"Did you manage to get the latest information, Jack?" Steve called his assistant. "Jacob just bought a luxury mansion for Sarah's family, and they moved in a few days ago." Steve wasn't shocked because he had already known about Jacob and Sarah's relationship. Especially since Jacob took Jennifer's blessing, he knew his enemy was returning his property. "How greedy! Even though he already has Emmy, why does he still want Sarah? "Sir, what should I do now?" "Go home. Your work is done for today. I'll call you again if you have another assignment." Steve sighed heavily as he put his cell phone on the desk. It had been several days since Sarah picked up the phone and avoided him with various nonsensical excuses when he tried to meet her. He already knew Sarah turned cold on him because she chose Jacob. Steve was disappointed. Even though he had prepared an extraordinary gift for Sarah as a proposal gift, namely the conditions she had mentioned to marry him when they met in the nar
Steve immediately took his cell phone from his pants pocket to call someone after Jacob entered the Ramos Corp office. He didn't have to wait long for the person to pick up the call. "Hello, Mr. Alvarez. How may I help you?" A soft-spoken woman asked from the other end of the line. "That asshole is here. Do your job as I ordered yesterday!" "Alright, Mr. Alvarez." Steve switched off the phone with a sly grin. "Enjoy my revenge." *** Jacob hurried to the CEO's office. After knocking on the door, he was let in. "Good afternoon, Miss Audrey Ramos." He smiled sweetly. A smile that could always conquer any woman. But, unfortunately, it didn't work for Audrey Ramos, the CEO of Ramos Corp. The woman only gave Jacob a glance with a cold expression, then went back to reading the file, treating him like a nuisance pest. Although she had a fierce face, it did not diminish her beauty. The 22-year-old woman was slender and curvy, like a famous model. "Please have a seat," Audrey said flat
Tring!A message arrived after Jacob had waited four hours.He read it immediately.[Hello, Mr. Jacob. I'm Vice President Alvarez. I want to offer you a partnership. Can we meet to discuss about it?]"Now fortune has favored me!"Jacob replied immediately.[Of course. When can we meet? Let you decide on the meeting location][12 pm at Club Aurora. I'll see you there]"Alright."***The nighttime.Steve went to a posh club in Los Angeles with a satisfied and happy smile. He wanted to celebrate his victory with some beautiful women while drinking alcohol."You can't come in!"Steve's steps were halted when two guards blocked him at the entrance."Get away of my way. I want to get in!" Steve looked at them sarcastically."Midfielders are forbidden to enter! Can't you read this ban board?!""I have money! I can even buy this club!" Steve said arrogantly."Are you crazy?! You can't fool us, Idiot!""You so a bitch—""You shouldn't make jokes, Steve."Steve immediately turned around when he
"Shit!" Jacob sat on the sofa in his luxurious mansion. Ever since he decided to marry, he has lived with Sarah and her parents."What's wrong with you?" Sarah asked coldly as Jacob looked stressed."It's none of your business." Jacob could not possibly tell her about the misfortune that had just befallen him when CEO Alvarez canceled their partnership offer without explanation. She didn't even come to see him at the Aurora club. However, that was not what he was worried about; what if Steve found out he had failed?Tring!As messages kept coming in, Sarah stared at her phone in exasperation. "Tsk! Don't they get tired of terrorizing me?!""What do you mean?""Many of Emmy's fans are terrorizing me after hearing rumors about our affair.""Just ignore it.""But they've already dared to attack me! We have to clarify it to ease their anger! Otherwise, they'll kill me!""It's none of my business! You can't be a spoiled woman who always depends on me!" Jacob went straight to his room."Tsk
Steve stared coldly at Jacob as he approached him with a sly grin. He already knew the unfortunate fate that would befall him in a moment."I hope you haven't forgotten our bet yesterday because today I managed to get a contract with Alvarez Corp!"Steve didn't move at all."What are you waiting for? Now lick my shoe!""Are you crazy?!" Sarah swore at him. "Steve wouldn't do that!""If he breaks his promise, he'll get doomed!"Sarah looked at Steve, upset and disappointed. "What have you guys got at stake? Why are you desperate to deal with that bastard?"Steve didn't answer. His chest was tight from holding in the rage and resentment. He wanted so badly to scream that Alvarez Corp was his to get his pride back, but he had no power to do so. Unfortunately, he could not cancel their cooperation for revenge. If he broke it, he would lose everything and return to poverty.'Shit! Why does luck always favor Jacob? Even my system defends him!'Steve was frustrated at being repeatedly caught
A few hours later. "How did it go?" Steve decided to wait for Sarah in the lobby after learning that Emmy had come to the Stellar Entertainment office. "Why are you still here, Steve?!" "I was waiting for you, Honey." "What about your job? Your boss will be angry if you don't work." Sarah looked worried. If Steve were fired, they wouldn't be able to eat because the family depended entirely on her husband's salary. So, Sarah tried to audition for movie roles to help them out. "You don't worry about it. I already asked my boss for permission. How did it go?" Steve hurriedly changed the subject. "Did you pass?" Sarah lowered sadly. "I'm sorry, Steve. I failed again." Steve was not surprised to hear that because Jack had informed him earlier that Jacob had a few percent stake in Stellar Entertainment. "Don't be discouraged, dear. I'm sure you'll get the lead in another movie." "Did you get rejected again?" Emmy suddenly came over with a mocking chuckle. "You don't need to answe
Steve clenched his fists tightly in anger but had to hold it in. Sarah would lose her parents if he aroused Jacob's anger because Jacob locked her in the house. "What do you want? Say it." "What are you able to give me?" Jacob mocked. "You don't have anything." "You bastard! Give me back my parents!" Sarah cursed. "I can't because they begged to live with me, and I never forced them. Besides, everything happened because of your fault. You didn't pick up your father's phone when your mother fainted. It would help if you had thanked me for saving your mother. If you had been a second too late, your mother would have died." Sarah was stunned to hear that. She cursed her carelessness in trapping her parents in the lion's den. "Where is my mother? I want to see my mother. I want to ensure she's okay because I don't trust you and my father. You guys always conspire to get whatever you want." "I won't allow it." "You have no authority to forbid me from meeting my parents! I'm his dau
"I've decided not to think of you as my mother anymore. I can't bear all the pressure from you and Robert anymore. If Jacob kicks you out later, never return to me. Goodbye." Sarah smiled briefly before walking out of the room, crying bitterly. "Shit! She's so stubborn! How do I get Sarah to leave Steve?" Jennifer walked back and forth in a panic while biting her nails. She thought hard about finding a way, but she always failed. Jacob suddenly walked in without knocking first. "You look failed again, Mrs. Jennifer. You already know the consequences, don't you?" He said coldly. His eyes radiated disappointment. "That means you have no more reason to stay in my mansion and enjoy my money." "Please give me one more chance, Jacob. I promise to get Sarah to divorce Steve and marry you soon!" Jennifer pleaded as she grasped the man's hand, but he brushed her off. "I hate waiting!" "Please, Jacob." Jennifer cried as she hugged the man's tan legs. "Give me one more chance." Jacob grunte
