Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 449

While standing in front of Jacob, Jonathan was back for being a coward in an instant. Jacob was also shocked that the man in front of him had changed.

Way back then, Jonathan used to be naughty and a playboy. But now, he had learned how to restrain himself a lot.

Jacob blinked his long and narrow eyes. This was the very first time he had looked at Jonathan seriously. Even Jonathan was also shocked by the sudden change in himself.

"The Shi Group is already now in your hands. I don't have anything to do with the company," Jacob said with a firm voice. He crossed his legs as he sat down, while Sara just sat beside him and didn't say anything.

Alice clasped her hands together tightly and looked around. Just to find out that most of the people were constantly glancing at the four of them.

Jonathan shook his head and looked at the man in front of him. "Shame on you, Jacob. Do you have any idea how important the Shi Group to me? Have you forgotten? It is where I started and so were you. Your father did his best and worked so hard just to support the Shi Group. Is that your way of granting your father's last wish?"

The things that Jonathan wanted to say were already engraved in his heart. At this point, he just couldn't make himself relaxed.

"It doesn't matter to me anymore. After all, it's just all about business. Also, I'm no longer in charge of the company. As for what you said earlier, I know that my father had put his full effort and worked hard for it. But we all know that it belongs to you now. Including the company's problem."

Jacob focused his gaze on Jonathan. 'No one had ever talked about this until now.

But some people wanted to push my limit and tried to bring me to the edge. This wouldn't make me calm or even think enough for the sake of the others.' Jacob also thought about it for a long time, wondering if he should do it or not.

He was thinking if he should finally break with the Shi Group. However, Jacob decided that he would just compromise. Life was too complicated that we couldn't make things perfect.

Like for example, Jacob was looking at Jonathan who was sitting across from him, yet he couldn't even feel a little sympathy for the man. However, there were circumstances for him to express some empathy. For a person like Jonathan? Jacob wouldn't dare to give him some mercy.

"Don't be unreasonable, Jacob. I suppose it's important for us to talk about this matter today. The Shi Group didn't do anything wrong to you. How could you lure my partners to your company? You can just find someone else if you badly want some partners. Don't you know that those people you chose to cooperate with are Shi Group's partners?"

Jonathan showed a fierce expression. But little did he know, his fierce look only seemed pathetic to the people around them. No one would attempt to take the side of a loser.

Alice grimaced a little after she heard what Jonathan had said. She didn't want to be unfair but even someone who didn't have any idea about their conversation would think that he was the one who was making a problem out of nothing.

Business is not a game that you could simply play with. No one would mind whether it was sensible to do or not. Besides, it was certainly unacceptable to blame Jacob for the problem of the Shi Group.

"I don't think you fully understand it, Mr. Jonathan. I never told them to quit their alliance with your company. Do you think that an outsider like me, could stop their partnership with you?"

After Jacob spoke, he stood up and looked at Jonathan silently. There was a dark expression on Jonathan's face, while Alice's expression remained blank.

She taught herself that she should remain expressionless whatever the outcome from Jacob would be. But now, she couldn't help but show her poker face to Jonathan.

Jonathan formed a raw smile and shook his head. He clenched his fists and put them down after a while. After a few moments, Jacob left them without any hesitation.

Jonathan felt disappointed. 'Why have I always turned out as a loser whenever I face Jacob? Why does Jacob always have to put me in a crucial situation?'

He didn't acquire Jacob's intelligence, Jacob's indifference, and Jacob's behavior.

But who cares? Throughout the whole banquet occasion, no one even recognized him as the CEO of the Shi Group. But instead, they even gave Jacob a warm welcome and considered him as some talent.

The huge difference between their attitude had made Jonathan dejected. What made Jonathan even sadder was his inability to speak up for himself. Most of all, he had mentioned the company and Jacob's history. Yet, Jacob was still unmoved and seemed like he didn't care at all.

What happened to Jacob? Even Michael's name did not shake him at all. Was there anyone who could stop him from destroying the Shi Group?

Jonathan's mood turned sour. He just felt like the people around him were laughing at him. Just earlier, all the people's eyes were glued to them when the four of them sat here and talked.

Everyone who had attended the banquet knew their relationship. So the moment Jacob had left, the focus of the people was no longer on him.

Jonathan's expression turned dark and Alice knew it too well.
