"Go?" Susan was shocked. "Where are we going?"
Jacob seemed rather calm. "We're going to leave this place. Then, it’s fine no matter where we go. Susie, I don't want you to be treated unfairly anymore."
Looking at Jacob's serious face, Susan became slightly saddened. She said gently, "Brother, I'm not being treated unfairly. Moreover, we have no other place to g o to."
Jacob fixed his eyes on Susan. Then he said, "Susie, did you want to stay just because of me? Is that so?"
Susan trembled slightly. Then, she smiled and said," Brother, don't talk nonsense.”
"Susie, if you have to receive such unfair treatment just to keep me alive, I'm more than willing to give up my life now," Jacob said calmly. 1
He appeared strangely calm when he talked about death, just like it was a trivial thing such as eating and drinking.
Susan looked at his calm reaction. She soon got angry and then slapped the table harshly. "Brother, I don't want you to say this kind of thing anymore!"
Susan became angry all of a sudden. Jacob could not help but look at her in a daze.
"You're my only family member. It means that you're the most important person for me in this world!" Susan sounded very agitated now. "I tried so hard to let you survive, but you want to give it up easily just like that! Brother, you do indeed disappoint me."
Jacob was stunned for a short while. He spoke gently," Susie, I just don't want to see you being bullied..."
"I'm not being bullied as long as you get better." Susan bit her lips.
Jacob remained quiet. He stood up and went to hug Susan softly.
It was so warm, being hugged by Jacob that it made her want to cry.
Susan resisted the pain and leaned against him.
She did not regret the decision she made.
In fact, she was being brought up by her brother, so her brother was just like her parents for her.
So even though she would lose her dignity and everything else, she was more than willing to make him live.
At Lanyard Construction, before the large French windows.
"How is it? Did Richard's mistress make any moves?" Julian narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Are you talking about Moya? She's not making much of a move. A few days ago, she intended to barge into
Richard's funeral. But Madam Jenkins stopped her at the entrance. So, she had no choice but to leave and return home. Recently, I heard that she was contacting the shareholders of Jenkins Corporation actively. It seems like she's trying to fight for some benefits for her five-year-old son,” Seth replied.
Julian tapped at the desk lightly. "Good. Please continue to watch her closely.”
"Don't worry. You know how good I am, right? I'll certainly keep a close eye on her,” Seth replied.
Julian’s facial expression darkened slightly after he hung up the phone.
He had no good impression of Moya and her son.
But he did not think so well of Charlotte and Madam Jenkins either.
Since they could plot against Susan blatantly like that, they could not blame him now if he used some kinds o f schemes against them.
At the appropriate time, maybe he could lend a hand t o Moya too.
Maybe Moya would be the significant person who could help him with the resolution of the incident regarding Richard.
