Ex-wife, Please Come Back

The whole room suddenly became silent. Several thoughts ran through the minds of both men. While Shawn was thinking of the offer, Jacob was waiting earnestly for his response. What would happen next totally depended on fate.

"What?" Shawn's face lightened up. His eyes beamed with excitement. But soon, he calmed down. 'Hmm. This man wouldn't back down, would he? I can't seem to figure his intentions.

Could he be trusted? Dammit! His expression is unreadable!' Shawn was racking his brain. He was trying to weigh which was more important between the Shi Group and Jacob. No matter how hard he pondered, he just couldn't conclude.

For a long time, no one had separated Jacob and the Shi Group from each other. Since he was the CEO, his name was synonymous with that of the company. No one ever imagined that the two would become enemies someday. This was the major reason why the players in the business circle were shocked and angry with Jacob for resigning.

However, Shawn didn't bother himself about whether the man had betrayed the Shi Group. He just saw him as a capable man. So, he didn't think that Jacob would make any unreasonable decisions. Honestly, Shawn held him in high esteem. But he didn't show it.

"Do you think I will give up my partnership with the Shi Group just for you? I must say that's hilarious! To be honest with you, I think you are a capable man. I have heard of your previous achievements as a CEO. And I have to say that I was quite impressed. But I don't mix my personal sentiments with business."

Narrowing his eyes, Shawn stared at him as he grinned mischievously. He wanted to see the hesitation and disappointment in Jacob's eyes. But unfortunately, he saw nothing. He still couldn't read his expression.

So, Shawn became more determined. He was hell-bent on discouraging this man.

"One more thing. I don't think the Shi Group would prosper under Jonathan's leadership. As you know, the business has continued to plunge downwards since he assumed that position. Although I feel bad that my father's years of hard work would be ruined in the hands of my greedy cousin, he already made me a success by raising me. I'm the man that I am today because of the efforts of my old man."

Jacob spoke with a serious expression on his face. Whenever something concerned Michael, he never joked with it.

His recent actions didn't mean that he was going to abandon Michael's legacy. Far from it. Jacob just wanted to survive. And to survive he had to make drastic decisions.

"No pain, no gain. I absolutely understand. I can't deny the fact that all you have said is very reasonable. Actually, when Jonathan became the CEO, he raised the charge of our partnership. I want this company to spread its reach as regards intercompany partnership. But in Jonathan's mind, the Ho Group cannot cooperate with any other establishment."

Shawn wasn't complaining. He was just saying the truth. Recently, that topic had been giving him headaches. He really wanted to take his company to the next level. But several obstacles were in his way. His hands were practically tied because of his partnership with the Shi Group.
