Sweet Sorrow novel Chapter 21

The next day, before dawn, Jacob was awakened by a phone call from his father. He changed his clothes and left in a hurry.

His father David Gu's one right-hand man who was addicted to gambling, had owed a great deal of debts. And he was forced to pay off his gambling debts. What's more, he also leaked many of the Gu family's business secrets and economic trends, which brought a lot of losses to the Gu family. However, David was not a mediocre person and he soon found something wrong, so he asked people to take back the man who was about to escape by ship.

When Jacob arrived, the man whose hands were tied behind his back was kneeling in front of David's mahogany desk, apologizing.

"You've been with me for so many years. You should know that the people I hate most in my life are those who betray me."

The bodyguard around David stepped forward and removed his arms.

"Ahhh!"

His scream echoed in the large study, which made Jacob frown.

"You just got up?" There was no sign of anger on David's face, instead, he looked at Jacob casually.

Jacob knew his father well. The man kneeling on the floor would have a bad ending.

But what he didn't understand was why his father suddenly asked him to come over?

This kind of thing had happened before, but David, who was a strong man, had never let Jacob see such a bloody scene.

"Yes." Jacob walked over and stood beside David.

"Did you go for a drink last night?" David sniffed and asked again.

However, Jacob didn't show his surprise on his face. Instead, he nodded and said naturally, "Frank invited me, I've been drinking several glasses of wine."

"Although you are still young, you should pay attention to your health."

"Yes."

As Jacob was listening to his father's advice, he glanced at the man kneeling on the ground. The man was so painful that his throat became hoarse. His face was deathly pale, and cold sweat kept falling down.

David also saw that and he winked at the bodyguard.

The bodyguard walked over and stepped on the man's ankle. With a slight crack, the man screamed again.

"I was wrong, Mr. David. I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance. I will take the money back and make up for this mistake. Please, please, Mr. David."

The man began to kowtow madly on the ground, with his blood splashing on the marble floor.

"Do you think what I care about is the money?" The corners of David's eyes were full of disgust when he spoke.

The man who kowtowed to David suddenly stopped, looking at him in despair.

"How about you tell me what will happen to the person who betrayed me?" David reached out his body towards him, as if he was really asking.

The man on the ground began to tremble, and his shivering lips moved word by word out.

"Is... Worse... Than... Death."

David nodded with a smile. Then he turned to Jacob and asked as if he had gotten an advice, "what do you think we should do?"

Jacob was stunned by his father's question. He gave his father a deep look and knew that David wasn't really asking him.

"Young master, please let me go. As long as you let me go, I will do anything you ask me to do." The men on their knees made a kowtow to Jacob in a distorted posture, and their bodies were already shaking like a sieve.

Jacob looked at him indifferently. There was no sympathy or blame on his face. A moment later, he said in a deep voice.
