The Robin Hood Society (Jacob And The Heiress) - Chapter 671

Alexander snaps his head to look at Benjamin. “You know what he did when he heard about Lilian.” He loves his granddaughter too much that he started to worry about her future the moment she was born. She is like a priceless gem to him that he cannot afford to put her life at risk. But he still did. She is his princess, whom he loved unconditionally.

“Jack won’t hurt her.”

“But he will force her to get married to his grandson in the future. You know about his 5-year-old grandson, right?” Alexander said apprehensively.

“Yes, he is about the same age as my grandson. But we are still a long way ahead. Anything can happen.”

“Benjamin, can you do me a favor?” Alexander takes a sip on his tea before he looks at Benjamin with a grave expression.

Benjamin’s expression becomes stern. “What is it?”

“Will you help me protect my Jenny?” Alexander looked at him beseechingly.

But Benjamin chuckled. “Are you kidding me? The fact that she is the heiress of the Robin Hood Society will protect her enough. People eventually feel repressed when they heard the name Robin Hood Society. Imagine what they would feel towards a name or a person associated with it.”

Benjamin was right. The Robin Hood Society has been well established and is already at the point that everyone feared its name. They were cautious not to catch the attention of the Robin Hood Society. Thou they have never heard of anyone being physically harmed or were treated unjustly by the Robin Hood Society, they feared for their wealth more than anything.

One could lose their life’s fortune in just a blink of an eye if they were placed under the radar of the Robin Hood Society, especially those in the government, and doing business illicitly.

“But that fact will also put her life at risk. I will be more at ease if the Twelve Army would protect her as well.” Alexander said solemnly.

Benjamin stared at him. He understands how he feels because if he is in the same position, he would do the same as well. In fact, he is being overprotective as well with his grandchildren. It’s just that, Alexander has a lot to worry about.

So, in the end, he made a promise. He doesn’t mind making a promise to his friend if that means a little life will be protected.

….

“I promised that I will protect Jenny by all means, even if it means that she has to be married to my family and drag my family into this mess.”

“It’s you who proposed your grandson to be married to the heiress.” Jack Ogden said through gritted teeth.

“Yes.” Elder Parker’s reply made everyone surprised. They all thought that the arranged marriage was Elder Do’s idea. It turns out that it was Elder Parker’s idea.

Everyone looked at Elder Parker with irony. The old man who was saying as if he wouldn’t want his family to be drag down with Elder Do’s mess is now saying that he actually let his family be dragged down to Elder Do’s mess buy suggesting a marriage between the two families.

Jacob’s mind suddenly turned into a mess. Does his grandfather have an ulterior motive? Does he have the interest to take over the Robin Hood Society? If that so? Then he is no less than Jack Ogden. Jacob clenched his jaw and Alex eventually noticed it making him smirk.

Jacob remained silent. While Lance who was silently standing behind them had his fist clenched into a ball. Were they trusting the wrong people?

Jack Ogden pressed his lips together. “You cunning old fox! You knew that Alexander trusts you that much and you seized the opportunity! You are more covetous than I am. You were born with a silver spoon on your mouth. You didn’t have to strive to get a good life. You had the hospitals and the Twelve Army and as if it’s not enough, you aspire for the Robin Hood Society which was supposed to be mine!”

“The Robin Hood Society does not belong to you or the Parkers! It belongs to Miss J. No one deserves it more than her!” Lance who couldn’t contain his anger anymore and burst out casting icy glare towards the four man sitting in front of him.

His anger started to build up towards not just to Jack Ogden but also to Elder Parker and Jacob the moment Elder Parker said that he was the one who proposed for the marriage of Jacob and J. It seems that it is not only Jack Ogden who have the guts to covet after the Robin Hood Society but also Elder Parker. He wonders if Jacob knew about this.

All four men raise their heads to look at Lance. Jacob already knows what Lance was thinking. And cannot blame him, because even he is thinking the same way. It seems that his grandfather planned for this all along so that they’ll have the Robin Hood Society in the palm of his hands.

He turned his head and glared as his grandfather who seemed nonchalant about it. The old man didn’t spare a glance.
