The Robin Hood Society

"Ha! Mom nice try but that's not going to happen." it was Jacob who became alerted after he heard Madam Kelly indirectly tried to convince J to stay and live with them.

"Y-you! At least stay for the night okay?!" Madam Kelly said becoming furious with Jacob.

Leticia who was sitting on the sofa with the twins is smiling while shaking her head listening to her mother and brother's argument.

While J who was still standing felt mixed emotions. Being surrounded by a family is new to her. Although they were bickering over simple things it is better than what she has. Loneliness filled her heart.

Jacob noticed the gloominess in J's face so he approached her and asked, "Hey, are you okay?" with a worried tone.

J was startled and said, "What? Y-yes I'm fine." but Jacob was not convinced.

"Okay, dinner's ready. Let's go to the dining. Your father and Mark have been waiting for us." Madam Kelly exclaimed leading them to the dining room where they found Chairman John and another man sitting in the bar talking about politics.

"Come here Jenny, I'll introduce you to your father in law and brother in law." Madam Kelly grabs J's wrist and drags her to the two men.

"This is your father-in-law. You already met him at your apartment. And this is Mark Sloane, he is Leticia's husband. He's a politician. And this is Jenny Do-Parker. Of course, she is the wife of Jacob so she is now a Parker." Mark Sloane was aghast but that was just quick that J wasn't sure if the others noticed it but she did as she was very observant of the people around her. And that quick reaction from Mark Sloane didn't escape her watchful eyes. She reminded herself to call Lance later to find out about Mark Sloane.

J smiled as she reached out her hands to them politely.

They were already devouring the delectable dishes that Madam Kelly prepared for them when they heard a high-pitched voice echoed around the mansion. "I'm home! Where's everybody?"

A cute girl with a bobcat hair wearing a pink floral dress enters the dining room. "Wow, everybody's here. This is a rare event. Sister in law must be special." She said enthusiastically. J looked at the lively girl and thought that she looks familiar. She tried to remember where did she saw this girl. Jacob who is sitting on her left side leaned closer to her and said, "She's my younger sister. She's a famous singer." That's right, J already saw this girl in television and billboards. No wonder she is familiar to her.

"Oh, Lilybeth honey! You said you can't make it." Madam Kelly who is sitting on her right side stood up to meet the newcomer and gave her a hug.

"Well, surprise!" the girl exclaimed. Then she gave everyone a hug. Lastly, she came to J and said, "So you are my sister in law who, unfortunately, I mean fortunately got married to my brother? Oh, brother, you got such a gorgeous wife here. I can't wait for grandfather to find me a handsome husband." she chuckled at her last words. J stood up to return her hug. "My name is Lilybeth, that's what my mother calls me but I prefer Lily." she smiled at her which J returned gaily before introducing herself.
