When he was about to go, Arturo stopped him. “What’s going on?”

The moment I saw her unconscious, I felt something for her.” He let out a sigh. “She reminded me of my late partner, who died when she was pregnant with my baby.”“I’m sorry, man …”“Yeah. 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.

    “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

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.

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!”
