CHAPTER 89

Sitting on Rebecca’s bed, Jacob looked quite frustrated. For one thing, his wife was sitting next to him and resting her head on his shoulders. He didn’t want to tell her to get up, but at the same time, he had more important things to do. Dealing with Johnny’s body is just a minor part of that.

However, what angered him more was seeing his daughter designing a suit right in front of his eyes. “Is this the time to be planning designs?” “The request came from my old friend Evelyn. She wants to surprise her boss, so I need to finish this as fast as possible.” “To her boss? Who the hell is her boss? Some roadside romeo?”

“CEO Adam of Conreid Lore.”

Jacob went silent for a little while. “You can carry on, but do something about your mother. She’s totally out.”

“Yeah, so why don’t you just put her down on the bed?”

“I’m afraid she’ll wake up if I move. You come and deal with her.” Rebecca sighed and did what Jacob asked of her and succeeded. Jacob didn’t wait another second and slipped out of the room, sweating profusely for many reasons.

When Jacob was walking out of the villa, he noticed Anous outside, standing, requesting with his eyes to take him back into the job. It was Shawn who gave him the job in the first place, so Jacob simply told him to ask Shawn. He could have just said ‘you can come to work’, but he didn’t want any unnecessary headache from his wife.

I’m still the same. It’s still the same me. It’s just that I feel like…” he looked at his arms, “I’m bound by some invisible chains I can’t break. Maybe living in society as a common citizen is affecting me. Don’t know where this will take me.” He started the car. On his way back, he tossed the shovel into the woods. The police stopped the car at multiple spots and checked his car and noted his details before letting him go. Benjamin came home late at night.
