Chapter 286 Meet again
Bam! When the video was over, Jacob raised his hand and slammed it against the table. The object on the table bounced up and then fell back down. Jacob glared at it and cursed, "Poppy! I didn't know you had a backup plan!"
Poppy made a video that exposed everything she had done over the years. Not only that, but she also entrusted all her assets and titles to Lucia. No wonder Samuel said Lucia was in his office in the morning! What should he do, what should he do...
For the first time, Jacob panicked and had no idea what to do.
Oh, and Spencer!
Jacob immediately called Spencer. But to his disappointment, Spencer didn't pick up the phone. Realizing he might have done it on purpose, Jacob smashed the phone, rushed to his bedroom, washed and dressed, and rushed to the office.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
When Jacob arrived at the entrance of the company, he noticed that many people were gathered in front of the company. At this moment, they were stopped by the company's security guards outside the building. As soon as they saw his car driving over, they immediately raised a sign. It said "Jacob gets out of the JTP", and a lot of attacking words that made Jacob turned livid when he saw them. For a moment, Jacob was afraid to get out of the car. However, the security guard found the CEO's car and came to help him open the car door. Jacob wanted to slap the attentive security guard. When he got out of the car, Jacob heard a lot of abuse. He was shocked. He told the security guard to stop the crowd and quickly hid inside the building. But as soon as he entered the building, Jacob felt even more uncomfortable.
The way everyone looked at him changed. Some of them even whispered to each other in front of him. They waited for him to stare at them before lowering their eyes, pretending to be submissive. Jacob was furious and blamed it all on Poppy.
"Bitch, I don't feel safe even after you're dead!" Whispering a curse, Jacob got in the elevator, right up to the top floor.
As soon as he got off the elevator, he was confronted by his subordinate, Samuel, who saw Jacob and rushed over to him and said,
"Boss, you're finally here. Now the company is in chaos!"
"Where are Lucia and Arthur?" Jacob asked, frowning as he made his way to the office.
"They're in the main conference room. The top executives are all there," said Samuel.
"Who told them to meet Lucia and Arthur?!" Jacob was furious. He wanted to calm the inner circle first. After all, Poppy's report sent JTP's stock tumbling, and it would have been inappropriate for them to meet Lucia.
Samuel's heart skipped a beat. He dared not say that it was him who called them for the meeting, so he said, "Lucia requested the meeting with the higher management as soon as she arrived. She has a different status now, so I can't stop her."
"Who is she?! Giving orders in the JTP?!" Jacob walked to the door of his office, and before he can open the door, Samuel's words prompted an expletive.
"You'll find out who I am." As soon as Jacob finished speaking, Lucia's voice rang out behind them. Jacob turned around abruptly, widening his eyes. He saw Lucia standing in front of the elevator with her arms folded. She was looking at him coldly.
Jacob pulled back his hand and walked straight to Lucia. Just as Arthur was not there, he went to talk to her.
Lucia didn't move. She looked calmly at Jacob, who was walking towards her with an angry look.
"Lucia, what are you doing?!" Jacob growled as he approached Lucia.
"Don't you know what I'm going to do?" Lucia sneered, with her eyes freezing as she stared unflinchingly at Jacob,
"Are you okay after Poppy died?"
Jacob glared at Lucia. He was taller than Lucia, but his size didn't help. Instead, he felt like he was looking up at her, and he wasn't happy about it!
"Lucia, aren't you glad Poppy is dead? After what she did to you, you've got your revenge! Now that she's gone, we can settle our differences peacefully. Whatever you want, just say it, and I'll give it to you!" Jacob rolled his eyes, start luring Lucia with profits.
"Not yet," replied Lucia softly. "Aren't you my enemy too?"
"Are you really going to push me over the edge? !" Jacob said through gritted teeth. He had many plans, but he didn't know that Poppy gave everything to Lucia. If Lucia wanted to, he would be in more troubles!
"Jacob, does that sound familiar to you?" Lucia asked Jacob with a chuckle.
Jacob was stunned and didn't know how to respond.
Lucia continued, "I said the same thing to you when you threw me out of the house. What did you say to me?"
Jacob was speechless.
Cause and effect, and now he knew it.
Seeing Jacob being speechless and sullen, Lucia turned in disgust and walked into the elevator that had just opened. Before the door was closed, she said to Jacob,
"I'll be waiting for you in the conference room. Don't make me wait too long."
Jacob stared at the elevator door as it closed, and was completely lost in thought, but just then Samuel leaned in and asked him,
"Boss, what do we do now?"
"I don't know what to do!" Jacob snapped. "I don't know what to do!" He yelled at Samuel. "I'll just have to see what Lucia and Arthur are up to at the top."
"Boss, I don't think we have to be afraid of them. Even if Lucia inherits Poppy's inheritance, it doesn't mean that the higher-ups will recognize her status. You're the person who has absolute control of the shares. Isn't it your job to take her out of the picture?" Samuel was Jacob's trusted subordinate, and did his best to help Jacob. After all, if Jacob fell from power, it had put an end to his good life.
"It's not as simple as you think," Jacob understood what Samuel said, but he never revealed to outsiders the details of his agreements with Poppy that only Kane knew about. He should have Dan took him down with Poppy!
The look in Jacob's eyes was so fierce that he couldn't lose his composure in front of his subordinates. He calmed himself down for a moment and said to Samuel, "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Let's go see Lucia and Arthur."
