Chapter 1503 Visit and Apology (2/2)
Ever since David had offered his help to Jacob, HT Group had started to run smoothly again. The latter had chosen to take a break and had kept his distance from the public. Even David didn't know what he was up to these days.
When he saw David's caller ID on the phone's screen, Jacob turned it off immediately.
”Are we really going to do this by ourselves?” Emily asked reluctantly when she realized that he wanted to do something about the issue.
Unsurprisingly, the food poisoning incident had greatly affected their
hing. She smirked at her husband and said, ”What did I tell you? You're really just looking for a fight. I told you this would happen.”
Even though he was being made fun of by his wife, Jacob couldn't find it in himself to get angry. Instead, he lowered his head and muttered, ”I don't understand. I honestly just wanted to visit them and do what I can to help. I didn't want to fight…”
When she heard the distress in Jacob's voice, she couldn't help but laugh even harder.
”Stop laughing! It hurts, you know!” Jacob pouted like a child. He couldn't stand the way Emily mocked him, so he started to walk away.
Emily ran after him. She straightened her face and looked at him seriously before apologizing. ”I'm sorry, Jacob. It's just so funny. You said you wanted to solve the problem but you are the problem. Their daughter ate your product and got sick. Did you really think that you could just drop by and tell them you're sorry, and they would pretend as if nothing happened?”
Upon hearing her words, Jacob realized that perhaps he hadn't thought his plan through.
”I see. But they shouldn't have hit me! How ruthless…” Jacob groaned as he rubbed his face. He was in pain.
”You're so naïve. Didn't you read the news? The victims were already angry, and then there was that problem with your inspection. If not you, then who should they hit?” Emily rolled her eyes but tried to comfort her distressed husband anyway.
Jacob let out a heavy sigh and nodded in understanding. ”I really should've checked the news first. This was a mistake,” he finally admitted.
The HT Group was currently a plethora of chaos. Meanwhile, the KING Group was the complete opposite. All their work was executed in an orderly fashion. People came and went into the office building with cautious steps. For the KING Group, there was little to no room for mistakes.
In the office of the top floor, Harlan was reporting something to Darren with a big smile plastered on his face. In his hands was a thick deck of documents.
