Chapter 893 Unable To Walk For Three Days (1/2)
There was a sense of weariness in David's voice when he spoke these words. It was as if the light in his eyes was flickering away, fading into the eventual darkness.
After all, Darren and David were brothers sharing the same blood. The last thing anyone would want to see was the futility of two brothers turning against each other in a petty feud.
”If he promises to keep himself within the limits of M Country and behave himself, I'll spare his life this time. But if he insists on being a constant thorn on my side, I will not hesitate to teach him the true meaning of pain!”
Jacob had made his point in the most confrontational way possible. His judgment would have been different had it been anyone else, but since Darren had been brave enough to involve Beryl, regardless of his intentions, the punishment Jacob was going to unleash on him would be torrential.
”Anyone who dares to lay a finger on my family is a dead man!” Jacob managed to get that point across loud and clear.
David's face softened with relief to hear Jacob say that. He was grateful to his friend for making a big concession for his sake.
”I appreciate it, man!”
David expressed his sincerest gratitude, even though he seemed to fall short on words as his voice turned low and deep and his eyes turned red. There was a high sense of friendship and camaraderie between these two. There had been times when they would disagree with each other, but they always came out of it with some mutual respect, a simple handshake, and a wink.
Jacob, having acknowledged David's words, gave him a simple nod in reciprocation. ”Don't mention it.”
Although Jacob and David were best friends and would not hesitate to put their lives on the line for each other, Jacob understood that it was not his place to meddle in the affairs between the brothers. The only thing Jacob could do was to give David a hand when he needed help, but not punish David's brother for him.
Meanwhile, Dina, who couldn't get a hold of Darren, became increasingly desperate to get in touch with him as if he was her only hope. Failing to reach Darren on the phone after a hundred or so failed attempts, Dina came to the conclusion that she had no one else to turn to!
Dina clenched her phone tightly with blanched knuckles and her nails dug deep into the palms of her hands. Her pale face, which was usually fair and pretty, turned vicious. In a single venomous outburst, she threw her phone to the ground and let out a painful and sorrowful moan.
”Ahh!”
'It's over. Everything is over, ' thought Dina.
Jacob was one of the most powerful and influential people in Jingshi City, and David had just recently reclaimed the Xu Group. And as if fate had played a grotesque prank on her, Dina was the one who had offended both of their wives.
