Chapter 19 Life Was Worse Than Death
The sky was turning bright in the east before he was aware of it. A glimmer of light streaked through the dark sky, and the dawn
was breaking outside the window. Jacob was extremely depressed.
He didn't know why he did this. She was just an ex-wife of an agreement. Why was he so angry?
It was as if a woman had cooked a table of dishes at home and waited for her husband to come back, but he didn't return home
at night at last. Jacob felt that his heart was entangled. He didn't know that he was sitting on the bed like a dissatisfied woman at
the moment.
He felt as if his heart had been hollowed out.
The result of the sleepless night was that his eyes were bloodshot. Even so, he could do nothing to Sara.
When he went to the company and saw Alice, he didn't even smile. The tiredness in his eyes was clearly seen by Alice. Alice
remained silent in the secretary's office. She couldn't disturb Jacob when he was in a bad mood, in case she said something
wrong.
After the eye contact with her, Jacob returned to the CEO's office. He was glad that Alice didn't ask him what had happened. He
was afraid that he couldn't control his emotions and said something to hurt her. Fortunately, Alice was reasonable and
considerate. She knew it without asking.
Thinking of Alice, Jacob's heart softened.
As expected, only puppy love was pure and real. The rests were just for fun. Jacob also had no idea.
But he couldn't help thinking of Sara. How could he be treated like this?
If Sara could feel what he was thinking. She might only reply that they were the same.
Jacob had a pot of cactus on the table. There was a beautiful flower before, and Jacob would feel happy every day when he saw
it. But today, several petals had withered. It was so ironic.
Depressed, Jacob read the documents revised by the employees and turned page by page.
Daniel felt wronged. He revised the draft and showed it to the manager several times. The manager had said that there was no
problem, but the CEO was furious when he read it. Yesterday, when he was scolded and returned to his office, his face was
gloomy, and there was a burst of seemingly but clearly visible ridicule around him.
He revised the document overnight. It took him a lot of efforts to work in the Shi Group. He couldn't lose his work because of
such document, which would make people laugh at him.
It had been two hours since the documents were handed in, but the CEO didn't say anything. In the past two hours, Daniel had
been trembling with fear, fearing that something would go wrong again.
Fortunately, the CEO didn't get angry or look for him.
It was already Monday morning when they came back from the resort.
After returning to the villa and getting changed, Sara went to work.
She was in a good mood these two days and almost forgot about her divorce.
It does work to relax these two days. No wonder someone said that people need a trip that they can leave as they wish.
Sara wore light makeup, poured powder on her face gently, and then took out a lipstick and applied it on her lips gently.
A delicate, extremely beautiful face with a clear outline appeared in the mirror.
After all, Sara was so beautiful that many would be fond of her.
After Bess sent Sara back to the villa, he drove directly to the Shi Group. He would like to meet Alice. In terms of scheming,
there was no doubt that Sara was in a disadvantage situation. After stopping the car, Bess took out her sunglasses and took out
a business card that she seldom used. It was convenient for her to go in and look for Alice immediately.
Bess walked to the front desk and took out her business card. The receptionist dared not neglect her and directly led her to
Alice]'s office.
When Bess appeared at the door of the office, Alice noticed the woman dressed casually with wheat skin and sunglasses.
Bess looked down at her and said in a contemptuous tone, "you must be Alice, Jacob's ex-girlfriend. "
Alice didn't know who she was, but she could tell that Bess's tone was not good.
"Who are you? Alice couldn't help but take a step back to make sure that she was within a safe distance.
Bess looked at the woman in front of her up and down. Her hair was exaggerated and her clothes were childish. Except for her
good-looking appearance, the other were in a mess. Was Jacob blind? How could he abandon Sara for her.
"You don't deserve to know who I am. I'm here to tell you that if you can't afford to offend someone, don't do that. Bess said
slowly with undisguised anger.
Alice understood what Bess meant. Without thinking, she blurted out, "was it Sara, that bitch asked you here? "
Bess's heart was filled with nameless anger. Who the hell was Alice? How dare she curse Sara directly?
Bess put on a fake smile and said, "it seems that your family education is not good. I need to teach you to be a new person. "
She didn't know how to beat people, but to smash things. Anyway, these things were worth some money. The purpose was to
intimidate Alice and vent the anger on her for Sara.
Bess had a clear logic. She rushed up and smashed the cup on the table. The assistant secretary screamed and ran to the
CEO's office.
The loud voice attracted a lot of people outside the door to watch. Bess slammed the door, and then the next moment. Bess
couldn't believe her eyes.
Alice pressed her hand on the broken glass on the ground, and the dazzling red blood flowed down from her palm. Accompanied
by Alice's shattering scream, Bess was completely dumbfounded.
Lying on the ground, Alice was still twitching, looking very painful.
Everyone outside had heard Alice's scream, but they didn't know what had happened inside. Jacob ran to the secretary's office
as soon as he got to know from his assistant that someone was looking for Alice with a fierce look.
On their way, he heard Alice was screaming. Jacob frowned. He had a bad feeling. He opened the door and saw Alice lying on
the ground, bleeding. The office was in a mess.
He didn't even have time to look at Bess who was standing beside him, hugged Alice up and roared to Bess.
"What did you do to her? ""
Looking at Jacob's bloodshot eyes, Bess was speechless. She lost her courage.
She whispered, "it's not me. "
Jacob also looked straight at Bess. His tone was unfriendly and even full of disgust. "If it's not you, did Alice press it by herself on
purpose?"
As Jacob's voice was also loud, Alice was groaning painfully again. Bess was stunned and didn't say anything. Afraid that Bess
would tell him the truth, Alice screamed beside him, "Jacob, my hand hurts."
With tenderness in his bloodshot eyes, Jacob said, "don't be afraid. I'll take you to the hospital first. "
With tears in her big eyes, Alice replied in a low voice, "okay."
No wonder Sara couldn't defeat this woman. Even Bess herself couldn't stand such a woman.
Jacob went out with Alice in his arms, and employees outside scattered back to their positions. Everyone could understand what
happened just now. Alice was hurt by Bess!
When he sent Alice to the hospital to clean her wound, she endured the pain all the way without making a sound. Such a woman
made Jacob's heart ache. On the one hand, he regretted that he didn't protect her well, and on the other hand, his hatred for
Sara increased.
'Since Sara is heartless, she shouldn't blame me for injustice." Jacob thought. He swore to himself that he would take revenge
on Sara and let her know that life was worse than death. He would make her regret.
