A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1517 The Wedding Day

A man's hoarse and deep voice came from the other end of the phone. “What can I do for you?“

“Mr. Gu, I would like to meet up with you tomorrow,“

said Ethan in a cold tone, though his voice could barely be heard in the bedroom.

The next day, Jacob found himself inside a private room of a bar.

He crossed his legs casually and leisurely took a sip of his tea. From the corner of his eyes, he cautiously glanced at the man in a suit who had been standing in front of the French window for quite some time.

“What do you want from me?“ Jacob asked and took another small sip from his cup.

Ethan finally turned around, but didn't move closer. Instead, he shook his head and said in a deep voice, “Mr. Gu, I want to terminate our agreement.“

The person that he loved the most was already by his side, and all that Ethan wanted was to stay with her for the rest of his life.

Jacob's expression remained nonchalant. He slowly put the teacup down and calmly responded, “Give me a good reason.“

Instead of looking at him, Ethan turned back around and continued to gaze out of the window. He watched the clear blue sky and the white clouds passing by before saying, “She doesn't want me to go through with it.“

With a contemptuous smile and raised eyebrows, Jacob reminded him, “If I recall, you were the one who came to me first and offered to cooperate with me. Now, you want to revoke our agreement just because of that?“

Silence filled the room when Jacob finished talking. After a while, Ethan finally murmured, “I'm so sorry, Mr. Gu.“

In Ethan's heart, there was nobody else more important than Estelle. She was the only thing that mattered.

Jacob did not refute him. Instead, he paused for a while. Then, he looked up at him and asked, “Do you think that Bill will let you go if you nullify our agreement now?“

Before Ethan could open his mouth to reply, Jacob continued, “I don't doubt that you know him better than me. You know what kind of person Bill is. He is the type of person who will vow to seek revenge even over the smallest of things. Even if you managed to somehow get out of this mess now, remember that he is a man who never forgets. He won't let you or the people you care about the most go so easily.“

Jacob stressed the last few words and made sure that Ethan understood what he was implying.
