Chapter 954 Dylan Woke Up (2/2)
”Don't worry, Jacob. We're making progress! Emily will be back safe and sound.” After the words of assurance, David patted Jacob on his shoulder to show his concern.
Jacob nodded at him. His eyes were focusing blankly on a point behind David. It was obvious that he had become lost in his thoughts. Then, his eyes turned cold, as if he wanted to freeze the point he was staring at. He took a deep breath and pulled his thoughts together.
”Darren will try to get his hands on the Bai Group in three days. We can cast our net now,” he said.
Jacob was wondering why Darren had taken Emily away in the first place and what Darren really wanted. He had thought that Darren would threaten him with Emily, but it seemed that he had been wrong.
Things would have been much easier then. Jacob would give Darren whatever he wanted with both hands, as long as it wasn't Emily. Jacob finally took a deep breath to try and relieve his burden.
”I know,” David replied with a nod. He looked at Jacob with a serious expression.
He was curious too. Although he hadn't found out why Darren had taken Rita away, it seemed that she was safe from what he had concluded from Dylan's story.
”Oh, I almost forgot. Nora has run away, and she's the one who started the fire!” David then added bleakly.
David knitted his brows as he spoke and narrowed his eyes when he remembered what she had done.
He shouldn't have believed what she had told him, nor should he have agreed for her to stay. If he hadn't, none of these traumatic things would have happened. Thus, he was the one who had put Rita, Emily, and the kids in danger. He blamed himself for not having seen through Nora earlier.
At the same time, he wished that he could go through all these trials and tribulations instead of their women and their kids.
”Yes, it was her,” Jacob said quietly.
He had received this news at the same time as David. He suspected that Darren might not have known the reason why Nora had set a fire either. Otherwise, Darren would have left himself a perfect escape route.
