Chapter 518 I Wont Eat You Up (2/2)

Magee didn't want to discuss Rose any further as it dredged up some very complicated memories. He changed the topic smoothly, ”I didn't see Jacob. Where is he?”

Her happiness made him jealous. He looked d

Bear. And not the CEO of the Gu Consortium. Of course, we have nothing to talk about.”

In turn, Jacob looked at the cup in Magee's hand with ferocity, ”Stop. You don't deserve that cup of tea.”

At once, Magee drained the cup of tea, and although the boiling liquid felt like lava going down, he managed to keep a dignified expression. Then, with a suppressed cough, he continued, ”It must be hard for Emily, to stay with a peasant like you? Even I cannot put up with you.”

Rage flared in Jacob's face, but he controlled the beast and said, ”Keep going.”

With feigned concern, Magee added, ”She is a highborn lady. You were a suitable match for her in the past, as the CEO of Gu Consortium, but now that you've lost your memory, and everything... How can you let her suffer with you, living here in squalor? Do you really deserve her love?”
