Chapter 588 - Hell is Better Than Earth (1/2)

As expected from a wine aficionado. Jacob thought to himself.

”Whatever reason you called me here for, I hope that you will not beat around the bushes because I have to go back home as soon as possible. My wife is not used to sleeping without me beside her.”

As soon as he was seated, the first thing he did is ostentatiously flaunt his marriage to the woman whom the man in front of him is coveting.

Alex's grip on the wine glass tightened as the wine room seemed to become stuffy.

Alex scoff, if it wasn't for J, he wouldn't waste time meeting this person. He could actually protect her on his own but Jacob's men were stringent in protecting her not letting anyone suspicious, more so, a member of Novus Rex get near her.

He just needed to warn them of Senator Rizza's evil plan but that doesn't mean he will just watch on the sideline.

He will protect her even from the distance. He will protect her in his own way. Even if it means that his effort will go unnoticed and won't be given any credits. As long as she is safe. As long as she will live.

”You think highly of yourself. She had slept every night for 30 years without you in it. I am sure she can still sleep every night for another 30 years without you.” Alex paused intentionally and glanced at Jacob. ”Or maybe with another man.” He continued with a smirk.

After saying that, the temperature in the wine room dropped to a certain degree. Jacob is giving Alex an icy glare which the latter ignored and seemed to be unaffected.

”I hope you didn't call me here to ask me to leave my wife because I am telling you, that's not going to happen even if you kill me,” Jacob said in a deep and murderous tone.

Alex snickered as he put down the wine glass on the teak table. ”I am not going to waste saliva and beg for you to leave her. Why would I when I can make her leave you.”

Jacob laughed half-heartedly but his gaze is murderous. ”I applaud your conviction Mr. Ogden but my wife is too in love with me to leave me.”

This time, Jacob noticed the twitch on Alex's lips and his jaw tensed as if he was suppressing his anger.

”Now what do you want?” Jacob said with a grave expression. He has already emphasized his position in J's life so that Alex Ogden will realize that it is pointless to talk him out of leaving J.
