Chapter 229 Who Brought Her Away


    Jackson also thought things over.


    Something then urred into Cherry''s mind, and she turned to Jackson. As she stared at him, she


    asked, "Jackson, what did you do to Jean? What on Earth happened to her? Why has shee back


    to the city?"


    Jackson felt his heart ache when he looked at Cherry''s emotional expression. He didn''t dare to tell her


    the cruel truth about Jean.


    When Cherry noticed that Jackson didn''t say anything, she became even more emotional and


    distressed. She said, "Tell me! Jackson, tell me!"


    Jackson shook Cherry''s arms and tried to calm her down. He said, "Baby."


    She looked at Jackson silently and didn''t say anything more.


    After Jackson saw Cherry calmed down, he slowly said, "Do you really want to know what happened to


    Jean?"


    Cherry nodded, because she realized that she had to know the truth.


    Jackson then slowly loosened Cherry''s arms and turned his head sideways, because he didn''t dare to


    look at Cherry while he told her what had happened to her elder sister.


    Jackson slowly began to say, "Five years ago, after Emily died because of Jean, I wanted to kill Jean


    because I wanted to kill anyone who ever dared to hurt you.


    But Derek advised me that she was your elder sister after all, and that it would be better to have mercy


    to her." Jackson paused for a moment, and then carefully continued, "I considered it for a long time and


    finally sent her to live in the underground world."


    Cherry couldn''t stop shaking her head while Jackson was talking. She knew how the underground


    world looked like. Women in the underground world weren''t ordinary women at all, and men in the


    underground world had fun with money, while the women took advantage of them by sex.


    Jackson continued, "Later, Derek told me that someone had taken her away and had left the city. I


    thought that she wouldn''te back anymore, so I didn''t care where she had gone to."


    Cherry then finally understood why Jackson hadn''t killed Jean at that time. Jackson had spared Jean,


    but in the process humiliated her. Jackson thought that she would nevere back to the city after


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    that, but unexpectedly, Jean had not onlye back, but also seen Joe, their son.


    Cherry suddenly wrapped herself in her arms and curled up to her husband. She said, "Jackson, I''m


    scared!"


    Jackson turned to Cherry, and it pained him to see her frightened face.


    Jackson immediately took Cherry into his arms, andforted her, "Baby, it''s alright, I''m here and I can


    handle her. Don''t worry, everything will be alright."


    Cherry raised her head, and while she looked at Jackson, she said, "I''m afraid that Jean will hurt Joe!


    I''m really afraid!" If Jean were to hurt someone, Cherry would always sacrifice herself for Joe, because


    her son, who was at such a young age, had great potential, and Cherry wouldn''t let anyone hurt him.


    Jackson kept caressing Cherry''s head, andforted her, "It will be alright, and Joe will be fine! Trust


    me, Cherry, everything will be fine!"


    Jacksonforted Cherry, and knew that Cherry was very concerned with unexpected things because


    she hadn''t had any sense of security when she was a child.


    Jackson''s look was firm, and he made up his mind that no one had the right to hurt the people for


    whom he cared the most about, and Jean was no exception.


    After a long time, Cherry gradually calmed down. When Jackson noticed that Cherry became a little


    more serene, he said to her, "Baby, trust me, I''m here and I can handle it; you and Joe will be fine."


    Cherry snuggled up to Jackson''s chest and slightly nodded. She thought that she could indeed rely on


    Jackson.


    Cherry then gently closed her eyes and gradually dozed off in his hug.


    Jackson looked at Cherry and couldn''t help but kiss her forehead. When he noticed that she fell asleep


    safe and sound in his arms, he carefully took her into the bedroom.


    Jacksonid Cherry on the bed and covered her with a nket. He took her hand, kissed its back, and


    then left the room.


    Jackson walked out of the vi and drove away.


    While he was driving, he also called Derek.


    Derek picked up the phone, and with drowsiness clearly heard in his voice, he said, "Hi, Jackson!


    What''s wrong, it''s sote..."


    Jackson ordered him, "Derek, go to Bobby right now! There''s something that we need to handle."


    Derek at first didn''t say a word, but then replied, "Got it!"


    Jackson drove as fast as he could to a private building located in one of the city''s suburbs. The building


    had three floors, and its special architectural style made it look very luxurious. Royal blue sses


    covered the building, and people couldn''t see what was inside, and cameras monitored everything


    around the building. There were special structural styled hidden doors in the building kept away from


    strangers, so that only those who were familiar with them knew where they were.


    After Jackson got out of the car, he saw that Derek also arrived.


    Derek stopped, got out of the car, and then walked towards Jackson. He seriously said, "Jackson, what


    on Earth happened?"


    Jackson coldly said, "Go in first and we''ll talk about itter." He then turned around and walked into the


    building.


    Derek followed Jackson and also walked into the building, closely following him from behind.


    After Jackson and Derek walked out of the elevator, they saw a line of people standing aside it.


    When they saw Jackson, everyone bowed to him and weed him.


    Jackson walked through them and then sat in the middle of the room.


    Derek followed and sat beside Jackson, while all the people around them where on their feet. Bobby


    also made his way through them and walked towards Jackson.


    He calmly asked, "Mr. Jackson, what bothers you toe here sote in the night?"


    Jackson lowered his head and slowly said, "Jean Shen seems to have shown herself."


    After Derek heard Jackson, his face became tense, and he couldn''t help but give Bobby a brief cold


    nce.


    Bobby also looked at Derek, but he didn''t respond to his stare, and instead turned back to Jackson.


    Derek then looked at Jackson, and asked, "Did you see her?"


    Jackson didn''t raise his head, and answered Derek''s question, "Joe saw her."


    Both Derek and Bobby changed their expression when they heard Jackson''s words. They knew deep


    down in their heart what Jackson meant with them.


    Bobby cruelly said, "If she dares to hurt Joe, I''ll kill her with my own hands!" Bobby and his team''s


    mission was to protect Jackson and the people around him, and as long as Jacksonmanded them


    something, he and his team would risk even their own lives to execute his order.


    Jackson then suddenly raised his head, and asked Bobby, "Do you think that she''s afraid of losing her


    life?"


    Bobby looked back at Jackson, but didn''t say anything; he knew what Jackson meant. What do women


    from the underground world even care about? The answer to that question was clear, because those


    women''s lives had already decayed, and they didn''t care about anything anymore, not even about their


    own lives.


    Derek was thinking of something else, and said, "Jackson, I don''t think that''s the point."


    Jackson looked at Derek, and waited for him to detail more about what he was thinking.


    He looked into Jackson''s eyes, and said, "Jackson, you ignored one important aspect: who took her


    away in the first ce?"
