Just as Jacob was about to sign the contract, Sam suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
He stood in front of Jacob and said, "Mr. Gu, is there really no choice left for us now? Do you really have to sign away the company to Darren?"
Sam was not willing to accept the circumstances.
Apart from Jacob and David, he had also been there from the very beginning of HT Group. Sam was a part of the company just as much as they were because he had been with them at every step.
Although David and Jacob were the ones who had started the HT Group, Sam was the one who had handled most of the office affairs, especially in David's absence after Rita had given birth to their baby. As such, Sam could understand the pain Jacob was going through right now.
"Yes, I think so. You know I can't lose Emily and our baby," Jacob replied.
When the image of Emily's crying face appeared in Sam's mind, he couldn't say anything else to stop Jacob from signing the contract.
"All's well that ends well, Sam. Nothing is more important than family. Just take this and send it to the address Darren gave us," said Jacob.
Then, he slumped back into his chair, feeling frustrated and defeated. As Sam picked up the contract from the table, coldness flashed through his eyes momentarily, but he didn't let Jacob sense it.
When Sam came back, it was already 9 a.m. in the morning. With a simple nod to tell Jacob that he had done his job, they both acknowledged that all they could do now was to wait for Darren to contact them.
Meanwhile, in F Country, Darren, Dina, and Nora were sitting in a conference room where the air was thick with tension and suspense.
For the first time in her life, Dina had appeared in public with very little makeup, and she was wearing flat, comfortable shoes, which were not her usual choice.
For some reason, Dina didn't feel like making herself look beautiful in front of Darren. Perhaps she thought that no matter how beautiful her face was or how attractive her figure was, she was nothing but a pawn in his eyes. A disposable pawn who could be discarded by him at any time.
Meanwhile, Nora looked like someone who had been drained of all life because of how pale and sickly she looked. Ever since her confrontation with Darren, she had been in a constant state of panic around him.
"How is everything going with Mr. Wang?" Darren asked.
Nora hurried
ushing it down.
Almost immediately, Bill's vile grin filled the screen and, instead of watching his triumphant smug face, Darren ended the video call.
When he came out of the washroom, Dina and Nora remained silent.
Darren's assistant came in and reported, "It is true that we arranged people to watch Bill. But before we sent them to do that, they had already gone to Bill's side. As a result, those people snatched away our things.
So... That's why we have no choice but to wait for the news from HT Group,"
said the assistant, trembling with fear.
Darren's patience was at an end and he was already seeing red. It was as if he was just moments away from punching his assistant in the face.
As of this moment, the only thing Darren had was HT Group. Although he was still in F Country, away from Jacob's immediate reach, he no longer had leverage on Bill. The fate of his future was hanging in the balance and if Jacob were to double-cross him, Darren would be left with nothing to his name.
Nora and Dina leaned back on their chairs, shaking with fear and apprehension. The sight of them cowering in the corner only angered Darren even more. He flew into a rage. It seemed that he was going to bite their heads off.
"Why are you so nervous? Are you scared? Are you still trying to look for another sugar daddy?"
Darren curled his lip in disgust and then laughed hysterically, filling everyone's hearts with fear and confusion.
With an evil smirk on his handsome face, Darren slowly approached Dina and Nora, eyeing them like a predator that would eat its prey.
