Susan frowned slightly and she looked at Jacob. " Jacob, is this..."
"Susie, don't get involved in this," Jacob said calmly.
"Okay." Susan agreed and stopped interfering.
Seth was in shock, "Susan, are you just going to let him do whatever he wants?"
Susan looked at Seth innocently, "When it comes to relationships, even siblings cannot interrupt."
Susan and Jacob were both very careful with boundaries.
Although they were siblings, they usually did not interfere with each other's relationships.
After all, it was a very personal issue, so personal that only the people involved had the right to make the decisions for themselves.
"You, you..." Seth pointed his finger at Susan shakily, then looked at Julian. "Julian."
Julian raised his eyebrows, "Who am I to interfere?"
Seth felt even more frustrated, he stomped his feet and said grumpily, "I don't care, I don't agree with this decision."
Jacob glanced at him strangely. "Objection overruled.”
Jacob's cold reaction infuriated Seth even more.
Jacob was getting a little impatient, "I will take her in. You either give me the money or let her stay in the house."
"I, I, I, I.." Seth gritted his teeth, "She’ll stay in the house! I will ask the maid to tidy up the room."
"Okay." Jacob nodded.
Jenny smiled gently and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, did I cause some conflict between the two of you?"
"You? Can you?" Seth sneered.
Jenny seemed to be hurt by Seth's attitude. She put on a pitiful expression and reached out to hold Jacob's arm. "Jacob, I.."
"That's it. The weather is cold, let’s go home." Jacob said.
"Fine," Seth glanced at Jenny and snickered coldly, this woman clearly had ill-intentions. Instead of letting her live with Jacob alone, it would be better to take her in and watch her!
After saying bye, Julian and Susan asked the driver to come and pick them up.
Although she told Seth that she would not interfere with Jacob's relationships, when it was just her and Julian, Susan could not help but worry.
Susan bit her lower lip, "Julian, do you think... there’s
something off about the woman?”
Julian raised his eyebrows, "We just came out for a walk and she just so happened to be jumping off into the river. Don’t you think it's too coincidental?"
"You're saying that...” Susan panicked, "Someone arranged her to be there?"
"Most likely so." The first person to come to Julian's mind was Joseph.
His gaze turned stern.
During the press conference, Joseph lost to them terribly.
Yet, even after embarrassing himself, he still behaved much more calmly than Julian had expected.
There was only one possibility - Joseph had a back-u p plan.
Previously, Julian could not imagine what plan Joseph could possibly have. However, now that he saw Jenny, Julian suddenly understood.
Most likely, that woman was Joseph's true plan.
However, these were all just guesses, so Julian did not say it in detail.
