Chapter 1787
Jacob was cradling the little girl with one arm while using the other to pull out his phone, sending a video to himself.
In the dimly lit bar, a group of people sat together, drinking and chatting.
"You guys know about the Erica stuff, right?" A man, his arm around the waist of the woman next to him, laughed teasingly.
"Who in the world doesn't know about it? Shawn, didn't you just come back from abroad? Did Erica really just ditch her feelings for Jacob and run off to marry someone else?"
The camera wobbled for a moment, the picture blurring.
Then Shawn's face, shrouded in smoke, gradually became clear.
Shawn had a look of disdain on his face, sneering, "You guys believe everything you read online? I've known Erica for years, how could I not see her true colors? She's nothing but a gold-digger!"
Shawn stared at the video on his phone, his face going pale.
“Jacob... I..."
Rosalynn was already annoyed, even without seeing the video, just hearing the voice was enough.
"Why do you despise her so much?" Jacob asked Shawn, word by word.
Shawn's face turned even paler, blurting out, "It's because she strung you along for years then turned around and married someone else without considering your feelings, that's why I said that!"
"Is that really the case?" Jacob's tone cooled.
Shawn started breathing heavily.
Shawn, feeling guilty, slammed his hand on the table and stood up, "Jacob, we're friends. Are you really going to do this to me?"
"Don't do this!" Shawn's wife quickly tried to calm him down.
The room fell into silence.
"What are you two up to?" Rosalynn leaned back in her chair, her gaze shifting between the two men, one cold, the other agitated.
"Right!" Shawn suddenly slammed the table, startling Rosalynn, "I used to have a crush on Erica, but after I saw her true colors, I lost interest. And my wife looks nothing like her!!"
As he spoke, Shawn paced nervously, scratching his head, "Jacob, you don't think I've been holding a grudge against Erica because I still have feelings for her, do you?"
“After her photos with that rich businessman started circulating online, we broke up.’ Jacob looked at Shawn, "Have you forgotten about the candlelit dinner and the boat full of roses you arranged for her? Did you forget about what you confess to her?
Rosalynn was in shock.
Shawn froze.
"Did Erica tell you this? She told you?!"
