A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 1588

Darren's eyes sparkled as he thought of the key again.

From the look in Harlan's eyes, it was clear that he was also thinking of the same thing. “When God closes a door, he opens a window. I've sent someone to successfully infiltrate the Tyrone Mansion as a servant and look for an opportunity to help you. So don't worry, Mr. Xu.“

'Impressive,' Darren thought. Honestly, he couldn't have asked for a better right-hand man than Harlan. He gave Harlan an appreciative look and nodded. Now that someone had sneaked into the mansion, he could rest easy. There was only one thing left to do—keep fighting.

“Find a way to spread the news that the KING Group is going to transform in the field of skincare products. Be careful with the advertisements, and don't overdo it!“ Darren ordered sternly.

This was the best way to get the attention of the HT Group. Harlan nodded obediently and left.

At the HT Group's headquarters...

The company's latest products were number one in the market. Their products were definitely phenomenal. They had spent countless nights in an effort to perfect their products, and it showed. Jacob had also worked hard for several weeks to ensure the success of their new items.

However, their job wasn't done yet. Jacob knew that it would still take a lot of his time and energy to maintain the products' stable sales. On top of that, he also had to keep a close eye on the KING Group's movements. Jacob's ultimate goal was to destroy the KING Group, no matter what.

In the past few weeks, Jacob had practically drowned himself with work. Even though the products were doing well, he could not find time to relax. The dark circles under his eyes only got worse as the days passed by. All the female employees in the HT Group felt sorry for their boss.

“Our boss is clearly exhausted. He has to work hard to compete with his business competitors. When he gets home, he still has to take care of his wife and three children…“

“That's true. As his employees, we also have to work hard. We have some new products that would make our jobs easier! I also bought some raw materials and made the product at my own house...“

There were two thick files on Jacob's table, and he had only just finished going through half of them. When he looked at the clock on the wall, he saw that it was already five o'clock in the evening. There was only an hour left before he had to get off work.

For several weeks in a row, he had made a habit of getting home before ten o'clock at night. Jacob did that because he was afraid that his wife would worry too much. Whenever he arrived home from work, the children would already be asleep, and he often had to continue working in his home office. Emily even teased him about his busy schedule. When he left for work, the children would still be asleep, and when he came home, the children were already in bed. He was never at the house when the children were awake. Emily told him that it wouldn't be surprising if their youngest son had already forgotten his father's face at this point.

Jacob knew that he couldn't let this continue. It was not good for him and his family.

After reading some of the documents on the table, he sighed and leaned on his chair. He pondered over it for a few seconds. Finally, he set aside his work and decided to get off work on time for a change!

Usually, around this hour, Emily would be on her way home from work. Jacob sent Emily a WeChat message. “Honey, I'll get off work on time today,“ he read the text message out loud before hitting send.

After he sent the message, Jacob immediately regretted it. He should have just gone home without texting so he could surprise Emily and the children.

“Got it,“ Emily replied with two words.

Two emotionless words?! There was not a single hint of excitement in the text.

After he read the text, Jacob couldn't help but feel a little angry. It wasn't easy for him to decide to get home early, but his wife seemed indifferent. Why hadn't she given a more enthusiastic reaction? Was she upset?

Despite his annoyance, he still thought about what gifts he should bring for his wife and kids.

He went to a shop and bought a bouquet of baby's breath and roses for his wife, and toys for his children. Then, he went to the Tyrone Mansion, carrying big bags of gifts.

“Daddy is here!“ Ever since they heard that their father would join them for dinner tonight, Beryl and Bowen had been looking forward to it. They excitedly waited for their father's return. When they saw Jacob's car coming in, they couldn't help but jump up in happiness, and ran to the kitchen to inform Emily.

Emily was busy cooking. When she heard that Jacob had arrived, she smiled. The children hadn't seen their father for a few days, so their excitement was not surprising. “Then why don't you guys go to the door and greet him?“ she suggested softly.

Jacob held the flowers and toys in his hand as he made his way to the front door. As soon as the housekeeper opened the door, two children rushed over to him.
