Jacob recalled that he had just taken a big sip of whiskey. He was eager to get drunk, so he drank a lot
in one gulp.
The whisky wasn't enough to make him drunk at all.
"Okay, I'll take a taxi home."
Cindy had no choice but to obey the boss's decision.
Jacob didn't start the engine until he saw Cindy disappear at the corner of the street.
Even Jacob was depressed now, he was still domineering. Without the slightest trace of displeasure,
the Bentley turned around and drove out of the Time Bar.
Next to the Time Bar in a dark alley, a brawny man in a brown down jacket took out his phone.
"Hello, boss. I don't know why Jacob left. He didn't drink much."
The brawny man's face became more and more ferocious. Last time, Jacob was not killed. He was
really lucky. He had never failed. Damn it if it weren't for Jacob's assistant. The brawny man spat.
This time, Jacob ran away again.
"Well done, keep following him. Remember, no matter what happens, your identity can't be exposed.
Otherwise..."
Hearing the cold voice on the phone, the brawny man couldn't help but shiver. The boss was famous
for his cruelty. No one dare offend him.
"I understand. Don't worry."
The brawny man couldn't help trembling. It was cold in winter, and there was a layer of coldness on his
back.
The brawny man didn't disappear in the crowd until the boss hung up the phone with satisfaction.
Even ruthless people had their weakness. There was no invincible person in the world.
There was an indescribable melancholy between Jacob's good-looking eyebrows.
Perhaps, he no longer had the confidence to criticize Sara so righteously.
After all, he was the one who was out of line first.
Jacob's eyes seemed to have lost their usual spirits.
Disappointment, gloom and sadness were all in his eyes. He leaned against the seat sadly.
Why was the world always so disappointing? Why it always made people stagger like this?
He didn't even have the time to stand firm and tell Sara that he loved her.
The wind was so strong. It seemed that the bare trees on the roadside were also twisted by the wind. If
that's the fate, he could do nothing.
If time stopped, and let him think about it and stop, so that he wouldn't be wrapped up and walk
forward.
But time couldn't stop. Jacob's Bentley drew a beautiful arc on the road. It attracted the attention of
passers-by. His every move showed his arrogance.
He parked his car downstairs and called Sara.
With the last experience, Sara brought a set of clothes to change and came downstairs quickly.
She was wearing a long black down jacket and dark blue jeans, which outlined her legs perfectly. Her
black hair was lazily scattered around her neck. Her snow-white and slightly pink skin was very
beautiful.
"Get in the car. Sorry, I almost forgot it today."
Jacob was not in the mood. He just raised his eyes quietly and turned his head to the front in an
instant.
She dressed up to win his attention.
He turned a blind eye because he felt guilty deep in his heart.
Sara moved her lips but said nothing.
She opened the door and sat on the passenger seat. She gently put the clothes in her hands on the
back seat, and a strong smell of alcohol came over.
"Did you drink?"
His beautiful amber eyes were full of doubts. 'How dare he drive after drinking? Does he think he is that
lucky?'
"I drank a little. I said I forgot it."
There was anger in Jacob's voice. What happened last night made him so irritable that he didn't want
to do anything.
"Okay."
Sara had wanted to slam the door and leave angrily, but when she thought of Michael, she held back
her anger.
Jacob pressed the button of auto-driving in the car, which surprised Sara with her eyes wide open.
It was said that there was a self-driving system. She didn't expect that Jacob's car would be so
advanced.
Leaning against the window, she stared blankly at the view in the distance.
The scenery was full of depression. It was as if the world was lifeless.
It was snowing. Many people liked to see the snow. However, the more beautiful things were, the more
poisonous they were. Even though the snow was so beautiful, the low temperature of it was real.
Glancing at Jacob, Sara wondered what made him crazy today. Recently, Jacob was so abnormal that
it made Sara absent-minded.
First, he set her free, then he almost forced her in bed, and then he was as cold as a passer-by.
It was said that a woman could turn her face faster than a book. It seemed that Jacob could turn his
face faster than a woman.
Jacob leaned against the seat unhappily and didn't want to say anything.
They kept silent all the way.
Finally, the Bentley stopped outside Michael's villa. James went back to the villa on Friday night. So
when Jacob and Sara didn't go back today, James had been wandering at the door for a long time.
James wouldn't call them. He knew that Jacob was a filial man. If it weren't for the sense of security
given by Jacob, his brother Michael wouldn't have trusted him to operate the company so much.
But today, James looked down at his watch and found that it was so late. His brother would wake up
later.
Thinking that he couldn't explain it to his brother, James wandered around in the living room.
He was burning with anxiety, but there was nothing he could do.
When James was wandering around, he heard a servant running in quickly and shouting.
"Mr. James, Mr. Jacob and Mrs. Sara are back..."
The servant didn't know whether she had said something wrong or not, and she didn't know how to
address Sara every time. They had divorced legally, but this family had never taken it as a divorce.
They didn't seem to have divorced. After all, they had dinner at the same table and slept in the same
room. There seemed to be no sign of divorce.
But they had divorced, and they had divorced so thoroughly.
James had waited for them for a long time. Now there's joy in his eyes. Raising his eyes to look at the
door, he saw Jacob gently pushed the door open and welcomed Sara in.
It was Sara who could make people feel relieved. James slightly narrowed his eyes. Her previous
worries had already been thrown out of his mind. At this moment, the two of them were standing in
front of him safe and sound.
It seemed that there was something wrong with Jacob. James held back his smile. His intuition told him
that something must have happened.
"Jacob, are you delayed by something today?"
James walked up to them and didn't want to wait any longer.
"It's okay, Uncle James. How's my father?"
Jacob looked up at the door of the room upstairs, feeling a dull pain in his heart. He felt like he was
suffering from a kind of malaise.
Standing next to Jacob, Sara didn't say anything, but looked at James with concern.
The only bond between her and Jacob was Michael. It was Michael's illness that tightly connected the
two of them.
"Maybe he has woken up. The servant hasn't gone upstairs to have a look. Michael's situation is not
optimistic."
James sighed. He didn't expect that it was only a week.
"What's wrong with my father?"
Jacob raised his voice. His throat was dry, and he felt as if his heart was gripped by a hand.
