Zeke, the eldest son of the Jacobs family, was adored by the family’s elders.
Although the Jacobs were not as powerful as California's four great families, they had grown rapidly in
Los Angeles over the previous two years.
They could be considered to be very powerful in the city.
Zeke returned home that day and explained the situation to his family.
After hearing his son's statements, his father, Nelson, scolded him sternly.
"Zeke, you really are dumb.I sent you to this school to give you a good starting point for your future
advancement, at the same time, I want you to make more friends in school.But what did you do? You
have ruined your reputation for this minor benefit!"
Zeke only sat silently and did not respond.He was well aware of his father's volatile temper.He was a
man with a short fuse.
As a result, if Zeke responded to him, the situation would simply worsen.
Thus, Zeke chose to remain silent until he was asked to speak.He needed his father's assistance to
resolve this issue.
All he could do now was lower his head and bear his rage.
He had already received word that Melody and her group were not going to let them go when he left
the school today.
They had already turned in all the evidence they had gathered to the school and the principal was
already aware of the situation and was enraged.He quickly requested a leave of absence to return
home.
Mr.Alberts, the principal, also needed time to verify the authenticity of the evidence, and what Zeke had
to do now was to suppress this matter before it became public.
Mrs.Jacobs couldn't stand the sight of her son being reprimanded, so she went to Zeke's grandfather
Oliver for assistance.
Oliver slammed his cane to the ground and glared at Nelson.
"You're so stupid.How could you not know what kind of personality your son has? To think that he
would do such a thing.If this continues, then he'll become nothing but a scapegoat.The Jacobs family
had plenty of money, and Zeke as the only son had even more.He received all of the resources and
wealth available.How could a proud child do something like that? When he heard Nelson scolding his
son, Oliver realized that Nelson had become blinded by rage.
"You need to have foresight if you want to see through the crux of this matter!"
Oliver continued scolding Nelson.
Nelson could only accept Oliver's accusations obediently and did not dare to respond.
After Oliver finished speaking to Nelson, he turned to Zeke with an angry expression on his face.
"Tell me just who you are protecting in that school.I'll call Mr.Alberts and clean this mess of yours up!"
Zeke pursed his lips and didn’t say a word.
He had promised Reagan that he would keep her safe, so he couldn't say anything.
Zeke knew that even if he wouldn't mention Reagan's name right now, once this matter was exposed
and was thoroughly investigated, Reagan would still be uncovered.
This was why he could not, under any circumstances, allow this to happen.
Reagan was so sweet and innocent that Zeke had to protect her.
Oliver was more aware of his grandson's behavior than Nelson was.
He knew that since his grandson had displayed such an attitude, it would be even more impossible for
his grandson to confess now.
"Alright, if you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it," Oliver said glancing at Zeke.
Nelson immediately shut his mouth in response to Oliver's command.No one in Jacob's family dared to
defy Oliver.
Nelson looked at Zeke again after his nagging and changed his ways of asking Zeke, "Tell me, what
happened? Who did this to you?"
Oliver was very clear about what kind of ability his grandson had.
His grandson would not come to his house if the other party did not have a certain background.
A child, like Zeke who was normally so arrogant, would not easily bow his head.
Zeke was also aware that he had to explain the situation now, or else his grandfather would refuse to
help him.
He then told them what happened in school.
When Oliver heard Zeke's story, he nodded and asked, "So it is the Sullivan and the Harrison families?"
"Yes, Grandpa, but the most important thing is still Melody Sullivan.Lance always listens to her.This
matter will be easy to resolve as long as Lance deals with Melody!"
"Is Melody the child who just returned from the Sullivans?" Oliver inquired.
"Yes, It is her!" Zeke said, nodding.
"That's good!" Oliver nodded.
Oliver initially believed that Zeke had offended the Harrisons.
Even though Lance was not a direct descendant of the Harrisons, he had been raised by Benjamin all
these years, after all.
He was raised essentially as Benjamin's grandson.
Although the Jacobs family had some power, it was insufficient to deal with the Harrison family.
Offending the Harrisons would be a major issue.
The Sullivan family, on the other hand, despite being one of the four large families, Quince Sullivan
prioritized his own interests.
Everything would be negotiable as long as he was given enough benefits.
The point was that Melody was a wild child who had just returned from the countryside.She could not
even be considered the Sullivan family's true noble lady.
Quince would most certainly not offend the Jacobs family for the sake of Melody.
It was a choice between the one who was regarded as a jinx and the only heir of the Jacobs family.
If Quince wasn't stupid, he knew how to make a decision.
Nelson received a direct order from Oliver.
"You accompany Zeke to the Sullivans, explain the situation to Quince, and see what he can do about
it!"
"Yes, father!"
At the Sullivan Family.
Nelson unexpectedly brought his son to the doors of the Sullivan family mansion, which confused
Quince.
He had little contact with Jacob's Family, and even if the Jacobs family wanted to discuss cooperation,
they didn't have to necessarily come to the Sullivan family mansion.
Quince quickly put down his work and greeted the guests.
Nelson was a straightforward person.
When he entered the house, he immediately explained the reason for his visit to Quince, without giving
any formalities.
Quince initially thought it was a big deal, but he didn't expect it to be just two children causing trouble at
school.
When he heard it, he couldn't help but laugh.
"President Jacobs, it's such a small matter, but you even came here personally.I’m flattered." Quince
stated flatly.
"President Sullivan, would you think that this is a small matter if it happened to your son?"
Nelson asked Quince, his face solemn.
In both Nelson and Quince's perspectives, a daughter and a son were not the same.
Whether it was the Sullivans or the Jacobs family, both would be inherited by their sons in the future.
The Jacobs family heir's reputation was not insignificant.
Thinking that he had suffered a loss, Nelson directly threw out his cards.
"Mr.Sullivan, this is our Jacobs family's fault, however, if you assist us, we can offer you the opportunity
to collaborate with us on a business project.
Haven't you always been interested in the Los Angeles land project? Why don't you participate with us
together?"
Quince's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He wanted to be a part of the Los Angeles land development project for a long time, but the Jacobs
Family was very powerful in Los Angeles.He had to be approved by the Jacobs family if he wanted to
participate in the development.He hadn't been able to find a solution, but he hadn’t expected such a
good thing to come to him today.
Quince took the bait that the other party threw, so he immediately changed his attitude.
Earlier, he appeared to be laughing at a joke, but now he was serious and harshly reprimanded Melody
behind her back.
"Mr.Jacoas, I'm very sorry.My daughter grew up in the countryside and has a wild personality.She
doesn’t know the ways of the world.This time, she was brought back here because the old man died.I
am always busy at work and never had the chance to educate her well.Because of that, she has
unfortunately strained the relationship between our two families."
"This matter is her fault.Don't worry, Mr.Jacobs, I will discipline her properly."
Nelson's sharp eyes flashed.He knew that Quince had agreed.
"Thank you, Mr.Sullivan.I still have something to do at home.I will take my leave and try son away first!
I expect to hear good news about this matter in the earliest" Nelson said before he and Zeke turned
around and walked to the door.
