Chapter 491


    Thanks to Patrick’spliments, Jimmy once again felt that he was growing more and more capable.


    Soon, Jimmy left the DuPont residence, while Patrick quickly prepared to head over to Swallowston


    once more to bring Joanna home.


    As Jimmy stepped out, he made some calls to gather his friends in Northrive before driving over to the


    Drake residence.


    The Drake family was one of the ten most powerful families in Northrive. In fact, they were one of the


    strongest. A singlemand from them was all it took to wipe out the entire family of anyone who got


    on their bad side. After all, some of their own people held high–ranking positions within Internal Affairs.


    Consequently, to establish a good rtionship with them, Patrick suggested that Joanna be wed to


    Grisha, the eldest son of the Drake family.

    However, Grisha had a mental disability since birth and was rather well–known as an eight–year–old


    boy living in an adult’s body. On top of that, Grisha’s legs were weak and he needed the help of a


    wheelchair to get around.


    This was the man Patrick was offering his daughter to. In his mind, all of this was worth it for the sake


    of the family’s future. Phis, Joanna would enjoy a life of riches once she married into the Drake family.


    To Patrick, it was a pure–win situation for Joanna, which made him even more determined to proceed


    with his ns.


    But in truth, he was doing all this for Jimmy’s sake.


    Twenty minutester, Jimmy pulled up at the Drake residence. He then called out, “Are you home,


    Moses?”


    Hearing this, Moses Drake walled out of the living room. Joanna was supposed to marry this man’s


    older brother.


    Moses and Jimmy were of simr age so they were rather close.


    Moses smiled when he saw Jimmy and said, “Hey, Jim! Come in.”


    He invited Jimmy inside, where a few people were sitting in the living room. They were revealed to be


    the youngsters of the Drake family, including Grisha who was smiling away as he ate something while


    seated in his wheelchair.


    At that moment, a young woman asked, “Did your father manage to bring Joanna back from


    Swallowston? Has he brought her back yet? Grisha’s supposed to marry her very soon and he’s really


    looking forward to it.”


    “She’s right, Jim. There has been no word from you guys. Is Joanna even home right now?”


    “Are you all nning on canceling the wedding?”


    The youngstersunched into a flurry of questions.


    The Drakes were getting impatient to see the marriage seed since Joanna was considered to be a


    beautiful woman in Northrive. Her marrying Grisha would be like a dreame true for them.


    Hearing this, Jimmy said, “Please, why would my father ever cancel the wedding? We’re all ready for


    Grisha’s big day, but…”


    “But, what?” a young woman asloed.


    Her name was Abigail Drake–the third child within the Drake family.


    Jimmy sigled “My father did find Joana during his trip to Swallowston but she refused toe home.


    On top of that, she even found herself a boyfriend there whoid his hands on my father.”


    “What?”


    “That b*stard”
