Chapter 800 Trust My Judgment
~~*****~~
Nathan was supposed to confront Vincent and wage an all-out war with his men but the moment he stepped out of the Sparks Mansion, Tatsumi blocked his car at the front gate. In the end, Nathan just found himself following Tatsumi as they were both summoned by Mr. Hiroshi.
"Tell me everything that happened. Where is my daughter?" Mr. Hiroshi\'s voice thundered through the room, his eyes sharp and demanding answers from Nathan and Tatsumi.
They were currently inside Mr. Hiroshi\'s study room. There was a heavy tension in the air as Nathan and Tatsumi faced Mr. Hiroshi.
Tatsumi anxiously glanced at Nathan, nudging his shoulder in a silent plea. He was too terrified of Mr. Hiroshi to speak first. The weight of the situation hung heavily on him, and he desperately needed Nathan to take the lead.
Nathan took a deep breath, his expression a mix of guilt and anger. "Mr. Hiroshi… I\'m sorry. It\'s my fault that Jane was taken away by Vincent\'s men." His voice was low, filled with regret. He didn\'t elaborate further, his eyes cast downward.
Mr. Hiroshi\'s eyes flared with anger. In a sudden outburst, he grabbed a laptop from his desk, his arm swinging back with the intent to strike Nathan.
"Uncle! Godfather! It\'s not what you think!" Tatsumi interjected, stepping between them and raising his hands to shield Nathan. "Let me explain. Nathan is not to blame. Vincent is a cunning man. He used Mia and Ethan to threaten Jane and Nathan. To protect the children, Jane chose to cooperate. She left with Vincent\'s men, taking Mia with her." Tatsumi spoke spontaneously to defend Nathan.
On the other hand, Nathan glanced at Tatsumi, confusion and puzzlement etched on his face. "How did you know that? You weren\'t at the scene."
Tatsumi\'s eyes darted away, his body tense. "Someone tipped me off," he muttered, avoiding Nathan\'s gaze.
Mr. Hiroshi\'s anger simmered as he listened, his grip on the laptop loosening. His eyes darted between Nathan and Tatsumi, processing the new information. "Who tipped you off, Tatsumi?" he demanded, his voice still hard but controlled.
Tatsumi hesitated, struggling with the decision to reveal his source. Finally, he spoke, "An informant within Vincent\'s ranks. It\'s the woman you met in Country J. She\'s Speed. She saw what happened and contacted me. She knew Jane would do anything to protect her children."
Mr. Hiroshi\'s eyes narrowed. "Why didn\'t you come to me immediately with this information?"
Tatsumi swallowed hard. "I wanted to gather more details first. I didn\'t want to alarm you without having a clear picture of the situation. I also followed Nathan to the Sparks Mansion."
Mr. Hiroshi\'s gaze shifted back to Nathan. "And you, Nathan? Why didn\'t you protect my daughter better?"
Nathan met Mr. Hiroshi\'s eyes, his voice steady despite the weight of the accusation. "I did everything I could, Mr. Hiroshi. Vincent\'s men were well-prepared and outnumbered us."
"If I were to decide, I wouldn\'t let Jane follow those men. But Jane made the decision to go with them to ensure Mia and Ethan\'s safety. It was a choice I couldn\'t stop. She did it to protect the children."
The room fell silent, the gravity of the situation settling over them. Mr. Hiroshi\'s anger began to give way to a deep, simmering worry. He turned away, staring out the window, his mind racing with thoughts of his daughter\'s safety.
"Alright," he finally said, his voice calmer but still tense. "We need to strategize. Vincent won\'t get away with this. Tatsumi, I want you to find out everything you can from your informant. Can you locate where they brought my daughter and my granddaughter?"
"Okay, Sir. I will follow up, Speed." Tatsumi promptly responded.
"Nathan, we need to prepare for a rescue mission. My daughter and my granddaughter\'s lives are at stake, and we won\'t let Vincent win. Prepare your men! We will attack their hideouts and headquarters!"
Nathan and Tatsumi exchanged a determined look, both understanding the urgency of their task. They had to act swiftly and decisively to save Jane and Mia. As they moved to leave, Mr. Hiroshi\'s voice stopped them.
"And Nathan," he said, his tone softening slightly, "Don\'t be so harsh on yourself. Tatsumi is right. It wasn\'t your fault. We\'ll get them back… both Jane and Mia." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Nathan nodded, feeling grateful. They had a mission, and failure was not an option. Together, they would bring Jane and Mia home safely.
Nathan and Tatsumi were about to leave when Mr. Hiroshi\'s phone rang. "Wait. Don\'t leave just yet. The bastard is calling me." Mr. Hiroshi informed the two men as he watched his phone screen. Vincent\'s caller ID was displayed on his screen.
He signaled Tatsumi and Nathan to keep quiet as he answered the phone. He even put it on the loudspeaker mode.
"Where did you bring my daughter?" Mr. Hiroshi asked Vincent through his gritted teeth.
But then…
"Pa, calm down. It\'s me, Jane."
The three men exchanged glances with one another upon hearing Jane\'s voice.
"Jane, my daughter. How are you? Did he hurt you? Tell me. Are you alright?! Don\'t worry, Nathan and I will rescue you." Mr. Hiroshi\'s voice was laced with concern for his daughter.
"No need, Pa. You don\'t have to do that. I\'m just doing fine here. I don\'t need rescue. I call you to inform you that everything is under control. I already talked to Vincent. Everything is just a misunderstanding."
The three men frowned when they heard that.
"Jane, my daughter. Tell me… are you being threatened again? Why are you saying this? Tatsumi and Nathan informed me about what happened. Vincent used the children to threaten you!"
"Pa. I made my decision. I\'m marrying Vincent. The father of my child." Jane declared, shocking the three men.
"I will not allow you to touch him. Don\'t mobilize your men. You know me. I\'m not the kind of person who will allow myself to be manipulated and threatened. I\'m doing this for my own sake. So please, Pa… don\'t interfere. Just support me with my decision."
Nathan\'s heart sank when he heard those words coming from Jane. Tatsumi could also feel his pain. He knew the feeling of being abandoned. "Oh my, Nathan and I are both rejected grooms. In the end, Jane still chose the father of her child." Tatsumi failed to control his blabbering mouth.
Tatsumi immediately shut his mouth when he sensed two pairs of sharp eyes directed at him.
"Oops!"
After glaring at Tatsumi, Mr. Hiroshi asked his daughter again.
"Jane, are you sure about this? Is this truly what you want?"
There was a moment of silence from the other line. Tatsumi held Nathan\'s shoulder, tapping his back to console him. Tatsumi seemed to tell Nathan to brace himself.
Soon, Jane spoke again, sharing her thoughts. She was clueless that Nathan was there, listening to their conversation.
"Yes, Pa. I\'m sure about this. This is for the best," Jane replied.
Mr. Hiroshi cast a look at Nathan. He could tell that Nathan was greatly affected by Jane\'s decision. He couldn\'t describe his expression. He saw pain, sorrow, regret, and anger in Nathan\'s eyes.
Mr. Hiroshi heaved a sigh of defeat. "Alright, Jane. I will listen to you. I\'ll trust you with your decision. I hope you will not regret this."
"I know what I\'m doing, Pa. Trust me. Trust my judgment," Jane declared with so much confidence and conviction in her words.
