After sending Alice to the hospital to clean her wound, Jacob came to the corridor and called Sara.
While Sara was reading the company's first half year report, her phone rang. It was from Jacob.
Thinking they lived under the same roof, Sara had to face him, so she cleared her throat.
"What's the matter?". Without greeting or saying anything else, Sara cut to the chase.
"Sara, this is your so-called no entanglement. Can you be more insidious? Why don't you come at me? " Jacob was almost exasperated.
Not knowing what to say, Sara asked, "what on earth is it? I don't understand."
Jacob snorted, "you don't understand. Stop pretending. Didn't you ask Bess come to the company to make trouble for Alice?"
Sara's heart sank. She asked anxiously, "is Bess all right?"
"All right?" Jacob asked in a mocking tone. You seem to care about the wrong person. Bess hurt Alice so much that Alice is in hospital. But you are still worry about your friend. You are really good!"
"Hospitalized!" Sara exclaimed in surprise.
As far as Sara knew about Bess, she wouldn't really beat Alice. After all, education was not something that a rich two generations couldn't lack.
"I know. I will go there as soon as possible. Please don't hurt Bess." Sara said calmly.
As soon as she hung up the phone, Bess called her.
"Hello, Sara. I was set up by that woman. " Bess said in an anxious tone.
"Are you okay, Bess? Jacob called me just now and he was very angry. What's wrong with Alice?" While answering the phone, Sara rushed to the hospital. Bess had gone to the hospital. After all, she was the one involved in the matter.
"I didn't expect that. I just wanted to frighten her and hoped that she wouldn't make trouble for you. I just smashed something, such as a cup or something else. But she pressed her hand on the broken glass by herself. There were only two of us in the room at that time, and there was no other person. I couldn't explain it clearly. When Jacob came in, he thought that I hurt Alice." Bess seemed to be still in shock.
"I know, Bess. Don't worry. It's good that you're fine. Wait for me. Let's talk about it later."
After hanging up the phone, a look of fatigue appeared on Sara's delicate face. When could such a torturous time end? In Sara's opinion, it's understandable that Jacob misunderstand her, but he couldn't do so to Bess.
When Sara arrived at the hospital, Bess and Jacob were standing in the corridor.
Jacob was still angry. At Sara's first sight, she could see that Jacob's eyes were red. She wondered how deep his love for a person could make him so sad. It stung Sara. It turned out that Jacob loved Alice so much. It turned out that their relation was just a contractual marriage.
With an aggrieved look on her face, Bess greeted in a low voice, "Sara."
With concern in her eyes, Sara pulled Bess behind her. She whispered, "are you okay, Bess?"
Bess shook her head.
Jacob was furious. "What do you mean by saying that?" What mistake did Alice make? Sara poured coffee on her and then asked Bess to hurt her again. All the good impression she had left in the past 4 years had disappeared. Jacob even thought with self-mockery that she was indeed the most vicious woman. Her kindness in the past was just acting according to circumstances.
"Don't pretend to care about others, Sara. Do you really think you are an actress?" Jacob sneered.
