Chapter 1569 Reunion (1/2)

When he heard what Jacob said, Louis said in a displeased tone, ”Hey! Don't you know how to be grateful? I just saved your life yesterday! What's with your attitude right now?”

An equally irritated Jacob replied, ”They are two different things. You indeed saved me yesterday, and it is true that I should thank you. But you have to find a good time to come and see me! And right now, it's not a good time!”

Louis felt even more agitated with Jacob's retort. ”I'm so pitiful! I saved you yesterday, my dear little brother, and yet you have the audacity to treat me like this?!”

'Little brother?' Emily and Taylor looked at each other with wide eyes, hoping that the other could explain, but neither spoke a word. They turned to Louis in confusion.

”Wait, hold on. What brother? What are you talking about? We don't understand,” Taylor asked, squinting at the two men in confusion. Then she turned to Jacob, Louis' so-called brother.

There was no response from Jacob. He acted as if it was only natural for Louis to address him like that.

With a scoff, Jacob replied, ”What? So now I have to thank you for being my brother too?”

Emily watched the two men bickering back and forth with confusion in her eyes. She turned around to question Jacob. ”What do you mean? I'm so confused right now. What are you talking about? Since when did you become brothers?”

Jacob glanced at the bewildered Emily with a smile. He opened his mouth to explain, but Louis stopped him immediately. ”You are injured. You need to save your strength. Let me explain it,” he offered.

Once again, Jacob looked at Emily and made a helpless expression. Then, he let out a defeated sigh. ”Fine. Please listen to my brother's explanation carefully,” he told the two women.

After clearing his throat, Louis joked in a deadpan voice, ”Everyone, please grab a stool and listen to my tale.”

Seeing that Louis was still trying to joke around, Taylor approached him and punched him in the shoulder. Then, she angrily said, ”Can you stop torturing us like this? We want that explanation. Now!”
