The Robin Hood Society

"Stop acting like a rapacious landlord coveting for anything that belonged to the others. The heiress is not yours, to begin with, so why should I return her to you? She is in a place where she belongs and would want to belong." Elder Parker retorted back as if what Jack Ogden said was hilarious.

Jack Ogden snickered. "You talk like you are not greedy as well. Aren't you? When Alexander offered you an arranged marriage with his granddaughter, you immediately seize hold of the opportunity. You know how golden it is. The opportunity to take over the Robin Hood Society in the future if your grandson got married to the heiress. I know that's what you've been thinking back then that's why you accepted that offer even thou you know about Alexander's promise to me."

Jacob remained expressionless thou he is wondering as well, is that the reason why his grandfather accepted the offer?

"You know that I already found out about the heiress, I will seek for Alexander to fulfill his promise to me that he will marry his granddaughter to my grandson. But the two of you went behind my back and married them off even without their knowledge." Jack Ogden continued on accusing Elder Parker.

"If Jenny was promised to you, then why didn't you talk about it to Elder Do earlier?" Jacob asked.

"Because Alexander hides her existence. He kept her hidden, no one knows about the heiress. He was deliberately hiding her from me. When Martin and Victoria died on that ambush, he got more reason to hide her from everyone, he even sent her abroad. Alexander was already dead when I found out about her existence. And the Elites also started to found out about her and started to hunt her down. But it was Alex who found her but by that time, she was already married to you."

It was obvious that Jack Ogden wasn't aware that Martin and Victoria Do were still alive.

"Old Jack," Elder Parker leaned in a more comfortable position on the sofa to make Jack Ogden more pissed at him. "I am not as greedy as you. I already have the hospitals and the Twelve Army, a reputation, and a name that would make everyone feel repressed. Everyone would want to be married to my family. Even the President. Why would I want my family to be dragged down by the messy life that Alexander put on his granddaughter?"

"Grandfather!" Jacob hissed at him. But Elder Parker waved his hand at him indicating that he is not done yet.

"He founded the Robin Hood Society even thou he knows that it will only harbor animosity and risk of death to him and his family. His son and daughter in law died, then he died later on. Putting her granddaughter's life at risk. Although he had kept the heiress's existence a secret, he knew that one day or another, her existence will be exposed."

Elder Parker smirk then he continued. "Who in their right mind would want to be married to her?"

Alex Ogden and Jacob both had a grim expression on their face. No one would want to be married to J unless they have ulterior motives. And those are people with evil intentions. Well except if the person is really in love with J.

Just like Alex and Jacob. They loved her too much that they were willing to risk anything to protect her. They would even willing to go against their grandfather's words if that means that J would be away from imminent danger.

"Now let me tell you what a real promise is." Elder Parker continued. "When Jenny was born, Alexander started to worry about her. So a couple of days after she was born, he talked to me."

30 Years Ago

"Congratulations, I've heard about your daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter," Benjamin said and noticed the worried look on Alexander's face.

"How did you know about that?" He asked because they kept Victoria's pregnancy a secret. No one knows about it. So her giving birth to a girl is a secret as well. Thou he told Benjamin about his daughter-in-law's pregnancy, he hasn't told him that she already gave birth and to a baby girl.

"Hey! Have you forgotten who you are talking to? Don't fret, only I know about it." Benjamin eventually pacifies his friend who looks disconnected in front of him.

"Good," Alexander replied. His gaze was still unfocused.

"Something tells me that it has something to do why you wanted to talk to me," Benjamin stated what he thought was obvious.

"Yes." Alexander tapped his point finger at the handle of his armchair. "I'm worried about her." The creases on his forehead deepened.

"You are worried about nothing," Benjamin said thou he is amused because this is the first time that he saw his friend getting worried like that.
