Chapter 96 Who Would Gain Supremacy
Chapter 96 Who Would Gain Supremacy
At this time, the door rang.
Jacob looked at the door and said, "Come in, please."
It was Sean. He didn't know if he had come to the hospital after her accident, but he could clearly see the anxiety in his eyes.
"Jacob, are you feeling better. I've been busy watching the surveillance video these days, so I didn't come to see you. Today I finally have some clues. So I come to you. " Gasping for breath, it was obvious that Sean came in a hurry.
As soon as the door was closed, Sean couldn't help saying, and Jacob frowned. "Come and sit down. What's going on?"
Sean swallowed and seemed to be calmer.
"You hit someone that day, and then something happened. I should have come to the hospital to see you right away, but I found that the person you hit was very suspicious that day. I checked the surveillance video of the bar over and over again. Although it was very blurry, I felt that the person beside him had contacted Colin. He was the famous paparazzi. " Sean was sweating.
"Oh? Did they talk in the monitor? " Jacob felt that this matter was unusual. He guessed that someone schemed to murder him this time must have something to do with Thompson, but he had no evidence, everything was reasoning.
"Well, they didn't have direct contact. But there were 16 outgoing calls from the bar within 2 hours of that night, two of which were made by the man you knew."
"I see. Thank you. If there is anything else, you can contact me at any time. " In fact, Jacob had guessed that it was Thompson did it, but there was no evidence. Even if he knew it, it was useless.
Looking at Jacob on the bed, Sean had mixed feelings.
It was true that a person's sufferance could give him a different view of the world. If he had encountered such a thing, he might have no choice but to call the police. He might have been cautious all the time, but Jacob was also different.
How much honor, how much slander. He could stand praise and slander. This was Sean's evaluation of Jacob from the bottom of his heart.
"By the way, does it have any impact on your bar?" Jacob couldn't help but care about Sean. Although he funded the bar, it was Sean's place after all. He had to be more careful.
"It doesn't matter." Sean was a little moved. Even at this time, Jacob was still concerned about his bar. No ordinary people could compare with him.
"Well, that's good. If there's anything else, just tell me. If I can help, you don't have to be so polite to me." Jacob stared at the ceiling as if he was talking to himself.
Sean nodded repeatedly. In fact, when he was in college, he didn't want to be with Jacob and Noah at the beginning. In his eyes, they were just partners of the rich. He didn't want to be entangled with them.
But after a long time, Sean found that Jacob was different from others, at least different from what he had imagined. It was too easy for people to judge others according to their own imagination, even if they had never met or seen each other.
That was why they became good friends later. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Sean put down the fruit he bought and wiped the sweat on his forehead. "If there is nothing else, I have to go now. I will come to see you again when I have time. Don't hurry to investigate the case now. You have to take time to recover. Where there is life, there is hope."
With a smile on his face, Jacob said, "Okay, I know. Get your things done first. Thank you for coming to see me. "
Jacob hadn't been so polite for so many years, but at this moment he couldn't help but want to thank him. This time he had an accident, everyone in the company eyed his position with hostility, but he had no spare energy to do anything else. Someone was trying to kill him. He already knew who did it, but he had to swallow insult and humiliation silently.
Jacob couldn't bear it.
In the company, a new assistant had come to take care of Jacob. It took them long time to hire the new assistant, but in fact, everyone knew that it was hard to assist Jacob.
Jacob didn't want to care about it for the time being. After all, Andy's matter hadn't been settled yet. When he felt better, even if he was beaten and scolded, he would go to Andy's funeral and say sorry.
Otherwise, he would feel guilty. He didn't expect that Andy would stand out for him at the critical moment. If it weren't for Andy, he would be the one who was lying in the morgue now.
Jacob squinted his eyes. If Andy knew about it, he must hope that he could find out the murderer. But it was not easy.
On the one hand, Sara had come back, but her attitude towards him had been even worse. On the other hand, even if he had decided to severe his relationship with Alice, he still worried about her. No one would easily accept a relationship of 7 years to be broken up. Jacob felt his temples throbbing and painful.
After Alice rushed out of the hospital, she went back to the villa alone. This time, she didn't cry. No one was around. Who should she cry for? It was unnecessary to cry for herself.
Seeing Alice's gloomy face, Winnie stopped talking. Since there were only Alice and Mr. Jacob left at home, Winnie had been very careful not to offend Alice.
Of course, Winnie didn't dare to ask anything more today. She had to do her own thing unless she was asked to talk to her.
Alice entered the room, changed her shoes and went upstairs. She knew very well that Jacob was evicting her out when he saw Sara come back, so that he could take Sara back. Then their fake marriage would become a real one. He was daydreaming!
'Do you really think I am a nobody that you could do whatever you want?' Well, it was not easy to mess with Alice.
She sat in the bedroom and thought for a long time. Finally, she thought she was forced to take her last step.
Alice began to pack up her things. As long as Sara couldn't get back to this house, Jacob could do nothing about it no matter how much he loved her. The thoughts that had been hovering in her mind for a long time had come to this point.
She had tried so hard to keep Jacob, but Sara still took advantage of her. Alice was not reconciled. She had to destroy what she couldn't get. Besides, she had always been able to get what she wanted since she was a child.
Alice began to pack up her things. She couldn't live here anymore. If she still had some courage, she should move out after the host asked her to leave. Although she loved him, she had her dignity. She couldn't just wait for others to drive her away. In that case, even if she came back one day, she would have no standing.
Winnie peeped the living room from time to time, but found nothing. Since Alice came back, she kept silently as if she hadn't come back, which made Winnie confused. Alice used to keep loud noises to show her sense of existence. What was wrong with her now?
Alice packed her luggage quickly. Those bought by Jacob were as compensation. She couldn't stay here, so she had to leave with them.
After packing up, Alice had two big suitcases and two small suitcases in total. She had to move them out at least two times.
Alice felt depressed. She was brought in by Jacob in style, but now she had to leave dejectedly. It was all Sara's fault. This time, Sara was about to mock at her. She calculated carefully, but she was wrong.
Alice went downstairs with her suitcase. It was late winter now. The sky was always gray. She hadn't seen the blue sky and white clouds for long time, but it didn't matter. Since she lived in this city, she had long accepted the fate of the city.
Slowly, she dragged the suitcase downstairs. Alice didn't say a word to Winnie from the beginning to the end. Of course, she didn't want a servant to laugh at her. Even if Jacob didn't love her anymore, she was a woman of fame and prestige. Moreover, it was not the time to tell who would gain supremacy in the end.
