The Bodyguard System

Browns Residence…

The atmosphere was once again silent, with nobody daring to breathe out even loud. Inside the living room of the mansion, Peter, the head of the Brown family was sitting there with a somber expression on his face.

"Brother, you have to help me out. You cannot allow me to be humiliated like this. You have not helped me for the past years ever since I got married. But this time, you have to help me." Josephine stated as she looked at her brother.

That's right. Josephine was from the Brown family. It had been two days ever since Jaden had kicked them out of the Villa. They had managed to get a few things back, but not all.

Nonetheless, they were currently living inside a hotel. But, it was just her and her son. As for her husband, he was currently taken in custody by the police, as he was being investigated about the incidences related to his company.

Of course, Josephine did not really care about Wilfred. After all these years, she was no longer as madly in love as she was with him back then. Now, all that she cared was the well-being of her son.

Previously, when she was young, she fell in love with Wilfred. But of course, the family was against the marriage between the two of them, considering the difference in social status of the two people that claimed to love each other.

But Josephine was a person who was never willing to give up. She was so relentless, that her parents had no choice but to agree to the marriage between her and Wilfred.

But of course, it was at a consequence that, Josephine would never ask for help from her family ever again. If she went through with the marriage, then, that would be the end of the relationship between them.

Josephine never cared about that. Instead, since she was young back then, and she was madly in love with Wilfred, she didn't care about it, and she didn't think much about it either.

But of course, this was something that she came to regret about in the future. She tried contacting her father a few years later, just a little after she had gotten her son, but her father never wanted to talk to her at all.

As for her brother, the two of them would talk to each other occasionally, but the relationship between the two of them had eroded after all these years. Other than simple greetings, there was nothing much that the two of them talked about.

It could be said that Josephine had been completely forgotten. Perhaps this was the reason why she had always been putting a lot of pressure on Wilfred, and had even been involved in making sure that Wilfred would take everything from Jaden after his parents passed away.

Despite all that, right now, considering that they had lost everything due to the company going bankrupt, and Jaden taking back the villa, she had decided to come to look for her brother.

Of course, some of the older employees within this residence knew about her. Peter was still living in this same mansion, together with his old parents. But, he was the one that was in charge of management, while the parents simply enjoyed their old life.

So, when Josephine came over, even though she was stopped from entering by the new employees, when an old employee spotted her, they immediately allowed her in. It might be true that she had changed in terms of appearance after all those years, more than two decades, but still, some things about her could not change at all.

Additionally, she kept on shouting about being a member of the Browns family, and that habit of hers was so familiar to those old employees of the Browns.

And when she came over, she asked to meet with her brother. She understood that currently, all the power in the family was in her brother's hand. So, in case she wanted any help, she had to speak with her brother.

Additionally, the relationship between her and her brother was way better as compared to the one that she was having with her parents. In fact, it would not be impossible for her father to chase her away even in his old age, the moment that he saw her.

Peter was away, dealing with business. But, he had no other choice but to come back, considering that he was afraid that Josephine might end up causing trouble when he was away.

And now that he was back, he was having a headache. The reason behind that was that Josephine had already told him about everything that had happened to her.

Of course, it would have not been impossible for him to be able to rescue Josephine's husband's company if it was just targeted by a small company of the same level, or slightly higher.

The only problem here was the fact that after investigation was carried out, it was shortly confirmed that the company was targeted by a giant in the city. It was the Nightstar security company.

It might be true that the Browns were quite formidable within the city, but Peter was definitely not willing to get himself involved in a fight with such a big company.

It was troublesome to deal with that company, considering that it might end up with mutual destruction of the two sides. The current net worth of the Browns was at about $530 million.

This was just a small difference of a few million dollars, even though it was quite a huge gap. The only reason that Peter was not willing fight against this company was due to the connections that this company possessed.

It was a company Involved in security, and so, it was involved with many companies within this city. So, if he attacked this company, he would definitely be targeted by many other companies.

But, there was one thing that was making him hesitate. That was the fact that Jaden was involved in this matter. Even though Peter did not understand how Jaden was involved with the Nightstar Security company, still, he was considering on whether to take action or not.

If it had been that he did not even know who Jaden was, he would have definitely not even considered something like this. Instead, it was simply because Jaden was involved with the death of his son in one way or the other, even though it was not yet proved, that he was considering taking action.

Investigation had already been carried out about Lucas's death, but until today, it was confirmed that it was someone else that was involved in killing Lucas. But, that guy kept on claiming that he had not done it.

Additionally, all the evidence pointed at the fact that he was actually not involved in killing, even though he was involved with Lucas during the day that Lucas had died. So, the issue was still pending, as investigation was still being carried out.

And not long ago, Peter had decided to take action by himself. He had sent a group of gangsters to go and deal with Jaden, by simply kidnapping him and bringing him over. But in the end, that group of gangsters that he had sent over ended up being thrashed.

The thing that bothered him the most was the fact that he had used quite some of his influence in order to be able to convince the police to move from that area, while allowing a small gang that was under him to go over and bring Jaden over, after his whereabouts were confirmed.

Since then, he had been trying to scheme, trying to find a method that he could use to deal with Jaden. But until now, he had yet to find a method that he could use in order to deal with Jaden.

When Josephine saw that there was hesitation on her brother's face, she could not help but get a little anxious.

"Brother, your nephew was beaten. Even I myself was beaten by that bastard. Are you really going to let this matter go just like that, when I and your nephew were both injured by him?" Josephine asked, while trying to pressurize her brother to help her.

She understood that the relationship between the two of them was not that deep, and Peter was definitely not obliged to help her. So, she had to find a way that she would convince him to help her. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to be able to get revenge on Jaden.

"You don't have to tell me what I should do! It's not that I care much about what has happened to you, or to your nephew. Instead, I'm much more interested in that Jaden." Peter retorted with an angry expression on his face.

Josephine understood that her brother was a person with quite a temper, even though he was calm in most of the situations. So, when she saw that he was a little angry at her, she decided not to say anything about this matter.

But when she heard that he was interested in Jaden, she was surprised. So, she told him everything that she knew about Jaden. But of course, everything that she knew about Jaden was up to a few months ago.

This ended to the incident where Jaden had ended up being beaten, to near death. Even though she did not understand how Jaden was still okay after that incident, still, she did not care that much.

But, after Jaden was beaten up that time, and she received that information, she stopped paying attention to him. And, it was only when he appeared again that she realized that Jaden was not dead.

And, she believed that perhaps the information that she had received was just a rumor, and not true. Still, she was not able to push for this matter and the one that had given her the information as of yet, considering that she did not possess that much of a status at this moment, after that incident involving her husband's company.
