A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Seeing the look on Jacob's face, no one dared to speak up. They were supposed to talk among themselves at that moment but none of them could even utter a single word. All they could do was look at each other's eyes to hopefully find an answer. However, none of them knew what to do.

They wondered if they should even continue their reports. All of the employees present at the meeting were utterly terrified of being scolded by Jacob. They all hoped that someone would just propose to end the meeting so that they would be spared from his wrath. At the same time, Jacob's frightening display of anger petrified them all in their seats.

"I hired all of you to produce meaningful results, not to pay people to leech off my company! If you want to keep your jobs, I highly urge you to work harder, or else.

This meeting is over! Everyone, get out!" Jacob exclaimed in a distressed voice.

The moment he finished speaking, every employee inside that conference room ran outside like their lives were in danger.

Sam remained by Jacob's side, noticing that his boss' temper was a bit bizarre that day. Since he had worked for Jacob for so long, Sam naturally had the ability to observe the changes in his demeanor.

"Mr. Gu, is there something bothering you? Why are you so upset this early in the morning? Did someone cause you trouble?" Sam asked with a genuine concern for Jacob's welfare.

Normally, Jacob could always control his temper whenever something bad happened. In all these years that Sam had been working for Jacob, he had never seen him this agitated.

Jacob was so distressed that he was gritting his teeth together. He didn't even pay attention to Sam's question. "Send someone to keep an eye on Jonas. If anything happens, report it to me immediately."

Jacob had a feeling in his gut that Jonas was bound to slip up sometime soon.

Furthermore, if he were to find out about the doctor's dirty secrets, there was no doubt that he would use that to his advantage.

Sam could tell that Jacob's mind was somewhere else at that moment, and he knew it was useless to try and say anything else.

Judging by Jacob's face, it was clear that what had made him upset was still vividly bothering him inside his head. Sam didn't want to take the risk of lighting his boss' fuse once again.
