Chapter 786 Bring Her Back
During this uncontrollable situation, Jared was the Huffman family's pillar.
Anson was getting old. He might have once dominated the scene, but now he had to admit that he was no longer in his prime.
However, entrusting a big chunk of the Huffman family affairs to Trinity might be a strain on her.
Trinity was still a woman, no matter how strong she was. Not just anyone could handle the Huffman family business. There were many risks even within her own sphere of influence. That was something Anson was well aware of.
"Jared..."
Anson stared at Jared for some time while the latter looked solemnly back at him. "Mr. Anson."
I thought he had something to discuss with Jared in private, so I glanced at Atlas and quickly suggested, "Maybe we should step away."
But as soon as I said that, Anson raised his hand. "There's no need for that. You're not outsiders."
I stopped in my tracks and returned to my spot.
He thought for a moment, but only said a few words to Jared. "Bring her back."
My heart felt heavy. I knew the weight behind those words.
He didn't even ask Jared to bring her back alive. I didn't know what he meant.
I could still feel Anson's unease. After all, Trinity was his precious daughter.
He had never married anyone else after Trinity's mother, which showed just how much he loved her. It was also clear that he cherished Trinity, who had lost her mother at a young age.
Trinity was Anson's soft spot. Anyone could tell how important she was to him.
I was sure that deep down, he was still anxious.
"Mr. Anson," I instinctively stood behind him. "Trinity will be fine."
Jared nodded solemnly. "I'll bring her back safely!"
"Alright. You go
ahead. I'll deal with

things in Bourdamun and join you later," Atlas said to Jared. "After all, know Jitador better than you do. Once you arrive, my people will be at your disposal. I'll tell Graysont to you immediately. He's familiar with Jitador as well. It'll be good to
have another mind at work."
I realized just how important Grayson was to Atlas, but he had asked Grayson to work for me back then.
Jared didn't hesitate and looked at Anson. "I'll leave immediately, sir."Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Anson nodded. "Alright."
Jared turned without hesitation and walked away, followed closely by a few personal attendants.
Atlas immediately called Grayson
and instructed him to go to the airport and meet Jared. After
briefing Kim, he looked at me and et
said, "You stay here with Anson Chloe. I have some business to attend to. I'll come to pick you up later."
I nodded immediately. "Okay."
"I'll take my leave, Anson." Atlas turned and left as well.
"Feel free to make yourself at home, Chloe. It's your first time back in the Huffman family, after all, even if it is under unusual circumstances."
"I know this is my home too. That's why I came back. Don't worry, Trinity will be fine. Trust us." I sat next to him and tried to comfort him.
I remembered the first time I met him. It was when Trinity was in critical condition, and he was furious.
He was on the verge of collapse, but fortunately, Bella managed to comfort him with her gentle words. I didn't know what she had said, but it seemed that the best way to alleviate a situation like this was to soothe him quietly.
Anson lowered his head. "Trinity's
going through a lot. It's my fault. I shouldn't have let her bear such a heavy burden as a girl. I was selfish. She should have been able to enjoy her life experiencing romance, getting married, and having children like other girls," he said softly, sounding desolate.
I suddenly felt he had aged significantly.
"Don't think about it like that. Maybe this was just her fate."
