Chapter 554 - A victim of pretenses

"You came just in time. Come on, dinner is ready. Your dad is already on the table." Madam kelly meets them at the doorstep. She and Chairman John were about to have dinner when she heard Jacob's SUV arrived.

"Get another set of plates for them." She instructed a maid that she saw in the kitchen.

"Were you in Twelve Army Headquarters?" Chairman John asked as soon as he saw J and Jacob sit on his left.

"Yes, Dad," Jacob replied.

"I heard the Senator came." Chairman John said nonchalantly.

J looked at him surprised at how fast the news traveled. She wondered how did her father-in-law found out. Was it reported on the TV or was it published on the internet? She hoped not.

"Yes, she did. She wanted to hire some protection. How did you find out?" Jacob asked which made J thankful because she is curious.

"David reported it to me." Chairman John said. J sighed in relief. David is James's father and is still the assistant of Chairman John Parker. At least it was from him.

"Which Senator are you talking about?" Madam Kelly heard their conversation when she entered the dining room. She is followed by a maid carrying two sets of a plate for J and Jacob.

"Thank you," J said to the maid when she put a plate in front of her.

"We are talking about Senator Rizza, Mom." Jacob knew that he cannot hide anything from Madam Kelly even if he wanted to.

"Oh, did she personally come to you? Normally these high-ranking officials would ask someone from the Twelve Army to come meet them in their office. They think too highly of themselves and act pretentious. They believe that they were such an important person and their time was gold and cannot be wasted."

"I am not surprised that Senator Rizza bothers herself to drive to Twelve Army and personally asked for protection. She is such a humble person. But, I heard that she never takes a bodyguard with her, why did she suddenly ask for protection? Is she receiving any threats?"

"She is such a very good Senator, no wonder she would harbor a lot of enemies." Madam Kelly is obviously a fan of the Senator and this made J looked at her mother-in-law with such pity. If she only knew what kind of woman that Senator is, she would eat all her praises towards the Senator.

Madam Kelly doesn't involve herself much in the Twelve Army and The Robin Hood Society's business, so, she is not aware that his son-in-law is targetting her beloved Senator and will about to expose her dirty personality.

"Mom, don't be fooled by her appearance and pretenses. Not everything that you see is what you should believe in. Some people just show what they wanted you to believe in and hides their true personality."

"You'll be surprised at what kind of monster you are praising," Jacob said wanted to save his mother from being fooled.

Madam Kelly frowned obviously displeased that the popular Senator is being slandered. "Jacob, what do you mean by that?"

"Mark is investigating a bribery scandal and your beloved Senator Paz is involved in it. Mark has worked for it in years so, there is no doubt about that. In just a couple of days, Senator Paz's dirty little business will be exposed in public." Jacob said.

Madam Kelly put her hand in her mouth. She was totally surprised and her son-in-law is working with it so she has no reason to doubt Jacob's every word.

"Oh my God! I didn't know." Madam Kelly still can't believe it.

"No one knows, Mom," J said and that's the truth. Because no one has ever suspected the Senator and she always appears charming and righteous in front of the public.

"And she is also a mistress of another Senator," Jacob added.

Madam Kelly widened her eyes in shock."What?!" Anyone would be surprised because the Senator always acts decently.

"She even tried to seduce him earlier." J cannot help but blabber making Madam Kelly looked at Jacob furiously.

"Jacob Parker! If you ever dare hook up with any other woman I swear to God I will disown you!"

Jacob was speechless, he can't believe that his wife will open this up in front of his parents knowing that they will be on her side. "Mom! Why would I hook up with another woman? I would never do that. You are overthinking things."
