Chapter 306
"You know better than anyone who Dicky's mother is," Jay said. "And what I'm trying to say is that our
nation's policy dictates that the children or grandchildren of any individual with a criminal record are
forbidden from holding public office. Of course, it doesn't seem likely that Dicky would become a
politician at the moment, but what if things change and our family needs a direct connection? You know
very well why members of the Stuart family are holding public office in that sense."
"Of course, most people are unaware that Cordy is Dicky's mom at the moment, but you know how
cutthroat the political scene gets. Anyone with a blemish in their resume would never keep it under
wraps because their opponents would inevitably ensure that it comes to light."
"And lastly, the most important question of all..." Jay paused for a moment, before continuing, "Do you
really think Johnny would ultimately marry Jessica? Father, were you not compelled by circumstances
when you agreed to the Stuarts' proposal? Johnny did not say no right then and there because he
understands your plight, so why don't you understand his?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDon't let his respect and sentiment toward you burn off for nothing."
Alan's study was silent after that.
Jay waited for a while, but since he was not getting any response, he said politely, ‘I'll be leaving now. I
won't impose any further."
"Jay." Alan suddenly stopped him..
"Yeah."
"You never were incompetent,’ Alan said, acknowledging him right then. "I only stopped you from
working at Levine Ventures because of who you were. It's something the family and I can't abide with."
"And I would never complain about that. I would've starved to death in the streets if you never brought
me here," Jay said, before adding, "And Johnny is special. He's plenty enough to take the weight of our
family. It was a wise decision you entrusted him with Levine Ventures.”
Alan looked up at him then and nodded.
Much had already been decided, and there was no need for lies or deceit.
The phone on Alan's desk suddenly rang, and Lawrence quickly answered it.
He started scowling as the person on the end continued, and he eventually lowered it to tell Alan, "Sir,
they're reporting that Master John is gone."
Alan's eyes narrowed, while Jay appeared a little nervous.
"Shall we instruct them to bring in more people to find him?" Lawrence asked.
Alan hesitated for a moment but eventually said, "Forget it. Let him be."
"Yes, Master Levine." Lawrence replied.
Jay quietly heaved a sigh of relief, and Alan told him, "Go now. I'm tired."
He did not explain himself, but 'let him be' already makes clear his stance.
Jay left the study then and took out his phone.
However, he lowered it just before he made the call.
To Zoe, he was better off dead.
Zoe was certainly throwing a major tantrum in Quinn's office, and she had been ranting about Jessica
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe entire afternoon.
"I'm dying here! I mean, how could she be this heinous? How?! She always looks so cheerful, lively,
and not calculative at all, but it turns out that she's rotten from the inside! I know there's no one perfect
in this world-hell, the more flawless they seem, the more hypocritical they are!"
Quinn was actually impressed by Zoe's spirit then. Did she not tire?!
She heard that the reality TV program Zoe had been filming lasted until 2 AM. Then, Zoe woke up at 7
AM and went to another studio. That session lasted until 12 PM and she had lunch in the car, rushing
to catch her flight back home. It was very much possible that she did not sleep on the plane, and it was
now two hours since she arrived at Quinn's office, ranting and rambling endlessly without stopping to
breathe.
But just as Quinn was about to turn and tell her to take a break, she saw that Zoe was already on the
couch, asleep with her mouth hanging wide open.
Quinn could even hear faint snoring, and she smiled.
Zoe would have been such a carefree, cheerful child if she never met Jay.
She brought Zoe a blanket and was about to tuck her in when the door suddenly opened.
Quinn turned to find Sam and Jay entering together.
