Jennifer was standing outside, seeing Lucas being taken away in front of her eyes.
She didnât feel anything wrong, just the numbness in her heart but it started to feel relieved. Inside her own will, she knew how much she craved to see that day.
The cops took Lucas, without him protesting. The proof was all in his direction, and this was enough to prove that he would need to present at the police station.
Jack came to stand beside her. He had his hands inside his pocket, and viewed the same sight as hers, âLucas was bound to pay for his crimes.â
âThe clips have already tarnished the reputation. It wonât take long for the cops to know that he is guilty.â Jack passed the comment but Jennifer stayed mum.
Coming by her way, Olivia stood up to stand beside Jennifer, to her right side. She had much to say, since she too contributed to his scandalous planning, âI hope that he is guilty in the eyes of law. Otherwise, if he comes back, the first and foremost person whom he would like to kill will be me.â
Hearing this, Jenniferâs lip curved upwards. Her eyes held an undefined with them when she said, âI donât care. But how come both of you planted the fake knife as the evidence?â Jenifer was keen on learning.
.....
It was Jack, who took the initiative to answer back, âWe only wanted his imprints. That was our plan. But we had no idea that he would use a knife to kill Seren. We had planned that whatever weapon he will use, we will bring another weapon with his fingerprints.â
âFortunately, our luck rented by our side and he used a knife to kill Seren, which was similar to how we had planned.â Jackâs words made sense to Jennifer.
She could easily conclude that both of them had kept things pretty much in their mind.
A sigh escaped from Jenniferâs lip when she canât help but mutter, âHe is really dangerous. We all knew that..â
âNot more than what we both know.â Olivia told Jennifer and then, she rotated her head to look and gaze back at Jack, âJack has suffered too and this is just him paying for his sins. Lucas isnât as per what you think, Jennifer. Donât bring sympathy for a guy like him.â
Jennifer didnât reply. Nor did she bring many flashes of happiness.
Her face still held the same amount of hatred for Lucas. Even though the copsâ cars have disappeared from the campus of their mansion, that didnât bring any fruitful smile to Jenniferâs lips.
However, when her brows curved upwards, did she surely mutter under her breath, âSympathy? I donât know what it is anymore.â
Only Jack was able to hear. He passed her a small nod and the three of them still stood in the same line. The trioâs eyes were all focused on the gates station since they both knew that Lucas wonât come back on easily until they have their influence.
Jack adjusted his clothes and Jennifer brought her hands in front of her chest. She folded her arms to ask, âWhat is the future plan, Jack? What do you want to do with a piece shit like him?â
âI donât know about him but..will play like a piece of chess for me in threatening Grandfather Smith,â Jack told honestly.
He didnât hide even a single fact from them. Despite keeping his mind high and above all the blunders possible, he knew kindly that hiding from these two wonât benefit him.
At last, Jennifer finally shifted her attention back to him, âDo you mean to say that your next target is grandfather smith?â
âMy target was always him, Jennf6ier.â Jack answered, with a soft grin, âMy revenge is for my father, and who will pay other than Elder master Smith and Amara?â
At this point, Jennifer knew that Jack was more ruthless than she could even imagine.
He didnât even give a single thought before executing all the plans as per his wish and demanded to finish the obstacles through his path.
Her lips parted, but no sound came. Her heart was filled with a hundred curious thoughts, which she was in the wish to resolve right now and then, âI-t was you who released all the clips...â
In response to her, Jack shrugged his shoulders. It was simply an indication.
âGrandfather Smith...will you be able to get your hands on him?â Jennifer asked.
After all, her revenge was merely from Lucas, not from anyone else in the family. They arenât her mistakes. She doesnât even care about their wish for a minor second. Her eyes were all targeted at a single person
Initially, Jack had kept mum. But then he did open his mouth to speak, âHe will. I will pull that nerve of Elder master Smith...which will not only ruin him but also bring him to his knees...â
Jennifer didnât interfere. She brought her gaze back to where it was earlier. Her face didnât leave the expression, in the hope to say her next words.
âAnd my revenge is from Lucas. I want Lucas safe and sound..alive. I will take my revenge on my own...and my revenge will not be mere bar punishment..â Saying this, Jennifer once again took another promise from Jack, âWill you be to keep him alive for me?â
To this, Jack was a bit hesitant. He wanted Lucas to suffer as much as others...
Yet respecting Jenniferâs wish, he finally gave in, âI will do what I can.â
âThatâs all Iâm expecting.â
With this, the silence regained the trio. No one was in the position to say. Some felt the guilt, while the joy took over another. There were mixed sentiments, harder to define, and more complex to feel.
But the same silence didnât remain for an absolute time. Within a few minutes, a shrill voice was heard from inside the mansion.
They rotated their heads to look behind and then, a maid came outside to look at Jack, with horror-filled eyes, âWhat has happened inside?â Jack inquired.
âS-S-in...its...Mrs. Amara..she has suffered a heart attack..â
