You Are The Pursuit of My Life novel Chapter 219

"You are?" Jackson looked at that person doubtfully. He combed through his memory but could not recognise the man in front of him.

"It's me, Larry! You don't recognize me anymore?" The man introduced himself. Jackson had no idea who Larry or Leslie or whatever name he had. From his name, he assumed that Larry had to be one of the less noticeable small fry gangsters that he used to hang out with.

"Jackson, when did you come back?" Larry asked him.

"I just came back today!"

"Oh, how come no one knew about your return? My bad. Since I've run into you, let me welcome you back," Larry said as he reached out his hand and dragged Jackson over to his car beside him.

Even a small gangster like him owned a car. Jackson himself did not even have a home. The comparison was depressing.

However, having someone care about him was better than nothing. Jackson wanted to find someone to catch him up on what was going on anyway. So, he decided to follow Larry to a restaurant nearby.

Larry ordered a variety of dishes as well as a nice bottle of wine. Him and Jackson enjoyed their feast as they chatted away. According to Larry, some of the gangsters that Jackson used to know had gone overseas, some had retired in wealth, while some were in prison. In short, not many of them were around anymore.

After the discussion, Jackson realized that he could no longer rekindle his old profession. The gangsters around were all new now, and they definitely would not accept him as their leader. He started to become anxious.

How would he survive if no one would listen to him? Apart from fighting and taking advantage of others, he did not really know how to do anything else.

Jackson thought of his only sister, Rosa. He asked Larry if he knew anything about her and Larry told him that she had left town to work, he had no idea where she had gone.

Then, Jackson thought of Loraine. Speaking of her, he felt so ashamed. That b*tch was really something. When he was in his prime, she stuck by him easily and lived off his glory. However, when he got into trouble, she immediately turned around and acted as if she didn't know him at all. She did not wait at home for him and even sent his son off to someone else. If he ever found out about her whereabouts, he would definitely skin her alive.

At present, he had nowhere to go, so he had to ask about Loraine's whereabouts. Considering what that b*tch had done, she was most likely afraid of him. If he could find her and exploit her, he would be able to live comfortably for a while.

Larry had no idea about Loraine either. When he heard that Jackson had nowhere to stay and no money to live, he patted his chest and suggested, "Jackson, if you don't mind, you can stay with me. I won't let you starve on the streets."

Jackson was elated. What he needed most right now was a place to stay. He was extremely grateful to Larry. Larry wasn't joking around either, and after dinner, he immediately brought Jackson over to his place.

Larry's place was pretty decent. Jackson asked him what he was up to nowadays and Larry told him he helped oversee a nightclub. Jackson's eyes lit up at the mention of this. A nightclub was the perfect place for him to work, so he asked Larry to help him find a similar job. Naturally, Larry was very agreeable. He told Jackson to rest a couple days. Once he was well rested, Larry would bring him to go look for a job.

If it wasn't obvious by now, Larry was not some gangster from Cat Alley, instead he was working for Edric. Loraine had betrayed the Myers family and done such a horrible thing to his mother despite how well they had treated her. Edric naturally could not let this pass. It would be going too easy on Loraine to just throw her in jail. He wanted her to suffer, and as Loraine's ex-partner, Jackson was the perfect man for the job.

Knowing Jackson's temper, the fact that Loraine had given birth to his son meant that she got labelled as his woman for life. Without his permission, there was no way she could be with any other man. However, not only did Loraine remarry, she had also sent Jackson's son away.

That was a huge insult to Jackson. If he knew where Loraine was, there was no way he would not torture her.

Hence, Edric purposely arranged for his men to wait at Cat Alley for the down- hearted Jackson. First, he wanted to settle Jackson somewhere else, and then let him in on Loraine's whereabouts. After that, all Edric had to do was to let the show unfold.

After spending a couple days at Larry's, Jackson asked him again about getting a job.

Larry asked John for help and John told him to bring Jackson to the nightclub for a couple days and wait for his orders. After receiving his orders, Larry immediately arranged for Jackson to work at the nightclub.

While that was going on, Loraine had already carried out her plan with Cecilia. Cecilia's miscarriage became known to Edric, who found the incident weird. Although Loraine was ruthless, Rosa's baby was her grandchild after all, so how could she do that to her own family?

Was there something behind Cecilia's identity? He ordered John to investigate her and ended up getting a huge surprise. It turned out that Cecilia was Jackson's younger sister Rosa. That meant that she was Tommy's aunt and they had committed incest. It was no wonder Loraine would act so cruelly.

Edric sneered in his heart. It seemed like he had better tell Tommy what Loraine had done to the child in Rosa's belly. That would definitely cause a rift between them.
