Chapter 176 Hidden Truth
"What's good mom? Are you agreeing to the relationship between the two of us?" Celine asked as her eyes shone.r
"No, it's good that you only recently met because I'm not agreeing to that relationship of yours. Just a month, I'm sure that love hasn't developed between the two of you yet." Katelyn replied.r
Bruce raised his brows as he looked at his wife. Before he could speak, Celine spoke first. "What? Mom, what are you talking about?"r
She was so shocked that her mother would actually be the first person to not agree to the relationship that she had just started with Jack. What was even more disturbing to her was the fact that her mother had actually disagreed before she could even see Jack.r
"I said that I'm not going to agree to the relationship between the two of you. It's not that I don't care about your feelings, but you just can't be with that boy at all." Katelyn replied seriously.r
"You haven't seen the boy and neither do you know about him. So, why don't you tell us why you don't want the two of them together?" Bruce asked.r
"As I have said, it's not that I don't care about her, but I have my own reasons as to why I can't agree to this. So, you'll have to bear with me." Katelyn replied.r
"But mom, I can't agree to this!" Celine shouted. She had great feelings for Jack. And although it was true that they had only recently met, the feelings that were in her heart could be compared to those that had been nurtured for years.r
"Even if you don't agree, you'll still have to stop seeing him the same way. Even if you can continue as friends, I don't mind. But, there will be nothing more than just that." Katelyn replied.r
"Humph!" Celine harrumphed before running upstairs, tears welling up in her eyes. It was obvious that she couldn't agree to this. She had just gotten together with Jack and hadn't even enjoyed her love yet. But now, her mother was actually telling her that she had to give up on this love of hers.r
Seeing Celine leaving, Bruce shook his head and looked at Katelyn, waiting for her explanation.r
Seeing that her husband was looking at her, Katelyn sighed and spoke. "This is the only way. You should know that there are things that I have yet to tell her and neither have I told you because I promised to keep it a secret."r
"In real sense, this is for the best. I'm sure that the relationship that she's currently in won't be good for her once the truth is revealed. So, you will have to wait till she turns twenty. A month after that, I will tell her what to do." Katelyn explained.r
Bruce's brows furrowed deeply when he heard his wife's words. He could tell that there was a big mystery behind her words. But since she hadn't told him about it, he knew that even if he asked, she wouldn't tell him.r
"Okay then. I trust you this time." Bruce nodded. Then as if thinking about something, he asked, "What about that young man called Arthur? Could all this be related to him?"r
"Arthur is a different case that is quite tricky for us to resolve. But in any case, these two are completely different things." Katelyn shook her head as she replied.r
"I hope that he won't go far in case he sees that Celine is together with that young man." Bruce stated before turning his attention back to the documents.r
"Yeah, you should have seen him. How's the boy that has attracted Celine's attention?" Katelyn asked curiously.r
"He's good from the way that I see him. And, I can tell that he's not a simple young man if he can get Celine to actually be with him." Bruce replied.r
"Huh." Katelyn nodded before shifting her attention back to the laptop and continued doing what she was doing before. Although she was curious about Jack, she wasn't interested in knowing him if there was no chance.r
....r
Jack who was on his way out of the community had no information that, on the same day that he had decided to be with Celine, his supposed mother-in-law to be had actually disapproved of the relationship between him and Celine.r
But if he knew, and if he found that his mother actually had said nothing about him being with any girl, then Jack could as well make his mother-in-law to approve the relationship between the two of them.r
Some secrets that would need time? Well, you can continue waiting while the two of us continue loving each other. That was something that Jack would have thought about.r
As long as Celine decided, then not even her mother would make him give up on her.r
As he took calm steps towards the entrance, he hummed tunes of some of his favorite songs. Since the community was big and Celine's family villa was quite in, it would need around thirty minutes for Jack to reach the entrance.r
As he was walking, he suddenly saw that there was a car that seemed to be out of control. Jack frowned and moved further to the side. But, the car kept on following him.r
No matter how he tried getting out of the way, the car followed wherever he went. It seemed that the owner of the car only wanted to hit him or something.r
Since the speed of the car wasn't slow, Jack wasn't given the option to try dodging several times. So, when the car got closer to him and was about to knock him, Jack used his incredible reaction speed to move away before allowing the car to get past him.r
Looking at the somehow familiar Ford GT, Jack frowned. This car seemed familiar to the one that he had met when he first came to Kartu city.r
It hadn't gotten far when it stopped. Then, the door of the car opened. A familiar figure staggered out of the car. It was obvious that this guy wasn't sober. But, he had somehow managed to come to this area without getting involved in an accident.r
"You idiot! Don't you have eyes to see where you are going to?" The guy asked.r
Jack now remembered who this guy was. This was actually the guy that had nearly hit him with his car back then when he had decided to stroll Kartu city on foot.r
In the end, this guy had asked for a compensation of $100,000. He was the one that had ignored the traffic lights and nearly had someone else involved. But in the end, he was shameless enough to try to get the victim to pay up.r
He had actually forgotten about the issue due to the fact that he was busy with other things. But now that he was seeing this stupid young master again, it seemed that he would have to see this father of his first.r
Without waiting for this guy to continue spouting any more nonsense, Jack went forward and punched him in the face, breaking his nose.r
The young master that hadn't been expecting to get hit, wailed on the ground as he held his nose that was already bleeding. He screamed in pain as he sobered up.r
Jack snorted as he looked at the screaming young master. Although he knew that since this guy was here, this had to be his community as well, Jack didn't care. How could he allow some nobody to simply call him an idiot?r
Since this guy dared to try hitting him with a car, Jack might as well beat him up and show him that there were some people that couldn't be messed up with.r
The young master struggled and got to his feet and pointed his finger at Jack. "You, a mere delivery service worker, you dare to hit this young master?"r
Before he managed to finish what he was saying, Jack had already arrived in front of him as he punched him again in the guts. This time, he wasn't lenient at all.r
The poor young master had his back smashed onto the car due to the force that Jack had applied on the punch that he had thrown.r
Before he could scream a lot, he felt the collars of his shirt being held. Then, he was pulled up from the ground.r
What followed next was a heavy rain of slaps on the guy's face. Although Jack had actually punched his face before, his target was only the nose. But this time, the cheeks of this guy began turning red before they swelled up.r
After that, the guy began loosing several of his molars. This was the punishment that Jack had decided to administer.r
Jack then dropped the guy onto the ground as he headed for the Ford GT. Then, with a stomp of his foot, the bumper of the car was deformed.r
"What are...you doing? You...you dare to shmash my car? You wiy yigyet it!" The young master whose cheeks were now swollen as of he had just stuffed a few apples inside them shouted in anger.r
(You dare to smash my car? You will regret it!)r
Jack ignored him and continued with the smashing. And in no time, the car had turned into scrap metal.r
This time, the young master had no words to say. After all, he had just seen a man wreck a car with just his kicks and stomps. This was inhumane according to his thoughts.r
The loud screaming added with the sound of a car being hit attracted the attention of the guards that were still chatting about what they had seen.r
As they rushed to the scene, they were stunned by what they saw. The car that had just gone past them not long ago had already been turned into scrap metal.r
The young master who was always lofty and high, the one that looked down on them, was now on the ground, unrecognizable. Well, what they could use to recognize him was only the clothes that he was wearing as that was something that they had seen him with.r
"What is going on here?" One of the guards asked.r
Seeing the guards, the young master's eyes lit up. He immediately got to his feet and went to hide behind them as he pointed towards Jack. "That.... That guy over there beat me up...and shmashed my car! Beat him up!" He shouted. Though, having lost a few of his teeth, his speech was quite childish.r
The guards couldn't help but disdain the young master. At other times, he would be lofty in front of them. But now that he had found his match, he was actually cowering in fear and seeking for protection from them, the lowlifes as he always referred to them.r
"Wait, isn't this the guy who was with the young miss not long ago?" One of the guards asked.r
"That seems to be the case." Another replied.r
"Could there be a misunderstanding?!" Another asked.r
Before they could continue speculating, Jack took out his phone and called Denali.r
"Hello boss!" Denali greeted.r
"Can you contact Dickson of GVSL to get to the gates of his community right now?" Jack asked.r
"Yes boss. I'll do it right away." Denali replied before ending the call.r
