A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

After everything Jacob had said, Darren was just an inch away from completely losing his temper. But the thought that Bonnie was suffering entirely because of him forced him to control his anger. With that said, Darren clenched both of his fists under the table and tried his best to calm himself down.

“I swear I won't take revenge on the Gu Family. From now on, the Xu Family and the Gu Family will not meddle in each other's affairs anymore.“ Taking Darren's whole life into consideration, this was his biggest admittance of defeat. Even though he wanted to tear Jacob into pieces with his own hands, he had to give up this fight for Bonnie's sake.

Unfortunately, Jacob had very little reason to believe in Darren's promise. As his rival, he couldn't believe a single word that came out of his mouth. 'Did Darren ever think of letting me go when he set me up? How could he ask me to be so kind now?' Jacob thought.

“Mr. Xu, do you really think I'll let you off that easily? Everyone in the business world knows what kind of man I am. I am a bully who will always seek revenge even for the smallest grievance. Anyone who offends me can be sure that I'll get them back. The fact that you want me to forget everything that you've done to me and live the rest of our lives as if we've never known each other makes you a truly naive man. Since I've known you, I've never feared going up against you.“

Jacob stood his ground. He made it very clear that he would never hand over Bonnie to Darren.

At that moment, Darren felt utterly humiliated. He lowered his head in embarrassment, something he had never done since he was a child. Jacob's words made him truly feel like he was a man incapable of anything.

Darren finally understood why Jacob had agreed to meet him. From the very start, there were no deals to be made. He was only there to add insult to injury and stomp on a man who was already on the ground.

With this realization, Darren finally snapped. He rushed over to Jacob and punched him right in the face.

Jacob was stunned and unable to dodge. He hadn't expected that Darren would act this way. But Jacob wasn't a man who would back down from a fight. In a blink of an eye, he got back up and started throwing punches of his own.

The two of them were the greatest businessmen in the city, but they fought like professional boxers.

Punches were thrown back and forth, leaving no room for each other to catch their breath. After a while, Jacob had the upper hand. With his last punch, Darren was knocked down to the ground.

Jacob suffered a few bruises on his face and body. On the other hand, Darren looked like he'd been beaten up by more than a dozen men.

Knowing he had already won, Jacob picked up his coat and turned around to leave. But before doing so, he looked straight into Darren's eyes.

Then, he uttered the most cold-hearted words a man could ever hear.

“It's quite unfortunate that Bonnie chose such a weak man as a lover.“
