Ice and Fire novel Chapter 403

"What?" Derek looked at Jackson with great surprise.

"Actually, the problem might have started right at the beginning. Do you still remember that time he left? My Grandpa never showed any concern for him because he never asked for the Butler's whereabouts. It was possible that my Grandpa knew what the Butler was doing at that time but didn't tell anyone about it, " Jackson analyzed.

"This is all Mond's fault. Nothing would have happened to Grandpa Andrew if Mond didn't come to him that day. Then, there wouldn't be so much confusion for us too! How can we solve this problem now?", Derek said angrily as he stood up all of a sudden.

Jackson didn't say anything. But in his mind, he asked himself, "Do I really hate Mond from the bottom of my heart?" He thought about that for a while. He believed that he didn't hate Mond. Even though he believed this, he couldn't help but blame Mond for what happened to his Grandpa and the current situation Mond caused. However, his anger towards Mond had diminished as compared to when it first started.

"Please remember, Derek, only Cherry, you and I know about this. You can't let anyone else know this especially Bobby. This is because Eric will not stand by idly if he hears the news, " said Jackson as he changed the topic of their talking.

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry about it, " Derek assured. "But Jackson, what is our next step?" he added.

The H King Group

Meanwhile, Cherry was busy with her work at the office. She was buried in a pile of paperwork which she needed to read over.

Suddenly, Wilson appeared.

"Cherry, " Wilson called her name as he walked up to her.

As soon as she heard that voice, Cherry dropped what she was doing and found her Brother next to her. "Brother, you're here, " Cherry said with a smile.

"You need to rest. Don't overwork yourself Cherry, " Wilson said with concern.

"It's okay, I'm not tired, " replied Cherry. "Brother, why did you come to see me?"

At this point, Wilson sat across Cherry. He was staring at Cherry when his expression suddenly turned serious. "Cherry, there is something I want to ask you, " said Wilson.

"Well, don't wait any longer Brother, just ask me the question, " Cherry nodded.

"I heard from my friends that some people gave special interest to Jackson after Mr. Andrew passed away, and Jackson, " Wilson looked at Cherry, and continued what he was saying, "He probably planned to take over the powerful position that Mr. Andrew left."

Apparently, Cherry wasn't surprised at all with what Wilson just said. It was because that fact was very obvious to everyone now. The old master of the Chu family had passed away. After Mr. Andrew, Jackson was the only person who had the right of inheritance. This was very evident and reasonable.

"Brother, " said Cherry seriously, "there will always be circumstances that we cannot avoid. Jackson is not in the army anymore. I'm not sure what he plans to do next. But I don't want to interfere with his own decisions and I intend to respect whatever he's going to do. Because I believe that he will not just act without any reason. So, I will stay by his side no matter what happens."

However, Cherry didn't say a thing about the token to Wilson. She promised Jackson that she would never tell anyone the secret. And she intended to keep this promise as she knew that so many people would be involved if the secret about the token were revealed to the public. Furthermore, The more people got involved, the more trouble it would bring.

After giving it a thought, Wilson agreed and said, "You are right. I too believe that Jackson is not a person who will do anything without any reason at all. Also, I'm not worried since he is more than capable of handling it well."
