The Robin Hood Society (Jacob And The Heiress) - Chapter 664

“You just brought her and detained her in the chamber,” J said in deep thought. “Then, who did that to her face?” She asked looking at Jacob’s eyes. Somehow, she already has an idea but she just wanted confirmation.

Jacob looked at J seriously testing if she could take the information that he will be telling her calmly. But J is a smart and observant person. She probably must have an idea already.

“Your father has his own way of punishing those that offend him or his family. And that is identity and memory erasure.”

J’s jaw dropped.

That information was not something that she expected. Or maybe she did when Jacob told her that it was not him who did that ‘reconstruction surgery’ on Senator Rizza’s face, but she was in a denial.

She thought that as the heiress of the Robin Hood Society, she should know everything about it. How it runs and operates, its rules and own law but a punishment like that was something that she thought didn’t exist.

She thought that psychological torture is sinister enough as a form of punishment but her father’s way of punishment is exceedingly brutal. If her father’s form of punishment gets exposed to the public as the Robin Hood Society’s own, then she doesn’t need the Twelve Army’s protection at all.

The people’s fear to be punished by the Robin Hood Society is enough for J to be safe. Now she wondered why her grandfather has to marry her to Jacob if they have that kind of punishment that people would fear.

Now she is next in line to take over the Robin Hood Society, as its leader, she was certain that she could manage it well the way her father and grandfather did, but to punish their offender the way her father does, she became uncertain.

She may seem tough and cold but she is very soft-hearted.

Too soft-hearted to even look at the state Senator Rizza is in right now.

But not soft-hearted enough to argue with Jacob or her father about the prerequisites of such punishments. As they were both leaders of a paramilitary organization and an organization enacting law without legal authority with their own rules and principles.

And she respects them, she respects their principle.

But the fact that she cannot stomach that kind of punishment doesn’t mean she doesn’t support them. She indeed supports them, it’s just that, she cannot seem to do it on her own.

Now a question pops in her head.

If she has to take over the Robin Hood Society, will she be able to harden her heart to do such things?

“Honey, are you okay?” J’s head was lowered for long that she didn’t notice Jacob’s worried face. He has to cup her face with both of his palms and raised her head so that he could see her face.

J blinked twice. “Yes, I guess…I was just surprised. I’ve never heard of that before.”

“Hmm…that’s understandable. Your father knew you too well that’s why he didn’t let you know. Only a few members of the Society know about it. Not even your grandfather.”

That explains it, J thought. Her grandfather didn’t know about that barbaric punishment. It was probably only her father’s idea.

Jacob decided not to tell her about the underground facility at the Naupaka Mountain yet.

….

After that visit to the basement, Jacob left J to take a nap that afternoon. He didn’t probe further if she is tired or not feeling well. He just seems to have realized that she needed that much rest.

When J woke up that afternoon, although she had lunch with Jacob, she still felt her stomach growling.

She removes the covers on top of her and stood up. She slips on a slipper then she walked out of the bedroom.

She is wearing a striped cotton tee dress and she looked comfortable in it. It was the same one that she wore that morning, she didn’t bother to change.

She walked out of the bedroom and head towards the kitchen to see if there is anything for her to eat or for her to cook base on her taste bud’s preference at this moment.

She was delighted to see a toasted waffle with almond butter and pear on the kitchen counter. She guessed that Jacob had already anticipated her hunger when she awakes and prepared the snack before he left.

J smiled at the waffles before she devoured it while keeping in her mind that she has to make up to Jacob by preparing a special dinner for him.

Once she’s already filled, she looked at the wall clock and found that she still has time to visit the clinic.

So, she changed her slippers into white slip-on sneakers and left the house not before he sends Jacob a message that she’ll be at the clinic. She didn’t receive a reply from him.
