Chapter 19: Done!
Last Updated:
2025-02-25 00:00:59Jacob drove to his mother’s house. The two guards remained outside of the house, clearly waiting for him to come. Once they saw his car, they straightened their backs.
Jacob parked his car outside as he didn’t intend to stay long there. He approached the guards.
When Jacob nodded at them, both of the guards bowed their heads a little. “Sir?”
“Okay, you two can leave now.”
“Yes, sir!” Both of them immediately left. Clearly, they didn’t enjoy guarding his mother.
Tanya wasn’t in her bedroom when he entered the house. So, he walked around. Finally, he found her on the balcony. She was drawing a few sketches. As it was a new season, the fashion house had to prepare new clothes soon.

Emily was on the Montgomery’s Express train. It wasn’t too crowded, so she could have a wide space to sit. She was torn if she needed to turn on her phone to call or text her mother. But then, doing so might cause her mother to ask her to return.After considering her options for a while, she knew she couldn’t do it. Pauline already helped her, and she didn’t go this far to return. So, keeping turning off her phone was the best option, at least until she could reach another town and get a place to stay.But then, the guilt was heavy within her mind. Leaving no note, her parents might be worried. Emily bit her lower lip.

As they arrived at Harold’s place, Tom opened the door for Harold. His boss carried the young woman himself to the elevator, right to the fiftieth floor where his residence was. Harold brought Emily to his bedroom and laid her there.Then, he called his personal doctor, “Jim, come to my place now.”“You got it,” Doctor Jimmy Paterson said.After twenty minutes, the doctor came and examined Emily’s condition. He frowned a little, then stared at Harold. “I must have another test to ensure her condition.”“Hmm?”“Hold her.

Harold raised Emily’s chin with a hand and looked into her eyes. “My dear, don’t be afraid. If you don’t know the father of your baby, I can be one.”Gaping, Emily gazed at Harold. The stranger stared back at her without blinking. He seemed serious. But how could he do that? They were practically strangers! Why did he offer her to be the father of her baby?As if he could read her mind, Harold said further, “I’ll marry you, so your baby will be mine. None will dare to ask you anything. As my wife, everyone will think it’s normal for you to get pregnant and give birth to my children.” He even grinned. “Jimmy, my personal doctor, even thought I was the father of the baby.”She shook her head and then bent it a little because she couldn’t look at h

She took a deep breath and shook her head. “Harold, it’s not love. You—”But he stopped her by placing a finger to her lips. “No, my dear, it’s love. I’m a cold-hearted man. Some even doubt I have a heart.” He chuckled and shrugged. “I don’t blame them because sometimes I even think they’re right.”“No, it’s not true.” She shook her head and squeezed his hand. “You’re not cold-hearted. You’re so kind and nice.”This time, he laughed aloud until his head bent backward. “Oh, Emily! You’re the second person to tell me that.”“She is the first?”Harold nodded. “Yes.”

“About him with a woman.” She gulped. “I couldn’t see the woman’s face, but it’s clear it was him. He was with another woman.”Harold frowned to hear it. “With a woman? What do you mean?”Emily let out a sigh. “You know, he and the woman slept together.”“Ah, an affair. Okay, did you show him the video?”“I did.” She nodded.“And?” He raised his eyebrow.“He denied it was him. He said it was a made up video.”Harold crossed his arms over his chest. “Did you believe him?”

His body was less tense than before. “I’ll tell you the last reason I selected him.”Some leaders stared at Arturo. The rest of them even bent his body a little as they were curious.“Did you know we once kidnapped his old man?” Arturo said.

Arturo went home first, but Jacob and Al continued their talk. Both of them sat in the living room of the Gold Cleaner’s headquarters with a glass of wine for each of them.“Have you found anything about Emily?” Jacob asked as Al was the one in charge to find news about Emily.“Nothing,” the younger man said. “It’s as if she vanished into the air. It’s weird that I already sent our men to nearby cities and towns. None of them reports anything yet.”Jacob blew his breath and shook his head. “Where is she …?”“Bro, you can find someone else. I know you don’t need more money.”“You know me better,” Jacob said

Then he forced a smile. “It’s okay if you don’t want to marry me now. Maybe you want to enjoy your time alone first.”But then Emily shook her head. “No.” She held both of his hands. “I want to make you the happiest man, Jacob. So, it’s a yes.”Jacob immediately stood and put the ring on her finger. Then he kissed her lips and hugged her tightly.He laughed and shook his head. “I thought you would say no.

The offer is fifty trillion with fifty years of credit and a trillion of payment each year and a trillion for the down payment,” Jacob said.Harold whistled to hear the number, but he knew with various businesses the Gold Cleaner had, fifty trillion was a reasonable price. “Anyone in your team want to enter our boat?”“Nope, they are happy with us.” He was smiling when saying it. “So, it will be purely a facility, land, building, systems, and the networks we will sell and transfer to you.”

It was an unforgivable act because Stanley’s betrayal cost Art’s life.Jacob’s eyes were chilly when he gazed at Stanley. “You told us earlier that Gold Cleaner is your family and will stay like that. You even said you didn’t want to work under Montgomery and the Silent Syndicate.” Then Jacob added slowly to emphasize his words, “Now we all know it’s all just bullshit!”
