"What!" Laura asked surprised by her answer.
"Yes. Uncle has said that you can't stop this marriage, right? But he didn't say that Jack can't stop this marriage. Now all I have to do is to convince him to stop this marriage. I don't think he is a very cooperative guy but I'm going to make him agree anyway."
"Jenny what if Dad..... "
"He won't find out. Relax."
"But how will you do that without Dad finding out?"
"Leave that to me. And you know what? Even if you were not in love with Boris I wouldn't have let this marriage happen. This Jack is a total jerk."
Laura frowned in confusion. "How do you know that? You just met him!"
"I just know. Anyway, now let's go back to the living room. It's time for me to make a door for Mr. Arrogant Cooper for he'll need it soon to run away from you as far as possible!" Jenny said with an evil grin which made Laura laugh.
"You always manage to make me feel better." She said and added, "I don't know what I'd have done without you."
"Ah, come on now. Don't be such an emo and let's go."
"Okay", Laura smiled.
..............................
When they entered the living room, Mrs. Dayton smiled at them and asked: "Done talking?"
"Yeah," Jenny answered and turned to Jack and smiled at him sweetly.
"Hey Jack, now that you are going to be a family member I'd like to get to know you. I guess by now you already know that I and Laura are very close. So I have to know what kind of person she is going to marry!" Jenny said with a fake smile. "So can I talk to you in private?"
"Sure. Where do you want to talk?" he asked with a bored expression.
"Anywhere except here so that my uncle and aunt won't be able to save you from my ambush." she half-joked.
"Okay let's go."
Jenny turned to her uncle and aunt. "I hope you don't mind that I'm stealing him?"
"Go ahead, honey. It's your right. But don't trouble him too much."Mrs. Dayton replied.
"I won't. Bye" Jenny told them and left with Jack.
...................................
"So where are we going?" Jenny asked dropping the polite facade and getting straight to the point once they were outside of the house.
"In my office."
"Alright. Let's go."
They drove their cars to Jack's office. After they parked their cars, Jack lead Jenny to his office. When they entered, all the women who saw Jenny with Jack, glared at her with envy.
"Wow ladies, no need to feel jealous," Jenny said inwardly rolling her eyes. "As if I'd actually have to do anything with this jerk!"
Jack led her to his cabin. After entering his cabin he offered Jenny to sit down and after she did he also sat down on his seat her opposite side.
For a while they just stared at each other, narrowing their eyes as if challenging each other silently.
"Now shoot," said Jack finally breaking the silence.
"You can't marry Laura." Jenny blurted.
Jack's expression didn't change a bit.
"Why?" He asked calmly.
"Because she loves someone else," Jenny replied.
Jack's expression remained unchanged as if the news doesn't hold any significance at all! "So?"
Jenny got mad and exclaimed, "So you stop this marriage!"
"Why would I do that?"
"Didn't you hear me? She loves someone else!"
"So? That's her problem, not mine." He said shrugging.
Jenny couldn't believe the guts of this guy. She got madder and yelled at him "She is being forced into this marriage!"
"Well that's also her problem," He said arrogantly.
"Are you even human?" Jenny yelled.
"Are you blind?"
"You know what? I was right about you. You are a jerk. A big jerk."
"Oh. I'm flattered. Thanks for the compliment." Jack mocked.
"That's it!" Jenny stood up from the chair grabbed the collar of Jack's shirt and shouted in one breath, "Listen, dude. You are gonna stop this marriage and take the whole blame on your head and leave Laura alone for the rest of your life or else I'm gonna slice you into tiny little pieces and feed them to the dogs!"
"Oh really? I'd really love to see that."
Jenny's face became red with anger and she was opening her mouth to yell at Jack some more when Jack put his hand on her mouth and said - "Hush! Now you listen to me you childish fool! You really think that you can order me, Jack Cooper, to do something? And You think you can actually harm me?" He laughed. "I can do whatever I want and you won't be able to do anything to me. Wake up baby this is me, Jack Cooper, we are talking about. Have you got any idea how powerful I am? I can do whatever I want to do with your dear little cousin and you my dear can do absolutely nothing about it."
Jenny was shaking with anger and slapped his hand away from her mouth. Jack just smiled an arrogant smile. "Well. If you are really so concerned about your sister then I'll give you a chance. I'll do what you want, but in a condition."
"And.. what.. is.. that?" Jenny asked suspiciously emphasizing on each word while narrowing her eyes at him.
Jack smiled an evil smile. "I will stop this marriage. But then you will have to marry me."
