Ex-wife, Please Come Back
Chapter 118 A Life-saving Straw

He was her life-saving straw.

"No problem. I can always help you. But it depends on your performance when necessary." With a sly smile at the corners of his mouth, Thompson looked at the beauty in front of him lasciviously. Alice snorted, "Well, it depends on how you help me."

After dinner, Thompson sent Alice home and then went to the company. In fact, the two were of the same trade. After all, Thompson was running a jewelry store. It was really fate. Alice returned home, feeling tired. Although she had assigned the business to the shop manager. Her tiredness was self-evident.

What happened last night was still vivid in her mind. She only hoped that what she had done would really help her without ruining her. If Jacob knew this, he would never reconcile with her in the future. She threw away her bag, kicked off her shoes, and then threw herself on the bed. She sent a message to Thompson, "Don't talk nonsense about what happened yesterday, if you do, I will try every means to make you suffer."

When Thompson saw the message, he couldn't help frowning. She didn't believe him, but she had sex with him so easily. "Got it," replied Thompson with a sneer.

Lying on the bed, Alice felt everything around her was unreal, as if it was a dream. But when she woke up from the dream, she was powerless and had nothing.

She used to think that she was the happiest woman in the world, but now it seemed that it was unreliable to put her happiness on men.

But except for men, who could give her everything she wanted. Alice suddenly sat up. She really wanted to see what she was like now.

In the mirror, Alice looked at her haggard face, which was in sharp contrast to what she looked yesterday. Alice couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that her face changed faster than the weather. She sat in front of the mirror dejectedly and removed her makeup. She didn't remove her makeup well yesterday, but washed it with water.

Lying on the bed in a daze, Alice thought whether Jacob believed her or not. She just felt upset and confused. Why was it always difficult to guess his thought?

Not long after Thompson arrived at the company, Jacob called him.

After hearing his assistant Rick's words, Jacob was furious. No matter what Ricky said was true or not, he would be ungracious to Thompson. The two should meet on the battleground was delayed, and Thompson was involved in the matter of his woman again and again.

"Thompson, what do you mean?" Jacob controlled his anger. If Thompson was in front of him now, Jacob didn't know what he would do to him.

"Why are you so angry? Yes, it's me. You must haven't expected that it was me who leaked the news of your divorce. I just used a little trick, and your stupid girlfriend helped me get the evidence of your divorce." Thompson said defiantly.

"You bastard!" Jacob's voice was cold and emotionless, making people feel respectful.

"Well, are you unhappy? I'm telling you, I just want Sara to leave you as soon as possible. Let me tell you, I will get the woman I like by all means. " Thompson snorted. He couldn't wait to see Jacob's furious face.

"Humph, you? Let me tell you, even if Sara won't be with me again, she won't be with you, because a scum like you doesn't deserve her at all. "Jacob's tone returned to calm. He was always like this, and his anger dissipated quickly.

"Bastard? We are the same, but I'm not like you. Although I'm a womanizer, I dare to admit it. You just pretend to be innocent. It's fucking disgusting." Thompson spat and hung up the phone with more contempt in his heart.

Hearing the busy sound in his ear, Jacob was furious again.

He slammed her phone on the table, which startled Rick and made him tremble.

"Well, you can leave now. I'll deal with it myself, and bring the documents for me to check since I haven't been in the company recently. And inform them to hold a meeting in half an hour. " Jacob gave orders to his new assistant Ricy. Before then, Andy would settle all these initiatively without his orders. Jacob shook his head and decided not to miss Andy anymore.

Only when he lost him would he think of Andy's goodness. That was the nature of human nature. Jacob put his hand on the desk and rubbed his temples. Indeed, when people were unlucky, they were like stepping on a mine, and there were traps everywhere.

Jacob was quite annoyed. He was sure that Thompson would be his business rival in the future. He was not sure who schemed his accident. But now he had trouble again. Jacob stood up and walked towards the meeting room. No matter what, he had to hold the meeting first even if the sky fell.

Jacob walked forward step by step. Although he had tried his best to walk as fast as possible, he was not as vigorous and resolute as he had imagined. On the contrary, he looked still slow in others' eyes. The CEO hadn't come to the company for a long time, so he had already discussed among the employees. Some said that something had happened to his father Michael, some said that something had happened to Jacob, some said that something had happened to Sara, and some said that something had happened to Alice. All in all, all kinds of rumors were widely spread in the company.

But when Jacob came back to the company, the rumor suddenly stopped. No one wanted to be in the line of fire. Everyone could say whether it was true or not, and rumors could be spread everywhere. There was only one thing - he couldn't be known by powerful people, or he wouldn't know how he died. So everyone pretended that nothing had happened.

As for the newly appointed Rick, he was obviously a coward who was afraid of death. He wouldn't say anything when other employees asked him about Jacob, which made everyone think that something was wrong with their CEO. Although it was true that something must happen, no one knew what was going on.

Jonathan had brought Michael to the company, but the matter was still unsettled.

However, everyone found that there was still no change in Jacob. They didn't know whether they was lucky or not.

Jacob came to the meeting room. The noisy room suddenly became quiet.

With sly light in his eyes, Jonathan said sarcastically. "Tell me, where have you been for such a long time? Do you really want to ruin the company?"

The directors all looked solemn, as if they had reached an agreement. They all stared at Jacob.

They hadn't seen each other several days, but they had a completely new view of Jonathan. They didn't expect that Jonathan had been tactful at this time. Jonathan was just a loser. How dare he take himself seriously?☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
