Chapter Chapter230 Reassure Her

“Hello?”

The hoarse voice of Rita came through the phone, and she sounded like she just woke up.

Jacob jolted.

Well… Kaleb, who had been protecting her secretly, had said she was shopping, right?

Buy why did she sound she had fallen asleep?

“Stay still girl. You just lied on my arm, and it is numb now. It hurt when you move around.”

Jacob’s mind wandered, then the moans of Nathan came out from the speaker.

Jacob was shocked.

His arm was numb?

She and Nathan…

Damn, what happened between them?

Why did he feel she had two-timed Liam?

So she was having an affair with Nathan?

Thinking of Liam, Jacob peeped at Liam sitting across him.

Then he was frightened by his angry face.

His eyes glinted with jealousy, and he looked like he wanted to completely destroy this city.



Unnerved, Jacob swallowed hard when he sensed Liam’s rage.

He should not have called Rita just now!!

What, what should he do?

When Jacob was in a state of panic, Rita spoke again.

“Sorry.”

But she was speaking to Nathan instead of Jacob.

She had been too sleepy, so she fell asleep in the taxi.

Then she had fallen into slumber and her head fell on Nathan’s shoulder, but she was unaware of that.

Though it was a bit awkward, she did not take it to the heart but gave a smile.

Then she moved slightly to another side, with her pink lips parted again. “Jacob?”

“Yeah…” thank God you can think of me.

Jacob answered. Under the stare of Liam, he finally asked her the question that Liam was concerning.
“Where are you? Is it convenient for you to talk? I, I’ve heard someone around you?” A man!

Rita felt something went wrong when she heard Jacob said that carefully.

“Nothing, it’ OK. What’s the matter?”

“Didn’t you ask me to remind you secretly when Emma and Liam have contact?”

Asked by Rita, Jacob was a little confused at first, then he brought up Emma quickly.



Hearing that, Rita had a look at her screen, which showed it was eleven p.m. now.

“Now?”

“Yeah.”

“It’s eleven now. What kind of emergency it is that she has to find Liam?”

“Not an emergency. She said she was afraid that the report of the overseas task was not detailed
enough, so she needed to report to Liam in private.”

Jacob was quite skilled at embellishing a story.

It was Liam who called Emma to come, but what Jacob had said implied that Emma was coming to
Liam intentionally.

With some unknown reason.

Then who wouldn’t suspect that Emma was coming to Liam for something else?

Besides, in Rita’s back life, Emma had been trying every trick in the book to sleep with Liam.

So Rita was not sleepy at all after she heard that.

“They are staying together now? Without others?”

Liam’s dark face started to brightened when he found she got anxious through her voice.

Quiet, Liam still let Jacob continue to improvise.

Jacob glanced at Liam who was still sitting at his seat, not showing any emotions. He could not know
what Liam was thinking.



So he had to describe their “secret meeting” to Rita by himself.

“No.”

“They must be thirsty after talking, go serve them a cup of tea.”

“That’s all?” Jacob blinked in a puzzlement.

“Find an excuse to stay there and wait for me to come!”

“You…” will come?

Jacob had not finished his question, but Rita had hung up the phone, only leaving him with the beep of
busy line.

But the beep had pleased the distant man at the seat.

The set expression in his face turned into a smile.

Liam had smiled?

The one who wanted to destroy the whole world just now was laughing?

Jacob covered his head with astonishment.

He began to brighten just because Rita hurried to come home?

Liam was easy to feel jealous, but he could also brighten quickly. Wasn’t he too easy to please?

Alas!

Never mind, he should not hope for Liam’s change – all he cared for was his wife anyway!



“Mr. Wilson, Emma has come.” Guarding the door, Jonathan walked in and spoke to Liam.

That evil woman had come?

Jacob straightened, and he was as tense as he was dealing with a horrible enemy.

“Wait.”

Sitting in his exquisite chair, Liam said mildly.

He did not say out loud, but it was still threatening.

Jonathan nodded and walked out quietly.

Though Jonathan had been in favor, he still could not take Emma to the hall directly without Liam’s
permission.

Others could not enter and leave the hall casually. It was a rule.

No one would dare to break the rule.

Unless… he wanted to die.

“Liam, she is too quick. Are we supposed to ask her in instead of keeping her waiting?” Jacob
approached and whispered.

Liam nodded, “Yeah.”

“Then… why don’t you pretend to ask her something about the overseas matter?”

Though it was a show, Liam should still put on an act.



If Emma had known she was used as a catalyst to develop their relationship, she must explode even
she did not show it.

Emma was quite influential among the Wilsons.

Considering that Grandpa Jim just died and a lot of people were watching Liam, he’d better not fall out
with Emma for now.

Liam knew what Jacob was thinking.

But!

“No need.”

He also knew Emma had an affection towards him, and he had never given any hope to her.

Now he still treated her in the same way.

He had to stabilize the Wilson family, but he did not need to take advantage of her affection and
feelings to achieve that.

He disdained to do that, and he would never do that.

He must be faithful to him and Rita.

He would never hurt Rita, and he would not make her feel uneasy.

Tonight, he asked Emma to come partly because he wanted Rita to feel jealous, but mostly because…

He wanted to reject Emma in front of Rita, to reassure her.

“But…”



“Ask her to put on the clothes and take her to the backyard.”

Liam’s dark eyes rested on the dull red dress.

At his words, Jacob also looked at the clothes. Then he was stunned seeing the dress.

A dress?

Liam asked Emma to wear a dress?

Would such a tough girl wear that?

“Liam, do you think she’s willing to wear a dress?” Would she look good in this dress?

Liam raised his eyebrow, “If she’s willing to put on that, why do I need you to come to her?”

Jacob asked, “Liam, are you saying you want me to watch her wearing this dress? No, Liam, I’m a
dude.”

“I’m not blind. I can tell who are women and who are men.”

“Well, that is not what I meant. I mean, as a man, I shouldn’t watch her change her clothes, right?”

Liam did not answer, but he threw the dress at Jacob directly.

Jacob was forced to take the dress, with his lips twitching.

Well…

Why did he feel – tonight was not the night that Rita got over her trouble and Liam felt insanely jealous;
it was the night for him to be in the trouble?
