Chapter 445 An Undeniable Truth

\"Did George found out about… this?\" Lily asked. \"Is that why...\"

\"Of course he knew! Why else would I poisoned him?\" He sneered and started eating his food as if he was not talking about poisoning his own father. \"Initially, I wanted to stage an explosion the moment you decide to see him. I was honestly expecting that you would since you were really close and was disappointed that you decided not to. It would have been very easy for me to stage an explosion in Europe. I could even blame the terrorist for it.\" He shrugged. Seeing this, a gleam of an unfathomable expression flashed in Lily's eyes.

\"Where is Yuanfeng?\" she asked.

\"Somewhere safe,\" Jack said. \"That brother of yours attempted to sneak out and see you while you were sleeping. That was a big No-No. So I asked my men to put him into prison and… kill him once he attempts to do it again.\"

\"I want proof that he is alive,\" Lily asked. While she was not really close to Qin Yuanfeng, she was mainly the reason why he was here in the middle of this situation. Jack looked at her for a few seconds before he gestured his hand towards the guard. Not long after, he gave Lily a tablet.

It was Qin Yuanfeng. He was sleeping on the bed in what seemed to be a suite room. Lily lifted an eyebrow. \"You kept him in a suite?\"

\"Well… you wouldn't like it if I mistreat your only family member who knows that you are still alive.\" Jack said. \"Now… I would really love to continue this conversation, but I still have things to attend to. I have to take care of our Empire.\" He rose from his seat, a smile plastered on his face. \"I will go ahead and have breakfast with you tomorrow, all right?\" He did not wait for Lily to answer him as he walked towards the exit.

\"Jack… I have a question.\" Lily asked.

\"Hmmm?\" he stopped in his tracks and turn towards her. \"What is it?\" amusement glistened in his orbs.

\"Why me? We all know… I am nowhere near perfect. Since you have been managing your family's business, then you should already know about my past. I am…\"

\"Lily… stop that.\" He shook his head as he interrupted her. Lily stared at his kind face. She recalled the time where she talked to Jack about villain's having their own happy ending. She couldn't help but wonder why Jack had changed so much since that time. \"You are the only woman… who deserves to stand next to me.\" He stated. \"This is not about your past or your present. This is about you with me… our future together.\"

It was as if something was stuck on Lily's throat as she met his eyes. There was honesty in his words. It was obvious that he believed in his own thoughts. How could Jack be this… far removed from reality? What happened? A normal human would not just change after a few months!

\"See? I know you see it too.\" Jack smiled at him before leaving the room with Anna and the guard in tow.

The moment Jack left the room, his face immediately darkened. \"How many explosions are we talking about?\" he asked the guard.

\"A total of three. One in Hong Kong and two shipments in South China Sea. The Damages…\"

\"I know,\" he hissed and stopped walking. He then shifted his gaze towards Anna, who had her head lowered. \"Tell her she's pregnant.\"

\"But she's not…\" Anna immediately paled when she realized that she had talked back to the Don. \"I… My Apologies… I will tell her that she is pregnant.\"

Jack frowned before he sent her back to Lily. He then continued walking towards his office. \"Was it Zhuo Jingren?\"

\"Negative.\" The man answered. \"We have been observing them in the past few days and they were not doing anything. Everything else about his company had gone back to normal, and he is staying at home or occasionally visits his office. Other than that… he is not doing anything. We could assume that he is still grieving.\"

\"Then… who is it? Who would dare blow up a shipment worth millions?\" he gritted his teeth. He sat on his velvet chair and opened his laptop.

\"We are still investigating. So far… we traced it to a local group in Iran. But it makes little sense. All the findings that we have are either too illogical. Or… too unbelievable.\"

\"Someone is screwing us! Double the security!\"

\"Copy that.\" The man bowed.

\"Also… how is Qin Yuanfeng? Did you tell him that once he does something to infuriate me… I will kill his sister?\"

\"Yes, I did.\"

\"And?\"

\"He promised that he will behave himself for the sake of his sister.\"

\"Good. I asked him to use the satellite and try to trace who was responsible for these attacks. He should be advance enough to know that. Have someone watched him? I don't want any problems this time. I don't want him to send any message to Zhuo Jingren or any other people for that matter.\" Jack clenched his jaws. \"Now… don't forget to ask the doctor a fake recording of an ultrasound. I want to make her believe that she is pregnant.\"

Once again, the man nodded. After a few more orders, the man bid him goodbye. A dark atmosphere immediately shrouded the room once Jack was already alone. He recalled Lily's blank face and slowly, his own face contorted into an ugly scowl. Why was Lily not begging him to let her go? Why does she seem uninterested in Zhou Jingren's actions?

The thought only infuriated him. Does Lily think that she could still leave this place? That she could still be with that man? He narrowed his eyes as he remembered Zhou Jingren's face. The only thing standing between Lily and Jack was that man. That is an undeniable truth.

But, Jack was not here to fail. Lily is the only woman worthy to stand next to him. And he will make it happen.
