Chapter 456 - No Way Back
Chapter 456
Peter and the others echoed, “That’s right, Dad. I don’t believe you would do such a thing.”
Looking at his sons’ steadfast and trusting gazes, Jack lowered his eyes and let out a long sigh.
“Everyone, I’m afraid our family is still unaware that we’ve fallen victim to someone’s scheme this time. We’ve lost. Listen to me. Now is not the time to explain things. Wait for me. I’ll explain everything to our country and accept the punishment I deserve. Handle the rest of Fowler Corporation’s matters, and save enough strength and money for yourselves. Then, bring your mother to Meridonia to stay with Raymond.
“Remember that no matter what happens, you shouldn’t look back. Don’t worry about me. I can take care of myself. The one you have to take care of is your mother. Do you understand?”
“What! Dad, are you saying… that something bad will happen?”
“Promise me, Henry. Don’t ask too many questions. If you still believe in me, your father, do as I say.”
Jack interrupted Henry right away.
After mustering all his strength to speak, Jack could not help but cough violently,
Tears rolled down Henry’s face as he clenched his fists tightly. In the end, he could only nod. “I understand… Dad, I’ll do everything according to your instructions…”
“Henry…”
Aaron and the others had tears in their eyes. They felt that their world was about to end.
Why did this happen? They thought they were about to move on from the trauma of losing Jane and that their lives were getting better, but in the blink of an eye, it was as if everything they had built had collapsed and shattered.
What did the Fowler family do wrong? Or had they treated Jane too unfairly? Did their past catch up to them?
“Be good and listen to me. Listen to Henry. The worst thing I did was not take responsibility for the company back then. I also mistakenly believed in Madelyn and hurt Jane, kicking Jane out of our family. Perhaps… I’m the reason why we’ve ended up here. I’m the reason why your mother has become like this. It’s my karma.
“Now, I have to act”
like a man and bear this responsibility. I can’t hide anymore. This matter has weighed on my heart for a long time. I knew the day of reckoning would come, and I couldn’t escape it. What I’m most worried about is your mother… Only you can save her. Keep your mother safe.

The despair and emptiness they saw in Jack had been swept away. A brand new vigor had burst forth. again.
The police officer stepped forward and cuffed Jack’s wrists with cold metal handcuffs. He covered Jack’s hands with a black cloth and said, “Please come with us, Mr. Fowler.”
To be fair, the police did not want to believe that Jack would do such a thing. He was the patriotic entrepreneur who had donated to countless charity projects and elementary schools and established a foundation to help countless youths realize their entrepreneurial dreams. He had brought the entire nation to greater heights, making it stand proud and tall.
But… one could never judge a book by its cover.
In the eyes of the law, the only thing everyone could count on was the word “evidence”.
“Okay.”
Jack was resigned to his fate. He strode away.
Or rather…
Jack left, feeling relieved.
Finally, he could remove the thorn in his flesh that had bothered him for a long time.
Even if he could not bear the cost of it all.
However, after experiencing this ordeal, he could finally be truly redeemed.
Recently, too many disasters fell on the Fowler family. Jack had already had a premonition about the day arriving. He was prepared.
“Dad…”
However, just as Henry and the others seemed to have lost their minds and could not move forward…
No one noticed that…
Anna, who was in the ICU ward and was diagnosed by the doctor to be in a coma, had tears flowing from her closed eyes.
She wriggled her fingertips with all her might. In between her breaths, she spat out three words with difficulty.
“Jack… No. Don’t…”
