Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Since Sara was at the company and Winnie went out with Dora, Jacob had nothing else to do but lie there alone.

While several concerns crept up into his mind, a sudden flash of anxiety appeared in his eyes. He hadn't heard from James recently. Come to think of it, he hadn't gotten any news from Generalist as well.

There were some people who liked to announce their presence to everyone when they were about to leave, yet they never ended up doing it. On the other hand, some people would just exit quietly during a fine sunny afternoon.

These were the type of people who, regardless of how many people tried to persuade them to stay, were absolutely firm with their decision of leaving. Most of the time, those left behind had no idea what their real reason was for doing so. Jacob didn't know why they left and it always haunted his mind ever since.

Jonathan seemed to be laying low for the meantime. However, according to Jacob's previous confidant, he and Thompson were well acquainted with each other.

Dissatisfaction plowed his brow as he thought of Thompson. Obviously, he had gone soft on the man.

It would not have been hard to cut off his supply channel if he wanted to. It would definitely ruin the guy's reputation. Still, he chose not to, thinking that it would have been a deadly blow to his business.

Unfortunately, that small act of kindness evidently gave Jacob a good wake-up call. Being kind to his enemies really did mean that he was being cruel to himself.

If Thompson was out to get him, his best ally would definitely be none other than his cousin. He was clearly aware of the fact that Jonathan also wanted to see him go down.

He didn't want to think about it at first, but after a long time of battling in business, he didn't feel so shocked anymore.

Raising his head, he took a quiet sip from his glass filled with wine and thought of Sara. His only concern right now was that he didn't want anything bad happening to the people around him, especially her.

Meanwhile, Alice was recently always present in every social gathering. Jonathan took her either to high-end wine parties or to tea parties hosted by some celebrities. Obviously he had already introduced her as his wife to the public.

She should actually be happy about this, but deep inside she really wasn't. In front of other people, she always had that fake bright smile plastered on her face that showed her pearly white teeth.

After letting out a deep sigh, she momentarily closed her eyes. Even though she had finally achieved everything she wanted, she still felt empty without Jacob by her side.
