Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Descend to the Underworld to Atone for His Grandson
Old Master Quinn knew Julia, she was the love of his grandson’s life. Jack had mentioned before that he wanted to marry Julia.
"Julia, you’re here."
"Yes, Grandpa."
Julia’s tears flowed as she pulled a gun from her arms and placed it in front of Old Master Quinn.
Old Master Quinn had served in the military; he could tell the difference between a real and a fake gun.
Julia pulled out a real gun, which startled him: "How did you get this? Julia, you must know this is illegal."
Julia nodded, painfully saying, "When I was in the hospital, I encountered danger, and Jack spent a fortune to buy this from abroad for my self-defense."
Old Master Quinn frowned. So that time Jack asked him for money was to buy a gun for Julia. In the past, Old Master Quinn would have certainly given Jack a stern lecture.
But now that Jack had been missing for many days, those things no longer mattered.
Old Master Quinn didn’t say a harsh word to Julia and just waved his hand: "I understand."
Julia thought Old Master Quinn would ask her what danger she encountered in the hospital. Then, she could bring up Ivana Monroe. Unfortunately, he didn’t ask, as Old Master Quinn looked exhausted.
Butler Sheffield said, "Miss Julia, if there is nothing else, please go back. Our master is tired."
Julia was unwilling in her heart; she naturally had a purpose for coming here, but she couldn’t say it out loud.
"I don’t have anything to do when I go back, so let me stay here with Grandpa a while longer! Maybe... maybe I can get news about Jack." She showed a look of longing, seemingly caring deeply for Jack.
There’s no denying that Julia knew how to "perform."
"It doesn’t matter, let her stay!"
Old Master Quinn observed Julia’s expression and spoke to Butler Sheffield.
"But... Master..."
"Go make a cup of coffee for Julia, Jack mentioned... she loves coffee."
Old Master Quinn interrupted Butler Sheffield, and when he mentioned Jack, his old eyes shimmered with tears.
"Yes."
What else could Butler Sheffield say? He could only go make coffee.
The coffee was ready.
A gardener ran in, holding a letter, and said to him: "Butler Sheffield, someone just knocked on the door outside and gave me a letter, insisting that I deliver it to the master because it contains news about Young Master Jack. I didn’t dare to decide on my own, so I brought it to you for a look."
After all, it was from a stranger, and the gardener couldn’t distinguish its good or bad intentions, so he simply brought it to Butler Sheffield.
Butler Sheffield replied with an "Hmm," took the letter, gently tore it open, and didn’t immediately open it but first checked if there was anything else on the letter paper.
As a Chinese medicine practitioner, Butler Sheffield confirmed there were no other "components" on the letter paper before putting the letter back in the envelope. He carried the coffee to Old Master Quinn.
Without reading the letter’s content, Butler Sheffield handed the letter to Old Master Quinn: "Master, this letter came from someone outside and is said to contain news of Young Master Jack."
As Julia held her coffee and saw the familiar letter paper, a smile curled in her heart.
"Bring me my reading glasses."
"Yes."
Old Master Quinn put on reading glasses, and after reading the letter, his face changed abruptly.
"Grandpa, what does the letter say? Where is Jack? Is he coming back soon?"
Seeing Old Master Quinn silent, Julia impatiently asked.
Old Master Quinn did not answer Julia but instead asked her in a deep voice: "Do you know Ivana Monroe?"
Julia frowned. Didn’t the letter make it clear? Ivana Monroe killed Jack? Why did Old Master Quinn still ask her such a question? Did Old Master Quinn not believe that it was Ivana Monroe who did it?
Heh heh...
Old fox.
No matter what kind of old fox Old Master Quinn was, she had her ways to make him believe, which was why she came today.
"Yes, I know."
Julia pretended to ask in surprise: "Could it be that Jack went to look for Ivana Monroe?"
Julia shook her head, her eyes filled with panic: "It’s impossible! Jack completely offended Ivana Monroe at the hospital, and Ivana Monroe hated him to death. There’s no way he would go to Ivana Monroe."
"Grandpa, tell me, what’s going on? Where is Jack? I... I miss him so much."
"You said Jack completely offended Ivana Monroe at the hospital? How did he offend her?" Old Master Quinn, who originally didn’t quite believe the contents of the letter, had other thoughts after hearing what Julia said.
"Jack... he did it all for me." Julia’s eyes showed guilt as she continued, "That day, I was pushed down the stairs by Ivana Monroe..."
Bla bla bla!
Julia narrated the incident of falling down the stairs to Old Master Quinn, describing Ivana Monroe as vicious as possible, and then told how Jack used the fake "Leo Griffin" to deal with Ivana Monroe for her.
In the end, tears gathered in her eyes, and she pitifully said: "It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, Jack wouldn’t have offended Ivana Monroe. Ivana Monroe is such a vicious woman. If Jack is with her."
After pausing, she grabbed Old Master Quinn’s hand: "Grandpa, I’m really worried about Jack."
Julia could clearly feel Old Master Quinn’s hand trembling.
Old Master Quinn’s face was pale, his heart extremely conflicted. Julia’s expression didn’t seem fake. Could it be that Ivana Monroe really...?
Old Master Quinn shivered, shaking his head and murmuring: "No, impossible... I don’t believe it."
"What’s impossible?"
Julia stared at the letter in Old Master Quinn’s hand: "Grandpa, can I look at the letter?"
Saying this, she took the letter.
A few seconds later.
Julia screamed: "Ah~ Jack... Jack, Ivana Monroe, you vicious woman, how could you do such a malicious thing to Jack? You are simply not human."
"Wuwuwu~ Grandpa..."
Julia lay on Old Master Quinn’s knees, crying miserably.
Old Master Quinn was moved by the atmosphere of sorrow that Julia exuded, a stabbing pain in his heart. His fingers clenched tightly, furiously saying, "Ivana Monroe, it really was you who killed my grandson. Even if I have to sacrifice my old life, I’ll make you pay for it in the afterlife."
Upon hearing this, Julia, her face buried in Old Master Quinn’s knees, secretly smiled.
~~
A few days later.
Ivana Monroe received a transfer contract, a transfer contract for "Yiren Magazine," clearly stating "Ivy Linden voluntarily and unconditionally transfers Yiren Magazine to Ms. Ivana Monroe."
Ivana was extremely shocked, looking at Lawyer Robinson, who brought the transfer contract: "I cannot accept this transfer contract. Please contact Ivy Linden immediately and have her retract it."
What did Ivy mean? Was she planning to abandon everything in Ravenswood and live anonymously in another city?
Lawyer Robinson said, "Ms. Ivy Linden mentioned that if the first inline person refuses to accept, I will contact the second inline person... Mr. Samuel Lockwood."
