Chapter 152 152: 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."
