A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 31

"It is true, so what?" Jacob glanced at him, dismissed him for being too naive and said, "I am the majority shareholder."

Jack found it difficult to understand why Jacob would want to invest in Victor's company. If Jacob was interested in jewelry, it would have been much easier for him to run a jewelry company on his own.

"Uncle, do you know that Victor..."

Jack couldn't even finish his sentence without feeling nauseous. It was really hard for him to admit that his own woman and Victor were having an affair.

"What about Victor?"

Jacob looked at him blankly. "He is like a brother to me. You should also address him as uncle according to his seniority."

"Uncle?"

Jack was about to spit blood when he heard Jacob.

Jack was only willing to call Jacob "uncle", after all, Jacob was his senior in the family. But who was Victor to him?

Why should he call him Uncle Victor?

Not to mention that Victor was Emily's paramour!

How could he ever accept that!

"Jack, do you really think I don't know what you've been up to lately?"

The cold and dreadful voice of Jacob brought Jack back to his senses. Jack wanted to defend himself, but in the end he decided to tighten his lips and shut his mouth.

'Turns out he knew everything about Victor and Emily, and still he chose to invest in LA jewelry, regardless. ' Jack was furious.

"You have not paid any attention to our family business lately, instead you've been wasting your time on a woman."

Even from his chair, Jacob had a stronger commanding presence compared to Jack who was standing there, motionlessly. "You have been given a good position, but if you don't excel at your work, there are lots of people who would want to replace you in a heartbeat."

Jack's facial expression changed drastically. He knew what Jacob said was not only a warning, but also a fact. After all, it was a large family business with multiple branches and many people from his family who would gladly take Jack's place in the company.

Family love had always been the weakness in a wealthy family, while strength was the only thing mattered.

"Uncle, I..." Jack tried to defend himself, but he was abruptly interrupted by Jacob.

"I will transfer you to the M Country branch. In the next term, I want you to focus your mind on your work, rather than women, understand?!"

This decision was so sudden and final that it frightened Jack.

Jack assumed that Jacob had exiled him in order to teach him a lesson, but if he really left the country, wouldn't it mean that Emily and Victor would be free to be together?

How could he make peace with that! How could he even allow such thing to happen?

If he couldn't get to be happy, those two wouldn't get to be happy either!

"Uncle, I don't want to go to the M Country branch. Please, let me stay at the headquarters, I will definitely..."

"Jack, do you want to defy my order?"

"No, uncle, I..."

"There is no room for negotiations."

The voice of Jacob was cold and stern.

Jacob opened a file on his desk, and shifted his attention away from Jack.

Jack had no other choice but to swallow his anger. Although Jack was not happy with Jacob's decision, he could do nothing but agree to his uncle's order, reluctantly, "Yes, I understand."

Bearing all the prying eyes of her colleagues, Emily enjoyed a few days of lunch benefits. When Sam finally stopped bringing her food, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

On that same day, the mythical majority shareholder also decided to make his first appearance at the LA Jewelry Company. However, instead of making a public appearance, he specifically asked for Emily to see him in the office.

Emily did not suspect anything out of the ordinary. She assumed that the other party had instructions for her, so she quickly went to the designated office.

She stood in front of the door, and as soon as she knocked on the door, she heard a man's voice, "Come in."

Emily casually pushed the door in, looked up and saw a familiar handsome face, "Mr. Jacob?"

Emily was shocked. Was Jacob the rich and powerful shareholder Victor had mentioned before?
