Trap me in your love

Chapter 37 I Can Help You! But It's Conditional

When Jessie arrived home, the butler saw her and tried to stop her. She pushed him away and rush to the study.

"Dad, how can you take Daniel..."

When Jessie rushed in, Darren's face darkened. He scolded, "Don't you know the rules? Don't you know to knock the door first?"

"I... Dad, I'm sorry..."

Darren waved his hand and said, "Never mind. You go out first. We can talk later."

"Dad, but I have something important to talk to you."

"Don't you see that I have something to talk with your father-in-law? How dare you! Get out!"

Darren stressed the tone with a face full of displeasure.

Jessie glanced at Nelson. Now she was too anxious to take care of anyone.

Daniel's life was more important than anything else!

Looking at Nelson, she said, "Father, I'm sorry. I really have something very important to ask my father. I'm afraid I need only two minutes to talk to him. I will leave as soon as I finish my words."

After seeing Nelson nodded, she turned to Darren, "Dad, are you going to send Daniel to a place called MR?"

Darren's face changed dramatically. MR? How could she know?

Nobody knew this except him and Nelson. Where did she get the news?

He took up the teacup and took a sip. With a calm expression on his face, he said, "MR? I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Don't you understand?" Jessie looked at him. He had a cunning face. Although he looked calm, Jessie could feel a surge of murderous will surging in his eyes.

Jessie was sure that he did that. She knew her father very well.

"Dad, Daniel is your only son. You have been indifferent to him since childhood and have ignored him as nobody. Why did you send him to that kind of place? I know you used to look forward to his birth. Although he has a defect, he is your biological son anyway. How could you be so cold-blooded! Even though you don't want him, you can't let him die."

The next second, she was slapped hard in the face.

That didn't surprise Jessie much.

She had already expected this as she came here today to question him.

She would do this for Daniel, even though she might be beaten to death by Darren.

Darren's eyes were wide open, and his hands were shaking. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"I'm cold-blooded? Jessie, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking about. You want to help your mother and your brother to bring down the Lin family so that you can avenge your mother, right? I tell you, never!" If you hadn't conspired with others to seize the Lin Group, I wouldn't send Daniel there? I tell you, it's all your fault that Daniel becomes like this."

"I didn't!" Jessie clenched her fists and argued loudly, "I hate you, but I never want seize anything from you. No matter how you treat mom or Daniel, I just want them to live a good life. I don't care about the Lin Group or the Lin family at all, and I will not play dirty tricks to seize them!"

"You don't care, right? Fine, I'll call the lawyer now. Don't say that. If you have guts, just give them all back!"

"I'm okay if you want, but get Daniel back first. After making sure his safety, I will return to you all of them."

"You... How dare you make a deal with me? Okay, you want to piss me off? I'll beat you to death today... You... How dare you threaten me! You dare!"

After several decades of struggling in business, Darren had got used to being a sophisticated businessman. He hated most to be threatened by others. Now his daughter even threatened him in front of others. He was even more irritated by his daughter's threat. He was so furious that he kept looking for his long whip in his study.

Standing there, Jessie could do nothing but watch how Darren was looking for the whip everywhere. There was not a trace of fear on her face.

It was a stalemate and no one was willing to make a concession.

Nelson looked at them silently. He stood up and walked to Darren. He persuaded, "Darren, stop it. There is no need to argue with the kids. Jessie was just worried about her brother. Just stop it."

"Nelson, you know what, she just doesn't understand what I'm doing. She always thinks that I only treat my little daughter well and don't treat her, her mother and Daniel well. I really felt sad. Look at her! She even dared to threaten me... I feel..."

Darren sighed, as if he was the victim who suffer the most.

"Yes, you are right. She is still young and doesn't understand much. I'll talk to her. Have a rest first." Then, Nelson went to Jessie and said, "Jessie, let's go for a walk in the garden."

Jessie looked at him for a long time and nodded.

"Okay."

In the garden, Jessie was sitting, clenching her fists anxiously.

It was her first time to stay alone with Nelson. Ever since she got married with Mark, they often met in the restaurant, and they seldom had dinner together, let alone face to face.

Nelson looked at her and leaned against the chair. He said sincerely, "Jessie, take it easy. I just want to accompany you as my daughter to have a talk. Don't be too nervous."

Jessie said, "I know I was too impulsive just now and was too rude, but I really didn't do it on purpose. When Daniel was a child, he was sent abroad. Although he has a physical defect, I have only one brother. Therefore, when I heard that he was going to be sent to that place, I must be anxious, so just now... "

"I know how you feel. But no matter what, you have to watch your tone. No child can speak to their father in that way. Besides, since you don't want the Lin group or the Lin family, why don't you give it back to your father? You should know that it took his whole life's painstaking efforts. People, though struggling all their lives for the children and the family, were still like their own children, and they were not willing to be taken away by anyone. Take me for example, although my family is very wealthy and my children will inherit in the future, I still have to assign a good one to inherit my career, right? I think you should understand why Darren was angry."

Jessie nodded to Nelson, as if she was still the considerate child.

However, she started to doubt the intention of Nelson's words.

"It's my fault for what happened today. But you know that my father is a stubborn man. He won't listen to me no matter what I say. Father, could you please help me to persuade my father not to send my brother away?"

"This..."

Jessie looked at Nelson beseechingly. She didn't expect him to help her, because the old man in front of her was much more insidious and cunning than Darren. She just wanted to have a try.

However, Nelson knew clearly about the tricks Jessie played. He already knew clearly that she was pretended to be obedient.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I can help you persuade Darren not to send your brother away, but on one condition."

Sure enough, there was no such thing as a free lunch!

After a long time, his conspiracy was finally unveiled.

With a pair of bewildered eyes, Jessie looked at Nelson. Seeing her innocent face, Nelson sneered and said, "Don't look at me like this. Jessie, you are a smart child, and you know what I want to say."
