"Could it be that he is depending on the Jesda family in secret? After all, he is even richer than the Alfonso family that he is from." Valnaro's thoughts moved as he tried to think of the possibilities of Jack's wealth.
After thinking for a while, he decided to continue reading all the information that he had received. He had mobilized a lot of force so as to get the detailed information on Jack.
Valnaro's expression became strange as he continued reading the information. At the end, he couldn't help himself but mutter, "It seems that even a beggar is richer than the Alfonso family." He had managed to read the information on how the Alfonso family recently went bankrupt.
They were having debts left and right and they were being threatened of being thrown into prison as they were failing to pay off their debts. In other words, they were in a worse situation at the moment. All their assets had been sold off to pay off the debts that they were having but that wasn't enough.
Leaving aside the information about the Alfonsos, Valnaro shifted his focus to another record that had been added to the report that he was reading. And that was the information on Jack's cash inflow. Valnaro got up to his feet the moment that he read the information.
"So, here is the trick, huh? It seems that he has gotten himself quite a backing. I wonder what he is planning and how he got them to help him out. It's not that easy for someone to join that new rising group. And, all the information about who is the real owner of the group is hidden." Valnaro stated as he thought of something.
"I'll have to get the higher-ups to do something about this. Although we have forged a good relationship with Jack, that's clearly not enough at all." As he said this, Valnaro got out of the room that he was in and decided to go directly to his superiors.
The information that he had found about Jack was something sensitive that had to be taken care of in a way that it wouldn't cause them any future problems.

On the other hand, Jack had arrived in front of the serenity residential area. He had already managed to get some of his cars to come from inchoate city. And amongst them was the Bugatti Veyron. That was the one that he was seated in at the moment.
After entering the area, Jack immediately headed for the first villa of the residential area. He had already informed Moses that he would be here on this particular day. So, the moment that Jack got out of the car in the garage of the villa, Moses was there to welcome him.
Moses was a middle-aged man. Though, one could see that part of his hair had already began turning gray. Perhaps it was due to stress or age, that was something that only Moses knew about.
The moment that he saw Jack, Moses came forward and gave Jack a deep bow. He was grateful that Jack had allowed him to take care of the situation back at home although he had already messed up back at work.
"Hello boss, it's nice meeting you." Moses greeted Jack politely. And although this was the first time that he was meeting with Jack, he had already seen his image when Denali came to pay him a visit after he came back from home.
Jack nodded his head before asking, "Have all things that I requested for done?"
"Yes boss. I have already arranged a group of people who would be in charge of taking care of the villa. Just as you had asked, they would be coming over four days in a week to make sure that everything is in position." Moses nodded as he replied.
Jack was relieved about the situation. He could still clearly remember how hard it was on him to take care of the prince and princess palace back in Inchoate city. At that time, he had ignored the fact that the two mansions were too big for him to take care of them by himself.
In the end, he had paid the price by working himself tired so that he could clean the place. It wasn't until Celine moved in that she helped him in getting some people that would be taking care of the mansions while he was away. This had made him have a week of relaxing before he came to Kartu city.
Now, he wasn't intending to do what he had done back then. This time, he was prepared from the start. He was going to be coming back to the villa so that he could relax and not to tire himself out.
Since everything was already taken care of by Moses, Jack had no further instructions for him. So, he simply dismissed him. As for why he had asked him to be here, it was simply because he wanted to know his subordinate.
After he was left alone, Jack got into the villa. Although he had been here before, he was amazed by the changes that had been made here after they knew that he was going to stay here.
…..
Two days later…
Katelyn was in a bad mood in her office. The reason behind this being the fact that there was someone that she wouldn't have wanted to see in her life if that was possible. The young man that was seated on the chair in front of her had short black hair, a well shaven chin and what's more, he was having a smile that would make whoever it was that was looking at it feel sick.
"What do you want young master Arthur?" Katelyn asked. On her face, there was a smile. But, the smile never reached her eyes. It was obvious that she was forcing herself to smile. But all the same, there was nothing that she could do in the situation that she was in.
"Mrs. Gravy, there's no need to play dumb when you know what it is that I want. But just in case you forgot, I would have to repeat myself again. I want to marry your daughter." Arthur stated.
The smile on Katelyn's face immediately disappeared as if it was never there to begin with. She looked at Arthur coldly as she stated, "You should already know that my daughter is still young and I have got no intention of getting her into marriage at such an early age."
"I knew that you would use this as an excuse to refuse me this time again. But, let me tell you in advance that it won't work." Arthur stated with a smile. He then raised his legs and placed them on the desk, blatantly nit caring about respect at all.
"This time, I want there to be an engagement between the two of us. In this way, there's no way that she would ever run away from me even if you try using age difference to prevent me from getting her." Arthur looked directly into Katelyn's eyes as he stated.
Katelyn on the other hand had her expression turning even colder. She looked at Arthur and decided that she was going to be blunt about it. So, she said, "Perhaps you don't get the meaning behind my words, young master Arthur. What I'm trying to say is that, I'm not giving you my daughter." She made sure to say word per word so that Arthur would be clear about her stance in the matter.
"Hahaha! Arthur laughed out loudly as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world. He looked at Katelyn and asked, "What do you lose by handing over your daughter to me? You know, I can help you get this business of yours to the top in the whole province."
Katelyn also knew that the young man in front of her was nothing simple. He was a popular playboy in the city. Although most of the people didn't know about his background, they all knew that it was nothing that they should mess with.
Katelyn knew all too well that going against him would definitely bring calamity on her business. But, she simply didn't care about that. She wasn't willing to let her daughter get a life that she was simply going to suffer. To her, it was better to have her business destroyed rather than having her daughter's happiness destroyed.
And that was more so after Celine regained her memories about Jack. Although Jack couldn't compare to Arthur in terms of wealth and background, or so she thought, he was someone that could make her daughter smile brightly. That was the smile that she was willing to preserve even if it was going to cost her the company that she had worked so hard to build.
"It doesn't matter the amount of benefits that would come from your deep background. What matters to me the most is to have my daughter having a good life." Katelyn replied.
"I can grant her that kind of life. With the money that I have, I can buy anything I want. So, I can as well tell you that there is nothing, and I repeat nothing that I can´t acquire with money." Arthur stated.
"It might be true on other things but not my daughter. It doesn't matter the amount of money that you have. But, my daughter is not an item that you can buy." Katelyn responded.
"That's too bad though because that doesn't apply to me at all. I can even buy a life with money. So, I would advise you to think carefully about it." Arthur chuckled as he responded.
Katelyn felt a chill in her heart the moment that she heard him say that he could buy a life with money. To say the least, she wasn't expecting that Arthur would really go to that extend just because of her daughter.
But all the same, she held the same resolution in her heart. If her life was what she had to pay so that her daughter would have a good life, then so be it. As long as her daughter didn't fall in the hands of Arthur, she was okay with anything.
She was just about to respond when suddenly, someone knocked at the door. This made Katelyn frown. She had instructed that nobody was allowed to come over as long as she didn't call for them. But now there was someone here?
Before she could shout to chase that person away, the door was opened and someone stepped in. Katelyn panicked the moment that she saw who it was that was here. On the other hand, Arthur removed his legs from the desk and placed them down as he looked at the entrant.
