Jack looked coldly at Jay and said, "You came just in time."
Josephine stopped Jay's wheelchair right in front of Jack. Angeline immediately got behind him.
Her actions were similar to a little bird seeking protection from an eagle.
Josephine stared daggers at Angeline and uttered," Troublemaker."
Angeline just smiled at her.
Josephine was confused. This woman had the guts to defy and disrespect the people of Sycamore Annex, yet she was as obedient as a small animal toward her. Why was this?
Hearing what Josephine said, the people of Sycamore Annex thought that Jay had come to apologize.
Even Jack thought so. He put on an expression of arrogance, waiting for Jay’s apology.
After a moment of silence, Jay's thin lips uttered," Father, what wrong has she done for you to order them to kill her?"
His voice might have been soft, but it was weighted with defiance.
Jack was thinking that if Jay did not humbly
apologize to him, he might not let Angeline off the hook that easily.
He did not for one moment think that the first words Jay said would be filled with defiance.
"Jay, she came to Sycamore Annex, my territory, and caused a commotion, should I not punish her?" Jack swallowed down the rage that was building up inside him and maintained his fatherly smile.
"If she was disrespectful to you, you should punish her, I have no problem with that," Jay replied.
Angeline was dumbfounded.
He did not seem to care about her much, did he?
"You’re still matured," Jack said.
He raised his hand and commanded his people, " Attack her."
