"Jack!" Annelisse called again when she saw Jack looking unfocused.

Jack smiled at the girl, "Okay, it looks like I can't possibly hide this from you. Besides, I'm in your house right now and I'm obligated to explain everything to you."

Annelisse Goldman also felt that the young man's problem was no small one.

Jack seemed to be hiding something, or perhaps even depressed about what he had been thinking.

Not wanting to make the young man think about all of his own problems and stress himself out about it, Annelisse tried to make the young man feel comfortable telling her by saying, "We were just close. But believe me ... what you tell me is impossible for anyone else to know."

Jack interpreted this to mean that the girl would always keep whatever she told him a secret.

Of course, Jack could easily trust this girl, because she was the only person who had never betrayed him or kept a secret from him.

Annelisse was the kind of girl who always said what's on her mind and tells him directly

    After being ordered by Gideon, the bodyguards led by Alex immediately headed to the street around the Goldman family home.Meanwhile, Gideon himself immediately went to Mr. Hugh to convey what Young Master Morland had ordered.At that moment, Hugh Morland was relaxing in his private room and did not seem bothered when his confidant entered his office after obtaining permission from him."What's wrong, Gideon? Why do you look so anxious? Did something happen? Is this related to my grandson?" Hugh asked with a furrowed brow as he suddenly had a bad feeling about his grandson.Gideon immediately spoke about it very carefully, "The young master previously ordered George to check all the areas around the Goldman family home. He suspected that there were people following him."Hugh, who was still opening the book he had just read, quickly closed the book. The old man immediately looked at Gideon with a look that wanted him to continue."Sir, George found two cars with a number of bodyguards

    At first Jack felt that what Annelisse said was just a theory.However, when he really understood it then he changed his mind."You're right, Anne. They didn't really want to see me at first but since grandfather suddenly tightened the guard around me, they are suddenly very eager to see me."Jack sighed, "That's also what made Garric finally desperate to meet me on campus."He then paused for a few moments and realized that it happened to him too."I experienced it myself. Grandfather seemed so very restrictive and even tried to keep me away from them. However, in reality I was not silent and obedient to my grandfather's orders. What he did made me so curious that I ended up finding out for myself," Jack explained.Oh, he really felt very, very stupid and it was the first time he regretted all the things he had done.Oh, he was dubbed by some as an outstanding young man. In fact, many of the company staff admired his abilities.According to Jack, the incident where he was trapped by

    Jack Morland immediately put on a polite smile and returned the sad gaze of the woman who had given birth to the girl he liked.He suddenly felt guilty again for making his host sad just because he had not found his appetite back, which had suddenly disappeared. "Oh, Madam. You misunderstood. I was just in shock and couldn't decide which dish to try first because they all looked so delicious," Jack replied.Actually, Jack wasn't lying at all and what he said was the truth.The food Mary Goldman had cooked looked so appetizing and he even found it very eye-catching.The food was even suitable to be sold in a restaurant because it looked that delicious."Hey, young man. I know you're trying to be polite. But ...."Mary's face immediately looked sad and Jack couldn't bear it.The young man quickly said, "Mrs. Goldman, I will eat it right away and you don't have to worry because I will eat all the food even though I am already full."What Jack said immediately made the other three Goldma

    "Young Master, everyone is in their respective positions as you instructed earlier. They are just waiting for your next order," Rey replied.The personal bodyguard of Garric Morland also added, "You will not fail this time, Young Master. I'm sure you'll manage to talk to Jack Morland again."Garric just nodded and did not respond to anything else because he was actually starting to feel unsure if his plan would run smoothly.Seeing how Jack had been avoiding him for several days and even knowing that his personal bodyguards were checking around the Goldman family home, it was safe to guess that the young man was starting to move cautiously.It was a sign that Jack truly believed in his grandfather and no longer trusted him.But even so, he still had a chance to shake the young man's trust."Young Master, what are your next orders?" Rey asked with great enthusiasm."Send two of your men to see what the situation is around the Goldman family home," Garric said in a very thick commanding

    "I will go to him and tell him that I will never trust them again," Jack said in a very confident tone.He was very sure that he would make their family surrender to chase him.Annelisse was stunned, "Jack, are you sure about this?" She did not think that Jack would decide to do that. According to her, his decision was very dangerous to himself and also to Jack's family."Please, when you decide to go back to see them, it means you're giving them hope. It's the same as giving them a chance to influence you again," the girl continued with a worried look at her new lover.She wouldn't let him to make mistakes related to his actions. Jack looked back at the girl and tried to calm her down, "Anne, I know you're worried about me because you're afraid I'll trust them again. But ... you should know that I really have trusted my grandfather 100% so you have nothing to worry about."Annelisse bit her lower lip. She wasn't unsure of Jack's trustworthiness. She was just afraid that Jack would

    Jack could only sigh tiredly and disappointedly as it turned out that neither of the two people he trusted believed in him.Annelisse Goldman also didn't trust him before and seemed to doubt him. Now it was George Cleve's turn who, like Annelisse, seemed to doubt his loyalty to his grandfather.Seeing this, Jack could only say, "Oh, it seems that no one really believes in me. Well, it doesn't matter and I just have to prove that I can really be trusted."George swallowed nervously and now felt very guilty for Jack.He could sense the disappointment his young master was feeling but it was too late for him to correct his words.He knew that Jack was already disappointed and he couldn't change it. Still, he said, "But ... I am quite sure that you could not possibly want to make Mr. Hugh sad."Jack smiled faintly but did not respond to his personal bodyguard's words.He remained silent as he waited for his car to arrive at the location where Garric was waiting for him.This time it was st

    Jack was really irritated by the laughter and now he was even preparing to punch Garric in the face.However, he suddenly restrained himself from smashing the young man's face.It was also immediately noticed by Garric, "Why didn't you do it? Have you never hit anyone before? Or do you really not know how to hit people?"Garric shook his head. He didn't know too much about his distant cousin but what he did know in recent times was that Jack Morland had become one of the most talked about young men in his town.Ocean Hill was not a very small town but it could easily spread like wildfire. The news of a young heir who was favored by his grandfather and protected in such a way was no secret.Jack Morland was so famous everywhere that even he knew that after he announced to the world that he was the sole heir of the Morland family, Jack had become a celebrity who was talked about everywhere.Almost everyone knew about him and knew at least a few things about the young heir who was also th

    Garric could no longer contain his anger.He raised his hand and punched Jack in the face.But, unfortunately his punch was blocked by Jack very easily and even the young man gripped Garric's hand so strongly that the man could not move freely.Of course Garric was very surprised by his distant cousin's actions."You ... what are you doing?" Garric said with a strong anger.If it was someone else, he would have been very afraid to face the angry Garric.The man looked more like an angry lion than an ordinary human being.Garric looked so scary but the young man was not too scary for Jack.In fact, he felt that Garric was not as strong as he imagined. He had a weak side that he tried hard to hide.Unfortunately Garric didn't manage to hide that from Jack. "Let go of me, damn it!" Garric shouted in a huff.The man really just wanted to rid himself of Jack.Jack casually replied, "I don't have a strong grip on you. Why can't you free yourself?"Jack grinned widely and now felt he had wo

    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,"
