A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

As expected, the KING Group's brand new line of skincare products sold like hotcakes.

Whenever people checked social media sites on their phones, they would find women of all ages showing off their newly bought personalized skincare products from the KING Group. Even men were rejoicing since they finally had the perfect present for their girlfriends and wives. That whole week, every lifestyle show on TV couldn't stop talking about the products either.

People appreciated the fact that the KING Group created their products with individuality in mind. Each set was tailor-made for a specific skin color, condition, and type. With that much attention to detail, it wasn't surprising that everyone went crazy over these new products.

Meanwhile, the KING Group's recent success left Sam feeling helpless. For him, it was unsettling to think that their competitor might catch up to them while Jacob was away. To add to his worries, the only thing he saw on his phone was Darren's brand new skincare products. As a result, he just fiddled with his phone like a toy and thought about whether it was the right time to ask for his boss's help.

But no matter how much he wanted to go to Jacob, the thought of bothering him while he was recovering in the hospital just didn't sit well with Sam. With that, his feelings of helplessness grew, and a subtle hint of worry started to show on his face bit by bit. A few hours later, Sam couldn't take it anymore. He knew the situation would only get worse if he didn't ask for Jacob's guidance. Sam knew in his heart that his boss was the only one who knew what to do in these kinds of situations. But the fact that Jacob's condition might worsen if he was to hear some bad news right now brought him to a standstill. In the end, Sam could only sit in a corner and accept the fact that he didn't know what to do.

Meanwhile, still at the hospital, Emily was making sure that Jacob was eating enough food to get his strength back. When breakfast was over, she thought that it would be nice to buy some gifts for their children when they finally saw them again. So she took out her phone, but as soon as she opened her favorite online store, the entire homepage, from top to bottom, was filled with the KING Group's brand new line of skincare products.

She was instantly hooked and couldn't stop scrolling down on her phone. But after a few seconds, she quickly realized that it wasn't right to get excited over the KING Group's products, given that she was married to the HT Group's CEO, who considered the KING Group to be their mortal enemy. Emily thought how unlucky it was that these products were made by that horrible man named Darren. There was no doubt in her mind that if some other company had released these products, she would've bought them in a blink of an eye.

Because of this, a subtle frown made its way onto Emily's face. But since she was right in front of Jacob, she knew it wasn't a good idea to show her sorrows to him while he was recovering.

Meanwhile, Jacob was lying in bed and sneakily paying close attention to his wife. No matter how hard Emily tried to hide her sadness, he could clearly see that something was bothering her just by the look on her face. Out of the corner of his eye, Jacob saw a glimpse of her phone. Considering that she was looking at an online store, he immediately thought she wanted to buy something expensive, but didn't want to waste money on it. With that in mind, Jacob lovingly said, “Don't worry about the price. You can buy whatever you want. Here, use my card.“

Even if he knew this wasn't enough to repay her kindness, he would still openheartedly buy her anything she wanted.

Especially since he knew that although the Gu Family was absurdly rich enough and didn't have to work for multiple generations, Emily rarely spent money for herself. That quality of Emily's had become even worse after having children. All of her money went to buying gifts for their three children. Whenever she did get new clothes, bags, or make-up, it would be a gift from Jacob or her friends.

It only took Emily a few seconds to realize that Jacob had misunderstood her. But since telling him the truth might cause him to feel worse, she simply went along with his assumption. “Oh, okay. I've been thinking of getting Beryl a new bag since the one she's using now is quite old. And I also thought it would nice to give the two boys some new toys when we go home.“
