"By the way, what's your mother's name?" Johnathan asked.r

Not knowing why he was asking, Jack still replied, "Anne. Is there a problem?"r

"What did you just say?" Johnathan got onto his feet, completely ignoring that he was still having a needle in the vein on his hand.r

Seeing his reaction, Jack looked at him and asked in surprise, "Do you know my mother?" This was a great surprise to him. All along, his mother has never mentioned about her origin.r

If it just so happened that Johnathan knew something about that, he would really appreciate having someone that could tell him about her. He was curious about her origin.r

"I know her. Although I have never seen her before, I have seen her photos back at home." Johnathan replied enthusiastically.r

"Where's your home?" Jack was both happy and curious as to why his mother's photo was there in Johnathan's home.r

"Actually, me and you are cousins." Johnathan stated after sighing. Then, he continued, "Your mother Anne, and my mother Anita are twins. My mother always talked about your mother all this while. She has her photos that they had taken together. So, I have always wanted to see her."r

Johnathan's revelation shocked not only Jack but even the ladies that were listening from the side. How could they have expected that the two, who looked similar to each other were actually related to each other?r

As if to prove what he was saying, Johnathan took his phone from the cabinet. After tapping for a while, he showed Jack the image of two ladies with arms around each other's shoulder.r

Jack's pupils contracted as he looked at the image of the two. Although they were twins, he could already distinguish his mother as he could see the clothes design that she liked.r

Added together with the fact that the two of them looked the same, added to another fact that Johnathan knew his mother's name, Jack had no choice but to believe that it was true that they were cousins.r

"It seems that just like me, you took on your mother's features." Johnathan smiled as he said this. He really was ecstatic. He was looking forward to meeting with his aunt for a long time.r

His mother had told him that she had a sister. She had left home because she claimed that she loved someone. The family obviously hadn't agreed to her being married to someone that they didn't know.r

So, Anne had left secretly, completely disappearing. They had tried looking for her but they had never managed to find her. After all, she had stopped using her cards, she never traveled and so on.r

She was from a big family at the end of the day. So, she knew some of the basic things that could make others know of her location. And since she had left, it had already been two decades.r

Jack didn't respond to Johnathan's comment. He stayed silent for a long while before he asked, "Can you tell me what you know about my mother?"r

Thinking that Jack was still not sure that he knew his mother, Johnathan went ahead and talked about Anne, each and everything that he said was from what he had heard from Anita.r

It turned out that his mother Anne was from a big reclusive family called Jesda. The two of them, Anne and Anita were twins, and were the only daughters of their parents.r

They had two brothers who were older than them. In other words, Jack had two uncles and one aunt.r

As for their father, although he wasn't the current family head, he was second to the family head, who was his elder brother. So, he had a lot of authority in the family, just below his elder brother who was the family head.r

The two sisters had always treated each other well. In the big family, it was obvious that there were many jealous people who had their own selfish desires. So, they would make their own plots.r

Although none of the plots were sinister, they were nothing good to the victim. Some of their uncles and aunts had planned to have the family gain relationship with other big families through marriage.r

The target was obviously the two sisters. They looked for ways to make the girls disagree with the marriage by trying to introduce a marriage between them and someone who's character was definitely nothing but thrash.r

Of course, in order for this not to be seen as a blatant way of attacking the other, they would choose those young masters with a good background. In this way, they would claim that they were doing this for the good of the family.r

They had tried it on Anita but, lucky for her, she had already fallen in love with someone that was from a good and acceptable background. So, the plans failed as the family head agreed to the two of them getting married.r

On the other hand, Anne was different. She had fallen in love with someone. But, that person had no big background. So, she dared not to introduce him to the family.r

In the end, the schemers found a scumbag who liked changing women like clothes, claiming that he was a well behaved and model man. He was good to be her partner for life.r

Anne didn't agree to this. This then led to a big argument in the family. In the end, with the help of Anita, Anne had managed to sneak away. Anita had helped her in covering her traces.r

The day that they had parted ways, twenty years ago, was the last time that the two sisters had met and spoke to each other. And although Anita would have really wanted to see her sister, for her sister's happiness, she decided not to look for her until in the recent years where she couldn't hold it anymore and tried looking for her.r

She had tried calling her since two years ago, using the number that Anne had registered using Anita's ID, but she found that the number was no longer in service.r

This had made her stressed up. But all the same, she had been trying to find ways of getting her sister back. Now that two decades had gone by, she was sure that although she might be punished, there was no way that they would force her to marry another person at her age.r

Johnathan on the other hand was one of the competitors for the seat of the family head. In order to assist his mother, he had decided to go for that position.r

In a family like Jesda, it was not a matter of inheritance where the father would pass the position of the family head to the son, instead, it was a competition between the young masters of the family, to decide who was the most competent to lead the family.r

Since he had decided to join the competition, he had faced several threats. He was sure that all of these were orchestrated by his competitors and their families.r

Luckily, he was strong enough to survive till today. But all the same, although he had tried finding ways to prove that they were the ones that had attacked him, he never succeeded as these people were always careful with whatever they did.r

He too had managed to handle himself for a few years before he was caught off guard the previous year.r

The assassin that they had sent when he was out in an official business was actually far stronger than the previous ones. The two of them had fought for a long time.r

And seeing that he was losing, the assassin had resorted to using a special poison that had in return weakened him greatly. Had he been at his peak, a small fry like viper wouldn't even manage to touch the corner of his clothes.r

Jack and the others finally understood what it meant to survive in a family that was full of schemers. Although Jack's half brothers and sisters had always schemed against him, after hearing how the Jesda family was, he thought that the Alfonso family was nothing.r

Celine on the other hand was the only heir to the family business. Although she was a girl, she had the abilities and was supported by her parents who were just as capable, together with her grandparents.r

Wendy as well as Angy had the same situation. They were not heirs and so, they had no pressure on them. Additionally, Wendy was always dotted on by her grandfather, Alton Farel. So, nobody really dared to make a move on her as that person would end up in a really bad position.r

Taking a deep breath, although he was curious and would have really wanted to meet this aunt of his, Jack decided that he would only do that once his strength was higher than the Jesda family.r

The Jesda family was a reclusive one and wasn't one of those that publicized their wealth. Currently, they had assets that were worth hundreds of billions.r

Added to their relationship with other families that were connected to them through marriages, he was sure that he couldn't compare with them, at least for now.r

He was sure that the moment that these people knew that his mother was Anne, they would try venting their frustrations on him as Anne had foiled their plans by running away.r

Although he had a system, he wasn't ready to be suppressed for a long time before he even managed to upgrade the system to level 2.r

"By the way, where's your mother? I would like to see her." Johnathan asked excitedly after he finished his narration. He was now on the bed, with his back on the headboard.r

Looking at the enthusiastic Johnathan, Jack shook his head and said, "She died a few years ago."r

"What?! Are you serious?!" Johnathan jumped onto his feet and asked incredulously. His voice was filled with disbelief and shock. r
