Chapter 331 I Know What Im Doing (1/2)

Emily didn't prepare for the meeting with Jacob. She had spent the last few days in dreadful anxiety and restlessness. She did not know how to face the man she was once deeply in love with.

However, the fact that Jacob hadn't made any efforts to approach her after they first ran into each other that day, confused her. It was as if he had forgotten all about her.

Emily laughed at herself in her mind, 'What was I expecting anyway?'

Wasn't it better that he didn't show up unannounced?

At least, she did not have to put up a facade to mask her emotions. Wasn't it great?

'Let it be. Things will unfold on its own, ' she comforted herself.

Unfortunately, what Emily didn't know was that Jacob was lying in a hospital getting his severe injuries taken care of. The considerable amount of blood loss had left his face weak and pale.

Every fiber of his being wanted to find Emily, but he couldn't find her in his current state. He didn't want Emily to see him like that.

”Mr. Jacob, I've checked out what you've asked me to. They are......” Sam reported, as he stood beside Jacob's bed.

Jacob closed his eyes and then opened them wide. A cold light flashed from his eyes, as he answered, ”I see.”

Before he heard Sam's report, Jacob had already figured out who had ordered the killers to assassinate him. Who else on earth would want him dead, apart from Jack?

It was pity that Jack didn't exert his full strength to kill Jacob.

'Jack, I've given you enough chances. But now it's time to pay the piper, ' thought Jacob.

Jacob had made up his mind. Suddenly, something occurred to him, and Jacob looked at Sam again and asked, ”When's the business cocktail party this time?”

Sam answered, ”The day after tomorrow.”

”Where's my invitation?” asked Jacob.

When Sam realized that Jacob had decided to go to the cocktail party, he got flustered. With a look of genuine concern on his face, he advised, ”Mr. Jacob, you still need more rest to regain your strength. Your wounds need time to heal. Please don't put your own health at risk. I mean...” he advised.
