Chapter 138 Hearst's Hatred

Jacob was arrested within a week. When the police found him, he was in worn clothes and messy hair. His clothes were dirty and smelly.

It was said that Jacob was hiding everywhere to avoid being found. Since he couldn't live in the hotel, he had to stay under the bridge. He was as disheveled as a beggar. When his wretched situation was wildly reported, he became the laughingstock of the city.

Heidy sneered when she saw Jacob's poor face on the screen. Seeing that he was handcuffed by the police and his eyes flashed with despair, Heidy knew that her father could rest in peace.

"Dad, I know that Jacob has to spend the rest of his life in prison. An evil person has its own retribution. This is God's punishment for him," said Heidy softly. However, when she thought that Wilson had put all the blame on Jacob, she slightly squinted her eyes. She knew it was not easy to deal with Wilson.

In the prison, Jacob was taken to a room by the police. Seeing Hearst standing there expressionlessly, Jacob asked with a cold face, "What are you doing here?"

With both hands in his pockets, he replied in a plain tone, "See how you suffer in here. You have hidden yourself well these days. Do you know why you were arrested?"

With a livid face, Jacob said angrily, "Oh, it's you! We've never had any grudges. Do you want to completely destroy me just because of Heidy?"

Seeing his expression, Hearst took a step forward and just glanced at assistant Liu. The latter understood what he meant. He took out his notebook and opened a document. Then Jacob could see that the JA Group was sold at auction.

Upon seeing this, Jacob was shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief. "No, it's impossible. It's not going to be like this. It's impossible..."

"From now on, there will be no JA Group in A city, it will disappear forever. Jacob, do you feel good seeing your business destroyed?" said Hearst, half-smiling.

Jacob rushed forward quickly, but was caught by the police, "Why do you want me to see it, why..."

Hearst narrowed his eyes and turned to look at him, speaking with a sneer, "I want you to suffer, living in shame forever. Your half lifetime efforts had turned into bubbles. You had witnessed the destruction of JA Group step by step, but you could do nothing about it. You must be very desperate. You deserve it, Jacob."

Before he could finish, Jacob shouted, "Why do you treat me like this! Hearst, I'll kill you!"

Hearst cast a glance at the two policemen, who understood his meaning. They locked Jacob in a chair and turned around to leave the room for them. "If you want to know the reason, I will let you know." Then, Hearst looked at her coldly and said, "You should have foreseen this coming when you once raped my mother."

Jacob looked at him in shock, and his face suddenly turned as pale as paper. Jacob looked at him in a trembling voice, "You, you know everything?"

Hearst grabbed him by the jaw and said with hatred, "Yes, I knew it. In order to keep you by her side, Abby knew that you had feelings for my mother, so she tricked my mother and you raped her. My mom wouldn't have been depressed if it weren't for you two!"

When Hearst thought about this matter, he got so furious that he even wanted to kill Jacob. But he was too young to do that. So from then on, he had been telling himself that he must take revenge.

Jacob looked at him in horror, his face as pale as death. He didn't expect that Hearst would hold a grudge against him all the time. "Don't blame me. It was Abby who told me to do that. I can apologize to you, Hearst. Please let me go. I beg you..."

Jacob's hand gripped more tightly, and he showed a painful expression. Closing his eyes, Hearst said coldly, "I won't spare anyone who is related to this. You have to spend the rest of your life in prison, Jacob. I've told them to take good care of you. And you won't feel bored in prison, either."

Jacob's fear kept growing, and he suddenly understood what he meant at the thought of being beaten this afternoon. "Hearst, please let me go. I was wrong..." Before he finished his words, Hearst kicked him.

"I will make you regret it and make your life a living hell." Finishing these words, Hearst turned around and left arrogantly.

Jacob sat there in despair, and his eyes were filled with regret. "I didn't expect that my life would be destroyed in my own hands."

After Hearst left the prison, he and Noah were drinking in a bar. Having avenged his mother, Hearst felt much more relaxed. "What Jacob has done is not only getting him into trouble, but also his wife and son. This punishment is enough for him," said Noah.

Hearst nodded and said calmly, "Xu family has been destroyed, and Abby couldn't go back to the Tan family. It was her retribution. Nobody wanted to marry a hooker like her now. Now, there is only..."

As they were talking, Noah suddenly pointed at somewhere in amazement and asked, "Isn't Heidy and her best friend?"

Following the direction of Noah's gaze, Hearst indeed saw that Heidy came to the bar with Jessica. Seeing this, Hearst frowned, got up straight and walked towards them. "What are you doing here? You are pregnant," Hearst frowned and said in a serious tone.

At the sight of him, a hint of surprise flashed across Heidy's eyes. Then she calmly said, "I come here for Jessica."

Hearing her explanation, Hearst nodded. Noah leaned over and chuckled, "Little girl, don't drink like other girls. Otherwise, you might get drunk."

Before he finished his words, Jessica said with hands akimbo, "How dare you look down on me? I won't get drunk. But you, toy boy, are too weak to stand a gust of wind. You got drunk, right?"

Looking at her disdainful expression, Noah raised his eyebrows and said, "You look down upon me? If you have the guts, drink with me."

Raising her chin proudly, Jessica said, "Do you think I'm afraid you? Go!" With these words, she walked towards Noah.

Hearing this, Heidy had to follow her reluctantly. Since Heidy was pregnant, so Noah booked a private room. Then, he started to have a fierce battle with Jessica. Seeing they were so excited, Heidy reminded them, "Take your time. Don't be in such a hurry."

Jessica waved her hand and said with a smile, "I can't lose to him." After saying that, she drained the glass in one gulp.

Then, Hearst handed her the milk and said calmly, "Noah is good at drinking."

"Jessica is great either," Not to be outdone, Heidy retorted.

Hearst didn't retort, but raised his eyebrows, keep watching. But they were all good at drinking. The result of the battle remained uncertain. Heidy was a little tired and stretched her arms.

Noticing her facial expressions, Hearst asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Without saying anything, Hearst just raised his hand and massaged her back to make her feel more comfortable. Turning her head to look at him, Heidy had mixed feelings.

Under his tender massage, she felt much better. Noticing the depressing atmosphere in the room, Hearst stood up and said, "Let's go out for a blow."

Hesitating for a few seconds, Heidy stood up and followed him out. Getting out of the bar, she breathed fresh air and said slowly: "It seems that the bar is not suitable for pregnant women."

"Yes. Don't come here frequently," said Hearst in a low voice.

Heidy didn't answer, but looked up at the dark sky. "Jacob's matter has come to an end. Could you tell me the resentment between you two?" asked Heidy curiously.

After a short silence, he said, "At that time, Jacob raped my mother and she got depression. Then her condition worsened and she committed suicide."

Heidy looked at him in shock and disbelief, "How could it be? Did your father know about this?"

He squinted and a cold light appeared in his eyes, "He knows, but in order not to affect the cooperation with Jacob, he turned a blind eye. He is just like Jacob. They are all bad guys."

She looked at him in shock. It took her a while to accept the fact. "Your father is also a weirdo. He can endure it. Why did he have to cooperate with Jacob after what he had done to your mother?"

"He didn't have much feelings for my mother. When his first wife was pregnant, he met my mother and fell in love with her. He deceived my mother by sweet words. In his eyes, business is more important than my mother's reputation," said Hearst coldly.

He said calmly, but she could feel his hatred in his eyes. No one could be as indifferent as he was now. "He was cruel!" said Heidy.

Hearst turned around and looked at her. He said in a serious tone, "I don't object if you want to take revenge on him. Although he is my father, he is also my enemy."

Following his words, Heidy fell into silence. She didn't expect that there would be such resentment between him and his father. After a long silence, Heidy said slowly, "I see. I will reconsider our relationship. If I can..."

Before she finished her words, Hearst knew what he meant. "Okay. I'll wait for you. It's late. Let's go inside. The other two probably finished the drinks." As he spoke, Hearst put his hand in front of her.

She hesitated for a few seconds and didn't give her hand to him. With a light smile, Heidy walked forward. She might forgive him in the future, but not now. No matter whether they were enemies or not, the face that he was Wilson's son could never change. Seeing his hand was empty, Hearst smiled calmly, took back his hand and walked forward in a calm way.
