ire curled his lips and said quietly, “To maintain family harmony, I won’t be telling Mom, but you need to remember this and never repeat such behavior in the future!”
Jacob nodded vigorously, assuring, “Don’t worry, Dad will never do it again.”
Just as he finished his sentence, the cellphone on the table suddenly buzzed.
He nced down and was surprised to see that the caller was Zhang Ermao (Cade). “This is unexpected,” he muttered. “Zhang Ermao (Cade) has been avoiding me for so long. Why is he calling me today?”
Charlie Wade, also taken aback, noted that normally, Zhang Ermao (Cade) had left the antique street to assist Don Albert with his business and hadn’t contacted Jacob. What could be the reason for this call? <h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Despite his confusion, Jacob decided to answer the phone.
On the other end, Zhang Ermao (Cade) greeted him respectfully, “President Jacob, it’s me, Ermao. Do you still remember me?”
“Of course I remember!” Jacob replied, a bit gruffly. “We’ve done business together many times. I’ve called you over ten thousand times trying to reach you. Why are you only contacting me now?”
Zhang Ermao (Cade) quickly exined, “Actually, President Jacob, I’ve stopped dealing in antiques and am now working for Mr. Don Albert in Aurous Hill. You know Mr. Hong, right? He has a great rtionship with you!”
Jacob nodded, “Yes, I know him well. Just a couple of days ago, I had a meal in the diamond box at his Tianxiang Mansion.”
Then he added, “Alright, Zhang Ermao (Cade), enough with the formalities. Just tell me what you want.”<fnfa41> Checktest chapters at findnovel</fnfa41>
Zhang Ermao (Cade) responded with enthusiasm, “President Jacob, do you remember Zhou Liangyun from Ji Qingtang?”
Upon hearing Zhou Liangyun’s name, Charlie felt a jolt in his heart, while Jacob’s face flushed with embarrassment, as if he had just been pped.
Jacob immediately eximed, “Zhou Liangyun? How could I forget him! I stirred up trouble at Jiqingtang and he sent people after me, even pping me in the process. I will never forget that grudge! If the Moore Family hadn’t expelled him from Aurous Hill, I would have avenged myself that very day!”
Charlie couldn’t help but feel a sense of helplessness at his father-inw’s words.
Now that everything wasing to light, Charlie understood that the vase fell when Jacob was examining it at Jiqingtang. However, Jacob’s reaction at that moment had been quite reckless.
Instead of trying to resolve the situation after identally breaking a million-dor vase, Jacob’s instinct was to run away and leave Charlie behind as a backup. What was the point of holding a grudge over a p?
But Jacob had his own perspective. Being an older man, it was humiliating for him to be caught by a group of people on the street. When they brought him back, they were rough and punched him, which was particrly hard to swallow at his age.
