Everyone in the Jones family was ecstatic.
The problem that had been pestering them for so long was finally going to be resolved.
As people always say – when there’s a will, there’s a way. In this case, they’ve found Michael Jones’ grandson.
The younger ones were especially excited, so much so that they almost screamed out loud.
At last, they’ve managed to find a scapegoat.
Recently, the Jones family had gotten involved in a deadly feud during their business trip to Quebec. They had
provoked a certain warlord in Quebec and were severely punished by the local military.
The compensation was fifty billion. Not only did they have to expend profits from multiple projects, but they also
had to send 10 people from the Jones family to prison for a sentence of 30 years.
Those who would be sent to prison were basically giving up their lives.
The living conditions in the prison were hellish. The prisoners there were tortured every day and usually died a few
months after imprisonment.

10 members, two of them had to be a male and a female who were direct descendants of the main family.
This was to appease the warlord.
The people who had to suffer needed to be from the main branch of the Jones family, so other branches of said
family couldn’t substitute them.
Michael wasn’t willing to let his sons and grandsons suffer.
He didn’t want them to die in vain.
Each one of them were the Jones family’s future.
They were his precious sons and grandsons.
Patriarchal thinking was deeply ingrained within the Jones family.
The female descendant had already been decided. Even though it was Michael’s own granddaughter, he had no
qualms sending her over.
However, he was reluctant when it came to the male descendants.
The Joneses have been struggling with this matter for the past few days.
Now that another grandson has appeared, he could replace them as a scapegoat.
They were finally able to work out a solution.
They hurriedly asked, “Grandpa, where is this person? We need to bring him over immediately.”
Michael smiled and replied, “You all won’t need to worry about this. I’ve already sent some people to pick him up.”
The eldest son, Daniel Jones, had questions of his own. “Dad, I don’t think it’s a good idea to use Levi as a
scapegoat recklessly. If the Garrison family finds out, the blame is….”
“Don’t worry about it. He’s been abandoned by the Garrison family. Otherwise, why has the Garrison family not
searched for him even once in the past 20 years? There’s no such person in the Garrison family tree! We don’t
have to worry about anything.”
Everyone was relieved when they heard Michael’s definitive answer.
The Jones family problem was finally resolved.
No one could say anything if Michael’s grandson, Levi, was sent to prison.

“That’s right. Did you think such a grandson would appear out of nowhere?”
Everyone cachinnated.
The younger generations, in particular, were exceptionally joyful.
Some of them were performing badly, so they were constantly worried about getting chosen to become the
scapegoat.
With the appearance of Levi, nothing was going to happen to them anymore.
Michael stroke his beard and laughed. “Since this kid is going to take the fall for the Jones family, we shouldn’t let
him go in vain. We will fulfill all his wishes until then.”
“Dad, don’t worry. We’ll take care of it!”
Everyone in the room was excited.
The entire Jones family was waiting for Levi Garrison’s arrival.
He had no idea that he was already selected to become the Jones family’s scapegoat.
The situation was far worse than he had imagined.
The sudden appearance of his grandfather caught Levi off guard.
Parents? Family? Relatives? Are they related to me? If they really did care about me, would they have abandoned
me? If they really regretted leaving me behind, they should have found me a long time ago!
