King's Back

Chapter 16 Shame on the Family Day

It was eleven o’clock in the evening when Dolcie came home, only to find that the lights were still on and Jackson was sitting on the couch watching TV.

"I am back."

Dolcie was indifferent, without unnecessary words or greetings.

Dolcie took off her shoes, left her bag on the table and collapsed on the sofa.

"Have some the chicken soup." Jackson stood up and brought out a bowl of fragrant chicken soup.

Dolcie looked at the chicken soup with exasperation and said, "You leave it there. I want to talk to you."

Jackson was stunned, then sat down again.

"Tomorrow is the Family Day. Family and relatives of the Clark family will go back and get together." Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Yes, I see."

Dolcie hesitated, and decided to speak out.

"On the Family Day, we generally make decisions about some matters in the family, and this time, it is to discuss our divorce."

Kiara had been ill for three years, and Dolcie had been living with a man whom she had no love for.

With the efforts of Dolcie, Kiara finally saw the ability of the Clark family. Dolcie not only signed the contract with the Chou Group, but also won the affection from Logan.

So, for the sake of the Clark family's future, Kiara decided to throw Jackson out of the family and found another husband for Dolcie.

"What do you think?" Jackson asked.

"I'm just a woman," Dolcie said with a wry smile. "a tool at the mercy of my family. This was the case three years ago. After three years, will there be any changes??"

"No one can keep us apart if you don't want to." Jackson said firmly.

Dolcie felt warm.

Since being humiliated at her grandmother's birthday party, Jackson had changed a lot. He was more responsible and started to go to work.

Actually, it was not bad to be with Jackson...

Dolcie was taken aback by the idea. How could she have such a terrible idea? She couln't be moved because he had cooked chicken soup for her every day for three years.

She didn't like Jackson at all, and they had no emotional basis. They were forced to get married, so they would never be in love!

"Do you remember the Bronze Pot? Tell them that you did not get it by luck, but that you identified it as a treasure. Maybe Kiara will look at you with new eyes.”

"it is just a pot," Jackson chuckled. "It is not a big deal."

"But that pot is worth fifty million yuan!" Dolcie raised her voice.

"Fifty million. Is that a lot?" Jackson shrugged and said innocently.

"You... You're such a hopeless bonehead."

Jackson said calmly, "Don't worry, tomorrow I'll prove to the Clark family that I am not a loser."

"How do you prove it?" Dolcie asked, puzzled.

"You will know it. My dear, drink the chicken soup."

Dolcie shook her head, thinking that Jackson was talking big again, but lately that he said seemed to be coming true.

Was there anything he had hiding from her?

Dolcie drank chicken soup, and then went back to her room, slamming the door behind him.

On the Family day.

All the relatives of the Clark family were present.

When they arrived at the Clark family villa, everyone was already there. When Morgan saw Jackson, he went over and shook hands with him, which was quite different from a few days ago.

"Brother-in-law, I have a few words for you."

Jackson looked at him, but did not refuse, and they went out into the back garden.

Birds were twittered, accompanied with the fragrance of flowers. The river flowed happily beneath the bridge.

"Jackson, I admire your composure. Don't you know what we're talking about on the Family Day?"

"Let's get this straight," Jackson said softly.

"Jackson, don’t you know about it? They're going to force you to get a divorce today," Morgan said. "You know what, you're going to get kicked out of the house and you will be a beggar. Aren’t you anxious?”

"Does it matter to you?" Jackson asked.

"I..." Morgan fumed. He wanted to say it out loud that of course it had something to do with him.

If Jackson got kicked out of the house, the Dolcie’s family would cooperate with Logan, and they would rise. By then, Morgan’s position in the Clark family will definitely be affected.

How could it not matter with him?!

"Jackson, being able to marry Dolcie is already a blessing in your last life. A normal man wouldn't agree to a divorce such a perfect wife, you understand?" Morgan threatened.

"Morgan, don't think I don't know what is on your mind. I have a word for you. A man strong enough is fearless of gossip, fearless of humiliation and injustice."

Then he turned and walked away.

Morgan jumped to his feet angrily. "Shit, you deserve to end up being abandoned. I want to say a good word for you, but since you don’t appreciate it, you'd better get out."

Back in the meeting room, Kiara did not show up until the Clark family had arrived. With great pomp, she deliberately asked everyone to wait for her.

The family was not big, but there were many rules. It was a pity that they just did the grand. Compared with the real aristocracy, they were too far behind to catch up with it.

"Grandma."

"Grandma."

"Mom."

"Mom."

Everyone greeted Kiara. They did not sit down until she took her seat.

Martha said, "Kiara, let's get down to business. The main purpose of today's Family Day is for everyone to be the witnesses. After careful consideration with Kiara, the family has decided to divorce Dolcie and Jackson."

As the words fell, the family began to whisper, all eyes on Jackson, scorning, and even anticipating the day.

But to everyone's surprise, Jackson didn't appear to be thrilled. Instead, he just sat there calmly.

Martha stood up, gave Jackson a scornful look, and began to enumerate his sins.

"Gentlemen, the marriage of our children is supposed to be the happiness of their lives. If Anthony hasn't insisted on it, our daughter wouldn't have married Jackson."

"This man became our live-in son-in-law for three years, idling away the time and achieved nothing."

"He just relies on my daughter, but how much money can my daughter's company make? Look at Dolcie, she's gaunt all these years!"

The crowd began to denounce Jackson and scorned him. After all, Kiara’s words were like weathervane.

Now that she had agreed to Dolcie and Jackson’s divorce, Jackson must be kicked out of the house.
