Chapter 40 It's all over
Hearing this, Jacob walked to the old man and said, "I'm here."
Joseph raised his hand to signal Jacob to come near and told something to him.
In the doctor's office.
The doctor in a white coat said gravely, "Miss Sarah, your grandfather's organ failure has reached the extreme. I responsibly tell you that it's better to let the old man leave comfortably than to toss about like this." Suddenly, Sarah's face turned pale, and she couldn't stop stumbling while sitting.
There was a knock at the door.
The door was pushed open. Aunt's eyes were red and she was silent.
Sarah panicked.
"Mr. Joseph has gone."
After that, Sarah's mind paused for a moment.
"Aunt, what are you talking about?"
Aunt wiped away her tears. "Your grandfather just died."
In the huge ward, the bony old man had no breath and was lying peacefully on the white bed.
Sarah was in a trance for a long time before she realized that his grandfather had died.
In this world, there was a less fetter of blood for her.
In the Jones family's old house.
Today is Joseph's birthday. There were many people around the dining table. But one seat at the front of the side was not occupied.
"Mr. Old Jones, Mr. Jacob hasn't come back yet." The housekeeper came in from the door and reported respectfully.
Hearing this, the old man's expression became even colder, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.
Mrs. Jones, who was beside him, noticed the old man's anger and spoke first. "Dad, I'll call Jacob."
The old man didn't say anything, as if he acquiesced.
The phone number was dialed, but nobody answered.
"Jacob, what are you doing? Why don't you answer the phone?" Mrs. Jones was a little anxious.
Joseph lifted his lips and smiled, "My brother was busy falling in love in Raleigh. He had no time for you."
"What?" The old man glared at Joseph angrily, wanting to explore the truth of his words.
"How dare I lie to Grandpa? I'm afraid he's too busy to care about his work."
"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Jones glared at Joseph angrily.
"Mom, my brother liked Sarah of Davis Family. It was on the news a few days ago."
Joseph confided word by word for fear that everyone would not hear him.
To further prove the fact, the video of Sarah being intercepted and interviewed by the media last time was also shown to the two people.
The video just stopped at the scene of Jacob's stopping the media reporters for Sarah.
"He was messing around!" The old man patted the table, and his voice was angry and cold.
"Dad, I'll let someone investigate this. Let's have dinner first."
Mrs. Jones changed the topic in a few words, and the atmosphere was no longer cold.
The meal was drawing to a close.
The housekeeper held two gift boxes and said, "Sir, madam, I have just received two gifts for Mr. Joseph from the mailbox outside. One was from Ashley, and the other was from Mr. Jacob." "Just put it here," said the old man lightly.
His eyes fell on two exquisite and high-end gift boxes, and he suddenly asked, "Who is this Ashley?"
On the other side, Sarah finished her grandfather's funeral in the hospital, and the three returned to the quadrangle.
The scene in front of the door stunned them, and the door lock was pried open.
"It must be Megan." Sarah bit her teeth, full of hatred.
"She's a real troublemaker!" Aunt Kayla said angrily.
The house was robbed. In the master bedroom, the cabinets have been broken everywhere.
"She smashed her father's home, and desperately wanted only equity, regardless of their affection. I have never seen such an inhumane daughter."
Suddenly, Aunt seemed to think of something. She hurried to the pines, looked around, and dug with her hands for a long time.

"Aunt, what are you doing?"
A moment later, Aunt dug out a small iron box.
"Fortunately, they didn't find this. Here, give you."
"Aunt, what is this?" Sarah was stunned for a moment.
"Your grandfather told me earlier that If he died, let me give it to you. You should take it away."
Sarah took the iron box and opened it. Inside, there was the house property certificate of the quadrangle, a share right, and a cloth bag.
Her eyes turned red and she sobbed, "Aunt, thank you. I'll keep them."
While talking, she took out the key in the box and put a copy in Aunt's hand.
"Here is the key. I won't sell this house. If you want to come, you can come back at any time."
At this time, in the living room, Jacob made a turn in each bedroom and said: "Most of the goods were seriously damaged. Shall we call the police?" Sarah was silent. "No, I have my plan."
"I've packed everything inside," Jacob said and went out sideways.
Aunt looked in the direction of Jacob's disappearance and said with emotion: "Miss Sarah, Jacob was very concerned about you."
Sarah was stunned for a moment and turned to look at the man at the gate. "He is very responsible."
"It's not easy to meet someone so kind to you." Aunt patted her hand in earnest and stopped talking. They worked until the evening to clean up the mess. The room was restored to its former appearance, and Aunt simply packed her bags.
"Aunt, what are your plans?"
Although they only got along for one day, Sarah regarded her as an elder.
"Go back to my son's house, and our little grandson should grow a lot taller."
Sarah hugged Aunt reluctantly. "Aunt, thank you for taking care of my grandfather. If you can need my help in the future, please call me."
Aunt nodded softly, and the car she called had stopped at the gate of the courtyard.
"Who called the taxi?"
"I'll come!"
She took her luggage and walked out the door.
"Be careful on the way."
Sarah and Jacob watched the taxi leave slowly.
After she left, Jacob looked down at Sarah and said, "Let's go too."
Not far away, a noble white Benz stopped quietly in the corner.
"Madam, this is her profile." The frontman handed out the document and whispered.
"She is the eldest lady of the Davis family, and she has a younger sister, Ashley." "Madam, they seem to be going to drive away. Do you want to chase them?" "No, let them go."
The woman leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and said nothing more.
Jacob and Sarah drove on the highway, but the sky gradually turned dark and there were even dark clouds.
Through the rearview mirror, Jacob looked at the tired woman in the back row.
"If you're tired, have a snap."
Sarah answered and closed her eyes.
Driving at a constant speed, Jacob saw a service area sign five kilometers ahead.
Jacob's eyes flashed.
Ten minutes later.
Sarah could feel the car stop.
She opened her eyes and said, "Where is this?"
