King's Back novel Chapter 53

Jackson only had a few thousand yuan as living expense. Even if he didn’t use any for the past three years, it would still be impossible for him to have one million.

Jackson smiled and said: “It’s just one million. It’s nothing to me. I owned a private bank myself that raises more than one hundred billions of funds annually, which will be invested to major emerging industries.”

Dolcie was stunned and rolled her eyes, “Every time I ask you a question, you brag. You think I will believe you?”

Jackson was speechless for a while. He was telling the truth, but his wife didn’t trust him anymore. Did he look like someone unreliable?

Since Jackson was silent, Dolcie thought that she just exposed his lies, which embarrassed him. So she said:

“But I am still happy that you can buy me a present. Thank you. This is probably the most expensive present you ever give me.”

For the past three years, Jackson had never given a present to Dolcie formally. This was the first and the most valuable one.

Seeing the smile on Dolcie’s face, Jackson smirked as well. He finally managed to make his wife happy.

After going back home, Dolcie locked herself in the room to deal with the documents again.

Dolcie was the CEO. Although she was taking a break at home, yet, for her, it was just changing a place to work.

Jackson had nothing to do in the afternoon and there was a long time till the dinner time. He suddenly thought of Harry Cox.

Harry texted him yesterday, saying that he wouldn’t be able to come to the company for a few days. Consequently, the training had to be stopped.

Jackson didn’t ask why, because he felt that Harry was in trouble.

Jackson drove to the Peace Community in Y City based on the company record.

This was a very old community, and the walls were mottled. There wasn’t a property management in here. The buildings looked as if they were built in the last century.

Jackson wasn’t surprised by this kind of environment, because he already knew that Harry’s family was impoverished.

Jackson went upstairs and the smell of garbage ran into his nose. The stairway was very narrow, without an elevator. Jackson came to the door at the fifth floor. He checked the apartment number and knocked on the door.

After a while, a familiar voice rang out from the apartment.

“Who is it?”

“It’s me, Jackson.”

It was silent for a moment as the person inside heard Jackson’s voice. Then Jackson heard the footsteps approaching. The door was opened, Harry stood at the door.

This guy was in beach pants and a white vest. Unlike how energetic he was normally, Harry’s eyes were swollen and looked fatigue now. He seemed to become another person.

Jackson narrowed his eyes and didn’t say anything. He patted on Harry’s shoulder and said: “Let’s talk inside.”

Harry didn’t expect Jackson to be here. The latter was like a god, or an idol, in his heart.

Especially when Jackson patted on his shoulder, he almost cried out. That was the care of the master for the disciple. Though without words, Harry was very grateful.

Harry’s apartment was very small, with a total area of approximately fifty square meters. A kitchen, a bathroom, plus two small bedrooms, left a tiny amount of space for the living room.

The furnishes were archaic. The old-fashioned refrigerator kept buzzing.

Harry brought Jackson to his room and wiped the tears in his eyes with his back to Jackson. After that, he turned around with a smile and introduced:

“Mom, dad, my colleague came to visit me. This was Jackson that I mentioned.”

“Oh, it’s Jackson. My son always talks about you. Go, go get some water for Jackson.”

“Sit please.”

Two feeble voices sounded from the room. Jackson took a peek into the room and saw a fifty-year-old man lying on a wooden bed. His hairs were grey, and he looked ten years older in appearance.

The old man was skinny and tanned. The skin color was the sign of years of manual labor under the sun. More surprisingly, Jackson noticed that his leg, which hung on the bed, was so swollen that it almost matched the size of a head.
