Hundred Times Income Multiplier System

Chapter 391 Did You Kidnap My Daughter?

?

As they headed towards Angel's Prominence, the two of them maintained silence. Jack had realized that Celine was not willing to talk about the matter. But still, he couldn't help but try to think about it, wondering what it was that Celine was hiding from him.

The two of them had been together for many years, even though they had separated in between, at least, they had gotten back together for a few months now. And all this while, Celine was always open with him.

In case there was something that she disagreed on, she would always tell him directly, rather than keeping it secret. But now, she was trying to hide something from him, and it didn't seem that she was not going to tell him about it.

Instead, from the expression on her face, Jack could tell that she was willing to tell him, but, it seemed that she was restricted by something. Additionally, the fear that was within her eyes could not be hidden from him.

All of this made Jack angry. If there was someone that was threatening Celine, he was definitely going to make sure that that person was cut into smaller pieces until they wished for death.

But, all of this was just wishful thinking. Since Jack did not know anything about who it was that was blackmailing or forcing Celine to do what she was doing, then, he could only play along. It seemed that Celine had no choice but to ensure that he participated in the event.

But what was baffling him was the fact that, he didn't think that there was anything that seemed important in this youth congregation. After all, to him, this was just a group of youths that was trying to show off in front of each other.

And of course, even though he had already known from Luther that their families were participating in betting, he didn't care about it. At the end of the day, this matter did not concern him at all.

Moreover, the system had already removed the multiplier effect in case he betted. So, it was obvious that even if he participated in this event, there was nothing that he was going to benefit in.

Since he currently was busy with many things, involving researching on the advanced car that had been rewarded to him by the system, he didn't want to waste time on useless things.

But, it was only for a moment that Jack thought about it. In the next moment, he changed his mind as he looked at Celine who was seated on the passenger's seat silently.

"Dear, I understand that you have your own reasons for trying to make sure that I participate in this event. Since you cannot tell me about it, I won't force you to tell me. But still, you won't to be making me to work without any benefits, right?" Jack asked.

Celine was lost in her mind, thinking about a certain matter. But, the moment that she heard that Jack was talking to her, she immediately looked at him.

And when she heard his words, she felt her heart paining. After all, she knew that Jack had no interest in this event, but she had no choice but to make him participate in it.

And from his words, it was clear that he was going to do it, even though he didn't like it. Additionally, just from his words, she couldn't help but smile a little. This dispelled the somehow gloomy atmosphere in the air as Celine shook her head helplessly.

"What kind of benefits do you really want in such an event? Isn't an increase in your reputation enough?" Celine asked with a teasing smile.

"I don't care about my reputation. To me, all that I care about is you, and my benefits. If there are no benefits, then, what is the need for me to participate?" Jack shrugged his shoulders as he replied.

"Hehe. I knew it. You are always looking for benefits, but there was a time that you claimed that you are not running business because you want profits. Previously, you claimed that you are doing business because you wanted domination and control. But what about now?" Celine chuckled with raised brows as she looked at Jack.

"Eh? I said that?" Jack asked with no surprise in his voice. Then, he continued, "Oh, I remember now. I already said that I don't run businesses for domination and control. And of course, if I can dominate something, then I can have all the benefits in the world. So, there is no change at all in what I said."

"It seems that you are good with words. But anyway, by defeating everyone present in the youth congregation, would you not be dominating the field? In that way, you will get the benefit of not having any arrogant youth coming over to cause you trouble." Celine replied as she looked towards the buildings flashing backwards outside the car's window.

"That's not my way of doing things. If they dare to come over and cause me trouble, then I will personally deal with them. Although I don't look for trouble, I will also not tolerate someone causing me trouble. Additionally, I will not simply do things that I don't like because I want to prevent others from causing me trouble." Jack replied.

"Whatever. I will discuss with Luther so that they can decide on what they are going to pay you." Helplessly, Celine could only agree. After all, she knew that if she continued talking with Jack, there was no way that she was going to win over him with words.

Moreover, the more they talked about the topic, the more guilty she felt about it. Even though Jack was not making a fuss about it, she knew that he was not currently in his normal state.

Silence descended inside the Bugatti Veyron as it approached Angel's Prominence. And when they got there, they found that Katelyn was just about to return into the building.

The Angel's Prominence was currently in a new building, that was way bigger than before. All of this had been caused by the expansion of the Angel's Prominence with Jack's help.

Currently, Angel's Prominence was considered amongst the top cosmetics companies present in the country. Even those competitors that were competing with Angel's Prominence were bound to fail sooner or later.

After all, with Jack's assistance, Katelyn was able to get several companies in the cosmetics industry, and merged them into her company. This way, the influence of her company had increased.

When Katelyn who was coincidentally just outside the building saw that Celine had returned, she was at first surprised, but in the next moment, a smile bloomed on her face.

She opened her arms wide, and welcomed Celine who had run into her embrace. As she begins stroking her back, Katelyn spoke, "Where have you been hiding girl? It has already been a week, but I haven't seen you. Don't tell me that you decided that you are going to stay with Jack, and forget about your parents now that you have found love?"

Celine blushed when she heard this. She couldn't help but complain, "Mom, stop teasing me. How can you say something like that in public? Some people are going to think that I am not a filial daughter."

Even though she was currently blushing, she had hidden her face within her mother's bosom, making sure that nobody saw the embarrassment on her face.

Katelyn simply laughed at Celine's behavior. Then, she looked at Jack and said, "You have finally decided to return my daughter. I thought that you are going to keep my daughter with you, completely kidnapping her from me."

"Hehe, I really wanted to keep her, but she insisted on coming back." Jack replied with a small smile on his face.

''When did I insist on coming back? You were clearly the one that said that I had to come over and that my mother was asking for me!' Celine yelled in her heart, but she dared not say this out loud.

"Hey, come on! When did you begin teasing your mother-in-law? You know, if you behave in such a manner, some people might think that you are actually flirting with me. What if Celine decides not to marry you because of that? How am I going to get my grandchildren?" Katelyn looked at Jack with surprise in her eyes as she asked in a joking manner.

"Mom, what are you saying? You better not try having any designs on my Jack! Additionally, what grandchildren are you talking about? I am still young, and I haven't even gotten married yet." Celine complained once again.

Looking at her daughter's silly behavior, Katelyn couldn't help but be reminded of her youth years, during the time that she had met with Bruce. Remembering that time, Katelyn smiled.

"Haa! How good it is to be young. But somehow, the years go fast, and we don't even know how we got old. Now look, I'm already expecting my grandchildren, when I was just a little girl not long ago." Katelyn said dramatically with a sigh.

Celine's ears turned red, and the redness continued to spread to her neck. Had it not been hidden by how long hair that was flowing on her back, everyone would have known that currently, Celine was extremely embarrassed.

Had they been talking privately, perhaps her reaction would not have been this intense. But, it was completely different now. They were outside, and there were several people that were around, and listening to them. So, she couldn't help but exclaim in her heart how her mother was talking so openly about some things that were supposed to be kept private.

"All right, that's enough for now. Let's get inside and relax a little. I want you to tell me what you have been doing all this time that you have not gotten even the time to come back and see me." Katelyn said as she began heading towards the entrance of the building.
