Chapter 585 - A Chamber is Prepared

Before the night fell, J and Jacob arrived at the Parkers Mansion. Although Arthur has been with them he has kept his watch on everything that is going on around them including Novus Rex's activity particularly that of Alex Ogden's.

As soon as J stepped out of her sports car, Arthur approached her. "Miss, Alex Ogden sent something for you yesterday."

J looked at him with curiosity then to Jacob who has heard what Arthur said.

"Where is it?" She asked.

"I've kept it for the meantime." He said looking at J then he looked at Jacob. "I already checked it, it is nothing suspicious or threatening. It's just a normal... gift."

A smirk appeared on Jacob's lips. "He's not wasting a chance." He mumbled to himself.

"And earlier..." Arthur continued. It seems like he was not done reporting yet. "Senator Rizza met with Alex Ogden."

This time, Jacob's expression turned dark and J noticed it. She could tell what he is thinking, in fact, she is thinking the same.

"Thank you, Arthur," J said.

"Stay with her," Jacob said then pulled out his phone. "James, call Jeric. I'll meet him now." He didn't wait for James's reply before he hangs up.

He grabs J's hand and pulled her inside the mansion.

"You'll meet him tonight?" She asked while watching Jacob walked in the closet.

"Yes." He replied. He was already inside the closet but J could still hear him. "And don't insist on coming because I will not allow you." He added as soon as he walked out of the closet. He already changed into a casual white shirt dress.

J jutted out her lower lip and rolled her eyes. She is currently sitting on the bed watching Jacob button up his shirt. She stood up and help him. Jacob's expression softens as he let her finish what he was doing.

"I wouldn't dare insist." She said while her focus is on the buttons of his shirt.

As soon as she was done, she put her hands on his chest and looked up to him.

"Do you think Senator Rizza is stirring up trouble that is why Alex wants to meet you?"

Jacob sighed and stroke her smooth black hair while his other hand snaked around her waist pulling her closer to his body.

"She better be not," Jacob replied. He was thinking the same but he hopes that they were wrong because if that is really the case, he already has a chamber prepared for that Senator.

He wrapped both his arms around her and pulled her in a tight embrace before he left the mansion.

J had dinner with Chairman John and Madam Kelly. The latter asked where Jacob is but it was Chairman John who replied saying that there was an urgent situation at Twelve Army that needs Jacob's presence.

She looked at Chairman John wondering why he would lie to Madam Kelly but she was the one who answered her thoughts in the end. Knowing Madam Kelly, she would probably worry too much which Chairman John deemed unnecessary.

Chairman John trusts Jacob's capabilities although Madam Kelly did the same that doesn't mean she would be always at ease whenever Jacob is in a situation that she believed to be dangerous. She is a mother after all.

A mother is always a mother, she will continue to worry about her child even if they grow up to be the most capable person in the world.

The moment that Madam Kelly stood up and went to the kitchen to get the dessert, Chairman John and J were left in the dining room.

"Don't worry about him. It's just Alex Ogden." Chairman John said to her thought his focus is on his food.
