Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Chapter 425 Knowledgeable

When Jonathan muttered those three words lowly, Thompson almost choked.

"What? Weren't you aware?" he asked. Shock was clearly written all over Thompson's face as he sat there with his mouth agape.

"I wasn't. I had no idea at all. I had done everything I could to get rid of him from the company. In the end, he was still able to solve it with a single word and no one could stop him," Jonathan hissed.

The man was staring fixedly at the ceiling with a blank expression. He could still clearly remember the events that happened from that day. He recalled himself standing in the crowd when Jacob shot him a meaningful look.

At the memory of his cousin's penetrating gaze, he involuntarily shivered. They held no malice nor any hints of emotion at all. It was entirely different from how the old Jacob used to look at him. In the past, the man deliberately showed his coldness towards him. During that day, however, there was not even a single ounce of it.

Jonathan's brows furrowed as his mouth turned grim. Until now, he couldn't decipher the mystery behind Jacob's expression.

He was expecting to be frustrated by his cousin's usual cold demeanor, yet it never came at all. He wasn't exactly happy as well, however. One thing that seemed to make him feel a bit more relieved was that he didn't see his cousin smiling that day. He might have felt uneasy otherwise.

"No one could stop him?" Thompson seemed to doubt what Jonathan said as he whispered those words to himself. His eyes narrowed and his hand was balled into a fist as he touched his mouth and started to think.

'Why did Jacob act that way? What was all this for?'

Brows furrowed in confusion, a lot of thoughts started to swim in his mind. He kept thinking of various possibilities, yet he wasn't able to arrive at an answer.

"There were no hints of anything strange, and he hadn't even mentioned anything out of the ordinary to anyone else?" With a baffled expression on his face, he sat up and leaned forward.

"Yes. There weren't any. When he returned that day, he directly stood in the company's meeting room and announced this matter. I had initially thought that it would take a lot of effort. However, it wasn't any difficult at all," Jonathan stated.

There was no emotion present in his face. After doing a lot of thinking, his eyes appeared distant and drained from feeling anything.
