Chapter 520 - Putting J and The Society in Danger

"Oh, God!" Madam Victoria clutched her chest, for a fraction of second, J thought that her mother would have a heart attack but by just merely looking at her, she realized that she is not. Thou she is feeling tensed and angered at the same time.

"Alex Ogden also once visited Jenny at the hospital to tell her that..." Jacob paused for a while and glanced at J who is looking at her parent's reaction. Finding any hint if they knew anything about this promise that Elder Do made to Jack Ogden. But she finds nothing but worry and confusion.

"... she was supposed to be his and he will reclaim what is supposed to be his..." Jacob continued and it makes everyone astounded.

"That's ridiculous!" Miss Nancy expressed her anger.

"Do you know anything about this?" Jacob turned to ask his father-in-law hoping that he does but to his disappointment, President Martin shook his head with a grave expression.

"Father never mentioned anything about this to me, not even about your marriage." President Martin said feeling downcast. His father puts his daughter into this serious and dangerous situation and never even bothers to mention a thing to him. He felt gravely disappointed.

"Did he told you about this?" President Martin asks Miss Nancy since she and her sister were the ones who knew about J's marriage.

Miss Nancy and Miss Eve looked at each other and shook their heads at once. "No, he didn't mention it."

The conference room fell into silent before General George Lee made a note. "I am afraid, Elder Do had put the interest of the Society in danger before, that's why he married Miss J to Chairman Jacob Parker thinking that it will solve everything."

"I am thinking of the same thing." Robert Mayo said while nodding his head. In fact, everyone is thinking the same.

"Father, what have you done..." President Martin said in a low voice that almost only he could hear. He sighed then he closed his eyes as if it would relieve him of all his worries for the Society and his daughter. It was something that J also does to calm her down. Jacob takes note of it.

"Aside from Jack Ogden, maybe Elder Parker knew about it. Have you found him?" Lance's father asked.

Jacob shook his head. "No. I have someone from the Twelve Army tracking him down and, J also has Lance to track him but we haven't had the luck yet."

"If we don't have Elder Parker here, the only option we have is to talk to Jack Ogden and find out what Elder Do promised him. Thou it is obvious that it is to marry Miss J to Alex Ogden but for what reason. What made Elder Do make such promise knowing that it will put the Society in the hands of danger? What do you think?" Lance's father asks looking at everyone.

Everyone nodded their heads.

"I'll talk to him." Jacob volunteered although he knows that President Martin wants it to be him, they cannot expose him. Not only Jack Ogden is finding out who the current leader of the Society is. And President Martin was supposed to be already dead. Aside from Jacob and J, the identity of the members of the Society remained confidential. So everyone agreed.

"But, are you sure that Alex Ogden will not hurt Miss J?" Miss Eve asked with concern.

"Yes." Jacob nodded his head. "He has met with Jenny twice and during those times, he never brought anyone from Novus Rex."

"Nonetheless, we still have to be cautious of him. Even if he doesn't harm or force J, one way or another, he would think of a way to get her." Lance said.

It was probably the longest meeting that the council has ever had. Everyone has left except for J, Jacob, President Martin, and Madam Victoria. J felt drained and exhausted while President Martin looked grave. Madam Victoria is on the verge of crying and Jacob felt guilty because he knew that breaking that information to them made them feel this thou he knew that he should.
