Chapter 1154 Darrens Trick (1/2)

Emily had been having contractions for the whole day already. Finally, she was pushed into the delivery room, and Jacob's phone rang at that same moment.

”Hey, answer your phone! It has rung twice already!”

Jacob had put his forehead on the window and was peeking inside through the gaps in the curtain, anxiously waiting for Emily to come out. Louis kindly reminded him about the call. Right after he reminded Jacob, his phone rang too.

”I am too nervous. Go over there and answer your phone,” Jacob scolded.

Louis gave him an annoyed glare. He walked out of the room to take the call.

Less than a minute later, Louis rushed back inside to Jacob and said, ”This is not good!” In his rush, Louis almost fell. Seeing how panicked he was, Jacob turned to him and held his arm to support him. With Jacob's help, Louis was able to recover from the wobble and keep his balance. After he gasped for air, he continued, ”The factory is on fire! Everyone is trapped inside, including Ray, who was shooting an advertisement inside!”

Jacob's face grew pale with shock. He looked at his phone. The two calls he had missed were both from Darren. It was obvious to Jacob that the fire was Darren's handiwork.

His phone rang again at this moment. ”You are still alive, I guess.” Darren's voice came from the other end of the line. Jacob sneered back, ”You have put your hand really far out this time. Aren't you afraid that the fire in my factory will catch on your sleeve and burn your hand?”

Meanwhile, Louis called the factory to inquire about the situation there. He turned his head to Jacob with a panicked look.

”So what? Even if everyone knows that I set the fire, Ray is still going to be the first one to die in the fire! Now, it might be a good time for you to prepare for his funeral!”

Darren laughed and hung up the call.

Jacob gnashed his teeth in rage and tightened his grip on his phone, almost breaking the device. He deeply regretted letting Darren have the chance to run away last time.

”You stay here. I will go and take a look!” Louis said urgently.

However, Jacob walked forward and stopped him with a restraining hand. ”You and Hunk stay here and take care of Emily for me. I will go to the factory. The products are not a big deal; however, I can't let Ray die in the fire. If that happened, Emily would never forgive herself.”

Hunk nodded. ”Leave her with us. You go ahead!”
