Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 406

Alice really wanted Jonathan to be her ally. Besides, she had never seen anyone who hated Jacob like he did. In a bid to please him, she put more food into his plate and flattered him occasionally. Jonathan was pleased with all that Alice was doing. He had a huge smile plastered on his face. It seemed that he had fallen totally into her trap.

The three of them continued to discuss their dubious plan as they munched on their food. They were in quest of ways to bring just one man down. As they talked, they reached a preliminary agreement. The trio had several ideas that summed up into a concrete plan.

Staring blankly at the plate, Alice felt bitter. The hatred she had for Jacob grew more intense. She also clutched her fork tightly as she thought of all the horrible things she would do to him.

Alice had never thought that she would be in that position. But as fate would have it, she was now sitting at this table planning the havoc that would wreak him.

'But Jacob, you forced me to do this. It is all your fault, not mine. I'm only acting according to the treatment that you meted out to me. All I ever did was to love you. Since you are so ungrateful, I have no other choice but to deal with you!'

Thinking of this, Alice moved closer to Jonathan. Her body was rubbing his slightly.

Jonathan was elated with Alice's action. 'Damn! This beautiful lady is throwing herself at me. I should make good use of this opportunity, ' he thought. Jonathan was already crushing on Alice. Indeed, she was beautiful and available too.

After the meal, Jonathan and Thompson stood by the door and discussed in low tones. Alice left them there and went home. She wasn't feeling well and she needed to rest.

Thompson brought out a cigarette and lit it. He watched as Alice boarded a taxi and it immediately drove off. Then, he offered a cigarette to Jonathan. The other man accepted it and lit it immediately.

"What do you think, Mr. Jonathan? Alice is not bad, is she?"

Thompson asked as he looked in the direction which the taxi had driven towards. But there was no sign of the taxi now. In spite of this, Thompson still missed Alice. He didn't want her to leave early.

Hearing that question, Jonathan's face lit up. He was smiling from ear to ear.

"I finally know why Jacob doesn't like Alice. Just with the few hours we spent together just now, I can tell exactly why," Jonathan said with a serious look. His smile had faded a little. Now, he was different from the jovial person he was while they ate.

Thompson watched him in a daze. He really admired Jonathan. Now, he knew that Jonathan wasn't as simple-minded as he had thought. Jonathan was basking in the aura of influence and intelligence. 'Why didn't I have a good ally like him back then? Assuming I had connived with him earlier, perhaps Sara would be mine now. And I wouldn't have to face so many troubles in my business because of that stupid man called Jacob!' Thompson pondered.

"Oh, I see. Why do you think Jacob dislikes her?" Thompson squinted his eyes slightly. The sun was shining brightly. And it seemed to be affecting him.

Thompson used his hand to cover his eyes. But the sun rays still leaked through the space in between his fingers. And it fell on his face slightly. At that instance, the scene looked strange.

When the sunlight hit his face, his skin burned a little. This made Thompson a little uncomfortable. Many people in the world today could be likened to sunlight. Although the sun looked beautiful and compelling, it was dangerous. The same goes for human beings.

"The reason is that they are not the same kind of people. Alice and we are of the same kind. I am sure of that." Jonathan's words were brief and straight to the point. He looked experienced. At that moment, he was acting as if he could see through Alice more than anyone else.

Thompson looked at him with wide eyes. Indeed, Jonathan was very different from what he had imagined. And he couldn't deny that the man was amazing!

As he thought of this, Thompson took a big drag from his cigarette. Then, he puffed out a huge ball of smoke into the air. It disappeared quickly in front of him. Due to the sun, the smoke ring almost had nowhere to hide.

Jonathan grinned. He was obviously pleased with the plan they had come up with. "From now on, this is our world. We are major players in this game. I wish us a pleasant cooperation. Our common goal shall be achieved!"

Jonathan stretched out his hand in front of him. Smiling, Thompson immediately took the hand and held it tightly.
