BXBX NOVEL Chapter 280 I Owe You Nothing
Two days later, the Memorial Day finally arrived. Jack and the rest of the group immediately went at the resting place of Jack\'s mother.
They carried out all the procedures that was supposed to be taking place during the Memorial Day. They talked about Anne, reminding themselves about the time that she was present.
Although it was a sad moment, they were also happy to talk about her. They talked about the happy memories that they had shared with the deceased.
It was also at this moment that Jack finally felt at comfort. He was finally relieved even after his mother was gone.
During the time that his mother had passed away, there was nobody who was there to console him. And as a result, he had gone through all the pain of losing his mother all alone.
And of course, it wasn\'t just the pain of losing his mother that he had to endure. He was also forced to go through torture by his half siblings who used this chance to tease him.
At that time in the past, he really wished to have left the family. But, since his mother\'s resting place was present in the Alfonso\'s property, he had no choice but to stay there.
Additionally, at that time, he was still in school. He wasn\'t capable of taking care of himself at that time. And as a result, he was forced to depend on the Alfonso\'s for his school fees and among other things that he required in school.
The Memorial Day ended late at night. At that time, people were supposed to be truly exhausted. But in the end, only two people were drained amongst the group had that Jack had brought over from Kartu city.
Of course, these were none other than Anita and her husband Gregory. The two of them had not taken the body strengthening solution. As for the rest, each and every one of them had taken a body strengthening solution.
Jack rested for the night. He recalled all the moments that he had spent with his mother. In the end, he slept with a smile etched on his face.
The following morning, Jack got out of his room after he had freshened up. He went downstairs to the dining room to take breakfast with the others.
Anita and Gregory had decided that they were going to go back to Kartu city on that very day since they still had a lot to take care of in the family.
Katelyn took this chance to say that she was going with them. She too had a lot to handle and couldn\'t leave everything to Faith. And as a result, the three traveled back to the capital city on that very day.
Jack had of course asked Gabriel to take them back. Since Jack had already paid for the services that was supposed to be offered by Gabriel, then Gabriel had to be used to the maximum.
Jack had paid a lot of money to acquire the services offered by Gabriel and the company that he was working for. So, he had decided that Gabriel was going to make around trip.
He was going to make a round trip back to the capital city, before coming back to Crystal City to await for the rest of the people who were going to go back to the capital city in 3 days.
This is the only thing that Jack thought of. Although it seemed that it might be expensive to travel like that, especially if the plane was going to fly from the capital city to Crystal City without carrying anybody, Jack really didn\'t care.
At the end of the day, he wasn\'t the one who was going to deal with the fuel consumption and so on. All of that was supposed to be taken care of by the money that he had handed over during the time that he was acquiring the services of Gabriel.
Jack had decided to remain in Crystal City for the following 2 days simply because he had to deal with the companies that were previously owned by the Alfonso family.
Although it was true that the companies were currently under his control, he had yet to officially take over the businesses.
This is the main reason as to why these companies and businesses were not included during the monthly income report from the system.
Since his plan was to exploit the system to the maximum, he had to make sure that all the things that could be utilized were used to the maximum potential.
Jack first made his way to a company that was in charge of rubber supply. This company had several cooperation with several companies that were in charge of the production of rubber.
Since Crystal City was previously dominated by the Alfonso family, that company was the biggest supplier of rubber in the whole city.
And since they were the ones supplying rubber, of course, they had an industry that was utilizing that rubber to make several products from rubber. And just like the rubber supplying company, the top company that was in charge of production of rubber manufactured products was owned previously by the Alfonso family.
When Jack arrived, he didn\'t waste much time and decided to head for the main office. He was accompanied by Denali. Since she was the most familiar here, she had decided to come over and show him around.
As for Celine, she had decided to venture the city, and visit several of the places that she had visited when she was young. She wanted to re-live the memories that she had in her childhood.
Just as Jack got out of the car, he was surprised to see that Steve was present again. It seemed that he had just arrived with an executive of the company.
Since he was working as a driver, he was now in charge of transporting the top echelons of the companies that were under Jack currently.
It was also at this moment that Steve also noticed Jack. His brows rose a little as he looked at Jack in surprise.
Since that day when they had gone over to inchoate city to look for Jack due to the engagement with Wendy, Steve had never seen Jack again.
Even during the time that the Alfonso family was suffering, Jack never appeared. But of course, Steve had completely forgotten about Jack because he never thought that Jack would help them.
But when he saw that Jack was present here, he couldn\'t help but be stunned. He wondered if Jack was here to work or just for a business cooperation.
He wasn\'t an Idiot to believe that Jack was just like them, who had lost everything that they owned. When he saw that Jack was previously living in there Prince and princess Palace in Inchoate City, he knew that Jack must have found a backing.
Jack glanced at Steve for a moment, before finally ignoring him. There was nothing that the two of them could talk about even though they were brothers.
When he saw that Jack was leaving, Steve hurried forward. "Wait a moment Jack!" He shouted as he rushed towards him.
Even though he heard Steve shouting at him to stop, Jack didn\'t halt his steps at all. He continued heading towards the entrance of the building that was in charge of the management of the company.
Seeing that Jack was actually ignoring him, Steve got frustrated. Just thinking about the life that he was currently living in, the way that he had lost all the previous glory that he had, he couldn\'t accept letting Jack go like that.
Even if the fall of the family didn\'t actually happen due to Jack, he wasn\'t willing to let Jack continue living a lavish life while they on the other hand suffered.
"Jack, I am calling you but you are completely ignoring me. Have you forgotten that I am your elder brother?" Steve shouted. The next moment, he stood in front of Jack and Denali as he blocked their path.
Jack frowned when he heard this. He wasn\'t willing to engage Steve at all. But it seemed that this guy wasn\'t willing to let go of him.
"Please, I hope that you don\'t mention the relationship between me and you as brotherhood. I thought that I left the Alfonso family about 3 months ago." Jack responded.
"You left the family but that wasn\'t official. Even now, you are still a member of the Alfonso family. So, how can you let our family continue suffering while you enjoy yourself?" Steve retorted.
"Oh, now you remember that I was related to you previously? I thought that you never wanted to relate me to the Alfonso family. As long as I remember, I was a disgrace to the mention of the Alfonso family." Jack stated sarcastically.
"It really doesn\'t matter what happened back then. Since the Alfonso family did a lot for you when you were young, you have to pay back by helping us as well." Steve stated. He didn\'t care about what shame was.
Jack looked at him for a moment as if he was looking at a retarded person. After a while, he shook his head before continuing on his way. He of course just passed on the side of Steve.
While he was leaving, he muttered coldly, "I don\'t think I owe the Alfonso family anything. You should know that I owe you nothing for what you did to me and my mother."
