Caleb grinned and blew out some smoke rings.
"Johny, don't play dumb with me. My daughter Jamie is from Imperial City. You know her very well. I don't want to waste time with you. Bring my daughter out!" Caleb said.
"It seems that Mr. Caleb knows about what happened in Imperial City very well. But I doubt if what Mr. Caleb knows is true?" Johny said.
He knew that Mary would not tell Caleb the bad things she had done.
"What do you mean?" Caleb narrowed his eyes, fixing his gaze on Johny.
"Forget it. Mr. Caleb, it is a good thing for you to find your daughter. I also know that you want Jamie to inherit your fortune. But, Mr. Caleb, shouldn't you choose a trustworthy heir or heiress? If Jamie ruined your business, wouldn't you regret it?" Johny said.
"What on earth are you going to say?" Caleb frowned.
"I want to tell you something about Mary," Johny said.
"She is not Mary. She is Jamie, my daughter. I gave her the name." Speaking of Jamie's name, Caleb felt proud.
Caleb still remembered that the first time he saw Jamie he knew that Jamie was his daughter because she looked so much like him.
Johny said, "Well, I will call her Jamie. We met each other a long time ago. When I was in a coma, my family wanted to find a wife for me. The prophet said that Jamie and I were meant to be together. But Jamie didn't want to marry a half-dead person, so she asked her sister to do it for her."
"Mr. Caleb, is this what Jamie who you know usually does?"
Caleb was loyal to his friends and he was admired for that. He would never betray his friends or fool others. He was an upright man.
Johny continued, "Later, I woke up and recovered. Then, I want to thank the woman who married me. But Jamie was jealous because she should have been my wife. And she insisted that her sister should leave. Jamie began to seduce me and insult her sister."
Hearing this, Caleb felt humiliated!
Caleb hated bad people. He didn't expect that his daughter would do this kind of thing.
Johny added, "She drugged the food my wife had, which led to my wife's miscarriage. That was how I lost my first child."
Speaking of this, Johny wanted to kill Jamie!
"She used to be my sister-in-law. But what she did in my house was horrible! If you don't believe in me, Mr. Caleb, you can ask everyone in my family. What I said is the truth!" Johny said.
Johny knew that Caleb was an upright man.
And Caleb would not cover for Jamie. After all, what Jamie had done was unforgivable.
Jamie indeed had mentioned something about the Imperial City. But that was different from what Johny just said.
Caleb hesitated. He didn't know who he should trust.
But Caleb knew that Johny was not a bad guy, so Johny would not lie about this. Although Johny was ruthless sometimes, he was reliable and never lied.
"What's done is done. Please forgive my daughter for what she has done. But I have to take her back," Caleb said.
Caleb chose to take Jamie's side because she was his daughter.
"I will let you take her away. But she has to tell me where my wife is," Johny said.
That was his condition.
"Did you mean that Jamie kidnapped your wife?" Caleb asked.
"Yes. Please tell me where my wife is, Mr. Caleb if you know it," Johny said.
