Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Chapter 134 Strange

Jacob nodded, "Okay."

Sara didn't say anything. Jacob's farfetched reason fooled James so easily. But it didn't matter.

Jacob was in the front, followed by Sara. The two of them went to the dining room one after the other. Since they came to the villa yesterday, the two of them had been like this. They kept a distance all the time and rarely walked side by side.

James squinted slightly at the two people in front of him who were walking one after another. He was worried about the young couple, but he had no choice. Just like what happened in the past on himself, he always felt that the opportunity was in his hand, but he didn't know that the opportunity would disappear in an instant. The longer the time was, the less the opportunity would be.

After breakfast in the afternoon, Michael stood at the gate of the villa and watched Jacob, Sara and his younger brother get in the car.

Jacob and Sara waved goodbye to Michael and told him to take care of himself. Michael nodded repeatedly. Seeing the car driving away, Michael couldn't help but burst into tears. He had never been so lonely before.

The feeling of separation forever struck Michael's heart. Even the strongest man could not control himself at such a moment. The servant who was pushing the wheelchair aside didn't know whether to push him or not. He had no choice but to wait aside, trembling with fear.

Michael had stood at the door in the cold wind for a long time before he asked the servant to push him in. Although his head ached as soon as he got a blow of cold wind, he still wanted to have a clear feeling at this moment. He was afraid that when he was about to die in the future, he would not even have such a painful feeling.

The cold wind swept over Michael's face. After a long time, even the servant next to him felt himself frozen stiff. Then Michael said gently, "Well, let's go back."

The servant's hands that were pushing the wheelchair became stiff. He was secretly glad that Mr. Michael was finally going to enter the room.

Jacob drove the car, while Sara and James sat in the back row. He fixed his eyes on the road ahead. He couldn't forget his father's aged face just now.

He even wanted to leave all these things behind and accompany his father. However, he knew that his father's greatest hope was that he could support the whole family and the ancestral business. If he gave up now, he would be looked down upon.

A man should stand tall and upright. There was no other reason or excuse for him. He had to hold on.

From time to time, Sara looked up at Jacob's expression in the rear-view mirror in front of her. She knew that under Jacob's cold appearance, there was a fragile heart. She knew him very well. When they got on the car just now, Jacob wiped the corner of his eyes secretly.

If it were Sara, she would have stayed by her father's side, but Jacob was different. What he carried was not only a company, but also Michael's lifelong efforts and heroic dreams.

Even for Michael's sake, Jacob couldn't lose.

Even if no one else gave Jacob the pressure, he knew that the pressure would always be given by himself. Only he himself could turn pressure into motivation.

The pressure was like an egg, breaking through from the inside, it would be a new life, but breaking through from the outside, it would just be an egg.

It was already 8 o'clock in the evening when Jacob sent Sara home. Her home was out of his way, so he had to turn and see her off first.

When Sara got out of the car, she said goodbye to James kindly. Jacob just glanced at her, saying nothing. Sara knew that it was meaningless to say it or not. So she nodded to Jacob.

Jacob ignored her and drove away quickly. A sense of loss rose in Sara's heart. She was really free in the future. She had fought for her freedom for so long, but she felt it meaningless after she really got it.

Jacob returned to the villa and settled down James. Then he lay on the sofa in the living room and began to call his assistant. At that time, James was eating chips and watching TV. Winnie was preparing the midnight snack for the two of them in the kitchen. Dora had grown bigger, and now was lying obediently in her bed. The weather was cold, and the dog was not in a good mood either.

The voice of the TV was just right. Jacob heard the somewhat strange but familiar female voice on the phone, "Hello, Mr. Jacob. I have investigated the matter you informed me."

"How about it?" Jacob said in a cold voice. Cindy didn't think there was anything wrong with Jacob's tone. After all, bossed were the same.

"Mr. Jacob, the jewelry store of Thompson is now flourishing. Previously, another jewelry store had already gained a firm foothold in the jewelry industry, but the rise of Thompson's company quickly replaced its position. Now, all of the jewelry shops of Thompson are monopolized exclusively, and the supplier is a famous jewelry merchant in South Africa..." Cindy said without stop.

Hearing a lot of compliments about Thompson, Jacob frowned and said, "I don't want to hear these words to boost the morale of the other party. I just want to know the weakness of his company which can lead to the bankrupt in a short time."

"Unless there is something irreparable happened in the jewelry store, or there is something wrong with the suppliers." Cindy didn't expect that Jacob would speak out his intention so directly without hiding it from her.

"So how can something irreversible happen?" Jacob stood up, took out a cigarette and walked to the balcony. He needed to smoke to calm himself down when he was thinking.

James had already heard the content of Jacob's phone call, and he couldn't help thinking about Jacob's question.

"Mr. Jacob, do you really want me to tell you?" Cindy asked tentatively. Although she did have the means to do so, she was afraid that it would not be good for her to show it.

"Forget it. Keep an eye on the development of the new energy project. From this week on, the company has entered the accelerated operation stage. Don't make any mistakes, do you understand?" Jacob drew heavily on his cigarette and looked at the seductive night scene in front of him. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Jacob were so soft hearted before that some small potatoes came to bully him. Now, he would never be soft hearted.

"By the way, keep an eye on Jonathan for me. If there is anything wrong, let me know at any time. It's better to let him 'make trouble'. If he does, we can directly fire him." Jacob said with a fake smile, which made Cindy feel a chill on her back.

"I see, Mr. Jacob. Is there anything else I can do for you?" Cindy wrote down Jacob's request on her notebook, not because she had a bad memory, but because she could write down the plan after that.

"Hire two bodyguards for me. It's not safe recently. They'd better follow me secretly." Jacob squinted his eyes. He still remembered the car accident last time, so he had to learn a lesson.

"Okay. Boss. I see. I will do what you ask me to do as soon as possible." Cindy hung up the phone quickly after finishing her words.

Jacob breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had a prejudice against female assistants before. He thought that the female assistants were only focused on the boss instead of work. Now this new assistant made Jacob realize his prejudice. It seemed that the human resource department had found a good person this time.

After hanging up the phone and walking to the living room, James looked up at him and asked, "Jacob, do you have any plans for the things you said?"

Jacob shook his head and said, "I have a preliminary idea. It's not mature yet."

James changed the subject. In fact, he already knew the answer, but he still wanted to confirm it, "Why do you want to destroy his company?"

"He did something bad to me last time. Although I don't have any evidence, I'm still investigating. Besides, he is ambitious for Sara." Jacob's eyes were filled with coldness when he talked about Sara. It was absolutely unforgivable that Thompson dared to covet his woman.
