob shrugged his shoulder. "That is a mystery that only the Elders can answer."

After a while, a dignified looking man wearing an official military uniform speaks. He is General George Lee. Base on his uniform, any one can tell that he is a high ranking official in the military.

"This seems to be an arrange marriage by Elder Do and Elder Parker. President Martin, do you think the two elders wanted to coalesce the Twelve Army and the Robin Hood Society?"

Upon hearing that, James, Jacob and J was startled. Is that really possible? Is it necessary? J and Jacob looked at the direction of President Martin anticipating his reply.
