Chapter 1460 Friend (2/2)

Jacob was in a good mood and even kindly explained it to him. ”The factory that you signed a contract with earlier is owned by the HT Group. Honestly, I didn't expect you to have such good taste for factories that you managed to find ours even though we tried our best to hide our association with them.”

With this shocking revelation, Darren couldn't help but tighten his grip on the phone in sheer anger. His bony fingers visibly turned a pale white. In spite of that, he still tried his best to sound calm, as if he was fully aware of what

ted. He narrowed his precarious eyes and glared at the strange man standing by Emily's side.

He didn't recognize the man whatsoever. Was it possible that this mysterious man had romantic intentions towards his wife?

Suddenly, Jacob felt a surge of rage rise in his chest. He didn't even give himself some time to calm down. Without hesitation, he got out of the car and slammed the door behind him. He heavily stomped his feet as he approached them.

”What's so funny?” he asked in a frigid manner while gritting his teeth.

Emily was slightly startled since she hadn't expected him to arrive so early.

Her bright, bubbly eyes could only do so much. Jacob's mood was barely comforted when their eyes met.

Jacob grabbed her wrist and effortlessly pulled her into his arms. Then, he stared at the young man with a hostile gaze. He then said in a spiteful manner, ”How can I help you?”

The young man was also stunned but still managed to show a gentle smile. Then he said to Emily, ”Mrs. Gu, since someone is here to pick you up, I'll leave you two then.”

Emily was still in a daze but was able to come back to her senses just in time to reply. ”Okay, Dr. Lin.”

As soon as the young man left, Jacob held Emily's hand and dragged her back into the car. Once they sat, he leaned over to fasten Emily's seat belt. From the beginning to the end of their ride home, Jacob didn't utter a single word. The atmosphere between them felt cold and distant.

Emily chuckled since she knew that her husband was jealous. She gave him a gentle smile and blinked her beautiful big eyes. ”Hey, what's wrong?”

Jacob was quite upset. He squinted his eyes and softly pinched her rosy, white chin before asking, ”Who was he? Why were you smiling like that at him?”

But before Emily could explain, Jacob wrapped his arm around her waist and tightly held her arms. He looked like a child who hadn't gotten any gifts at Christmas. Even the way he snapped at her seemed like a kid throwing a tantrum. ”I don't like it when you smile at others the same way you smile at me.”
