A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

In the CEO office of the KING Group, Darren sat comfortably in his chair with a contented grin on his face.

Harlan was telling him about what had happened to Jacob the past few days. Darren learned that Jacob was having trouble with his wife and that his attention was obviously diverted from work. The fact that his sworn rival was temporarily out of the picture pleased Darren and made him feel somewhat relieved.

With a great opportunity in front of him, Darren gave an order to Harlan. "Since Jacob is busy with his marriage, we have to use this time to speed up the development of the company as soon as possible. I need you to keep an eye on all departments. Make sure nothing goes wrong during this advantageous position we currently hold."

Harlan nodded and replied, "Yes, Mr. Xu. Jacob is quite a terrifying business rival, so I'll try to think of something to add to his problems so that he completely forgets about us. You can count on me."

Darren then added, "Jonas isn't a simple man. We can't trust him. Someday, he might pose a threat to us. Although he seems like a good-natured man, we can't let our guard down."

Harlan found what Darren said to be quite reasonable. He nodded in agreement once again. "I'll get someone to take a look at this Jonas. I want to make sure that he doesn't become a threat to us as well."

Meanwhile, in his office, Jacob shouted in a fit of rage. "Jonas! Jonas again! Damn that man! Why does he have to ruin everything? Emily is spending more time taking care of that man in the hospital than me! It honestly feels like she has forgotten that she has a husband!"

There wasn't any time to fix their problems with each other since she was always at the hospital. And when she was at home, Emily would act as if Jacob wasn't even there since things hadn't been patched up between them.

In the past, Jacob could endure being ignored by Emily. After all, he wasn't a clingy man. But now, the situation was completely different. Another man was the cause of his wife's standoffish behavior. This made Jacob want to play some dirty tricks of his own.

The main reason why Jacob's career had developed as fast as it had was that he never second guessed himself. He always did what he wanted, no matter what it was as long as he believed that it was a good idea. His confidence had been his greatest strength over all those years.

And at that moment, he knew that he needed to use the confidence that he had picked up from the grueling business world to his advantage. A plan was starting to brew in his mind. He didn't hesitate to put this plan of his into action right away. He quickly dialed Sam's number.
