Ice and Fire novel Chapter 456

'That man might not have met Jackson yet, ' Jonson commented in his mind. Nobody could tell whether that man will show respect for Jackson or not.'

Upon returning to his home, Eric sat on the sofa, silent with anger.

Bobby stood, studying Eric's expression. "Boss, what did Jackson say?"

Eric exploded, yelling, "I have never been pissed off like that before! How dare that damned man lecture me in front of Jonson! He would be dead by my hand if he were not the head of the Chu Family!"

A thoughtful expression crossed Bobby's face, causing a crease in his eyebrows. "Boss, please don't be so upset. I have known Jackson for many years. He should not be underestimated. He and the Chu Family indeed have great influence and power in this city."

"Alas, " Eric sighed helplessly, leaning back against his sofa. "When Andrew was my boss, I was somewhat convinced. He had done me a great favor, he was of noble character and high prestige. But now, my boss has become this... this man who is even younger than me! How can I accept this willingly?"

"But, he isn't some man. He is Jackson, " Bobby argued. He had always held Jackson in great esteem. He really admired Jackson's ability to deal with issues, even though his true boss was Eric.

"So what? "Now that Andrew is dead, I'll just revolt against Jackson, " Eric stated, more casually than one should.

Bobby's eyes widened in shock. "Boss!" he exclaimed. "Please don't say things like that. If Jackson finds out, you're sure to be in trouble. Don't forget, Jackson is powerful by himself, and what's more: he was also the boss of Jonson. If they join forces, there's little chance for us to win."

Bobby's interjection made Eric stop and think. He had to admit, he likely wasn't powerful enough to battle Jackson.

Something dawned on him all of a sudden. "Bobby!" he cried.

"Yes, boss. What's up?" replied Bobby.

"That woman Jackson protected that year, is she still in the city?" Eric asked.

"Do you mean Sally? "She's still here, in the city, yes boss, " Bobby responded.

Eric began to smirk evilly, his eyes flashing with plans. "That's good. Even if I do nothing, Jackson might be in trouble anyway. He is a married man now. How could Sally possibly tolerate not being the one in his arms instead of his wife? "They loved each other so much that year. I don't believe love like that vanishes easily."

Bobby blinked, remaining silent, but he could tell what Eric was thinking.

"Let's play it by ear. Wait and see. Jackson will have a lot to deal with soon." Eric nodded as he spoke.

Jackson parked his car at the H King Group and entered the building, looking for his wife.

Coincidentally, Wilson left his office to find Cherry as well. Seeing Jackson in the H King Group offices was unexpected.

"Jackson, what are you doing here? Are you looking for Cherry?" Wilson asked.

"Yes, " Jackson replied, walking up to Wilson. "I'm here to see her."

"What a coincidence, I was on my way to meet her too. Let's go together." Wilson smiled warmly. The two men walked in step to Cherry's office.

"Come in, please, " Cherry called as she heard knocking on her door. She was astounded to see her brother and husband walk in together.

"Why are you two here together?" Cherry asked, her voice a little higher than usual.
