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.

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