Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 2508

"Brother, he—" Jewel's expression changed, and she rushed over to explain, but Darryl cut her off.

"Miss, I'll let you talk to your family. I'll go for a walk outside," Darryl said to Jewel with a smile. At the same time, he winked at Jewel.

Darryl told Chester that he would like to conceal the fact that he had returned, so he could not reveal his identity to the Moore family.

Furthermore, Jewel had just been reunited with her family. Darryl wanted to give her space to get along well with her family.

Jewel was astute; she picked up on the hint and nodded.

Then, she watched Darryl's back as he walked out of the hall.

Then, Jewel sat in a chair to which John had directed her.

"Jewel, your parents took you when they escaped from our enemies back then. I was very heartbroken." John sighed and said regretfully, "I thought we would meet again soon, but as a result, your parents and I never got to meet again."

John smiled, and he felt slightly relieved. "Now that I've found you, I think your parents can rest in peace."

Jewel nodded, sad and on the verge of crying.

For more than ten years, she had always thought that she was an orphan. She was astounded to learn that she hailed from such a distinguished family.

However, after she had spent so much time with Darryl, Jewel learned a lot at the Elysium Gate and was able to control her emotions well.

Jewel thought of something and asked softly, "Uncle, before I came here, I heard Chris say that our family is in trouble and I need to help out. What's going on?"

Err…

John sighed, finding it difficult to explain to Jewel.

"Jewel." Isabelle stood up and smiled at Jewel. "It's nice that you have that kind of intention. Actually, we have some trouble with the family business. In the past two years, the cultivation sects in the Nine Continent have ventured into the business sector, and it is difficult for business families like us to continue our trades."

Isabelle brought Keane into the group.

"Recently, we are about to run out of capital, and we've had no choice but to shut down several industries..."

Jewel got what Keane meant, so she interrupted him. "You... You want me to get help from the Elysium Gate? That is absolutely impossible. The Elysium Gate has strict rules, and none of us are allowed to participate in any type of business."

Jewel was displeased with Bruce's actions, but she did not show it on her face.

"Brother Bruce!" Keane greeted Bruce with a big grin. "Please don't mind that I've asked you to come by so abruptly."

At the same time, Keane and everyone around him also stood up to greet Bruce.

The Moore family was losing their influence in the community, and they needed a large amount of money urgently for emergency help. Bruce was Keane's friend, and he had a net worth of billions of bucks, so he seemed like the only help the Moore family could get.

"No worries, mate." Bruce smiled, his gaze fixed on Jewel.

Then, Bruce approached Jewel with what he thought was a very gentlemanly tone.

"Miss Jewel Moore, I am thrilled to see you again. Don't worry; you will be my one and only in the future. I will protect you and cherish you for the rest of my life." He was correct about Jewel's surname being Moore.

Jewel was stunned to hear that.

'What's going on? What did he mean when he said he'd protect me for the rest of my life?'
