Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1299

Jacky paused for a moment before turning around to look at Jepherson, who appeared irritable. He hated going up and down in the lift.

"Let's just head outside." He pressed the 'open' button and marched out of that claustrophobic space.

Jacky followed him out the elevator. Outside, Jepherson walked on while saying, "Deanna is already yours. With your child gestating inside her, it's out of the question for her to marry someone else."

Jacky didn't understand at all. "Then, why are you trying to tear us apart?"

"Is there any other way to hide the fact that Deanna is pregnant? You wanna wait for her belly to eventually become bigger, and then thrust her into the overly critical public eye?"

"What do you mean?"

"This is not my idea. It's what the Whalen family wants."

Jepherson walked to a place absent of people and turned around to look at Jacky in the darkness. "Deanna will be fine when she returns home. Zorion is her brother. Even if he was a little angry at first, you were still chosen by him. He won't do anything to Deanna. Moreover, Mr. and Mrs. Whalen are coming back for two days. Judging by Deanna's character, she will cry and complain. Mr. Whalen will come to you by then. As for how he'll find you, not even I can predict it. So, watch your back, I'd say. If you want to marry Deanna, then you would need more than capability. You would need luck."

"You want me to hand Deanna over to Zorion?" Jacky said.

"Do you still think you have a choice?" Jepherson turned away. Jacky laughed. "Although Capital City isn't my territory, with my current ability, it's not a problem for me to keep Deanna from the likes of you."

"Then, you are so wrong, you might as well die here." Jepherson was almost unhesitating. Jacky's eyes instantly turned cold. "Die here?"

Jepherson looked around and said, "You've only seen the tip of the iceberg of Capital City. Don't underestimate the Richards and Whalen family is what I'm saying."

"Don't think that we can't do anything to you after you set foot in Capital City. I can tell you that both our families are tight-knit. Whatever conflict we have between us, with outsiders it is always 'in unity there is strength'."

"No matter what your relationship with Santiago is, if Zorion got caught up in any trouble, Santiago may choose not to help, but he won't help you either."

"Moreover, we don't have to do anything to you. Zorion alone is enough."

"Enough?"

Jacky's eyes were filled with doubt.

Jepherson smiled and said, "Everyone in Capital City knows that the Whalen family dominates the underworld. As a newcomer from Waverly Village, it's impossible for someone like you not to know this. The problem is, when Santiago was not here, you managed to occupy most of the city. Don't you feel strange? Are you really that d*mn lucky?"

Jacky thought for a moment. "Zorion intentionally let me in on purpose?"

"No sh*t. What else do you think? Zorion is anything but a fool. If he alone can find someone in your village, then do you think he will be afraid of you? To put it bluntly, he wanted you to come in. It leads people into thinking that you fought your way into Capital City to get his sister. In the end, you became famous because of your determination, and the Whalen family is showered with praises."

Realization dawned on Jacky.

He looked around him. "Why?"

"Of course it's because of Deanna. You've slept with his sister. You think he would let this go?"

"It's just that he had no choice. After all, Deanna was a willing party."

Jepherson turned to look at Jacky. "No matter what, Zorion is her brother. They are a family. He won't hurt her. Maybe he was somehow harsh with his words when he was angry and disgusted with Deanna. But Zorion cares about her, and not any less than you do."

"Say what you want, but it all boils down to getting me to return Deanna to Zorion."

"Bull's eye."

"I can't leave her, and I'm worried about Zorion. After all, she is still young, and she can be pregnant again."

"Man, you aren't too bright, are you?" Jepherson laughed, in contrast to Jacky's straight face.

Jepherson took two steps forward and said, "Zorion won't force his sister to get an abortion and risk her going mad. Moreover, abortion is not good for her body, and he knows that.
