A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

While Jacob was recovering in the hospital, Bill was about to lose his mind. He kept cursing while pacing back and forth, just like an unfortunate ant that found itself on a hot stove.

“Damn you, Scott! I knew it was a mistake to leave you alive!“ Bill exclaimed while walking around in circles inside his office. He looked dreadful and his forehead was full of cold sweat.

Even if he was the one to come out on top that night, he still felt absolutely petrified.

For him, he knew he could easily deal with either Jacob or Louis by themselves. However, going against the two of them together was basically impossible. It was clear to him that he wouldn't be able to match their pace.

“What should I do?“ Bill worriedly asked himself. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he felt. Because of that, he nervously scratched his head to think of a solution. But instead of looking like he was deep in thought, it looked more like he was trying to make himself bald.

Suddenly, there was a knock on his door. But at that moment, Bill didn't have the energy to deal with anyone so he simply ignored it. Another knock came, pissing him off. Instead of opening the door, he angrily shouted at the person outside. “Fuck off! Don't bother me!“

“But boss, I have something important to tell you,“ the man outside meekly replied. He was scared for his life, but what he had to say was too important not to tell.

Sensing that the man still hasn't left, Bill exclaimed, “I already told you to get out of here! Why are you still standing there? I'm paying you good money to be reliable! If you have to come to me just to solve something simple, you can go to hell!“ Bill couldn't handle the worries in his mind anymore. As a result, he threw a fit of rage. He kicked and smashed everything he saw inside the room.

His wrath instilled a great sense of fear into his men. All the harsh words Bill was shouting and the ruckus he was causing felt like hundreds of needles going through their hearts.

Despite their concern, none of Bill's men dared to open their mouths. While Bill was trashing the room, they all lowered their heads in sorrow and kept quiet.

After a while, some exchanged looks with each other to try and figure out the situation. Each and every one of them had their own guesses as to what was going on. 'What's wrong with our boss?' 'Shouldn't he be happy that Jacob's in the hospital?'

'I guess old age really makes a man very irritable.'

'Did someone do something wrong?

It was as if they were little children getting scolded by their parents. After that, Bill threatened his men while pointing at them one by one. “Make sure this newcomer doesn't fall down and die when I'm finished with him. If
