Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Everyone's face turned deadly pale. Seeing this, Jacob had difficulty suppressing his snicker. He realized people enjoyed acting righteous when their own interests weren't involved. However, when the matter had something to do with them, their selfish side would come to the forefront.

In silence, he regarded everyone. Jonathan snorted angrily, evidently dissatisfied with the outcome. Everyone seemed to be sharing his view.

Jacob continued to remain a silent spectator. After all, the matter had been settled. No matter what the directors said, a change wasn't possible. Nobody had any choice. They could only breed resentment in their hearts.

Jacob was also compelled to act this way. His duty was to watch them admit defeat. From the moment he owned the president's title, it was known to him that he and the directors belonged to two separate groups.

They had each other for support. But Jacob was a one-man army, always having to fend for himself. On the very first day, both the groups had trodden a completely opposite direction. Their goals were different and so were their choices.

Standing on the high ground meant he was compelled to be his own boss. This was quite a lonely position.

Such depressing thoughts swirled through Jacob's mind. His cool gaze flitted from one person to another. These people had nothing against him. However, the second he assumed president's position, a relationship had been formed between them.

It was Jacob's utmost desire to have good communication with these people. But that felt like a pipe dream. He failed to have proper communication with them. As a result, these people ended up becoming his enemies. A sudden indifferent look appeared in Jacob's eyes.

Earlier, they had expressed their opinions confidently. But now, that confidence had disappeared into the thin air.

Putting on a hypocritical mask, they tried to delude themselves into thinking they were good people. Jacob's eyes regarded James. He tried to read the complicated expression on his uncle's face.

Suddenly, it struck him that his uncle had noticed the change in him.
