Jacob usually spoke distantly, but not coldly.
Yet, his words were as cold as a blade. If one gave it more thought, it even sounded like he hated her!
‘Seems like Jacob knows this woman,’ Susan thought to herself.
But this conclusion was even more shocking.
Ever since Jacob fell ill, he had lost most of his memories.
Even Susan herself took a long time to get Jacob to recall his memories of her.
Although Jacob’s memories were recovering, he still could only remember no more than five people, including Susan and their parents.
Yet, Jacob remembered this woman?
This could only mean that this woman was incredibly important to him.
Jacob’s hurtful words caused the woman to crack up.
“Jacob, are you angry at me for leaving you?” She cried, “I had no choice. I had no other option. You know that my family was in debt. The creditor kept chasing us for money, and my parents were so stressed that their hair went gray. As their daughter, how could I not be considerate for them? As long as I left you and dated Walter, he agreed to give me a huge sum of money. I don’t care about money, but my family really needed it.”
The woman cried so badly that she was running out of breath.
The others could already guess their story from her words.
It was probably the most cliché love story.
The woman was originally dating Jacob, but Jacob was poor, so she left Jacob and dated someone called Walter instead.
Yet, now that the woman had gone to the point where she wanted to jump into a river, it must have been difficult for her.
There was no black and white when it comes to relationships, so Susan did not interfere. She simply looked at Jacob with concern.
She did not know how Jacob would handle this.
“Oh,” Jacob responded coldly.
Oh? The woman was taken aback by Jacob’s reaction, “Jacob, do you hate me?”
“No,” Jacob pressed his lips together.
“Is it because I said those hurtful words? Is that why you’ve been holding a grudge against me?” The woman asked pitifully, “I didn’t mean those words. Walter forced me to say them to you.”
“So, gorgeous, what did you say?” Seth asked curiously.
“I…” The woman bit her lower lips and kept quiet.
Jacob smiled coldly, “Nothing much. She merely said that someone like me would never get rich. No matter how hard I tried, I could never give her a luxurious life. I could not even compare to Walter’s fingertip.”
Jacob’s voice was monotonous, as though he was not affected by those words at all.
The woman looked at him with pain. “Jacob, I knew you still hold a grudge against me because of that. I did not want to say those words, but Walter said that if I didn’t say it, he would…”
Did he mean it or was he being sarcastic?
To her, Jacob was still the man who was willing to give her everything. Jenny had faith in her charm, so she figured that Jacob should be sincere.
“Then… Are you willing to take me in now? Can we get back together, please?” Jenny asked gently.
“No, no way. Get lost!” Seth shouted.
“Okay.” Yet, Jacob agreed.
Seth looked at him in disbelief, “Jacob, have you lost your mind? This type of woman?”
Seth had seen enough women for him to see right through Jenny’s plans.
It would even be a compliment to call her a b*tch. No way would she deserve a man like Jacob.
“Stay out of my business,” Jacob said coldly.
Seth felt like he was going to explore. “Good, good, good, I will stay out of your business! But the house is mine! I won’t let you take her in.”
Jacob pressed his lips together, “I earned 100 million tonight, and based on the agreement, I should get 60% of the money. Give me the money.”
Earned 100 million…… Jenny looked at Jacob even more lovingly.
“You… you little…” Seth was infuriated. He looked at Susan. “Susan, say something to this idiot.”
