The Robin Hood Society (Jacob And The Heiress) - Chapter 669

“What’s there to be ashamed about? I am meeting an old friend which I haven’t seen for decades and he is one of the richest men in the world that I know of.” Elder Parker said in a matter of fact tone.

After a while, Carlos returned with an old bottle of champagne. Too old that it looked vintage, the label is already worn out but you could still see the name of it on the label and the year that it is manufactured. For some, the more vintage it looked, the pricier it gets.

Carlos placed four tulip glasses on the coffee table and meticulously served each of them with the shipwreck champagne. Millions of bubbles float on the champagne making it pleasing in the eye.

Elder Parker reached out for the tulip glass and brought it near his nose to smell the aroma. Then he takes a sip. Then Jacob did the same not even suspect that they could be poisoned from it. That would be impossible because the cork and the capsule of the champagne are completely intact, in fact, there was still dirt and residues on the lip of the bottle.

The taste of that legendary champagne was interestingly sweet. Jacob thought internally. It tastes more like a marmalade with a little citric taste than champagne.

“As expected from champagne from centuries ago, it is sweeter.” Elder Parker commented. He is not a fan of wine or any alcoholic beverages and he only drinks them occasionally but he is knowledgeable about them.

Jack Ogden already has a deep frown on his wrinkled face. Why not? The old man in front of him seemed to have only come to annoy him and taste one of his most precious champagne.

“Can we go back now to business?” Jack Ogden said in an aggrieved tone. Alex Ogden who was just silently sitting there on one side of the sofa in front of Jacob smirked. He knew that this will happen.

“What business are you talking about? I am already retired, so I did not come here to talk about business.” Elder Parker peeked behind the tulip glass, still relishing the sweetness of the champagne on his lips.

Jack Ogden’s face turned choleric. “Benjamin Parker, you are a traitor!” He said between gritted teeth.

Elder Parker drunk the last drop of this champagne from the tulip glass then put it down elegantly at the coffee table. And with a stern face, he said, “I did not betray anyone.”

“I only helped a friend and a little girl. I don’t see any betrayal in that. A traitor says one thing but does another. I didn’t promise you anything, my old friend.” There is no trace of the lively Benjamin from earlier. He now sounds and looked at Jack Ogden gravely.

Jack Ogden’s grip on the tulip glass tightened. “You were there when Alexander promised to marry his grandchild to me.”

Elder Parker scoffed. “You are right, I was there when Alexander apathetically agreed to your proposal like it was some petty child’s play. But I could still clearly remember that Alexander didn’t say the word ‘promise’.”

Jack Ogden laughed as if he wasn’t getting pissed at his old friend. “My friend, I hold on to the words of my friend even without the word ‘promise’ in it.”

“Then I guess you two had a misunderstanding. So why don’t you go meet him and chat about it?” Elder Parker said nonchalantly but his words made Jack Ogden fuming inside.

Alexander Do has long been dead and Elder Parker was just indirectly telling Jack Ogden to die so he could meet Alexander Do in the other world and soothe out their misunderstanding.

Lance who was standing a few feet away from Elder Parker was laughing internally. The old man is an adroit bully.

Jack Ogden pressed his lips together and clenched his jaw, he is giving Elder Parker an icy stare but the latter was nonchalant about it and was instead looking at Jack Ogden with teasing eyes.

But after a moment, Jack Ogden’s expression loosened up. He managed to calm himself down because he knew that getting angry at Elder Parker will bring him nothing.

“It seems to me, that you have no intention of returning back the heiress to me. So why waste time to come here?” Jack Ogden said not wanting to spend more time with his visitors.

Elder Parker became a teaser again. “Who says I came here to waste my time? I get to taste the legendary shipwreck champagne so it is not a waste at all!” Elder Parker laughed. “Thou I still prefer harder liquor like brandy.”

Jack Ogden scoff. “You are wasting my time Benjamin Parker. If you don’t return the heiress to me, take your grandson with you and wait as I eradicate every person that has your blood running on them one by one.” His voice was menacing.
