Naturally, the guests in the large room panicked. The bodyguards moved to all the entrances and exits. They wanted to make sure that the invited guests, who were allegedly involved in the disappearance of the Rodriguez family fortune, could not escape. Jacob hung the envelope he had opened back on the branch of the silver tree. The guests were kept in suspense as the atmosphere in the room was tense. “This room has been equipped with CCTV. As of today, I will be monitoring your movements throughout the country. It's because your parents, or even you, are involved in the disappearance of my family's assets,” Jacob stressed. “I swear I know nothing about your assets, Mr. Wyatt!” exclaimed a frantic black-haired young woman named Lorena. “If that's the case, investigate. I know you love Mum and Dad very much. That's why I'm not going to take your parents to court, because I'm sure they haven't all committed crimes against my family's assets,” Jacob said, to the relief of his guests.
The next day, news of Wyatt Rodriguez's birthday party being rumored to have ulterior motives began to surface. However, when it was confirmed by the media, the people who had signed the deal turned on those who had reported them. “I don't feel that way, because yesterday's birthday party actually brought profit to my business. Mr. Wyatt invested his wealth to make my business grow. In fact, the Big 10 members came to support me when my business was about to expand into their territory. This is amazing!” Almero enthused when met at one of his 5-star restaurants. This was also confirmed by several people. However, Gizelle and Miranda, who intended to put Wyatt down, instead received scorn from people, who sided with the Wyatt Rodriguez. “They are jealous because they were not invited. Mr. Wyatt was still kind enough to allow the two ignorant women to join the party. But, Gizelle wounded Mr. Wyatt instead. She scratched Mr. Wyatt's handsome face on purpose!” said Rachel at her offi
In his loneliness, Jacob saw dimly because of the many mists around him. He felt a nagging chill that made him hug his arms as he walked slowly. The man's eyes scanned the area until his body twisted, not knowing where he was. Suddenly, the mist in front of him dissipated. Jacob was stunned to see himself as a child on his mother's lap. Jacob was stunned. He had missed his mother so much that he had almost forgotten her. "Mum ...," Jacob called, his chest tightening. Until he saw his mother showing him a ring like the one he was wearing now. "Jacob. Mum gave you this ring. It looks awful, but it's very precious. You must keep it and not lose it. Do you understand?" the beautiful woman with the long brown hair asked as she looked intently at her son. "I promise," little Jacob replied with a nod. Suddenly, a pain shot through his chest. Jacob clutched his aching chest. His throat constricted, making it difficult for him to breathe. His eyes wide open. "Young master!" a woman calle
That night, Jacob dances with Sheena in Ewald's old house. Of course, their movements are being monitored by the owner of the house through hidden CCTV. Ewald watched in silence as the couple laughed together as they danced. Jacob looked so happy and took Sheena dancing all the way to the kitchen."Haha, wait a minute. I'm thirsty," Jacob said, making Sheena laugh."Oh, how about watching films? Ewald has saved an old film that I found quite interesting. In fact, it's from these films that I want to become a theater artist," Sheena said, making Jacob surprised that he didn't know that little thing.Jacob brought all the snacks from the storage cupboard to the living room. Sheena tried to browse through a pile of DVDs to be played on a machine. Jacob had no idea that he could still see those shiny round discs in this modern age."Ah, this is it," Sheena said happily and played the film on the TV screen.Sheena sat down next to Jacob. It was as if there was no barrier between employer a
When the door to Torres' room was opened by Diablo, Jacob was tense. The man who always wore a cold face gave Jacob a sharp look as he entered, accompanied by his son. Diablo closed the door, where this time Carol's husband would join the conversation. With a wave of his hand, Torres invited Jacob to sit down. Jacob sat down on the long sofa, while Diablo sat on a separate sofa. “You were looking for me, Mr. Torres?” Jacob asked politely. “Hector and Kendrick came to see you,” he said, and Jacob nodded in acknowledgement. “You even gave me some advice,” he continued, causing Diablo's face to tighten, but not Jacob's.“Yes, that's right. I think your decision to fire Jessica and the other employees who attended Rodriguez's son's party was a mistake,” Jacob replied, confirming his statement. “Who do you think you are? How dare you tell my father what to do!” snapped Diablo angrily. “Shut up, Diablo! What Jacob said is true this time. If you're just a nuisance, you'd better get out o
Ten looked skillful as he cleaned the blood stains on his young master's face using rubber gloves and sterilized gauze. Jacob winced in pain as he gripped the back of the reclining chair like a hospital bed. “What do you know about Diablo Torres?” asked Ten calmly as he carefully applied antiseptic to Jacob's wound. “He's a jerk, powerful, and he took my wife,” Jacob replied curtly. “That's it?” asked Ten, making Jacob's brow furrow.“Arg!” moaned Jacob as the wound on his lip was cleaned with wet gauze. Ten looked at Jacob closely as he touched his shoulder to keep him calm.“You were beaten by Diablo, it hurts, doesn't it?” asked Ten, making Jacob sit up immediately as he felt insulted. However, the man in the black T-shirt remained calm as he removed the rubber gloves because the treatment was over. “You have to know the enemy's character before you fight him. Courage and wealth are not enough to take him down.”Instantly, Jacob's anger subsided after listening to Ten's advice.
Jacob, feeling that he had gained a lot of information that day, immediately returned to his house. He had not expected so many unexpected things to happen in his life after leaving Kaye's house. Even though he was bruised and battered from Diablo's mistreatment, he was looking forward to a day full of surprises. “I'm getting used to it. 10 years of abuse while living in the Kaye household has made all the insults I received seem normal. I can get through this,” Jacob assured himself as he drove on. Jacob followed the GPS directions to get home. Until he passed through an area that had never been visited before. The brown-eyed man stopped at a red light when he saw a theater where Sheena was performing. Jacob, who had never known the world of theater, was curious. He went to the theater to buy a ticket. “Just one ticket. Is it true that I can't buy it?” Jacob asked irritably. “I'm sorry, but all the tickets are sold out, and the seats are full. You can't possibly watch standing
At exactly 5pm, Jacob woke to the sound of the doorbell. He shook off the covers and straightened his appearance in the mirror. He rushed to the door, but it opened automatically. Jacob was stunned for a moment as a blonde woman appeared, her hair pulled back in a ponytail, and her arms well-muscled. She had a sharp look in her eyes as she saw the man with many bruises and abrasions on his face right in front of her. “Heh, Diablo seems to have beaten you to a pulp, Mr. Wyatt,” the woman said, surprising Jacob because the woman recognizing him. “You ... know about me?” asked Jacob curiously. The woman held out her hand for a handshake. Just as Jacob was about to return the handshake, his arm was suddenly grabbed, and his body pulled until his face was directly in front of the blonde woman's. “I'm Callie. I'm Obsidian's first daughter by his first wife,” the woman said, surprising Jacob. “Nice to meet you, Callie,” Jacob replied. The beautiful woman named Callie released her g
