Chapter 255 Take Her In
Chapter 255 Take Her In
Jacob usually spoke distantly, but not coldly.
Yet, his words were as cold as a blade. If one gave it more thought, it even sounded like he hated her!
'Seems like Jacob knows this woman,' Susan thought t o herself.
But this conclusion was even more shocking.
Ever since Jacob fell ill, he had lost most of his memories.
Even Susan herself took a long time to get Jacob to recall his memories of her.
Although Jacob’s memories were recovering, he still could only remember no more than five people, including Susan and their parents.
Yet, Jacob remembered this woman?
This could only mean that this woman was incredibly important to him.
Jacob's hurtful words caused the woman to crack up.
"Jacob, are you angry at me for leaving you?” She cried, "I had no choice. I had no other option. You know that my family was in debt. The creditor kept chasing us for money, and my parents were so stressed that their hair went gray. As their daughter, how could I not be considerate for them? As long as I left you and dated Walter, he agreed to give me a huge sum of money. I don’t care about money, but my family really needed it."
The woman cried so badly that she was running out of breath.
The others could already guess their story from her words.
It was probably the most cliche love story.
The woman was originally dating Jacob, but Jacob was poor, so she left Jacob and dated someone called Walter instead.
Yet, now that the woman had gone to the point where she wanted to jump into a river, it must have been difficult for her.
There was no black and white when it comes to relationships, so Susan did not interfere. She simply looked at Jacob with concern.
She did not know how Jacob would handle this.
"Oh," Jacob responded coldly.
Oh? The woman was taken aback by Jacob's reaction," Jacob, do you hate me?"
“No," Jacob pressed his lips together. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
"Is it because I said those hurtful words? Is that why you've been holding a grudge against me?" The woman asked pitifully, "I didn't mean those words. Walter forced me to say them to you."
"So, gorgeous, what did you say?” Seth asked curiously.
"I..." The woman bit her lower lips and kept quiet.
Jacob smiled coldly, "Nothing much. She merely said that someone like me would never get rich. No matter how hard I tried, I could never give her a luxurious life. I could not even compare to Walter's fingertip."
Jacob's voice was monotonous, as though he was not affected by those words at all.
The woman looked at him with pain. "Jacob, I knew you still hold a grudge against me because of that. I did not want to say those words, but Walter said that if I didn’t say it, he would..."
"That’s it, you," Jacob said calmly.
The woman's face turned pale, "Jacob, are you jealous? But things have already ended between the two of us. After I left you, I realized that you're the person I loved the most. I could not forget you, so I left him. Jacob, it’s been more than a year and I've always been looking for you. I know I am wrong, but I couldn’t find you at all. I can't imagine how hard life would be if I don't have you. I was in such despair that I wanted to jump into the river. Yet, who would’ve guessed that God would arrange for us to meet in my most desperate moment? Jacob, I feel like this is fate. We clearly still love each other. Can we let go of all the past grudges and get back together, please?"
As she spoke, the woman pulled Jacob's sleeve and looked at him eagerly.
Jacob looked at her silently.
"Hey, hey, hey, girl." Seth could not help but say, "You polished your words so nicely, but the truth is probably that you were abandoned by that guy called Walter, so you thought of coming back to Jacob. I've seen enough women like you. Had I known that you were someone like this, I would've let you jump into the river. It would’ve been so much easier that way."
After spending some time with Jacob, Seth already treated Jacob as his own brother. Once he heard that this woman had hurt Jacob before, there was nothing he wanted to do more than push her into the river.
"Shut up," Jacob suddenly glanced at Seth and said coldly.
Seth was surprised, then immediately protested, "Hey, Jacob, I am on your side, okay?!"
"I don’t need it," Jacob said expressionlessly.
"You, you, you, you, you're making me so mad!" Seth could not help but exclaim in frustration.
The woman glanced at Seth, and a proud look flashed under her eyes. Then, she continued to look at Jacob pitifully, "Jacob..."
Jacob pressed his lips together and asked, "Were you really forced?"
The woman’s face lit up and she nodded eagerly, "Yes, yes. Jacob, my parents sold our house and left with m y brother to God knows where. Now, I have nowhere to go and a lot of debt to pay off. I’m in a really desperate situation.”
"Poor thing," Jacob said coldly.
The woman was taken aback and looked at Jacob with uncertainty.
Did he mean it or was he being sarcastic?
To her, Jacob was still the man who was willing to give her everything. Jenny had faith in her charm, so she figured that Jacob should be sincere.
"Then... Are you willing to take me in now? Can we get back together, please?" Jenny asked gently.
"No, no way. Get lost!" Seth shouted.
"Okay." Yet, Jacob agreed.
Seth looked at him in disbelief, “Jacob, have you lost your mind? This type of woman?"
Seth had seen enough women for him to see right through Jenny's plans.
It would even be a compliment to call her a b*tch. No way would she deserve a man like Jacob.
"Stay out of my business," Jacob said coldly.
Seth felt like he was going to explore. "Good, good, good, I will stay out of your business! But the house is mine! I won’t let you take her in."
Jacob pressed his lips together, "I earned 100 million tonight, and based on the agreement, I should get 60%
of the money. Give me the money.”
Earned 100 million..Jenny looked at Jacob even more lovingly.
"You... you little..." Seth was infuriated. He looked at Susan. "Susan, say something to this idiot."
