Chuck reflected for a moment and slowly said, "I have never done anything wrong or embezzled a single penny during my years in this position. I hope you can understand that this deed was committed absolutely against my will."
He frowned as an unpleasant thought crossed his mind. Chuck looked both helpless and embarrassed.
Jacob glared angrily at Chuck. It seemed that this matter would not be as simple as he had imagined. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Really? You are the director of a hospital. Surely there is nothing serious enough to baffle you, right?"
Over the past few years in Jingshi City, if merchants wanted to establish backdoor deals with people of influence, they might have turned to anyone other than him, as he was not known to yield to carrots nor the club. Nothing could be found to use against him as leverage as he had never done anything illegal. He would always adamantly refuse whenever any favors were asked of him.
But this time, he had acted out of character. Jacob was really curious as to how Darren had been able to bribe Chuck.
Shaking his head dejectedly, Chuck sighed and said, "Mr. Gu, since you've asked, I might as well tell you the truth."
Then, taking a deep breath, he explained woefully, "Some time ago, my son, Carlos, went to F Country where he met Darren's accomplice, Nora. She was his college crush. He was head over heels for that girl! However, Darren poisoned my son. Carlos exhausted all possible means in an attempt to find an antidote, but he came up empty-handed. Darren then forced my son to help him deal with his domestic dealings. Only then would he provide the antidote to my son. As his parents, we could not just abandon him, so we had no other choice. We knew it was wrong, but we had to give in. I can't stand by and allow any harm to come to Carlos. After all, he is our only child!"
The whole scenario quickly played through Jacob's mind as he came to his senses. He thought, with a sneer, that Carlos had such bad taste. What was more, Darren's means were as disgusting
ren said, "Jacob, I told you that I would be back. Let's settle this forever!"
'Oh, well, maybe there is no need for conflict at all. The HT Group already belongs to me. Jacob has already been defeated by me, ' he then thought gleefully.
Darren burst into a smile when he considered that he was already victorious.
When the first ray of sunshine appeared the next day, Sam entered the office and reluctantly reported, "Boss, Darren is back. What do you want us to do next?"
Jacob had a mysterious smile on his face. 'Thank God! He is finally back within my grasp. I can call off the world-wide searching now, ' Jacob thought with joy.
"Don't do anything to raise his suspicions. We'll wait and see. We'll take action when he least expects it and catch him off guard." Jacob tapped his finger on the desk as he spoke thoughtfully.
Darren was a cunning man. He would sense anything unusual if they acted now. It wasn't the right time yet, and some plans still had to fall into place. Even if they wanted to take him down now, they had to wait for an opportune time.
Hearing this, Sam respectfully bowed, and then left.
Jacob was staring into the distance, and he was thinking to himself, 'Since Darren has returned, it will soon be a time for reckoning. He will be made to pay in full for all the crimes he committed against Emily and the children!'
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
