Jacob was a little embarrassed. He put his hand into his pocket and hung up the phone without even
looking at it.
"Jim, wash your hands and come to have dinner." Nicole shouted at Jim, and then said to Jacob, "come
here. Sit here."
It was next to Nicole.
Jacob nodded and walked over. As soon as he sat down, his phone rang again.
Mrs. Judy looked at Jacob coldly. Fearing that her mother would make things difficult for him again,
Nicole tried to mediate, "He has a lot of work to do in the company, so he has a lot of phone calls."
"Answer it. Never mind." Mrs. Judy said to Jacob.
In the Gu family, it was very impolite to answer the phone at the table, so when he arrived at the Du
family, he consciously obeyed this etiquette.
Hearing Mrs. Jacob's words, he took out his phone with embarrassment. It was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello?"
"I called you. Why didn't you answer the phone? !" Albertan's roar came from the other end of the
phone.
"Mom?"? I'm having lunch at Nicole's house. What's wrong? "
"You still have the mood to eat. Your father had a car accident!"
"What?" Jacob could hardly believe what he had heard. For a moment, he thought he had misheard.
"Your father had a car accident!"
Jacob's heart was in his throat. He asked anxiously, "Where are you? Where is he now? "
Albertan's voice was anxious, emotionally unstable, and her words were disorderly. "On the way back
from the airport, I'm on the way there. I just received a call from my family to inform you. It is said he
was hit by a truck. "
"Okay, mom. Don't worry. I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, he took a deep breath and managed to keep calm. He said to Mrs. Judy
and Nicole, "aunt, something happened to my family. I have to go back now. I'm sorry that I can't have
lunch with you. "
Just now, Nicole was close to her and his mother yelled loudly on the phone, so she almost heard what
had happened.
Hearing what he said, she said anxiously, "Go ahead. If you have any new news, tell me immediately."
"Okay."
Jacob left the house immediately.
After he left, Mrs. Du asked Nicole, "What happened?"
Nicole supported herself with a chair and sat down. She bit her lips and explained, "Jacob's father had
a car accident. His mother called him just now."
"Is it serious?" Mrs. Judy's face changed.
"I don't know." Nicole shook her head. Thinking of her father's car accident, she suddenly felt sad and
buried her face in her palm.
No one had expected such a sudden change.
Although Mrs. Judy wanted to test Jacob, she was still a kind person. When she heard the news, she
sympathized with Jacob.
"If he is in a bad mood these days, you can spend more time with him." Mrs. Judy stretched out her
hand, patted on Nicole's shoulder and comforted her softly. "Don't worry too much now. It might just be
a false alarm."
"…… Okay. " Gritting her teeth, [暖暖] looked up at her mother and forced a smile.
"Let's eat first."
"…… Okay. "
---
When Jacob arrived at the scene of the car accident, the traffic police and the nearby police officers
had already surrounded there. He pushed away the crowd outside and strode in.
"Sir, you can't go in..."
"I'm a family member." With a dark face, he pushed the police away and walked in stubbornly.
It was a dazzling white light.
Two pieces of white cloth covered the two corpses on the ground. One of them was covered askew,
revealing a hand with a watch.
Jacob's eyes were so painful that he could hardly open them. His heart seemed to be tightly gripped by
a pair of hands. He had seen the watch on his father's wrist dozens of times.
Only a few people could own the priceless treasure made by a top craftsman.
Before Jacob could recover, he heard a scream from behind. Then, a figure flashed in a hurry and
rushed in front of the corpse.
At the moment when the white cloth was uncovered, all Jacob's conjectures turned into reality.
"David!"
Wrenching cries echoed in his ears.
"David! Wake up! "
"Hello, we are..."
The policeman wanted to pull Albertan away, but he was stopped by Jacob immediately. With red eyes,
he said to the policeman, "I'm sorry. We are family members. This dead man is my father."
"Well. We have a few questions to ask you. Please answer them. "
"Okay."
From the beginning to the end, he didn't shed a tear. He didn't even sob when he spoke. Except for his
slightly red eyes, no other emotions could be seen in his eyes.
He cooperated with the policeman to answer the question. He sent his mother home who had been
crying so hard that she had fainted. He asked the family doctor to treat her. Then he went to prepare for
his father's funeral and send someone to investigate the whole process of the car accident.
From beginning to end, he had been extremely rational, which made people wonder if this person had
no feelings for his father, so he was not sad at all.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Jacob was sitting in the president's office, staring blankly at the
ceiling. He had just finished a shareholders' meeting that lasted for two hours. As soon as his father
left, some of the company's founding members couldn't wait and planned to take actions.
Unfortunately, Jacob was not a coward. He wouldn't let his father's business empire be slaughtered like
this.
But those veterans had been in the group for a long time and were very difficult to deal with. If it weren't
for the fact that David had already made a will, once something happened to him and all his assets
were inherited by Jacob, he might really be difficult to deal with those veterans.
Ring, ring, ring -
In the empty CEO Office, the phone on the conference table rang. He stood still, letting the phone ring
again and again.
'it won't be worse, ' he thought.
But the phone kept ringing for a long time, which inevitably annoyed him. He grabbed the phone
impatiently and looked at the caller ID with sharp eyes.
Nicole.
At that moment, his eyes softened.
Nicole must have seen the news. The news that Mr. David died in a car accident spread all over the
media and social circles.
He picked up the phone and gently answered, his voice choking with sobs. After a day's tense mood,
his emotions finally broke out.
"Jacob, where are you?"
"…… In the company. " He answered in a trembling voice.
"Are you alone?"
"Yeah."
"Tell me the address. I'll come to you."
Jacob wanted to say, "It's too late. You'd better not come." but for the first time, he didn't think too
much. Instead, he replied as soft as an aggrieved child, "Okay, I'll send it to you."
