Chapter 58 Bring Him Back!

Alton shifted his gaze to Dalton as he spoke with a smile on his face, "Your youngest son."

Alton's words were like an explosive in the hearts of all those present. There was not a single person among them that didn't know the fact that Jack had been expelled from the family almost a week ago.

And now, surprisingly, the person that was supposed to be engaged was the same person that they didn't like or had no impression about whatsoever. This came like a huge tide that swept away all the happiness and expectation that they had within them.

They were currently in a dilemma on what to do now. Jack had already been expelled and was no longer considered a member of Alfonso family. If they said this to the old man, he would probably be furious with them and end up punishing this family of theirs by suppressing them.

Or, he might as well give up on the fact that he'd come here for an engagement. If he left, the easy path to success that was waving at them excitedly a moment ago would wave goodbye at them the next moment. This was something that they absolutely couldn't accept at all.

On the other hand, if Jack came back and was engaged to the young lady here, he would definitely have power, and be stronger than his father in terms of authority. And, it would be no surprise that he would be the future family head of Alfonso family.

In that case, all those that had been suppressing and mistreating him since childhood would surely face the music. After all, it was true that they had made his life difficult.

At his age, all the young generation of the family had been given something to do. But, Jack on the other hand was left alone. After graduation the previous three months, he was just there, idle or doing whatever he wanted.

Of course, the whatever he wanted never included anything that involved Alfonso family's influence. In other words, whatever he was doing never concerned them.

Now, if Jack really got engaged, he surely would be able to get back at them. Just this thought made them shiver.

Alton and his granddaughter immediately noticed that something wasn't right with everyone's expression. This made them confused. Was there a problem with Jack, or had what he had just said not been heard?

Victor panicked for a moment and stared at Dalton with a murderous gaze. Dalton on the other hand was already drenched in cold sweat. He had never cared about this son of his. He was the only one in the entire family that had suffered in the hands of fellow family members.

Even during his childhood, he was never there for him. Jack had depended on his mother till he matured early. Now, as he left the family, Dalton decided to use this chance to expel him from the family to clear his image off of the dark spot.

Who knew that this was going to be his biggest mistake as well as regret? The black spot was actually a big opportunity for him? Now, not only would he have to face his father's wrath, but, he had to look for a method to bring Jack back to the family.

"What's going on here? Where's Jack?" Alton couldn't help but ask at this moment. His expression didn't look that good at all. After all, according to what he had thought, the moment that he mentioned that it was Jack who would have his granddaughter as his fiancée, not only would Jack get excited, but his father would be extremely happy and proud.

In the end, everyone's expression was completely opposite of how it was supposed to be! How could he not be furious considering the fact that even the one that was getting engaged with his granddaughter wasn't present at the scene.

"I'm sorry about that master Alton. The truth is that currently, Jack is out of the city." Victor managed to squeeze out a smile on his wrinkled old face, that made him look ugly.

Alton frowned the moment that he heard this. Even the lady beside him showed a disappointed expression at this moment.

Alton wasn't from a big family for nothing. He had experienced a lot more to be able to maintain his family's position as one of the top families. So, he could tell at a glance that things were not that simple.

Furthermore, he had already investigated about Jack the moment that his granddaughter mentioned about him. He found that, the boy had good looks, a strong will and was quite hardworking and smart. Apart from the issue of him not being treated well in the family, there was nothing that was wrong about Jack in the old man's eyes.

The information that he had on him was till Sunday, the day before Jack left Crystal city. At that time, he thought that he had gathered enough information and decided to stop investigating him.

"Can he get here at a short time?" Alton asked after noticing the disappointment on his granddaughter's face. He wanted to fulfill his granddaughter's wish, which was to marry Jack.

He hadn't come to this decision without thinking things through. His granddaughter, whom he dotted on so much, told him that she liked a young man that she had encountered before.

She was serious about being married to him. As a result, he tried advising her not to be rash. In the end, due to her stubborn nature, he had no choice but to investigate Jack. After finding out that he wasn't bad, he decided to come on this day when he was free.

So, there was no way that he could accept the fact that he had wasted his time for nothing. He had to make sure that his granddaughter was happy. As for Jack, as long as he accepted, no, there was no need for him to accept, he had already decided that he was the one going to marry his granddaughter, he was going to give him support to develop himself.

With his brilliance, he was sure that he would be able to develop faster. Furthermore, he would have to be the family head of Alfonso family to have a status that could barely qualify to be matched to his granddaughter.

Alton's question made Victor almost helpless. After all, they had already expelled Jack from the family. But, after thinking about the things that would happen if this engagement was successful, he gritted his teeth and looked at Dalton who was seated beside him.

"Hurry up and go and fetch that son of yours right at this moment. You better hurry up and bring him back as soon as possible, don't you keep master Alton waiting or I won't forgive you!" Victor spoke with a low voice. But, his voice contained undeniable command.

Dalton nodded his head repeatedly before standing up. After bowing to Alton and the young lady, he rushed out of the mansion. He headed towards the helipad where the helicopter that was used for emergency situations was.

He brought alongside him three men and the stunned and pale Steve. He was in a hurry as sweat continued trickling on his forehead as if he had just finished toiling a whole acre of land.

After getting into the helicopter, he immediately shouted, "Get Us to inchoate city as soon as possible!"

"Yes boss!" The pilot responded before starting the helicopter that flew towards Inchoate city at the highest possible speed.

...

Jack had no idea about what had just occurred at the Alfonso mansion nor did he know that he was about to get engaged to someone. Furthermore, his father was coming for him personally.

He just sat there on the couch while waiting for his call to connect. Not long after, a feminine voice came through.

"SkyFlight Charters here, may I know to whom am I speaking to and what kind of assistance would you like?" The lady asked.

"Hello, my name is Jackson. I wanted to hire a pilot of your organization. His name is Gabriel Wadi." Jack stated.

"From when do you want him?" The lady asked.

"From tomorrow," Jack replied.

"A moment please," the lady said and a moment later, Jack could here the sound of a person tapping the keys of a keyboard.

Jack didn't have to wait for long as the lady spoke again, "I'm sorry sir but pilot Gabriel Wadi has already been booked for tomorrow. He will only be available next week. Can you choose another person or may I recommend one to you?"

Jack frowned the moment that he heard this. He had been to SkyFlight Charters website and hadn't found anyone that impressed him as Gabriel. But now, he was going to fly another person's plane? No way, he had to get this person to be his personal pilot!

At the thought of this, he said, "No matter what the price, I want him to fly me tomorrow. Just name it."

The lady seemed surprised by the fact that Jack wanted only this person to fly his aircraft. She thought to herself, 'What's the difference between pilot Gabriel and the other experienced pilots? There's even an experienced pilot than him that's available!'

Anyway, she didn't dare to say these words out loud as it may sound rude to a customer. In return, if the person filed a complaint about her, she surely would be punished by the upper management.

"Mr Jack, you'll have to understand the situation. It's not that we don't want to have pilot Gabriel Wadi flying you, it's just that he was booked last month for tomorrow. So, it's impossible for us to cancel it." The lady said helplessly.

Even Jack knew that it might not be possible for such a big helicopter charter company to cancel bookings that had been made by other customers. But, he was just too stubborn for this.

"Why don't you just change the pilot for the one that did a booking? There are other pilots that are free at the moment, right?" Jack asked.

The lady was really helpless here. So, she could only reply by saying, "I… I'll have to consult my manager first. Please, don't hung up."

"Okay," Jack nodded and decided to wait for her to do the consultation.
