Chapter 131 I Only Love Her (Part Two)

Wilson stared at Cherry for a moment and then also lowered his head and continued eating the supper.

Inside the living room, Andrew sat on the chair which indicated his authority in the family. His butler

stood beside him, and Jackson and Derek sat nearby, while Bobby stood beside Jackson, and Selina in

the other side of the room. The atmosphere was slowly getting more and more intense by each passing

moment.

"Jackson, how is the Future Project going?" asked Andrew. He then added, "Do you need any help with

it?"

Jackson shook his head, and answered, "No, I don't. Everything is well and under control."

"Are you sure? Can you win it?" Andrew was concerned about Jackson's competitors. He had

conducted a thorough research on them, and the results indicated that Wilson was also holding a trump

card. Besides that, Wilson's father, Jacob, would also certainly help Wilson.

Derek didn't say a word, but Selina seemed to have understood Andrew's concern. She said,

"Grandpa, are you talking about Wilson?"

Andrew shot an approving glance at Selina and thought that she was indeed quite clever.

Selina regarded grandpa's silence as an acquiescence, and thought that she had guessed right.

Delighted by this, she continued, "Grandpa, please set your heart at rest. In our opinion, Wilson isn't

that much of a serious and competent competitor, but we do have another one that we need to worry

about."

Andrew was a bit surprised by what she said, and as he turned to look at Jackson, he asked, "Well,

who is it?"

Jackson stared ahead with a blank look in his eyes and didn't intend to answer his inquiry.

Derek also noticed Jackson's indifference and hesitation to answer the question, and thought that

somebody eventually would have to reply to it.

He looked into Andrew's eyes, and slowly and respectfully said, "Grandpa, our most dangerous

competitor is Stephen."

Andrew's expression suddenly changed, and he started to get more tensed. He asked, "The An

Family's son?"

"I have always paid close attention to Stephen, " said Jackson. "From the first moment that I laid my

eyes on him I understood that one day the two of us will have to battle each other for our lives."

Everyone in the living room then fell silent. All of them understood that the insoluble conflicts between

Jackson and Stephen had been initially generated from what had happened between them dozens of

years ago; Stephen's very existence was a threat to Jackson.

A few moments later, Andrew opened his mouth, and said, "Jackson, sometimes too much can be just

as bad as too little. After all, Stephen is the only member of An Family still alive. Besides, we too are

also to blame for what happened to them. You shouldn't go too far with this..."

Jackson became angry when he heard his grandpa's words, and retorted, "Grandpa, as far as I'm

concerned, we made no mistakes. We did nothing but to expose the darkest history of that family. We Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

were on the good side."

Andrew stared at Jackson, and said, "Even if we were on the good side, you sacrificed the An Family to

save the He Family. We were the ones that broke Stephen's family, and if we hadn't have done that,

Stephen might have now probably lived a good life with his parents."

Andrew's words touched the hearts of the people around him in the room.

Jackson lowered his head and said nothing more. Although Derek and Selina weren't members of the

Chu Family, the friendship between their family and the Chu Family had spanned for over several

generations. They were fully aware of what Jackson had done to Stephen's Family.

The butler was standing beside Andrew, and was paying close attention to his each and every moves.

His only master was Andrew, and he was the one that he only cared about.

Bobby also held his breath. He was only one of the Chu Family's bodyguards when the An Family had

been destroyed years ago. Although he had heard some news about the terrible disaster, he had never

expressed any real interest in it. His only task was to receive orders from Jackson, because Jackson

was his only master.

When Andrew saw that his grandson didn't speak anymore, he suddenly asked, "Jackson, can I ask

you a personal question?"

"Of course you can, grandpa, " said Jackson.

Andrew looked around the room and saw that all of the people there were family, and that there was no

need to keep the question hidden from them.

"It's about you and Sally. Has she been with you all this time?" Andrew genuinely cared about

Jackson's love affairs. Five years ago, his granddaughter-in-law had left his grandson without any

justified reason. Although Jackson had made every effort in looking for her, she had been nowhere to

be found. Now, five years later, Andrew heard that Sally had always been there for Jackson,

accompanying him everywhere and loving him. Andrew had thought of driving her away, but he was at

the same time afraid that Jackson might do something stupid, and he eventually chose to turn a blind

eye to their relationship. Now, the proper time had come for him to ask Jackson about her, because he

really wanted to know about Jackson's real thoughts that lurked deep down in his heart.

Both Derek and Selina also looked at Jackson, and waited for his reply.

He replied by lowering his head, and hiding his facial expression from the others.

A few moments later, Jackson finally said, "I only love my wife, Cherry."

When they heard him, Derek and Selina instantly looked at each other and smiled, because they both

knew that Jackson still loved Cherry. Actually, Selina was more than happy with his reply, and now she

was more than ever convinced that she had to find some way of bringing Jackson and Cherry back

together. That was the right thing to do.
