Chapter 30 Threat
Chapter 30 Threat
To comfort her father, Sara forced a smile on her face. "I know, Dad. Trust me too. I will find a way. "
Carlos nodded, "I still have to have a meeting. In order to solve the issue of profit contraction by Jacob, we have to make a plan. Otherwise, if the company's cost keeps driving up, it will be likely to disrupt the capital chain, causing the company to be in danger."
Sara nodded.
For the whole morning, Sara was absent-minded. At the beginning, she had to pretend to have a good relationship with Jacob. But now, her father found she divorced, however, she was not relieved, instead, she felt a heavy burden. Yes, this question was too heavy. It was undoubtedly a bolt Carlos, Sara, and for the company.
The difference was that Sara and her company had been struck by the thunderbolt for a long time, while Carlos had just been hit hard today. Needless to say, sadness was written all over Sara's face.
The divorce news was different from others. People were emotional animals. It was impossible for them not to be afraid of other people's various possibilities after knowing their privacy, especially their relatives.
Sara didn't know when Carlos would relieve. Looking at her father who was getting old, she had thought about keeping this secret forever and not letting him know, but in the end, it couldn't be kept secret. To her surprise, Carlos discover her secret by himself.
Sara felt that she was a loser. This sense of failure was magnified infinitely, as if it was about to explode in her mind. She had no choice but to continue sorting out her contract with Ethan. She tried to numb her nerves by working hard.
Before Sara had decided to cooperate with Ethan, she had some scruples before. After all, she knew that Ethan would occasionally show affection to her, but she just treated him as a common friend. But Ethan didn't make any unambiguous response. Sara could only hope that she had misunderstood her friend's kindness by thinking too much.
Sara was going to accept the offer of being a manager of the newly opened supermarket of Ethan's company. On the one hand, she could improve her ability; on the other hand, she wanted to expand new market for her company and evaded Jacob's control as soon as possible.
Now, Sara loved and hated Jacob, but at the same time, she missed and was afraid of him. But she didn't dare to express her feelings. What was the use of telling him? It was just that her self-esteem was continued to be trampled. Moreover, as a proud woman as Sara, how could she please Jacob when she had been wronged? Jacob should have known this.
After a busy day, Sara was exhausted and drove on the road. The city was bustling with cars and neon lights. Sara couldn't help but lamented that many people's sacrifice helped the city to achieve its prosperity. People surrendered their humiliation, made efforts, and finally only a few people get most of the fruits. Was the world really fair?
Shaking his head, Sara mocked herself for being naive. The world was unfair. From the kindergarten, she had been treated specially by the teachers. Nothing was absolutely fair.
She turned on the radio, and an elegant female voice recommended the songs of the new movie to everyone.
"When a ship sank into the sea
When a person became a mystery
You don't know
Why did they leave.
That goodbye was his last sentence
When a car disappeared into the sky
When a person became a mystery
You don't know?
Why did they leave
Just like you don't know this is the end
At the night when every star abandoned the Milky way Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
I will say goodbye to myself
Because I don't know
I don't want to know either
And the distance between them."
The song was sung slowly and elegantly, and the lyrics touched Sara's heart.
Turning around, Sara decided to watch a movie when she was sad.
The car sped along the road, and the surrounding lights seemed to be the relation between her and Sara.
She couldn't get rid of it. She could only forget it.
When she arrived at the cinema, the show would begin in 10 minutes. Sara bought the ticket. She bought popcorn and a fried chicken chop.
In the past, Sara paid special attention to health care and didn't like to eat anything harmful to her health, such as fried food and snacks. Therefore, Sara had lost a lot of fun in eating. Fortunately, no matter how hard she tried, she still kept the habit of eating desserts, which was harmful to her health. It was rare to have a hobby in life, which was her idea.
But now it seemed that no matter how hard she tried to take care of her health, she couldn't resist ageing, so she'd better to enjoy life as she wished. She should eat and drink.
When she was watching the movie, a student-like boy was chatting with Sara. Being accosted by a young boy had been a matter of school time. Sara didn't expect that she still had this charm. In a much better mood, she talked to the boy in a low voice.
After watching the movie, what impressed Sara the most was that the three people had traveled through more than half of China in their cars. How could they be so free to do such a shocking feat!
Just as it was popular nowadays, many people were exhausted by the surrounding factors in a spontaneous trip. Time, tomorrow, money, study, friends, love, livelihood and so on. Who could do whatever he wanted?
When they parted, the boy asked for Sara's name and phone number. With a smile, she didn't say anything and turned around to disappear from the crowd.
She didn't believe that she still had the right to love. Moreover, she couldn't mislead others when they met for the first time.
The boy saw Sara getting in her Porsche. He seemed to understand something and shook his head, disappearing in the crowd.
All her refusals were silent. The kind of rejection that had to be publicized was nothing more than an excess of vanity.
So when Jacob announced to divorce her quietly, he really wanted to break up with Sara. But he didn't want to make it public. How could a woman's happiness be compared with the interests of the company.
When Sara returned to her villa, it was already 10:15pm in the evening. Unexpectedly, Jacob was typing on the leather sofa in the living room, seeming to be waiting for her.
In order to avoid being self-sentimental, Sara entered the villa and did not speak, slowly walked upstairs. In the past, when Sara came back late, Jacob would ask her where she went. Now, it was obvious that he was indifferent. Man was really impatient. He didn't even want to spare time to tease her.
With mixed feelings, Sara stood on the stairs and turned to look at Jacob, but she didn't expect that Jacob was also looking up at her. For a moment, Sara's heart skipped a beat.
"We will have a family meeting tomorrow and my father Michael asked you to attend. By the time we divorced, Daddy had already known it! " Jacob said sadly.
Looking at the expression on Jacob's face, Sara couldn't figure it out what he was thinking. So what was going on now! What did Jacob mean by sadness? Why did everyone know that he had divorced recently? How would she explain it? After all, only Jacob, Alice and herself knew that she and Jacob had made an agreement to marry. Was he going to announce the divorce? Was he determined to break this nominal relationship with her? Sara felt sad in her heart.
"How did Michael know?"
"As you know, Jonathan has always been unhappy with me. He wants to push me down from the CEO position and take control of the Shi Group by himself. This time, I must have been plotted by him. But I have my own way. I will make it up to you for wronging you!" Jonathan's long and narrow eyes were shining in the light.
"I don't understand what you mean." Sara guessed that what would happen tomorrow might be bad for her.
"You'll know it tomorrow. You go to the company with me at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. You don't have to go to work. " Jacob didn't say anything more. He just announced the result. Just like when they divorced, she had no choice at all.
A bitter smile tugged at the corner of Sara's mouth. "Jacob, am I just a toy in your heart that you don't care about?" Sara stressed "toy", tears welling up in his eyes.
Jacob didn't expect that at this critical moment, Sara would be so emotional. She had always been cold and indifferent to him, hadn't she? Today, she was threatening him with something on him?
