Chapter 608 - Dad and his children
"I am first young master of Braxton...Julian William Braxton" her father's voice echoed in the room.
Jean and Scott looked at each other and her lower lip trembled. The hand that is holding her father's hand shivered. Meanwhile Jeff is too shocked and all he could do is blankly see at his father. He knows about the rift between Braxton's and Valdez's.
Meanwhile, Julian sighed in relief. His daughter didn't let go of his hand...that means she is not totally hostile with the truth. At least he will get a chance to explain himself.
Jean sighed and nodded her head at her husband. They just had an eye to eye talk and he wanted her to think everything with clear head. He just doesn't want her previous judgements to cloud her mind.
Even jean is in same page as her husband. She has come across many situations like this…. though they are not this intense and unpredictable, they were enough for her to understand one thing very clearly.
Never come to conclusion with what you see…
There will be many things that will be happening unknown to her. Whatever she sees with her own eyes always cannot be true.
If her father is really bad, why will whole council follow him? Why will her brother Raymond who love her so much will respect him this much?
She only knows that Braxton's are the reason her parents.....Jonathan and Sophia died. But that doesn't mean whole Braxton's have a hand in it.
Whatever this second young master is doing now…. he is very secretive that his own father doesn't know what he is doing.
If her birth father who is the first young master of Braxton's is bad…. why will he save his adopted sister(Enrick's mother) who is her mother's best friend.
If he is the reason why her parents died…. why the hell will council follow him.
And including this, if he really wanted to destroy council, he would have already done that….
But on the first place why should he destroy council when it is already under his control.
Keeping all these aside, before second young master took his position in underworld, everything was so good that council almost thought that their target is reached. This only mean that her father had everything under control.
If everything is fine and settled, why should he scheme again to destroy council. This made her so sure that her father was not a person who caused all those ruckus.
Moreover, how can she forget the fact that he is the person who thought her many things to continue as a council member.
And not to forget another fact that he was her mentor in business too.
(Few years back when she started her company with country X as her main branch, he was her adviser. In very short span of time he taught her so much)
It is too evident that he loves his children so much. His eyes are enough to tell how much they meant to him. If he doesn't love his family, he would have already married another woman and returned back to Braxton's.
He would have surely retrieved his position as king of underworld from his brother. But he opted to stay back in council taking care of all three of his children.
"Your coma…. four years back…" Jean asked after god knows when.
"You remember the attack that would have left a huge impact on you?" he was about to continue but Jean interrupted him in middle because she remember it too well.
"But it didn't effect me….as far as I guessed back them, someone would have protected me from shadows like always" Jean said as her lips trembled a little.
"You are right. I diverted it" her father said and pursed his lips. He underestimated his brother's cunningness back then. Otherwise, he would have been even more careful…and wouldn't have missed five year's time with his children.
If he wouldn't have gone into coma, everything would have been totally different. His children would have already reunited with him long back and his brother would have already thrown into hell.
"You took the blow for me and it caused your coma. I am the reason for your sufferance now" Jean said. Her words barely leaving her mouth. She is totally emotional now…
Her eyes teared up and her lips trembled…
Meanwhile Julian and Scott are totally alarmed now. Both of them moved towards her at the same time.
And their eyes met. The glaring sparks they shared now are too obvious that jean couldn't help but chuckle. Her husband got another competitor now….
She couldn't help but pity him.
When these both are glaring at each other, another competitor…. the most brilliant one quietly moved to his sister and wiped her tears.
"Dad would have done this to any of us. If you are really feeling sad that dad took this blow for you, please forgive him for what he did. It is the only thing that will make him happy. Sis, he loves both of you so much…. our day use to never complete without thinking about both of you. There is no day dad didn't feel sad for what happened" Jasper said started to cry.
Those two who are having a glaring competition now quickly looked at Jasper.
His words can even melt the heart of coldest person….
Jean is after all a kind hearted just like their mother….
"Oh Jas…" Jean looked at her little brother with teary eyes. All she could do id to hug him while he sobbed on her shoulder.
"After mom died…. dad is everything to me. But when he went into coma" His choked and sniffled.
"Now, I got back with you and elder brother. Even dad woke up from coma…. please let's be together from now" he managed to ask her in his choking voice.
Meanwhile, even Jeff has tears in his eyes. Iris moved to sit with him and their fingers are entwined…
"I literally saw Uncle suffering. Jeff, he loves all of you….it is one of the reasons why I and Rick did so much to support you both and protect you both on behalf of him. " iris explained.
