Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife - Chapter 152

Chapter 152: I will make sure you leave with nothing Chapter 152: I will make sure you leave with nothing Jacob staggered a little, but he quickly straightened up and looked back at the large building.

With a hint of mystery in his gaze, he pulled out his phone and made a call.

“I did what you said; now send me the money,” Jacob stated, hanging up the phone after receiving the nod.

His phone buzzed, indicating the amount he had received in his account, and a smile appeared on his lips.

He said, “You are so easy to scare, Jonathan,” and turned to leave.

Jonathan, meanwhile, stood by the window in the office and distracted himself by taking a long drag from his cigarette.

He wondered how Jacob knew about it, given that he did not often share personal details with him.

Yes, they were friends at the time, but he was always private and only shared details of his life with those who needed to know.

As he drew near for the final time, Jonathan flung the cigarette aside and stomped on it.

His eyes blazed with determination as he added, “I must make sure Eveline stays out of it.” Jonathan then took out his phone and dialed his informant.

“I need you to keep track of Jacob Ambrose.

Let me know what he’s up to.” He remarked, and the man on the other end agreed before hanging up the phone.

“I will make sure your shadow doesn’t fall on our lives, Marcus.” **** A man in his late forties was browsing through some files in a room of a massive villa in country P when his assistant walked in to alert him of the call.

“He has done his part, boss,” the man remarked, putting an end to his movements and drawing his gaze towards him.

“Feed his greed for money and make sure he is still useful to us for the time being before we toss him” he continued, and the assistant agreed.

The man paused for a second before speaking up.

“Ah, Boss, regarding the email,” the man paused when he saw his boss’s dark gaze and said, “He responded.” The assistant nodded and swiftly opened the tab to show him the forwarded response.

Jedrick gaze grew dark as he read.

‘Then I’ll wait to see how you win.” A second later, the corner of his lips curved up into a nasty grin, which quickly turned into manic laughter that startled the assistant before everything fell silent.

“His joke is funny,” he murmured, but his tone lacked amusement.

“When is the press meeting?” he asked, changing the subject.

“Next week,” the assistant responded.

“Good, get things wrapped here.

I’d like to fly as soon as possible,” he said before dismissing the assistant.

Jedrick lay back on the couch, his legs resting on one other, and stared blankly in one spot as the door closed.

“You think I’ll let that slip so simply, Jonathan.

I was powerless back then, but today I stand tall with you, and this time I will make sure you leave with nothing, just as you did when you stole my precious person” His words were as emotionless as his eyes, yet there was a gleam of longing in his tone that made his heart tighten at the idea of the past.

“We will meet soon,” he smiled as a familiar face entered his mind, relieving the aching in his heart and allowing him to resume his work.

**** Later that afternoon, after class, Gracey excused herself to go the restroom, leaving her belongings on her desk.

Tiffany took advantage of the situation, rapidly making her way to her desk after ensuring that Eveline was also absent, and searched through her back, where she discovered a message.

She instantly pulled it out and read it, which confirmed her suspicions about Gracey’s role in threatening her.

As she continued to stare at the note, she suddenly remembered an incident from that day when Gracey unexpectedly arrived to sit next to her.

Her behaviour was inconsistent, making her feel odd.

But now that she thinks about it, it makes sense to her.

Gracey was there to retrieve the note she had left under her desk, as Alex had said, and she was now convinced that she was not alone but was working with Eveline, who had discovered her plot.

Tiffany hastily reinserted the letter into her bag and returned to her desk when she noticed Gracey heading to her seat and getting her belongings before leaving again.

Her eyes gleamed with wrath as she drilled a hole in Gracey for being a backstabber and joining forces with her adversary.

She was not going to stand there and watch them play her.

She will make certain that she is well taken care of before proceeding any further.

**** [Hayes International: Ella office] Ella took a long breath and slumped back in her chair, staring blankly at the wall above.

She had been able to deflect her thoughts while Stefan was present, but now that he was gone, she began to think of Max’s remarks again.

It was evident that she couldn’t take his statements seriously because Max would never come after her.

But she couldn’t help but ignore the threat he made on her face.

Ella may have fought him bravely, but she still had a fragile heart that would be afraid at the slightest threat.

“Should I tell Stefan about Max?” She whispered, her gaze fixed on the spot, when the door burst open and Stefan stepped inside.

“You appear to be enjoying your peaceful time without me, Dove,” Stefan murmured as he approached her, and she straightened up in the chair.

“No, I simply felt the need to take a short break,” she said, ready to resume her words when her chair swung to the side and she found herself facing Stefan.

“Is there anything bothering you?” he inquired, sensing the concern on her face.

Stefan’s statements did not surprise Ella, who struggled to maintain her tough facade in front of him.

But, knowing it wasn’t something she couldn’t handle, she lied.

“What is wrong with me?” “Everything is fine?” She uttered this with a smile, only to watch it evaporate the following second.

“Then why didn’t you tell me about Max visiting the house this morning?” He inquired, leaving Ella surprised by his silence.
