Chapter 617 She Killed Him (1/2)
Emily had been grounded by Jacob for quite some time now, and home felt almost like a prison to her. All the while, she had no idea that Jacob was actually protecting her.
Soon, a new company rose. This company had excellent growth potential and in a very short time it earned a name for itself in the industry. Moreover, since the Gu Consortium was no longer the only monopoly in Jingshi City, people began to notice this company.
The Bai Company.
And the man running everything from behind the scene was, none other than, Jacob, the CEO of this newborn company.
The fact that Bai was Emily's family name and Jacob had used it as his company name, became a hot topic of discussion among the citizens. 'The CEO of the company must love the woman named Bai very much! Why else would he name his company after her family name?'
As for the rest of the Gu family, they were at a loss for words. This company's existence had proven them that Jacob already had a card up his sleeve all along, even before he had personally destroyed the Gu Consortium. Finally, they had come to see what Jacob was capable of. There was nothing in the world he couldn't achieve if he had set his mind to it. This meant that it would be too long before the Bai company outgrew the Gu Consortium.
The Gu Consortium was a rotten cesspool run by a group of filthy degenerates. Long ago the company was built on dirty money and the blood of his parents. Its very existence sickened Jacob to his core.
How could he willingly wish to be a part of a company like that?! How could he serve a company like that?!
Ever since the company's liquidation and its imminent death, every reason Jacob had to be resentful, had disappeared. And of course, to make a good situation even better, Jacob finally exacted his revenge on Mr. Gu for what he did to his parents. The sick old bastard had it coming.
The truth was that Jacob had been preparing for this day for a long time. Ever since the day Jennifer and the other traitors ganged up on him, he knew that he needed to start a new company. And from the ashes of the Gu Consortium, Jacob built the Bai Company.
As any other company, the Bai Company started small and most of the people didn't even notice them at first. The word 'Bai' meant white and pure. But most importantly, it was Emily's last name.
So technically, Emily owned the company, only she didn't know that.
The tumultuous rush was still out there.
At the same time, Mr. Gu came to realize that he had lost everything. He felt strongly alarmed by the current situation, and so he used up his own money to transfer himself to another hospital, even though Jacob had assured his safety. After all, it wouldn't surprise him if Jacob turned his back on his word.
Mr. Gu did everything he could to rest his mind, but sadly there was no respite to be found anywhere. 'What if he regrets letting me go? What if he decides to kill me again?' Every day he'd ask himself the same questions over and over again, spending his days in constant fear of assassination.
Jennifer came over to visit Mr. Gu. She intended to save the company, even though the Gu clan had already lost its prestige. No matter how hard she would try, rising from the ashes was still a big challenge.
However, Jennifer alone wasn't strong to save the Gu Consortium on her own. Besides, just like the Gu clan, she had lost her prestige too. The Jiang family didn't want anything to do with her and the only thing she wanted to do now, more than ever, was to trampled everyone under her feet!
”Mr. Gu! Please do something! Jacob has started a new company on his own. He has betrayed the Gu clan! He is stepping on your toes and you can't just let him be! Are you seriously going to let him get away with it?”
Of course Mr. Gu wasn't happy about it all. He would have strangled Jacob and watched his eyes pop out of their sockets, but alas, he was just a feeble old man who could barely move his lips. Yes, he was furious, but what else could he do? There was nothing he could do to stop Jacob.
”Give...me...some...water...”
