The door of the study was closed. Arya glanced at it and then looked away.
Now she was almost sure what Jacob was talking about.
All she could do now was to wait patiently.
In the study, Xavier sat in front of the desk. He seemed to have the urge to smoke but see no cigarette on the table. Jacob, who was sensible, quickly took out the cigarette and lit one for him.
Xavier took a deep pull on it and said, "Go ahead."
"According to my investigation, it was a few punks under Eli who received tasks behind his back..."
"Who's the employer?" Xavier emphasized this time.
Obviously, this was true.
It was unexpected.
Did they dare to do something to his woman?
Jacob lowered his head.
"Say it!"
Xavier was really annoyed.
"It's Mrs. Harrison. She may have known your relationship with Arya, so... That's why she made this decision."
Xavier's face darkened.
It was not cold, but Jacob shivered.
He lowered his head and held his breath, afraid of offending the man in front of him.
After a long time, Xavier suppressed his anger and said, "Arrange a meeting with Eli for me."
"Yes, well... Arya is also a victim. If you're going to abandon her, you might as well give her more compensation..."
"What are you talking about?" Xavier interrupted him.
What did he mean she was the victim?
Suddenly, Arya's words crossed Xavier's mind. "If they succeed, will you still want me?"
Xavier laughed out loud, his eyes cold and sinister. "Good for her. I thought Marshal was the only idiot in Harrison Family."
When he heard Jacob's words, he had the urge to tear Estella apart.
He even wanted to immediately cancel his engagement with Harriet and never see them again.
It was disgusting.
Jacob swallowed, not daring to utter a sound.
For a long time, Xavier could not calm down. His chest heaved rapidly in anger.
His face grew darker. It was terrifying. "Tell Eli, none of the people that day could escape!"
"Yes, I'll go right away." Jacob quickly left the study. He didn't want to stay here for a moment. It was too depressing.
He was afraid that Xavier would vent his anger on him.
In the dining room, Arya had already prepared breakfast. When she saw Jacob come out, she pretended not to know anything and said with a faint smile, "Have you eaten yet? Let's eat together."
Jacob looked up at Arya and felt a little unbearable.
A beautiful woman was ruined.
The thought of that made him angry.
Estella was too vicious.
He should have spoken ill of Harriet in front of his boss and ruined the marriage.
With such a vicious family, Harriet was no better. Such a person was not worthy to marry into the Jones Family.
Looking at Jacob in a daze, Arya called, "Jacob?"
"Oh, I've already eaten. I have something else to do. Excuse me."
Jacob returned to his senses and replied.
Arya didn't force him and wanted to see him off.
How could Jacob accept that?
"No need, thanks..." he said.
"It's okay. I'll see you off."
Jacob glanced at her and did not refuse again. When he reached the door, he said, "Go back please."
