Chapter 385 - Calling for back up

"James, find out Alex Ogden's schedule for today," Jacob said after contemplating. He was in his office on the 10th floor of CLP Hospital. He was just done with his morning rounds with his patients and James used to be following him around.

"Are you planning to pay him a visit?" James inquired.

"Yes, not that I want to. But Jenny keeps on insisting. I don't want her to keep on worrying about this. I hope Alex Ogden is a bit sensible than his grandfather."

"Ok. I got it."

After just ten minutes, James returned with Alex Ogden's schedule on his hands. "Alex Ogden's schedule is quite full today but he still got time to visit Rendezvous at the end of the day."

"Thank you, James, you are as efficient as ever." Jacob smiled at James efficiency.

James chuckled. "Do you want me to call an agent or two for back up?"

"No need. I have someone in mind."

"Okay then, if you don't have anything else, I still got something to do," James said meaningfully.

"Go on then. I won't trouble you." Jacob knew what James means, after all, he was the one who was giving him this job. Aside from being the Executive Assistant of Jacob at CLP Group of Hospital, he is also his assistant at Twelve Army. But his job doesn't end there, because there were side jobs that Jacob needed to do and he needs James with that as well. And that includes finding out everything about Novus Rex and Alex Ogden.

When James left Jacob's office, he made a call to President Martin.

"Jacob, I heard that Jenny has met with Alex Ogden." President Martin said.

Jacob was no surprise, he knows that President Martin and Madam Victoria have eyes around Jenny that's why they knew what's happening around her.

"Yes, he did. And although she didn't show it to him, my wife was really affected by his words. She wanted to talk to him and hope to resolve this in an amicable way. But I rejected the idea of her talking to him. That was just not feasible. So, I decided to talk to him."

President Martin laughed sarcastically. "That brute is too shameless. Reclaiming what's not his? He is too covetous just like his grandfather. My daughter is too magnanimous. She doesn't want a bloodbath to ever take place because of her. Probably not wanting to implicate harm towards the people around her."

"You are right. And although I am easygoing, I am also mean-spirited when her welfare is at risk. But she asked for peaceful negotiation and I don't have the heart to refuse her. Although, I doubt if this will work." Jacob sounds dubious.

"I understand. Do you need any help?" President Martin understands that Jacob didn't call him just to talk about what happened. There must be something and he already had an idea. He heard Jacob sighed.

"I am about to meet Alex Ogden tonight without him knowing. And you know that we were just starting to learn about him and Novus Rex. What I am trying to say is, I want someone from your side that is very familiar with Alex Ogden to come with me and James tonight."

"I got it. I'll send someone to you tonight." Then the two of them dropped the call.

...

Later that afternoon after duty, J is sitting in a lounge chair by the poolside of Evergreen villa. She just came home after her duty at the hospital. Felix and Stefan were playing board games.

Arthur approached J and said, "We got what you've asked of me."

Hearing that J closed the book she was reading and straighten her back. She put down both her feet on the ground and face Arthur. Felix and Stefan also heard him and stopped what they were playing and walk towards them. Soon, Daniel joined them as well.
