Dauntless God Of War novel Chapter 359

Franklin was left with no alternative but to do that.

When he heard about Bobby attempting to castrate Harold, he realized his son was doomed.

Franklin grew more certain of his suspicion when he saw Harold had gathered all the people Bobby had tortured in the past outside the room door. Mr. Campbell's true intention in summoning these people here is to reinforce his reason to punish my son. Helping them to seek justice is just a courtesy act. Bobby is the only heir to the Jackson family. If Mr. Campbell does this, no one will carry on the Jackson family's lineage. To ensure the continuation of the Jackson family, I have no choice but to endure the punishment in Bobby's stead since I'm already of advanced age.

“The Jackson family will compensate everyone who Bobby harmed five million each. I hope all of you can let Bobby off the hook, and I promise he will turn over a new leaf!” Franklin told the dozen people previously tormented by Bobby while enduring the agony.

The crowd fell silent.

They finally ascertained Franklin and Bobby weren't putting up an act.

“The Jacksons have received the punishment they deserved. Are you willing to forgive them now?” Harold asked the victims. If we drag this on any longer, Franklin, who had just recovered slightly, will die of excessive blood loss.

“Since Old Mr. Jackson has been punished, there won't be any point in killing them. If they are willing to compensate me for my loss, I won't pursue this matter further.”

The bravest person among the victims contemplated briefly before choosing to forgive Franklin and Bobby for the sake of the five million.

If he had chosen otherwise, he might not be able to get that money, and the matter would have been forgotten and unresolved. He would suffer a larger loss if that were the case.

The others pondered for a few moments and nodded in agreement.

With that, the matter was finally sorted out.

“Call the ambulance and send Franklin to the hospital.”

Only then did Harold give the order to send Franklin, who was on the verge of passing out, to the hospital.

Meanwhile, instead of repenting, Bobby, whose face was covered in tears, glared at Harold menacingly.

Nevertheless, Harold was unfazed. After all, there were too many people who hated his guts in the world.

“Everyone, aside from all of those present here, I do not wish anyone else to be informed of this matter today. As for the Jackson family's wedding cancellation, I trust you to figure out an excuse to address that issue. The only thing to bear in mind is to avoid exposing my identity,” Harold uttered to Franklin, Sebastian, and the others when the ambulance arrived.

Although Harold didn't do much, everyone could tell he had a formidable background, judging by how Franklin and Samuel treated him.

Hearing Harold's speech, everyone fearfully guaranteed never to let slip today's incident to anyone else.

Most of the influential men even contacted their subordinates to warn them not to divulge any information about what happened that day.

The following day, news about the dissolution of the marriage between the Jackson family and the daughter of the Gambling King of Hishwick Island became widespread in Zaprington.

The reason was that Franklin became aware that Marilyn, the daughter of the Gambling King, Zyaire Schmidt, was involved in a scandal with another man. Not to mention, that man even attended the ceremony on the wedding day and caused a scene.

The public was also informed about how Franklin passed out in rage during the wedding ceremony and was admitted to the hospital.

Zyaire was livid upon learning what happened when the news spread to the Schmidt family at Hishwick Island.

“Franklin, will Mr. Campbell be mad at us for releasing a statement like this to the public?” Sebastian asked worriedly while looking at Franklin, who was lying on the hospital bed.

“Fret not. Mr. Campbell mentioned it would be fine as long as we didn't expose his identity. Besides, so many people saw him causing a ruckus during the wedding ceremony. In addition, news about Marilyn also became trending on the internet for half a day previously. The public would only buy our story with such ambiguous information circulating around,” Franklin replied in resignation.

In truth, he didn't want to provide such an account either, but that was the only way they could convince the public to believe in his explanation.

Although his method would tarnish the Jackson family's reputation, that was still a better outcome than being held accountable by Harold.
