Sara patted Jacob on the shoulder and said seriously, "Okay, stop it. Don't kidding."
Jacob was speechless. Who on earth was kidding? Jacob looked into the distance with a smile on his
face.
"There will be big changes in the company recently. No matter what happens, you don't need to show
up. I will take care of it." Jacob squinted his eyes. He had been thinking about it for a long time.
"What? What are you going to do?" Sara became vigilant. Although she knew some was going to
happen in the company recently, it was the first time that Jacob had warned her so seriously.
"You'll know it soon. It will be okay." Jacob smiled. He stood up, took off his apron and went upstairs to
change his clothes.
The moment Jacob turned around, Sara stared at his back. Jacob had a broad back, which gave her a
sense of security.
But could a person shoulder all the dark side of this world if he had a broad back and a broad mind?
Looking at Jacob's back with hesitation, Sara suddenly called Jacob.
"Jacob."
Sara's crisp voice came to Jacob's ears without any hindrance. He turned around and did not give Sara
any chance to talk.
"Well, Sara, eat and change your clothes and go to the company." Jacob skipped over Sara's call and
changed the subject.
Hearing that, Sara was stunned. Since Jacob didn't want to talk about it, she decided not to question
him.
"Okay." Nodding, Sara breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing Sara's sigh, Jacob went straight to her.
When Sara saw Jacob's shoes appear in front of her, she raised her head in surprise. As soon as she
raised her head, she met Jacob's gaze.
Instead of bumping into him, Jacob bent over and kissed Sara on her lips.
"What?" With her eyes wide open, Sara was overwhelmed by Jacob's enthusiasm.
Jacob left his lips reluctantly, which made Sara blush.
"What are you doing?" After saying that, Sara lowered her head, blushed.
Jacob laughed. "Well, that's what I want to say."
Then the two of them went back to the company quickly. Somehow, Sara didn't feel well today.
She always felt that something would happen, because her right eyelid was constantly twitching.
Although Sara was not superstitious, she still trusted in her intuition. So she didn't let her guard down
since they got into the company.
As soon as they got into the car, Sara looked at Jacob and said seriously.
"Jacob, no matter what happens today, you have to tell me the truth. I will be with you." At the thought
of what had happened last night, Sara still felt that she was haunted by fear.
Was Alice's accidence just a beginning or an accident? Sara felt a lump on her throat.
Jacob looked at Sara calmly and comforted her, "Don't worry. It will be okay."
Nodding her head, Sara drove at full speed and soon arrived at the company.
Sara came to the company now was just to kill time. In fact, there was nothing she needed to do in the
company now. Jacob took care of everything, and she just needed to stand aside and watch.
Alice stayed up for almost the whole night. She didn't open her eyes until Jonathan woke up in the
morning.
Jonathan was startled to see Alice when he opened his eyes, but then he went out as if nothing had
happened.
Jonathan really didn't remember what had happened yesterday night. He only remembered that he had
a headache last night. But he didn't remember how he went back to the villa and why he slept on
Alice's bed.
Jonathan wouldn't explain, neither would he ask Alice about it. There was almost no communication
between the two of them since they knew each other and got married. It was hard to imagine what the
two of them got married for.
However, Jonathan didn't care even if their marriage was a grave.
Life would draw in a man's horns in his growth. Jonathan used to be a hard-edged man, but what about
now? He was always overshadowed by others.
Therefore, Jonathan attributed all his suffering to the people around him. It was they who brought him
troubles and caused him forget his original goals.
Jonathan had already forgotten what he had thought before. Now he just wanted to keep his status.
He had gone too far, so he had already forgotten why he had set out in the first place.
Alice pondered the whole last night. What would have happened if Jonathan hadn't fallen asleep?
Maybe both of they would get hurt, or maybe she would be strangled by Jonathan.
All in all, Alice had been lingering in fear. Jonathan, who was sleeping beside Alice, was like a
dangerous beast, making her restless.
For the whole night, Alice had been holding the vase tightly in her hand. The vase was beautiful and
fragile, but it still could be a weapon when it was needed to be.
Water could carry a boat or overturn it. Alice was deeply lost in thought. She was changed after what
happened last night.
If Alice still had a little hope for Jonathan yesterday, then after what happened last night, she had
completely erased Jonathan's existence in her heart.
How could a person be so shameless? Alice looked at the ceiling in despair and her heart seemed to
have stopped beating.
She heard Jonathan's steady breath and his terrible dream talk.
Therefore, Alice had to think of a way out for herself. After thinking for a whole night, Alice made a
decision.
Alice didn't get up until Jonathan left the room.
What was the most pathetic life? For a woman, the most pathetic life was to marry to a man, and she
had to bear all the hard works and her husband's scold and violence. This kind of life was probably a
nightmare for every woman.
But on second thought, it was Alice's own choice. She had made a choice, so she had to suffer the
consequences.
She had to bear such a result because she make a wrong step.
When Jonathan went out, he just turned around and gave a cold look at Alice. The look in his eyes was
so cold that Alice almost shivered.
She had only seen such eyes when Jacob was also angry with her, but at that time, there was no
malice in Jacob's eyes.
Alice looked at Jonathan in surprise. Even it was at midsummer, Alice still felt the coldness from deep
inside her heart.
It was the cold look in Jonathan's eyes that urged Alice to make up her mind. She couldn't sit still and
wait for death. She couldn't wait for Jonathan to kill her next time. She had to take some actions.
And this action could only be completed by herself. If she succeeded, she could be freed, but if she
failed, she would be doomed eternally.
Jonathan went out and slammed the door. Hearing a loud sound, Alice's heart skipped a beat.
Then she snorted. She had to go to find Thompson today. Although she might not be as important as
Jonathan in Thompson's eyes now, Alice got a hunch.
That was, Thompson would definitely help her to get out of this mess. She was pretty confident about it
with a very strong intuition.
