Chapter 506: Chapter 516: Everything Is With
Jas Brown arrived at the City Center and, after eting with lody Yoody, lody told Jas Brown the whole story.
lody Yoody is said to be a prominent figure of the current generation of the Yawk Family, a key individual nurtured by them. At only twenty-six, she’s already reached the level of Mayor, and soon could move up further, especially with the great support from the W Region for her. Therefore, the Yawk Family highly values the marriage alliance with the W Region and wishes for Michael Wilson from the W Region to marry lody Yoody.
Michael Wilson also favors lody Yoody, which has made the Yawk Family think there wouldn’t be any issues. Who knew that lody Yoody would suddenly reveal she’s pregnant.
If the child were Michael Wilson’s, the Yawk Family wouldn’t mind and would happily let the two get married soon. However, lody Yoody claid that the child isn’t Michael Wilson’s, which has greatly upset the Yawk Family, imdiately urging lody Yoody to get an abortion.
Engaging with other n before marriage is sothing people wouldn’t overly concern themselves with; young people nowadays often find such situations normal. The main point remains who she marries. As long as lody Yoody aborts the child and keeps the matter away from the W Region, it wouldn’t be an issue.
But lody Yoody outright refused to abort the child and even presented her dical diagnosis, which infuriated the elders of the Yawk Family further. If lody Yoody aborts the child, she might not be able to conceive again, and why would the W Region welco such a bride? On the other hand, if she keeps the child, the W Region definitely wouldn’t want lody Yoody as a bride. Even ordinary people wouldn’t want to take such a burden, let alone a prestigious family like the W Region.
Thus, lody Yoody’s marriage alliance with the W Region was considered broken. The Yawk Family, in their anger, naturally wanted to find out who got lody Yoody pregnant.
lody Yoody initially refused to answer, but the elders of the Yawk Family wouldn’t agree to that. How could they allow lody Yoody to give birth to the child of an unknown father? That would be disgraceful for the Yawk Family.
Helpless, lody Yoody had to call for Jas Brown.
“It’s all your fault, you bastard. I don’t care about what’s next. You’re on your own,” lody Yoody said while seated in the passenger seat, glaring fiercely at Jas Brown.
Jas Brown reached out and held lody Yoody’s hand, saying, “No worries, I’ll handle things with your family.”
lody Yoody rolled her eyes at him and replied, “What can you handle? Even Lucy Campbell is counted as your friend, but she’s just a friend. It doesn’t an anything.”
“Do I have to rely on others? Can’t I make your family recognize myself?”
“Go to hell! If you could make my family recognize you, why would we have parted ways before? The people from our family only think of the family’s interests, dreaming of marrying into big families to gain greater benefits. What can you offer to satisfy them?”
lody Yoody spoke without any courtesy, yet Jas Brown didn’t get angry. lody Yoody has always been like this, and without taking offense, he remarked, “Things change. I’m a manager now, aren’t I?”
lody Yoody rolled her eyes again and said, “Your manager title is only good for fooling young girls. To delude the people in our family—isn’t that just daydreaming?”
Jas Brown replied cheerfully, “Then what should I do? I don’t have much to show off.”
“You… I’m really pissed off. I asked you to co to help figure things out, but now you’re completely indifferent. I might as well clear up—I understand now, you’re eager to cut ties so you can peacefully live your little life with your wife.”
At the ntion of this, Jas Brown felt uneasy and laughed dryly, “I didn’t an that. You are the mother of my child—no matter what, I won’t neglect you. Don’t get angry, anger might harm the baby. In our lifeti, we’ll have one such small treasure. I certainly don’t want anything to go wrong.”
What Jas Brown said made lody Yoody feel sowhat relieved. She rolled her eyes at him and said, “At least you’ve got so conscience.”
“How you treat is clear to . With your temperant, being able to tolerate being with Gina is truly remarkable. Don’t worry, I will definitely sort things out with your family and ensure you give birth to this child of ours.”
Not wholly convinced, lody Yoody looked at Jas Brown and asked, “Do you really have a solution?”
“Of course I do,” Jas Brown affird confidently.
lody Yoody stared at Jas Brown and suddenly realized he wasn’t that reckless young boy she rembered. When she had a severe bleeding during an abortion, Jas Brown was terrified then. Now, however, he appeared calm and composed in handling such troubleso matters—very manly.
“Then how will you do it?” lody Yoody asked tentatively.
“I have many solutions. Let’s see how things go.”
“Bragger. If you fail, I’ll just die—two lives with one blow.”
Jas Brown glared at her and said, “Your life isn’t entirely yours. You need my assent to die.”
lody Yoody’s face showed a smile, which grew increasingly radiant. Even if Jas Brown was different from before, she had to admit, she really liked him like this.
lody Yoody brought Jas Brown to a courtyard in the suburbs. Though called a courtyard, it was actually quite expansive. Even being in the suburbs, this was the City Center, and to have such a large space must be quite valuable, showing just how deep the Yawk Family’s roots are.
Jas Brown drove the rcedes that Lucy Campbell left here today. When Lucy was not here, her car was always casually used by Jas Brown.
After entering the large courtyard, lody Yoody led Jas Brown through several courtyards and arrived at a traditional-style courtyard. Just from looking at this place, Jas Brown knew it must be where the most important mbers of the Yawk Family reside.
A middle-aged couple was waiting at the entrance of the courtyard. Upon seeing lody Yoody and Jas Brown approaching, the couple imdiately ca up to them. Jas Brown recognized them; they were indeed lody Yoody’s parents. Although he hadn’t seen them for many years and they were not as young as before, Jas Brown recognized them instantly.
Back then, Jas Brown and lody Yoody were secretly together, trying to avoid them. When Jas Brown finally got beaten up, it was lody’s father who did it. He surely couldn’t forget that.
“Good day, Uncle and Aunt, I am Jas Brown.” Jas Brown directly approached them and greeted them proactively.
Initially, the couple didn’t imdiately recognize Jas Brown. He had grown significantly more robust, and his deanor had changed a lot. However, after closely observing him, they finally recognized him.
“It’s you?” lody Yoody’s parents gave each other a glance, and both of their expressions turned sour.
lody Yoody had never revealed whose child she was carrying. They assud that since lody Yoody was now the Mayor, the people she interacted with must be sowhat influential, and though they may not match Michael Wilson from the W Region, they must have so clout that would allow Yawk Family elders to accept them. But who would’ve thought the father of the child was Jas Brown? This guy, when he was with lody Yoody in the past, had been investigated by them: he was a single guy, with nothing to his na, unsuitable for lody.
The couple only nodded at Jas Brown, and then lody Yoody’s mother pulled her aside, frowning, and said, “What are you doing mixing with this guy again?”
But lody Yoody was no longer that little girl from before. She simply smiled slightly and said, “Mom, your daughter has always liked him. Over the years, I haven’t gotten over it, so I still want to be with him.”
lody Yoody’s mother frowned even more deeply and said, “This is absurd. Have you thought about your status now? You’re the Mayor; your rank will get even higher. You’re from completely different worlds. You were immature before, but now after years in the political field, how co you’re still so naive?”
lody Yoody continued to smile and said, “Mom, people change. The past is the past, and the present is the present. You can’t judge Jas Brown with old eyes.”
“Is that so? What accomplishnts has he made now?”
lody Yoody turned to look at Jas Brown and said, “It’s not about accomplishnts. I just know with Jas, I am happy, while such a political marriage would leave unhappy.”
lody Yoody’s father also coldly looked at Jas Brown and said, “I never thought you’d be together with lody again.”
Jas Brown t the gaze of lody’s father and said, “I need to thank Uncle Johnson.”
lody’s father snorted and said, “Thank ? Don’t be so simple-minded. Don’t think that because lody is carrying your child, I will agree for you to be together.”
Jas Brown shook his head and said, “I thank Uncle Johnson, not because of that. I thank him for beating in the past. If it weren’t for that, I would have kept secretly seeing lody, and perhaps at best gone to an ordinary university, got a degree, and found a diocre job.”
“From the way you speak, it seems you’ve achieved sothing over these years?” lody’s father looked at Jas Brown skeptically.
“Accomplishnts aren’t enough to ntion, but being with lody, I wouldn’t fall too far behind either.”
“That’s quite a claim. Do you know the criteria our Yawk Family has for choosing a son-in-law?”
“I know. The Yawk Family looks for wealth or power, anyone who can bring benefits to the family.”
“You really understand. So tell , what can you bring to the Yawk Family?”
“What I can bring to you is sothing that ordinary families cannot.”
“What arrogance.” lody’s father laughed scornfully. That smile held a hint of ridicule and disdain. As a prominent family in the province, what they sought couldn’t be offered by a young kid. He simply didn’t believe Jas Brown’s words, naturally thinking he was bluffing. Many years ago, because of Jas’s relationship with lody, he resented him, and now disliked his overconfidence even more.
“Cousin, is the person here? Let see what kind of person wants to be my brother-in-law.” With a cheerful shout, an enthusiastic seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl ran out like the wind.
Upon seeing the girl, Jas Brown’s face instantly darkened because it was Little Grace, also known as Sarah Grandy’s best friend. Recently, she had frequently visited Jas’s house, and upon discovering she was lody’s cousin, Jas expected eting her here would be troubleso. But she had the surna “Bailey,” as her mother bore the surna “Yawk.” Typically, she should be at the B Household, but who knows, on his first ti at the Yawk Family’s house, he encountered Emily Bailey, adding a considerable annoyance for him.
