บท 160: Cassie Picked Her Name

"Jax, isn't your mother's last name,  Cobrera?  Do you know the Cobreras from the South?"  Erik's eyes were dark but his voice was neutral.

A glint flashed across Jax's dark orbs.  He stiffened for a second but he relaxed as he lifted the wine glass to his mouth.  He gave an innocent smile.

"My mother was born and raised here in Central District.  But her roots were from the east.  Cobrera is a pretty common last name.  Why did you ask cousin?"

"Nothing.  I just heard that the Cobreras are the ones controlling a syndicate in the South and has started operating here in Central District."  Erik glanced briefly at Aryana.  "I had a recent encounter with them."  Erik intentionally lowered his voice so only Jax heard him.

Erik turned and followed Cassie to where her grandfather was.

A cheerful young lady who was standing on a makeshift platform called everyone's attention.
