Jack stared at the hand of the person who claimed to be his distant cousin with a puzzled look. However, he thought that if the distant cousin had bad intentions toward him, he would easily find out. He could not be easily fooled by people.

So he shook his cousin's hand and said, "Jack."

Garric nodded and smiled, "I saw you on the news."

"Hm. Then what is your purpose in coming to see me and what do you want from me?" Jack asked immediately because he didn't want to waste any time.

Garric sighed softly, "I told you so many things, but I know you might not believe me. But ... I really have no other choice than to come to you."

"What exactly do you mean?" Jack asked with a furrowed brow.

"Jack, everything in your eyes doesn't necessarily match what's really going on. You're ... new to the Morland family. So I'm sure you don't know much about our family," Garric said in a tone that sounded serious and earnest.

Jack became more and more confused and Garric made the best of it, knowing tha

    However, Jack could not think about it any further because he had to face his meeting with his grandfather again.That night, Jack decided not to confront his grandfather about Garric. He decided to keep the problem to himself and try to solve it in his own way.In fact, he had already planned to meet Garric. Then, he also decided not to tell his two friends and George, even though the man knew that George would be close to him wherever he went.However, he had thought of the best way to make his plan work.Unfortunately, one morning he couldn't stop himself from asking his grandfather."Grandpa, can I ask you something?" Jack asked as he cut his meat that morning.Hugh raised his eyebrows in surprise at his grandson's question, "You can ask me anything and why do you have to ask permission?"Jack chuckled softly and replied, "Oh, Grandpa. It's so early and I don't want to spoil the nice atmosphere just because of my question."Hugh became even more curious, "What did you want to ask

    Since he still wanted to keep the matter to himself, Jack replied, "No, Grandpa. I've never met any strangers or suspicious people."Of course Jack couldn't be said to have lied to his grandfather.The young man had met Garric who was still a member of the Morland family. Of course the young man was no stranger as he knew him despite meeting him for the first time.Hugh visibly nodded in relief at the grandson's explanation.The old man then said once more, "Then be careful, I don't want you to experience anything bad.""Take it easy, George will always take care of me so you can relax and focus on your health, Grandpa. I don't want your health to suffer just because you're thinking about me," Jack said in a solemn tone.Although he did suspect something that his grandfather had been hiding, Jack loved him and was always thinking about his health.After all, Hugh was the only person who had a direct relationship with him and he didn't want the old man to think about bad things not to

    When George took the young master to the flower shop, Jack quickly racked his brains to get away from his personal bodyguard."George, find me a yellow rose that has at least eight petals," Jack ordered the man who was taken aback by what he thought was a strange task.George, who looked thoughtful, then asked, "Do they all have to have eight petals?""Yes, because Annelisse really likes them that way," Jack said which was obviously a lie.He had never even asked the girl about the flowers she liked and he also didn't know what kind of flowers the girl liked because Annelisse had never mentioned it either."Very well, Young Master. I'll look for it right away," George said and he immediately started looking for the flowers that his young master wanted.At first, Jack still stood close to George so that the young man wouldn't get suspicious. But, he slowly moved away until George and the other bodyguards were unaware of Jack's existence who had left the flower shop.Jack quickly looked

    Garric did not expect that Jack had a trait that was tough enough to play with words.Actually, he never questioned his distant cousin's intelligence. He was only surprised when Jack was not only intelligent but also had a strong enough stance.However, he had declared to defeat the young man and make him believe in him so he chose to put the matter of the young man's intelligence aside."Alright, I understand." Garric finally chose to relent in order to gain Jack's sympathy.Jack sighed, "So, what do you want to talk to me about now?"Garric was a little offended that he wasn't offered drinks or food before they talked seriously.But when he saw the young man's expression that looked so tense, Garric was even more relieved because it meant that he had succeeded in making Jack doubt his own grandfather even though it was only the initial stage.So, he chose not to question Jack's lack of etiquette."Grandfather Hugh used to have a good relationship with my grandfather but ...

    Jack just stared flatly at the tape and just touched it when Garric was completely out of his sight."Grandpa, do I have to listen to all this? Is this a sign that I'm starting to really doubt you, Grandpa?" Jack muttered in confusion.The young man knew very well that what he was doing was causing himself to fall into great doubt.Nonetheless, he couldn't back down anymore and finally decided to continue what he was doing which was to start playing the recording given by Garric. "You have to disappear from the Morland family," a voice that Jack was very familiar with rang in his ears very clearly.It was clearly the voice of his beloved grandfather, Hugh Morland."Why, Uncle? Why do I have to get out of the way? Isn't my family still the Morland family?" Harold asked in a confused tone."You're only the second bloodline, I don't want to see you and your family near my core family," Hugh explained in a flat tone.Furthermore, Jack felt even more dizzy when listening to everything sai

    Gideon instantly realized that he had made a misstep so he quickly said, "I apologize for my mistake, Young Master Goldman. I did not mean to offend Ms. Goldman at all."However, Eric was already completely offended so he sarcastically retorted, "Never mind, you better get out of here because I don't want to talk about anything regarding my sister. It's my sister's personal business and I don't want to interfere either."Gideon Miles immediately said, "Young Master, I know I have done wrong and offended you. But, I really did not mean to say that. It's because I'm worried about young master Morland's whereabouts."Eric exhaled harshly in exasperation. He did not like this kind of situation.Oh, if he had forgotten that his sister was very fond of Jack and might even wish to have a close relationship with the young man, he would have kicked Gideon Miles out immediately from the moment the man set foot in his residence.In fact, even though he himself had wronged Jack before, he still d

    "You really didn't tell Gideon about this? Oh, it's only fitting that I didn't see some of the bodyguards who were supposed to be guarding you. George isn't even here either," Annelisse said.Jack sighed and replied to the beautiful girl, "I didn't tell them.""Why, Jack?" Annelisse asked in a surprised tone and at the same time the girl disconnected the call.Eric heard those words and Gideon who was also listening said, "Young Master Goldman, I thank you for your time. Then, I would like to take my leave to go to Luxen Restaurant."Eric only gave a small nod as he himself also did not know how he should respond properly.He was just a little confused by his sister's words but he chose not to think about it first and would ask his sister when his sister was at home.Gideon Miles immediately contacted his young master's personal bodyguard and asked him to head to the same restaurant as himself.Although he was quite surprised by Jack Morland's decision to go to that place without a gu

    Jack seemed to understand that the girl he liked was currently not on the same page as him so he simply said, "Yes, I'll try to tell grandfather about this."Annelisse felt that he was changing his mind too quickly and she didn't trust him.However, Annelisse couldn't possibly confront the young man directly because it might make Jack cover everything up even more so she just nodded, "Alright, then what should I do now?"Jack gave the girl a sweet smile, "Stay here, enjoy yourself and wait for Gideon to arrive."Annelisse understood the meaning of the handsome young man's words, "Hm, I see. Wow, I didn't expect that I'd have to act."Jack looked at the girl with a straight face so Annelise quickly replied, "Hey, I don't have to. Don't worry! It's just that I didn't expect that I'd have to do something like this. If I knew I had to do the fruit of lies then I would have taken an acting class to support what I'm doing."Jack laughed at the girl's joke. Annelisse might not be good at mak

    However, in reality Jack Morland let Eric Goldman into Alex Blake's house.He also ordered his personal bodyguard to arrange that no CCTV cameras would capture Eric's movements.As soon as Eric entered the secret area, he immediately conveyed his sister's anxiety.The young man also said his idea and it was very well received by Jack Morland."Jack, I know it might be very dangerous but it would be much better if you showed up in the near future at the signing of a major collaboration that Gideon Miles will soon be doing," Eric said.Alex quickly responded, "I'd like that too since we have absolutely no idea what's really in Gideon Miles' brain."Jack Morland seemed to be in serious thought but after he deliberated he finally decided to say, "Well, I guess I can't wait any longer to punish the man who dared to kill my grandfather."Eric nodded with relief and responded, "My family is ready to help you fully and never doubt us if you need other help."Jack nodded and then said quietly,

    Eric was eager to find the car but when he remembered that he had something much more important to do, he chose to let the car go.He then ordered, "Well, we'd better go straight to lawyer Jack Morland's house."Ray and Denis quickly followed suit and carried out their young master's orders. Just a few minutes later they arrived at a house that appeared to have been left unguarded by bodyguards. Ray looked at the house suspiciously while Denis, who already knew that people were hiding in a room, immediately asked the young master, "Young Master, what should we do now?"Eric remembered his brother's message and immediately waited until the sun had set. "Are you sure we should wait here until it gets dark, Young Master?" Ray asked very cautiously. "Yes, we have to be more careful because if we make a mistake we might not be able to find them. And ... what's even worse is that we could let Gideon Miles know where they're hiding," Eric explained and it was understood by his two bodygu

    However, before they had a chance to discuss the matter further they were surprised by the arrival of the two main bodyguards whose duty it was to always guard Gideon Miles wherever he was.They of course chose to immediately shut their mouths so as not to make the bodyguards suspicious. One of them looked suspiciously at the servants and other bodyguards who had suddenly fallen silent. "Hey, what's going on here? Why are you all acting weird?" Sean, the 30-something year old bodyguard asked. One of the brave servants replied, "Nothing important is going on here, sir. It's just that we were surprised by the arrival of the two main bodyguards of Mr. Miles.""Didn't you two accompany Mr. Miles all the way down to this floor?" the waiter asked trying to remain calm. Sean snorted and then he waved his hand, "Never mind, it's because we were resting for a while before we escorted Mr. Miles to go check on something."Of course it actually made the bodyguards and servants curious especia

    "That is indeed the case, Mr. Miles. Young Master Garric didn't look angry at all," the gatekeeper explained of the Morland house once again. He didn't hide anything and explain it clearly in order to make Gideon understand the situation. He tried to not to make Gideon feel that he didn't do his job. Gideon still had a hard time believing that but when he asked one of the guards to show him the CCTV footage at the main gate, the man finally believed it. It was so clear in the CCTV footage that Garric Morland did not even get out of the car. Garric was only in his car and asked his driver to meet the gate guard to ask for permission to enter. That only lasted for a few minutes so Gideon was even more astonished by the change that was so obvious to his eyes. After the guards left his room, Gideon thought more seriously. "What really happened to that young man? Does he really not want the Morland family fortune anymore? But, how could that be? He's not a young man who

    Annelisse Goldman thought for a moment but when she considered her elder brother's idea, she finally tried to accept it. She hoped what she decided wouldn't make her regrets anything."Then, how are you going to get there?" Annelisse asked her brother. Eric smiled and replied, "You don't have to think about it and you just have to wait for the results."Annelisse nodded her head and tried to completely leave the matter to her brother. She trusted her brother so much and she hoped he could warn Jack about the dangerous Gideon Miles. Meanwhile, Garric Morland had just discussed Jack's problem with his father and then he chose to go to the Morland family home.He thought the only way to get Gideon to confess about what he had done was to press him further and harass him. Because, he had mobilised so many bodyguards to search for Jack's whereabouts but he still couldn't find his cousin's whereabouts. He was not desperate but he just wanted to try to take one of the easiest ways by a

    Jack Morland quickly calmed the girl down by saying, "Anne, you don't have to worry about this."Annelisse Goldman widened her eyes when she heard Jack say that, "Jack, are you serious? You really don't suspect them at all?"Jack shook his head and he stopped walking and smiled at the girl, "Anne, I knew them long before they knew my true identity. I know their characters well and of course I can easily trust them."Jack stopped talking for a moment and then continued, "If the two of them were indeed unfaithful to me, they would have done something like this long before my grandfather died. In fact, I would have needed to force them to move to the positions they got.""You know ... they didn't even want to do it but because I persuaded them, they finally did. With something like this, I can tell right away that they might need a much higher position but they wouldn't want to get it the wrong way round," Jack explained at length about his argument.

    Gideon smiled widely when he heard Alex's words. "You're right. Right now I'm the only person he can trust so I know all the decisions Young Master Morland has made must have been well thought out," Gideon argued and laughed.George could hardly bear to be in that room so he gave Alex the code for them to leave the office immediately. However, before that could happen Alex said, "Mr. Miles, before I leave I would like to ask you something."Gideon, who was in a good mood, nodded, "Yes, just say the word, Mr. Blake.""The Young Master wants you to organise a meeting where you will preside over the meeting so that all the important officials in this company know about the order given by Young Master Morland. Can you do it, Mr. Miles?" Alex asked carefully as this was the last order from the young master before they would actually face the master plan of their young master. "Yes, you don't need to worry about it at all. It's easy to do and I will do it in the near future," Gideon quic

    As had evidently been expected by their young master, Gideon Miles did ask about the young master's whereabouts. With great calm and composure, George again replied, "I apologise to you, Mr. Miles. For this matter I cannot say."Gideon Miles looked both disappointed and very upset but the man tried to keep a friendly smile on his face and it looked like a forced one. Alex Blake was extremely happy that he managed to make the man upset. "Gideon, you don't need to feel upset because after all this is what Young Master Morland wanted. Wouldn't you also be happy if the young master could win himself back and then be able to return to this company again with a healed mentality?" Alex asked the man with a smile. Gideon chuckled when he heard that and immediately responded, "Oh, of course. I would be happiest if young Master Morland could return to his old self and start running the company as instructed by Master Hugh."Alex was truly amazed and appreciated the acting shown by Gideon Mi

    Richard Foster confidently shook his head, "Young Master Morland, even if I could get a much better position than what I have now, I would never be able to stand my ground when I got it the wrong way round."He sighed and continued, "I've gone through so much and fought so hard to get to the position I'm in now, I'm not going to throw away my efforts that I've worked so hard for to get an instant position.""I can never be proud of that," Richard ended his explanation and it made Jack smile at the middle-aged man. He was so relieved to hear that and he even thought that he never regretted choosing the general division back then. "Thank you for being loyal to my family and ... not taking advantage of my difficult position," Jack said quietly to the middle-aged man. They talked about a few things next and finally Jack said to Richard, "If I need your help, would you be willing to help me?""Of course, Young Master. Whatever you need and want, I will definitely try to do it for you,"
