Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 166

"Essie!" With a cunning smile, he welcomed her as if surprised. "I didn’t expect I’d see you here. Although, if you came here to talk about Hanson, you can leave. His wedding will be held next week. Until then, you’re not allowed to see him." He lit a cigar and glared at her with a fiendish look.

Unfazed, Essie let out a faint smile on her face. "You have misunderstood, Mr. Jobson. Believe it or not, I’m here to help you save Bella."

Hearing what she said, he laughed faintly and scoffed. "Ha! Just you?" Jobson shook his head, trying to erase the sneer on his face.

Essie looked at him and suddenly smiled, as though she was mocking him in return. Her voice emanated with confidence and she said, "Do you really think you can fight against the Emperor Group by marrying Hanson to the daughter of the Yang family? As far as I know, Mr. Yang is quite crafty and cunning. Think about it—if the stocks of the Yang Group suddenly plummeted, and he realized that it was because of the shady business he had done, what do you think he would do? What’s worse, if he was caught on the hands of others, do you think he’ll still be willing to cooperate in this to help you? I’m afraid that he would even go against you just to save himself."

Jobson twisted his lips, his eyes looked dim. "Don’t talk nonsense here. You’re just a girl. What do you even know about business?"

Essie shrugged. She knew she probably was talking nonsense, but she couldn’t allow him to see right through her bluff. However, in the business world, everyone would most likely be involved, everyone would have their own calculations, and no one could be innocent. She had to take a chance. Last year, something was wrong with the buildings developed by the Yang Group. The news had just gotten out when it was suppressed. There had been no follow-up reports after that. It was obvious that the Yang Group was behind the closed doors.

Judging by the look on Jobson’s face, she knew that she had hit the nail on the head.

"Mr. Jobson, I may be insignificant, and I don’t know much about business. However, my husband knows it very well. You probably know him as the president of the Emperor Group."

"What did you say?" Jobson was shocked. He dropped his cigar on the ground and watched it fall in slow motion. The scorched tip touched the carpet and started to burn. Essie gracefully grabbed the cup of tea on his table and poured it into the fire to put it out.

Like nothing happened, Essie continued, "To tell you the truth, my husband has no interest in Bella at all. He bought out Bella just because he wanted me to come home. Hanson found out about this, so he wanted to take me away in a rush."

She spoke lightly, but Jobson was so furious that he almost passed out. For a long time, Bella had been in crisis all because of the love triangle his son was in. "That bastard!"

Essie glanced at him and said, "It is not Hanson's fault. It is your fault. He gave up on me when he wanted to help you to save Bella. You are the one who disheartened him. You don’t trust him, and your wife and daughters always try to subdue him that he finds himself unable to carry out his plans to make Bella better. Your company has been staggering and losing money for two consecutive years. If it doesn’t improve, even with the help of Emperor Group, Bella would be swallowed up by other opponents sooner or later."
