Need You Now novel Chapter 137

The news of Jacob's smuggling soon spread in A city. The man once standing at the highest level in the financial circle now suddenly fell heavily. The image he had established in the company he had been running over the years had been quickly overturned in this short period of time.

Those who borrowed money for Jacob because of Abby were all remorseful and regretful. Since Jack was thrown into prison and Jacob was arrested, the JA Group almost stopped running since it had no leader. Being as a woman, Abby had no idea what to do.

As for the smuggling case of Jacob, it also involved the Tan family's business in S City, and Wilson was taken to the local police station for investigation. Even if Abby needed help, she didn't know whom to turn to for help.

Outside the detention house, Heidy was sitting in the car coldly, watching Jacob being besieged by the media. Seeing that him had been heavily criticized, the joy of revenge filled her eyes. "Boss, are we going with them?" Warren looked at Heidy and asked.

Squinting her eyes, she answered calmly, "No, Jacob is in a total mess. He had never imagined that he would be reduced to such an embarrassing situation."

Warren nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, indeed, how powerful Jacob used to be, but now... But he deserved it. I heard that, because of the smuggling, Jacob may be sentenced to ten years in prison."

With her eyes squinting slightly, Heidy stared out of the window, smiled and said, "I don't think Hearst will let off him easily. Jacob will not only be imprisoned for ten years." She remembered that Hearst had said that Jacob had something to do with his mother's death. But she didn't know the details.

According to what Hearst had said, there was no way for Jacob to just take a little punishment.

In the Xu family's villa, Abby looked at Jacob anxiously and asked, "What should we do to, Jacob? My father is very angry now and he won't help at all. I've begged Hearst, but he didn't respond. Now you are on bail for two days, and you are going to be sentenced the day after tomorrow. If you are held in jail, the company will be really ruined."

Her words annoyed Jacob. He said sullenly to her, "Damn it, why didn't your father help me with the emergency?"

"I just got a call from father, and dad seemed to have shifted all the blame on you. So you should be held accountable," said Abby in a trembling voice.

Jacob thumped the table with his fist, and his face was full of anger. "Damn it! I shouldn't have set the base in A city," said Jacob, annoyed. But now, he had no chance to redeem the situation.

"I didn't expect my father to be so heartless," Abby sobbed. "Jacob, what should I do if you are sent to prison?"

Before she finished, Jacob quickly said, "I can't be in jail, or when I come out ten years later, everything has already changed. Abby, please think of another way to help me out."

Upon hearing this, Abby said with tears in her eyes, "I'm just a woman. Jacob, you'd better ask those officers for help. Didn't you always bribe them before?"

"They are willing to do anything for money. If we didn't give them anything, why would they get involved in such mess?" said Jacob indignantly.

At this moment, a servant came to Jacob and said in a cold voice, "Sir, why don't you run away before your crime is settled. I've read a lot of news about the criminals. Many of them can start over once they leave. If you are in prison, the Xu family will be really destroyed."

Thinking of the company situation, Abby nodded and said, "Yes, you can take the opportunity to leave. You can hide for a while, and then start your business again. It's better than put you in prison."

Jacob built a business of his own and it was going to be destroyed. Thinking of this, Jacob said, "Yes, I can leave here. I can't just stay in prison. Abby, please help me pack my things."

Abby was reluctant him to leave, but she nodded her head and hurried upstairs to pack up her things. At night, Jacob left home.

The next day, the news of Jacob's escaping spread quickly. The police failed to find Jacob in the Xu family, and began to arrest him throughout the city. Soon, Jacob became an escaped prisoner, and the police were sending people to search for him. The Xu family was also controlled by the police for helping Jacob run away. For a time, the Xu family became the hot topic in A city.

In the corridor of the hospital, Heidy and Hearst were walking side by side. As the breeze blew over their faces, both of them kept silent. "It must be you who arranged Jacob to run away, right?"

With one of his hands in his pocket, he stared ahead, and then said with a smile, "Yes, I arranged it. Although it was a good punishment for him to be put in jail, it was too light. I will help him experience more before he is sent to prison."

"By then, he will be severely punished. I won't let him get out of prison alive! " Heidy smiled and said, "It seems that you hate him very much."

On the other hand, Hearst didn't say anything, just looking ahead quietly. Arriving at the building where the Department of gynaecology and obstetrics was located, Heidy went to have a physical examination and asked Hearst to accompany her. When the doctor was attached to her belly with the instrument, some noises were heard.

Seeing this, Hearst frowned and asked worriedly, "What happened?"
