A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"No, thank you. Jacob's coming to pick me up." Emily wanted to keep her distance from Jonas.

As an excellent and experienced psychologist, Jonas could easily sense her aversion. He did not push the conversation anymore, for he did not want her to see through him. Instead, he replied casually, "It's just as well. I still have some things to do anyway."

Watching Jonas turn around and leave unconcerned, Emily furrowed her eyebrows.

'There is indeed something wrong with that man, ' she thought as she watched him disappear into the distance.

The next day, in a conference room at the HT Group headquarters, a scheduled meeting took place.

Jacob was casually sitting on his chair and listening to the monthly reports from each department. The meeting covered a wide range of topics like financial expenditure, income, and new recruits.

It lasted for nearly two hours. As Sam handed him a cup of coffee, Jacob rubbed his temples and checked his watch. It was almost eleven o'clock in the morning.

After signing the last contract, he sipped his coffee and asked indifferently, "How is everything going at the factory?"

Sam knew his boss paid more attention to the factory than all the other issues. Therefore, he was not surprised at all when Jacob threw the question at him. Clearing his throat, he replied concisely, "The food processing chain has been completed, and the first batch of food has been manufactured. Everything is going smoothly and according to plan without any mistakes."

Hearing this, Jacob nodded, and a relieved smile spread across his lips.

This was the first piece of good news that he had heard during today's tedious meeting.

"Is there anything happening on Darren's side?" Jacob asked casually, but his eyes were fixed on Sam, eagerly waiting for an answer.

Sam knew what he was thinking, but he could not report much on this as Darren had not been doing anything recently.

He replied with hesitation, "Maybe they will have other plans soon."

"No matter what plans they concoct, I want to be kept in the loop, do you understand?" Jacob snapped, his eyes cold as ice.

Jonas had done such a horrendous thing to Emily and had even tried to hurt her. Jacob did not believe that such a person could just appear out of nowhere.

Sam's face darkened and replied, "I'll make sure of it. I'll keep an eye on them."
