Chapter 76 Alliance of Heroes

Although Jacob’s face had turned red while he stood nearby, he did not have the courage to say anything in his own defense. Paul was right. If a family depended on a woman, what kind of family was that? Six years ago, when something major happened to Winifred, things would not have been so terrible for their family if Jacob had been more courageous. For the past six years, Winifred and Blair had to suffer cold gazes and sarcastic remarks from the Zea family. Although Jacob felt very bad about it, he could not find the courage to challenge his own family. Therefore, he accepted everything bad which happened to and around him. Even his wife, Helen Cole, had a more unyielding personality than him. What kind of a man was he to not be able to protect his wife and daughter? It justified why Paul treated him so harshly as his father-in-law. Sometimes, even Jacob looked down on himself. “I’m going to watch the fighting competition on the flower boat,” said Paul, looking at Christine unhappily.
