Holding it up Jack said, "What exactly made he so sure that he would be killed that night?"Alex Blake sighed and the man could only answer, "Hugh Morland was the most sensitive and knowing man around. He understands people so easily but he always tries to hide what he knows.""Sometimes he chooses to pretend that he doesn't know anything and continues to behave as he always has despite the fact that he knows people's intentions towards him. And today was like that too. Hugh has known from the beginning of that jerk's intentions but he just kept quiet," Alex said in a tone that sounded both sad and angry. Jack couldn't tell if Alex was angry at his grandfather or the perpetrator. "He ... could have been convinced maybe because he saw the guy's increasingly suspicious movements or even he could have heard something that finally made him decide to make this recording." Alex continued as he pointed at the tape that Jack Morland was holding.Jack swallowed with great difficulty and he l

Of course, their son's request took Harold and Jean completely by surprise. The two parents had never expected that their son would ask such a question. As a surprised reaction from both of them, the two of them immediately looked at each other as if they didn't know how to respond to their son's words.Garric could also see how both parents were shocked by what he said but he chose to remain silent and wait for the answer from his parents. Harold let out a long sigh and then said, "Why do you want to help him, Garric? Don't you dislike him because he is too proud and arrogant?""Son, what's your reason for helping him?" Jean asked in a tone that sounded very surprised. Garric answered his father's question first, "Dad, I don't hate him at all. I just don't like his personality but that doesn't mean I like seeing him destroyed."He then turned to his mother and said again, "Mum, he's a member of the Morland family after all and there's no way we can let him face his problems alone.

With a regretful expression, one of the senior bodyguards loyal to Jack Morland, Damian, finally replied, "Young Master, I apologise that we cannot know for sure."He paused for a moment and seemed to be choosing the right words so that the young master would not be discouraged. However, Ralph then quickly added, "We can't be sure because we haven't checked the Morland family home either, Young Master. But ... You don't need to worry too much because I'm sure there are still many guards who are loyal to you."George immediately turned to his young master whose face had changed to a rather sad look. Alex Blake also felt that Jack looked devastated but the man was trying hard to hide his immense disappointment. Jack nodded his head and then replied, "Well, it doesn't matter if they are no longer loyal to me. I ... still have people who are loyal to me like you guys. That's enough for me and I don't need people who only stick by my side because they want something."Damian could sense

Edward then answered very heavily, "To be honest, our position is very complicated."That man really thought hard to find the best way to get out from the situation but i'm fortunately he couldn't find it.Edward had not yet continued his explanation but Jose seemed to have guessed what his best friend was going to say. He then added, "We are Jack's best friends and people must think that we have a very good relationship with him. Maybe they also think we know where Jack is.""No, that's not what I meant." Edward denied Jose's words. He thought that his friend didn't understand what he said and he was very annoyed wiith that."Then what do you mean our position is very difficult?" Jose asked with astonishment. "Right now there is no Jack in the company and no one to defend us. Even if we're loyal to Jack, there's no guarantee that he'll come and rescue us soon. So, the safest way to stay here for the time being is ... we pretend to be Gideon Miles' side," Edward explained with an u

Gideon Miles responded with a joke and said, "Young Master Garric, I didn't expect you to be able to make a joke out of it."The man continued to laugh as if he was currently joking with Garric.However, Garric was not one to waste his time so he asked, "Gideon, I'm not joking at all and I don't have time for that sort of thing."Gideon's laughter immediately stopped and he could no longer make a sound because suddenly Garric looked at him sharply without the slightest smile. "Young Master, I am ....""I'm not a fool you can lie to and trick, Gideon. So, let's just get on with what we need to talk about in the first place."Gideon was silent but the man looked so very alert especially when he knew that the young man was looking at him with a very serious gaze. "What have you done with Jack Morland and where is he now?" Garric asked the man by looking at him straight to let the middle-aged man know that he was not joking. "What are you talking about? I don't understand what you're a
