"Karen Joy Kyle!" Jackie repeated Karen Joy Kyle's name again, knocking on the folder rhythmically with his slender fingertips. "How can Nathaniel be willing to allow his treasure to get involved in Serene's murder case?"
Daryl Leves replied respectfully, "There was only one photo on the Internet. After that, no one found any other news about the girl, so we can see that Mr. President was really trying his best to protect the girl."
"Did Nathaniel really not send anyone to look for Serene during this period?" After a month, Jackie still did not believe that Nathaniel would turn a blind eye to Serene Silas' disappearance.
Daryl replied, "Young Master Mallory has passed your message to Mr. President. He must know that Miss Silas is here, so he didn't bother to do that."
Jackie asked again, "Is Nathaniel back from his visit abroad yet?"
Daryl responded, "He returns this afternoon."
Jackie tilted his head and glanced at the calendar on the table. "It's only two weeks till November 20th. It seems that it's time for me to meet him."
Daryl was a little worried. He wanted to hold his concerns back, but he said out loud anyway, "Young Master, there are some things that we're not sure yet. Should we slow down? If this is a trap, what happened a year ago will repeat again if you meet him."
"The entire Leves family died a year ago, and his mother, the former First Lady died that night too... I intend to give him a chance to explain." Jackie suspected Nathaniel's intention behind the incident, but no matter how much he tried to make sense of the situation, Nathaniel could not be the mastermind behind the murder case a year ago.
The Leves family was the most loyal supporter of Nathaniel taking up the position of the President. With the support of the Leves family, Nathaniel's promotion to the throne became easier. He would not be stupid enough to destroy his supporter.
Jackie had also theorized that Nathaniel did this to get Serene and to get the support of the Silas family, but he would not be so inhuman as to kill his own mother.
Daryl said, "Young Master, but..."
Jackie interrupted him. "No buts. Just do as I told you."
Daryl replied, "Yes."
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop his master. He didn't want to persuade him any further.
As soon as Daryl left, Jackie thought of the man, a person who had grown up with him.
They were born in the same year and shared the same birthday. They went to school together, joined the army together, and fought against the enemies together.
They did a lot of things together...
In Jackie's eyes, Nathaniel had a closer relationship with him than with his own brother.
They once said that they would share weal and woe with each other for the rest of their lives.
Jackie had also secretly made up his mind that he would stay with Nathaniel for the rest of his life. He would help him become the President and run the nation with him.
He regarded Nathaniel as his blood brother, but Nathaniel got engaged to his beloved woman when he wasn't even sure if he was alive.
When the two of them got engaged, did they ever think about him?
Even if they only thought of him for a second, they would probably not do such a thing as to betray him.
Perhaps, Nathaniel did not share the same sentiments as Jackie. Maybe Nathaniel only regarded him as a pawn that could be used.
Jackie had been so suspicious of Nathaniel for many times, but he still wanted to give him a chance to explain.
If Nathaniel denied the allegations, he was willing to believe him.
"Jackie, Jackie..."
Just as Jackie was lost in thought, he heard Serene's voice from the computer.
