He lowered the gun because what Viona said made no sense. Arturo was Jacob’s mentor, more like a father to him. He trusted him so much until appointed him to be the next leader instead of choosing Al, his son. 

Jacob’s eyes blazed fire now because Viona’s mistakes were too much. She wanted to trick him into believing her as Emily and trying to seduce him. Now it was even getting worse. Viona tried to set him against Arturo. 

So, he walked to approach her. He stared at her for a few seconds, then he aimed his gun right at her temple.

His mind was messed up because knowing Arturo was the one behind Viona’s blatant actions.The more he thought about it, the more he was sure that Viona deliberately tried to make Emily misunderstand his relationship with the assistant two years ago.He was blind as he couldn’t see it clearly back then. When he saw Viona in his office with Emily, pretending to have an affair with someone else, he should fire her immediately. Yet, he ignored it, and it brought a catastrophe not only in his relationship with Emily but also with Arturo.Scratching and messing up his hair with a hand, he sank his head to the couch. No matter how much he tried to think about what happened, he couldn’t punish Arturo. Despite getting imm

    Six months later, Jacob received unexpected news from a hospital. His mother had already passed away because of cancer. Since he blocked his mother’s phone number, he didn’t know that Tanya was ill.He went to the hospital to receive her corpse. When the administration staff knew Jacob came to bring his mother’s body, a nurse approached him.“Mr. Jacob Jefferson?” the nurse asked.“Yes, I’m Jacob Jefferson, and you are?”“I’m Cindy Randall. I’m a nurse who accompanied and checked on your mother.”Jacob nodded. “I see. Thank you for helping my mother before she passed away,” he said calmly.

Tanya also treated her well, so she felt it was necessary to come to the funeral to give her last respect.However, Harold was against her. “Baby, you will invite problems by coming to the funeral.”“What do you mean?” she asked.Even after marrying him, his wife was still so naive. He let out a sigh. “When Jefferson sees you, do you think he will let you go?”Tilting her head to the side, she creased her forehead because she disagreed with Harold. “He doesn’t have any other choice. I’m a married woman.”

    It was nine thirty a.m. when Emily prepared to go to the funeral. She wore a black silk dress. Harold shook his head when he saw her.“What?” She raised her eyebrow.“You must wear a mask.”“A mask?” she asked. “What for?”“So Jefferson won’t recognize you.”Emily let out a sigh. It’s a good idea, but wasn’t it too much? She was startled when Harold took a black veil and gave it to her.“Wear it, love. So, you can give your respect there while not attracting attention to yourself.”She wore it without protest. He groaned inside because

Emily wants to be with me, but then she doesn’t want to divorce you. Isn’t she too kind?”“My dear?” Harold approached Jacob and Emily.Emily tried to remove herself from Jacob’s embrace, but he was too strong. She shook her head in her attempt to get her husband’s attention. “No! I don’t want to be with him.”“Jefferson, are you trying to get killed? I’ll approve it if you don’t release my wife in three seconds.”Emily gasped be

    Emily hugged Jason’s shoulder, and then she called Mia, “Sweetheart, come to Mommy, please?”The little girl strolled toward her mother while she still glanced at Jacob. When she was before her mother, Emily hugged Mia, too. She took a deep breath because it wouldn’t be easy to explain it to the twins. However, they deserved to know the truth.Before Emily could say something, Harold also approached them and hugged the mother and the twins. “Let’s go. The explanation can wait. We’ll go to the zoo, and later, Mommy and Daddy will explain everything at home. Okay?”Jason nodded and took his father’s hand. “Daddy, let’s go back to the car.

    “Are you serious?” Jacob raised his eyebrow. “If you are interested in our business, the underworld ones, I would talk with others first.”“Right. You can’t make a crucial decision on your own.”“Indeed.” Jacob tapped his fingers on the table, trying to think. After a while, he said, “I can’t make an exact calculation for now because at first, I must get others’ approval first. But if we want to sell the businesses to you, our financial chiefs must work to prepare the business transaction offers. Of course, it’s after getting all leaders’ approvals. So, it may require a few months to complete everything.” Then he added, “It’s if they agree with the decision to sell and transfer the underworld businesses.”&ldq

    “Your loss was my gain.” Harold chuckled. “I had never expected I would fall in love with her.

Knowing later Emily was pregnant, it was like a second chance with me. I fell in love with her gradually, but with the twins, it was love at first sight.” He looked at the sky again. “They were so small, but then they filled my heart with love.

Probably he wants to wait for the patient.”“Thank you.” Jacob then glanced at the twin. “I’ll go inside. You two wait here, okay?”“Yes, Dad,” Jason said. Mia nodded, saying nothing.He crossed the hall and walked in the direction where Harold had left before.

Soon, she will be okay.”“Jason?” Emily asked for his son.Jacob glanced at his son and nodded, asking his son to come near his mother.“Mommy?” the little boy asked.
