Jenson said, "This is what Grandma gave to my mommy when she visited her last night."
Jacob's expression was unnatural.
Jo was terrified and stared at Jacob as he said, "Dad, what in the world is going on? What did you do to Mom?"
Jacob scolded Jo, "I'm your dad! How could you trust a n outsider instead of me? He’s gaslighting us, can't you tell?"
Jo was wavering. He stared at Jenson angrily and said, "Jenson, what are you trying to do?"
Jenson waved to the Ghost members and said, "Go, bring Madam Charlotte out."
Jo blocked the door and shouted, "No one is allowed i n! If you insist, it’ll be over my dead body!"
There was a sly sneer in Jacob's eyes.
Jacob threatened Jenson, "Jens, Charlotte is seriously ill and should not be moved around. If you forcibly take her away, you’ll be responsible if something happens to her."
Jenson replied, "Is that a threat?"
Jacob snorted and said, "This is what you get for being
reckless!"
Jenson answered in a chilly tone, "You poisoned her i n hopes that she would die slowly and want to frame me for it. It's a great plan, but did you think about what would happen if Grandma wakes up?"
Jacob panicked but soon regained his composure. After all, Madam Nephele's poison was incurable.
"That's all I have to say. Jens, make a choice."
Jenson flicked his sleeves and said, "I won’t waste my time, then. Anyway, the life and death of Madam Charlotte have nothing to do with me."
Jacob was overjoyed that his plan had worked.
Out of the blue, Jo suddenly acted out. He grabbed Jenson and said, "Jens, you’re the person in charge of the Ares family. How can you say that?!"
Jenson questioned him, "You’re standing guard like a watchdog, so what do you want me to do?"
Jo said, "I’ll let you visit my mom on the condition that I will be present the entire time. Don’t think of trying anything."
