Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

He knew it was unbelievable, but it was the truth. He had never seen that person and had only contacted him a few times before discovering the contact card with a message on it.

When Jonathan didn't remain unfazed, Jacob remembered something and swiftly dug into his pocket, pulling out the card.

"Here, this is what I was given," he replied, passing him the card, and Jonathan began to read it.

"Bastard," he cursed as his grasp on the card tightened, crushing it.

"It was a trap set for you Jacob, and what a surprise you fell into it," Jonathan sneered, casting an angry stare at Jacob that caused him to lower his gaze.

"I know, and I apologize for everything," he said.

Jonathan sighed. He couldn't believe Jacob, who was so intelligent, could become such a futile person as a result of his addiction.

"It's hard for me to entirely trust you-" Jacob looked up at Jonathan with concern in his eyes.

"I am willing to do anything if it means you can all forgive me," Jacob answered, soaking in Jonathan's remarks.

Jonathan's lips curled into a pleased smile as he spoke...
