Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Chapter 411 Attention Seeker

"I talked to Cindy and she mentioned Alice had spoken to her recently." As Jacob broached this topic, his face turned grave. He still hadn't made up his mind about Alice.

She was his ex-girlfriend but at the same time, she was also his enemy. He wished to let go of the past and start afresh.

Listening to his words, Sara simply shrugged her shoulders and said, "So what?"

The look of dissatisfaction on her face didn't go unnoticed by Jacob. However, he knew it was only normal for her to react like this. After all, Alice was his ex-girlfriend.

"That's not it. There is something else. I don't like to believe it is true, but..."

Jacob faltered for a moment. He knew Sara didn't like Alice. But he had to say what was on his mind.

However, he reminded himself to word his sentence carefully. He couldn't risk angering her. He went on, "Cindy told me that Alice wanted her to return to the Shi Group and take over the position as president's assistant. Do you know what this means?"

As he finished speaking, Sara slowly began to register what he was driving at. But she wasn't going to say it out loud.

She shook her head and said, "What?" She was curious to learn if Jacob's thoughts would mirror hers.

"My guess is Jonathan wants to know what happened to me in the past. He is using Cindy as his accomplice. There is another theory. Perhaps he wants something from me. After all, Cindy was my assistant. She knows almost everything about me,"

Jacob said, waiting to gauge her reaction before continuing.

He worried his next words would hurt Sara. But he didn't have any choice.

He let out a sigh. He wondered why he had such bad taste in the past.

Sara's clear eyes stared at Jacob.

"Is there something more you would like to add?" she asked. She wished to hear it all.
