Peter and the others echoed, “That’s right, Dad. I don’t believe you would do such a thing.”
Looking at his sons’ steadfast and trusting gazes, Jack lowered his eyes and let out a long sigh.
“Everyone, I’m afraid our family is still unaware that we’ve fallen victim to someone’s scheme this time.
We’ve lost. Listen to me. Now is not the time to exin things. Wait for me. I’ll exin everything to our
country and ept the punishment I deserve. Handle the rest of Fowler Corporation’s matters, and
save enough strength and money for yourselves. Then, bring your mother to Meridonia to stay with
Raymond.
“Remember that no matter what happens, you shouldn’t look back. Don’t worry about me. I can take
care of myself. The one you have to take care of is your mother. Do you understand?”
“What! Dad, are you saying… that something bad will happen?”
“Promise me, Henry. Don’t ask too many questions. If you still believe in me, your father, do as I say.”
Jack interrupted Henry right away.
After mustering all his strength to speak, Jack could not help but cough violently,
Tears rolled down Henry’s face as he clenched his fists tightly. In the end, he could only nod. “I
understand… Dad, I’ll do everything ording to your instructions…”
“Henry…”
Aaron and the others had tears in their eyes. They felt that their world was about to end.
Why did this happen? They thought they were about to move on from the trauma of losing Jane and
that their lives were getting better, but in the blink of an eye, it was as if everything they had built had
copsed and shattered.
What did the Fowler family do wrong? Or had they treated Jane too unfairly? Did their past catch up to
them?
“Be good and listen to me. Listen to Henry. The worst thing I did was not take responsibility for the
company back then. I also mistakenly believed in Madelyn and hurt Jane, kicking Jane out of our
family. Perhaps… I’m the reason why we’ve ended up here. I’m the reason why your mother has
be like this. It’s my karma.
“Now, I have to act”
like a man and bear this responsibility. I can’t hide anymore. This matter has weighed on my heart for a
long time. I knew the day of reckoning woulde, and I couldn’t escape it. What I’m most worried
about is your mother… Only you can save her. Keep your mother safe.
“Henry, go home and go to my study. There’s a safe in there. The password is 386436. Inside, there’s a
sum of money that I have set aside for emergencies. It’s a backup n for our family’s survival. Now is
the time to use it. Take that money and handle our domestic matters. Bring it and look for Raymond.”
“We will… We will, Dad…”
Dwayne and the others were already sobbing uncontrobly.
In just a few days, they had been dealt massive blows, one after another.
Anna had suffered two idents and might remain in aatose state.
Not only was Jack in despair, but he might also be imprisoned for epting bribes.
Henry and the others would never believe that their father, who respected and loved Crucsia the most,
would have his reputation tarnished by such a crime.
But hearing Jack’s tone, it must be true….
They could already sense that… the entire Fowler family would be doomed.
Chapter 456
The Fowler Corporation would also be over.
Jack’s words were also meant to be his parting words for Henry and the others.
Finally, Jack closed his eyes and exhaled again.
He turned around and looked at Anna, who was still unconscious in the ICU. He reached out and
touched the ss window. His eyes were filled with love, yearning, and tenderness.
“Anna, I’m leaving now… I should have left earlier. I’m so sorry… I should have listened to you back
then. Things have gotten to this point. I know I brought this upon myself…
“Perhaps all of this is my fault. God is punishing our family. Come to think of it… I said that I loved you
so much. I said I loved you so much that I was willing to give up my life for you, but there were so many
times I didn’t listen to you, and now we’ve lost Jane. I’ve fallen to such a state and even put you in
harm’s way…
“This time, I won’t run away again. Anna, regret alwayses toote. Unfortunately… At this time, I
can’t stay by your side and take care of you. In the end, I’m still a bad husband. But thankfully, our
children have already grown up. They could protect themselves and look after you.
“Anna, follow our sons to Meridonia. If you wake up one day, please wait for me. You have to wait for
me. When I’m released from prison, I’ll look for you. At that time, we won’t have any more regrets. I
promise.”
After saying that, Jack knew that he had no time left.
He left resolutely.
“Dad!”
Henry and the others still wanted to chase after him.
Jack shouted, “Don’te over. Listen to me. You know what you have to do now. This is my
responsibility alone. It has nothing to do with you. You have to take care of yourselves and your mother.
As long as you are safe and sound, the Fowler family will always be around.”
Everyone stopped.
They endured the intense pain in their hearts, not taking another step forward.
They stood as Jack gradually left, watching his shadow elongated by the lights along the hospital
corridor.
At this moment, the former chairman of Fowler Corporation, the all-powerful businessman Jack Fowler,
seemed to have returned.
The despair and emptiness they saw in Jack had been swept away. A brand new vigor had burst forth.
again.
The police officer stepped forward and cuffed Jack’s wrists with cold metal handcuffs. He covered
Jack’s hands with a ck cloth and said, “Pleasee with us, Mr. Fowler.”
To be fair, the police did not want to believe that Jack would do such a thing. He was the patriotic
entrepreneur who had donated to countless charity projects and elementary schools and established a
foundation to help countless youths realize their entrepreneurial dreams. He had brought the entire
nation to greater heights, making it stand proud and tall.
But… one could never judge a book by its cover.
In the eyes of thew, the only thing everyone could count on was the word “evidence”.
“Okay.”
Jack was resigned to his fate. He strode away.
Or rather…
Jack left, feeling relieved.
Finally, he could remove the thorn in his flesh that had bothered him for a long time.
Even if he could not bear the cost of it all.
However, after experiencing this ordeal, he could finally be truly redeemed.
Recently, too many disasters fell on the Fowler family. Jack had already had a premonition about the
day arriving. He was prepared.
“Dad…”
However, just as Henry and the others seemed to have lost their minds and could not move forward…
No one noticed that…N?velDrama.Org ? content.
Anna, who was in the ICU ward and was diagnosed by the doctor to be in aa, had tears flowing
from her closed eyes.
She wriggled her fingertips with all her might. In between her breaths, she spat out three words with
difficulty.
“Jack… No. Don’t…”
