Chapter 32 Just Like A Thunderbolt Out Of A Clear Sky.
So she couldn't make Sara angry now, Alice thought to herself.
Noticing the attitude of Jacob and Alice, Sara couldn't help sneering. When they had a request from him, they would no longer argue with her and keep silent.
"Why do you look so pale?" Jacob frowned and looked up at Sara.
"It's my own business." Sara resolutely refused.
"You represent my prestige today." Jacob raised his voice. It was obvious that he cared about her, but she was ungrateful.
"Since you've already been humiliated like this, are you afraid of losing more face?" Sara snorted. He always emphasized his own prestige, the interests of the company, and never cared about her own feelings. She didn't need to regret to leave such a person.
Jacob was speechless. Why did the good conversation end up with gunpowder smell every time?
After dinner, Sara followed Jacob to the garage.
Seeing that Sara was about to drive, Jacob said angrily, "are you in a hurry to disassociate yourself from me?"
Sara said coldly, as if she was in a fit of pique. "I don't like the car that other woman have taken. It's dirty."
"You! Don't go too far, Sara. " Hearing what Sara said, Jacob was completely irritated. When did this beautiful woman in front of him become such a dissatisfied woman?
"I'm flattered." Sara opened the car door. She didn't want to share a room with Jacob. It was not because she hated Jacob, but because she was afraid that she would panic if he discussed with her later. If she put all the blame on herself, she didn't know if she would breakdown and tell them the truth.
She couldn't bet. She didn't want to know Jacob's choice so early. Did she have to listen to him making up stories and help Alice and him out?
It hurt Sara like a needle pricking her temple. No one had made Sara so panic, and Jacob was the first one. He was probably the last one. It was enough for her to meet Jacob who brought misfortune to her in her life. She didn't want to meet anyone else.
After Sara drove out, Jacob saw her driving without looking back or even saying a word to him. He felt bad. He didn't expect that Sara would be unwilling to go to the company with him. How ironic! Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Jacob opened the car door and followed closely behind Sara. The distance between the two cars was always maintained at a proper distance, just like in the game of snake eating, one had to keep a corresponding distance, otherwise he would die when he collide someone else.
Jacob made up his mind. He had no choice but to do so today. No matter what, he had to ensure the normal functioning of his company. The company could never be under Jonathan's control. Jonathan was a man who only indulged himself in eating, drinking and flirting with beautiful women. If he took over the control, the company would be over.
He had no choice but to do so.
When they arrived at the company, Sara was waiting for Jacob at the gate. They didn't go in alone, but they didn't talk to each other. Would Sara tell them the real reason of their divorce later? Jacob had his own way to deal with it, but the relationship between them was really a past tense, and there was no room for negotiation. He really hoped that he wouldn't hurt Sara completely.
Jacob raised his head and gazed at Sara, his eyes full of hesitation. It was the first time for him to see [时俊] like this. If someone had to be sacrificed, he would think about how to face it.
In the meeting room on the top floor of the office, the directors of the Shi Clan such as, Michael, Jonathan and others had been waiting for a long time. Jacob slowly opened the door of the meeting room. Sara followed him.
When Michael stared at Jacob and Sara, he could tell that the two were indifferent to each other now. Judging from the tiredness on Sara's face, Michael had probably guessed the reason.
"You're finally here. Come on, explain to the top managers what's going on."
Jonathan threw out a pile of photos, all of which were the intimate photos of Jacob with Alice. The stack of photos in front of Sara made her dazzling.
"I didn't cheat on her or discredit you. I just divorced." Jacob said. Almost everyone present were shocked. Both Sara and Jonathan didn't expect that Jacob would throw such a big bomb before them.
Was this his so-called brilliant idea? Was this the so-called sacrifice? Yes. It was indeed a complete sacrifice. It was obvious that Jacob wanted to keep it a secret, but he told everyone in front of his family and Jonathan that he had abandoned Sara.
Sara felt her heart bleeding, but she couldn't make a sound. Now he had told them everything.
Jonathan was stunned. It was impossible for him to bring Jacob down from his position.
"Well, aren't you afraid of your divorce would contribute to a bad reputation on our company? After all, we don't want to listen to your explanation at all. " Jonathan said with a playful look.
There was a buzz of discussion around.
Jacob walked to Michael's side, lowered his head and whispered with his hands covering his mouth. No one knew what Jacob had said. During this period, Michael looked up at Sara from time to time, but Sara didn't know what they were talking. A few minutes later. Jacob returned to his seat.
After hearing that, Michael kept silent for a few minutes and stood up as if he had thought it over. "The meeting is over." He announced.
Jonathan was shocked, so did the board of directors.
"No, how... The meeting is over. We need an explanation." Jonathan stammered because he was too excited. He couldn't believe that he had finally seized a chance to oust Jacob, but he inexplicably failed all of a sudden.
"That's all for today. No one is allowed to tell others about Jacob's divorce. Otherwise, I'll have to be very unpleasant indeed. When Michael said that, he would definitely do what he said.
Standing aside, Sara was waiting for the crowd to leave. Before Carlos left, he said to Sara, "I'm sorry, Sara." Then Michael walked out of the meeting room.
Stunned, Sara didn't know what was going on. Everyone left. Michael's order had a great influence. After all, the company was founded by him. No one dared to say anything more if he had the order. Jonathan was so angry that he wanted to slam the door, but he didn't dare to lose his temper in front of Michael.
Jacob sent everyone away and was about to go out.
"Wait a minute. What did you say to Michael?" Sara's eyes were filled with complexity.
"I told him Alice is pregnant. He likes children and wants to have grandchildren. So it's a good reason." Jacob was emotionless when he said it, as if he was describing something that had nothing to do with
him.
"Pregnant..." Sara felt dizzy. She had been married for 4 years, but she didn't kids. As a result. How was Alice so quickly? Jacob didn't explain the truth of her pregnancy. Was she really pregnant?
It was just like a bolt from the blue. Jacob told Michael that Alice was pregnant with his child who was the hope of the Shi clan.
"So we have announced that we divorced?" Sara sneered. Her heart was bleeding, and she couldn't show it to him.
"No. We can't announce it now. I just said that I divorced you, but I didn't say that I would marry Alice. The image of the company is very important. I will avoid to appear in public with Alice in the future. And you, I also hope that you can pay attention to your identity. Don't be impatient before our divorce is announced to the public. " Jacob's tone was irrefutable.
