Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 373

Jacob hadn't made attempts in such a long time, and because of that, he felt a little different from others. It was not because he was paranoid but because Jacob understood it all.

Life would never be a smooth ride––it was always full of harsh struggles. But in the process of living, Jacob had learned a better understanding of life.

If a person understood those struggles and what life really was, he or she could live better. Jacob knew this better than anyone else.

Standing at the door, everyone watched him with a bitter look on their faces. Jacob was kicked out of the company just because of a trivial matter.

And all of them thought it was unreasonable, but it was his own choice.

Even as he walked out of the Shi Group office building, there was no hint of nostalgia on his face.

For one, the sense of nostalgia showed that a person was reluctant to leave; for two, it exhibited that the person was afraid of losing. And Jacob was neither of those––he was not afraid of losing.

Meanwhile, Cindy helplessly watched him get in the car until he drove away. Only then did the people in the company finally realize what entirely happened. Jacob's career as the Shi Group CEO had really come to an end, and they were not satisfied with it.

This might probably bite them in the future, and by then, they would really regret that they didn't keep Jacob today. Although it was hard to change his firm decision, no one tried their best to persuade him.

And to rub salt to the injury, they believed that the company could continue to run no matter if he left. Of course, that was their most naive idea.

One day, they would really regret what happened today. And when they looked back, they would realize how narrow-minded they were.

Meanwhile, sitting in the car, Jacob breathed a sigh of relief. Everything he had––his car, clothes, and house––was all arranged to match his status as the CEO. Now that he had resigned as the CEO, he would lose those privileges.

Although he was no longer running the company, he still owned some of its shares; he could still live a comfortable life and do well in business.

Resigning and giving up those shares were two different things. Even if he quit leading the Shi Group, there was no way he'd give up his shares. Jacob was bent on doing this.

But there was one more thing he worried about––it was James. Would he and James still be the same as before?

To be honest, Jacob found it hard to believe. He knew James cared for him, but he could also tell that something was wrong.

Jacob couldn't point it out because he was too naive to see through it. Besides, his father and James were like brothers, and this relationship hindered him from seeing the truth.

It was not until now that he realized that all of this might not be true. Did they deliberately fool him just to spare him the pain of knowing the truth?

Jacob shut his eyes and leaned back against the leather seat. The driver gazed at the mirror and saw his sullen mood.

The latter obviously viewed him differently. If faced with this situation, others would do whatever it took to keep their position instead of letting others get what they wanted.

Everyone knew that some people in the company wanted Jacob to step down so they could control everything. But much to their surprise, Jacob disdained to compete with them.

Squinting his eyes, Jacob heard his phone ringing.

He picked it up and saw Sara's name on the screen. He was too busy to remember that Sara might have seen the news and was probably worried by now.

Thinking of this, Jacob answered the phone.

"Hello, Sara. How are you?" Jacob tried his best to calm himself down.
