Chapter 57
Xavier was reviewing the documents when Jacob entered. He paused and looked up at him.
"Stop all support for the K&T Inc."
Jacob blinked. "You knew?"
All these years, K&T Inc's development depended on the Jones Group's help.
Jacob thought that Xavier would do this because he knew about the video.
"What should I know?" Xavier raised his eyebrows slightly.
Jacob was a little confused and showed him the video of Estella fighting in the mall.
"Isn't that why you decided to teach them a lesson?"
Xavier's expression was as dark as the day before the storm. "They... Well done."
Xavier leaned back and the cloudy sky turned sunny in an instant.
Jacob was confused and did not know what that meant by Xavier's unpredictable expression.
He carefully asked. "Aren't you angry? Many of the comments are talking about the Jones Family. Mr.
Jones hates gossip the most."
"Let them keep doing this hard."
Then he would have the excuse to cancel the wedding.
Jacob took a deep breath and understood what Xavier meant. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
It turned out that his boss had already thought about it.
'But who does he do it for?'
'Could it be...'
"Are you serious about Arya?" Although he had changed his mind about Arya now, he didn't think Arya
deserved to be with Xavier.
At least she didn't deserve to be his wife.
Xavier seemed to see through Jacob's mind, but he was a little amused. "What kind of woman do you
think suits me? A beautiful face? Or a strong family background as me?"
Jacob thought for a moment. "I think a woman who can marry into the Jones Family must have a clean
family background, be kind, and the important thing is that she must be a virgin."
Xavier's expression froze. Jacob just touched the soft spot.
Although Arya escaped this time, she was not a virgin.
Xavier was unhappy, very unhappy, and angry.
"Jacob, you are arranged to clean the ladies' room in the company this month."
Jacob looked confused. 'What mistake did I make?'
"I'm a man? It's not appropriate..."
"Two months."
"OK, I'll go." Jacob wanted to cry. He didn't know what mistake he made.
He wanted to ask, but he didn't dare.
He was afraid that two months would change into three months.
"You rushed in, didn't you just want to see me embarrassed? Is that so funny?" Xavier's meaningful
gaze fell on his phone.
Jacob coughed unnaturally. "Well, I have something else to do. I'll go first."
Jacob grabbed his phone and ran away.
If he had known, he would never have gloated at Xavier.
Jacob wanted to cry. It was not funny at all.
In the Harrison Family.
Estella came back in a mess. Her new fur coat was damaged when she fought with her poker buddy. It
didn't look good on her now.
Estella took off her coat and threw it on the sofa irritably.
"Mom!"
Harriet came downstairs angrily. When she saw Estella's disheveled face, she was even angrier.
When Estella saw her daughter, she began to complain and didn't notice Harriet's gloomy face. "She
was jealous of me having such a good daughter like you. She was jealous..."
"Shut up!" Harriet snapped at Estella.
"Mom, what did you do outside?"
Estella was stunned by the roar. "I didn't do anything. I just met a b*tch. She provoked me and we had
a quarrel."
Harriet questioned, "Just a quarrel?"
Harriet showed her the video. "Look at these comments. Look at what they said!"
Estella didn't know, but she knew how much Xavier hated being discussed.
And there were no good words.
Estella was so domineering that these comments didn't take her side.
Estella was also confused. She didn't know that someone would upload the video to the Internet.
"Mom, do you feel happy if you ruin my wedding? Marshal makes us worry, so will you?"
Harriet was really pissed.
They were holding her back, and none of them could help her.
"It's not that terrible. Why is it related to your marriage?" Estella didn't think it was that serious.
"You must be thinking too much," Estella comforted.
"Do you know Xavier better than I do? I know exactly what he hates." Harriet's expression was horrible.
She gritted her teeth. Her mother was driven her crazy.
"Sooner or later, you will ruin me." Harriet didn't want to see Estella, so she turned around and went
upstairs.
"Harriet..."
Estella rarely saw her so angry, and she turned to be a little worried.
The Jones Family was paramount and powerful but kept a low profile.
She didn't mean it. Someone else provoked her first.
Just as she was getting restless, the phone in her pocket rang and a message was sent.
She was not interested in reading it now. Just as she was about to put it back in her pocket, she
accidentally clicked on the play button.
The picture was of her dealing with Howard. Her words and actions were clear.
Estella's face was ferocious and twisted.
She was already angry. Seeing such a threatening video, she was about to go crazy.
Without thinking, she dialed the number.
"What do you mean?!"
Howard was surprised that she called so soon.
It seemed that she was furious and called him out of rush.
"I didn't mean anything. I just want to show you the video of us planning something bad. Is it clear?"
Estella's chest heaved in anger and cursed, "Bastard, delete it immediately!"
"I'm afraid not. Such a good video should be known to more people."
Estella was trembling and angry.
"You, you want to blackmail me again?"
"Well, blackmailing sounds nit good. I just want to tell you that I'm short of money again. Why don't you
give me some?"
Howard said rascally.
"Don't think about it. I will never give it to you!" Estella angrily hung up the phone.
Her body was still trembling uncontrollably. These people were too hateful.
Now that Harriet was angry, Estella didn't dare to look for her.
For a moment, she couldn't make up her mind.
Suddenly the door was pushed open and Richard walked in with a grim face.
Estella frowned and she was still angry. Her tone was not very pleasant. "Shouldn't you be at the
company now? Why did you come home?"
"Where's Harriet? Call her here." Richard sat down on the sofa and waited.
Estella didn't know what was going on, so she had to call Harriet.
Harriet was not as angry as she had just been. She calmed down a little.
"Dad, what did you call me for?"
Richard looked up at his daughter. "Did you and Xavier fight?"
Harriet was confused. "No."
Richard did not hide it from her. "The raw materials provided by the Jones Group are no longer
available to our company. Many customers have found various reasons to terminate the contracts."
Many companies had cooperated with them for the sake of the Jones Group.
As soon as the Jones Group appeared to suppress K&T Inc, they immediately changed their attitude.
They had sharp eyes. The moment they terminated the contracts with K&T Inc, they started a
partnership with the Jones Group.
This was clear that the Jones Group was dissatisfied with K&T Inc.
Seeing the situation clearly, everyone suppressed the K&T Inc to please the Jones Group.
Many K&T Inc projects were halfway done and had to be stopped.
