Valen wanted to kick against it but kept it in for now. If he agrees to what Jeslyn wants, doesn't that mean that Vera would be taking Jeslyn's place? No! That can't happen. He won't allow that to happen! He's definitely going to throw that woman out when he's out of here! 

Rex sighed; "If only those you are fighting for are so nice to you. Heya… this life is filled with narrow–minded people. No wonder there are so many narrow–minded people dominating the charts in the morgue."

Jeslyn chuckled. "Well deserved." 

"How can you say that of your uncle? I'm one of the smartest people in the world!" Rex boasted.

"You should have been where dad is if you were." Valen scoffed. 

"Hey, boy, I'm smarter than your dad–" he clamped his mouth shut when Maverick gave him a look.
