Chapter 48 Crises And Disappointments

The atmosphere within Jacob Real Estate had dropped to freezing point, but the caller on the other end had no way of knowing. Despite being hung up on repeatedly, she kept up her stubborn persistence in dialing.

When he could not bear it anymore, Jacob finally picked up. “Hello!” he barked, trying to suppress the anger in his voice.

“I can’t find Zack, Dad!”

After leaving Shappiray Mansion, Lucille searched almost everywhere for where Zack might appear but did not manage to find anything.

After ignoring her calls, he eventually turned off his phone. It was as if Zack’s appearance the night before had been a hallucination.

 

I had everything planned. What went wrong?

Intuition told Lucille that something must have happened.

 

Calling her father in desperation, Lucille did not expect Jacob to be overwhelmed at that moment.

After hearing Lucille’s voice, Jacob became even angrier. “What good are you if you can’t even keep an eye on your own man, Lucille? Let me be clear. I applaud you for successfully marrying into the Xander family. But if Zack doesn’t want you, never show yourself before me again. Do you know that it was because of you that I have even managed to offend Jonathan? Do you want the entire Lingard family to be ruined because of you?”

“Can’t you see, Dad? I’m the only one who makes sacrifices for the Lingards! Michaela only plays the victim to gain sympathy. Earlier, if I hadn’t managed to get out of the way in time, Mr. Xander’s car would have run me over. I am your true heir, Dad!”

Upon recalling her earlier encounter, Lucille’s pulse quickened with fear. Originally intending to obtain a sliver of sympathy from her father, she was dismayed to discover that the voice on the other end was nothing but livid. “Shut your mouth! Didn’t I warn you yesterday? Never provoke Michaela again. Did your brain fall out? You might as well die and spare us all the trouble of having you around!”

Jacob was happy to see Lucille and Zack make things work as he aspired to curry favor with the Xander family.

He would never have imagined that Jonathan would protect Michaela to such a degree. It only took several misplaced words of anger to have the entire company plunged into peril.

Despite having rushed back to the company in the middle of the night to deal with the matter, it was already too late.
