A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 1460

Even after asking Darren for so much already, Mr. Wang didn't feel a single ounce of shame in his body. It seemed that being able to make the renowned KING Group submit to his wishes made him full of arrogance.

Meanwhile, Harlan was quite efficient with his duties. Within an hour, he managed to draft a new contract and bring it back to Mr. Wang's office.

Both secretaries stood as legal witnesses for the contract signing. Darren just wanted to be done with it, so he no longer hesitated and wrote his signature on the piece of paper.

There was a playful smile on Mr. Wang's face as he signed his name on the contract right after Darren. He then turned around to his secretary and specifically asked her to give Darren a box of some expensive tea he had brought back from Burma.

After receiving Mr. Wang's gift, Darren hastily stood up and left the factory with a blank expression on his face. He threw Harlan the box of tea and got into the car by himself. He sped off and headed to the KING Group's headquarters.

Harlan idly stood by the side of the road and watched as the car slowly disappeared from sight. He let out a long sigh and decided to take a taxi back.

It didn't take long for Darren to get back to the KING Group. He stomped his feet while he walked towards his office. As he was about to enter, his phone suddenly rang.

He thought that it could be Bonnie who was calling him. His tense expression relaxed a little bit at the thought of her sweet, delicate face. But when he looked at the number on the screen, his eyes widened in shock.

He prepared himself mentally and proceeded to press the answer button.

Needless to say, his mind was racing with possibilities of why this particular person dared to call him.

On the other end of the phone, Jacob's faint laughter could be heard. He even had a friendly tone when he casually greeted Darren. "Hi, Mr. Xu, it's me."

Darren tried his best to stay calm. He didn't want his rival, Jacob, to get the satisfaction from knowing that he was distressed. "What's the matter, Mr. Gu? It seems odd that you would give me a call out of the blue."

Jacob was amused and couldn't stop himself from chuckling while he replied, "Mr. Xu, we're about to be business partners soon. I called to simply wish you a fruitful partnership for the coming future."

'Partners?' Darren thought to himself while he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

An unimaginable thought popped into Darren's head. The troubled expression on his face grew and he couldn't resist asking, "What do you mean?"

Jacob was in a good mood and even kindly explained it to him. "The factory that you signed a contract with earlier is owned by the HT Group. Honestly, I didn't expect you to have such good taste for factories that you managed to find ours even though we tried our best to hide our association with them."

With this shocking revelation, Darren couldn't help but tighten his grip on the phone in sheer anger. His bony fingers visibly turned a pale white. In spite of that, he still tried his best to sound calm, as if he was fully aware of what Jacob had just said.

"I'm sorry to say this to you, Darren, but I'm one step ahead of you once again." Jacob's subtle mockery stirred up a great wave of emotions within Darren's heart.

Still in complete disbelief, Darren could only sneer at Jacob. "Mr. Gu, it seems that you aren't afraid to be boastful of your actions. I would be careful if I were you."

Jacob couldn't help but feel full of himself. He chuckled. "You wanted something from me and I had to do my best to deliver. However, as far as I'm concerned, your current financial resources won't be enough to fulfill your wishes. After all, there's a bigger storm waiting for you in the near future."

The way Jacob spoke was stone-cold. He didn't care about the consequences that his words might have.

Darren was still not convinced by Jacob's threats so he replied, "Mr. Gu, don't worry. As long as your HT Group is still active, my KING Group will be just fine."

"Oh, really?" Jacob quickly responded. His grin grew bigger as he added, "Well, then we'll just have to wait and see."

Darren hung up without showing a single shred of emotion. He stared blankly at the empty wall in front of him for a few moments. Suddenly, a huge surge of wrath came from within him. He gritted his teeth and threw the phone to the ground.

Bang!

The extreme force of the phone hitting the ground caused a harsh cracking sound. The screen shattered into small shards of glass that scattered all over the floor.

The expression on Darren's face darkened. He clenched his fists so tight that his blue veins stood out from his arms and the back of his hands.

It was unthinkable that he had been manipulated by that sneaky Jacob once again!

Outside the office, one of the assistants was surprised by the loud noise. He went to Darren's room to check up on him. He cautiously asked, "President Xu, what happened?"

Darren closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He tried his best to control his emotions but it was no use. His blood was at the boiling point and the only thing he could do was to order his assistant to leave.
