Chapter 256 I Knew There Was Something Fishy About Her
Susan frowned slightly and she looked at Jacob. " Jacob, is this..."
"Susie, don't get involved in this," Jacob said calmly.
"Okay." Susan agreed and stopped interfering.
Seth was in shock, "Susan, are you just going to let him do whatever he wants?"
Susan looked at Seth innocently, "When it comes to relationships, even siblings cannot interrupt."
Susan and Jacob were both very careful with boundaries.
Although they were siblings, they usually did not interfere with each other's relationships.
After all, it was a very personal issue, so personal that only the people involved had the right to make the decisions for themselves.
"You, you..." Seth pointed his finger at Susan shakily, then looked at Julian. "Julian."
Julian raised his eyebrows, "Who am I to interfere?"
Seth felt even more frustrated, he stomped his feet and said grumpily, "I don't care, I don't agree with this decision."
Jacob glanced at him strangely. "Objection overruled.”
Jacob's cold reaction infuriated Seth even more.
Jacob was getting a little impatient, "I will take her in. You either give me the money or let her stay in the house."
"I, I, I, I.." Seth gritted his teeth, "She’ll stay in the house! I will ask the maid to tidy up the room."
"Okay." Jacob nodded.
Jenny smiled gently and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, did I cause some conflict between the two of you?"
"You? Can you?" Seth sneered.
Jenny seemed to be hurt by Seth's attitude. She put on a pitiful expression and reached out to hold Jacob's arm. "Jacob, I.."
"That's it. The weather is cold, let’s go home." Jacob said.
"Fine," Seth glanced at Jenny and snickered coldly, this woman clearly had ill-intentions. Instead of letting her live with Jacob alone, it would be better to take her in and watch her!
After saying bye, Julian and Susan asked the driver to come and pick them up.
Although she told Seth that she would not interfere with Jacob's relationships, when it was just her and Julian, Susan could not help but worry.
Susan bit her lower lip, "Julian, do you think... there’s
something off about the woman?”
Julian raised his eyebrows, "We just came out for a walk and she just so happened to be jumping off into the river. Don’t you think it's too coincidental?"
"You're saying that...” Susan panicked, "Someone arranged her to be there?"
"Most likely so." The first person to come to Julian's mind was Joseph.
His gaze turned stern. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
During the press conference, Joseph lost to them terribly.
Yet, even after embarrassing himself, he still behaved much more calmly than Julian had expected.
There was only one possibility - Joseph had a back-u p plan.
Previously, Julian could not imagine what plan Joseph could possibly have. However, now that he saw Jenny, Julian suddenly understood.
Most likely, that woman was Joseph's true plan.
However, these were all just guesses, so Julian did not say it in detail.
Yet, what he said was enough to frighten Susan.
"Julian, what do we do? Jacob remembers this woman, so she is probably very important to him. If she betrays Jacob again, he will not be able to take it.” Susan could not help but worry.
Julian raised his eyebrows.
Just when he was about to say something, he received a text message.
It was from Jacob.
"Jenny’s appearance tonight was fishy - there’s something off about her. It would be easier to watch her if we take her in. Ask Susie not to worry. I have m y own precautions, so she won't be able to hurt me. Don't let Seth know, though. He can't hide his feelings. I'm worried that he will ruin our plan."
Julian smiled.
He handed the phone to Susan.
Susan took a look and let out a sigh of relief, "Thank God Jacob noticed."
The woman’s appearance was full of questionable mysteries. If Jacob was still as in love with her as he used to be, it was entirely possible for him to neglect these things.
However, Jacob was clearly much calmer than what the person planning this had expected.
"Since your brother is aware, we can be at peace now," Julian smiled, then said somewhat excitedly, "Seth would probably have to be quite mad for a while."
Thinking of Seth's possible reaction, Susan smiled too.
In the apartment.
"The room is ready, go rest. Remember that I am just taking you in temporarily. Hurry up and find a place t o stay, and leave once you’ve found it," Seth said rudely.
"I-I understand." Jenny feared up.
Seth could not stand her.
'This woman is so fake, so b*tchy, and most importantly, she is flat! What does Jacob even like about her?’ 1
Yet, he had no right to interfere in their relationship, s o he could only leave angrily.
"Jacob, your friend is so fierce," Jenny said pitifully," Does he not welcome me here?"
"Yes," Jacob glanced at her and nodded.
Jenny was taken aback by his answer. After a while, she said tearfully, "Did my appearance affect your friendship? If so, I think it’s better if I leave."
She acted like she was about to leave.
Jacob simply watched her leave.
When Jenny reached the door and realized that Jacob was not going to stop her, she stopped awkwardly, then tried her best to look natural. "Jacob, it's okay, don’t you worry. It's okay if he doesn't welcome me, I only need you to welcome me. Over the past year, do you know how much I’ve missed you?"
Jenny walked towards Jacob and gently touched his
arm.
This time, Jacob did not avoid her.
A look of joy flashed across Jenny’s face. She spoke even more lovingly, "Jacob, in my entire life, the only person I've ever loved is you.”
She reached out her hand to touch Jacob's chest flirtatiously.
She even started to unbutton Jacob’s shirt.
After unbuttoning one button, just when she was about to reach for the second button, Jacob grabbed her hand and said coldly, "That's enough."
’’Huh?" Jenny looked at him, confused.
"It's getting late, you should rest,” Jacob said and left without looking back.
Jenny watched him leave and gritted her teeth.
What went wrong? In the past, Jacob would do anything for her. But now, he seemed a little difficult t o deal with.
