Chapter 47 The intent can't hide, the unintentional won't guess
As expected, Joshua did not resist the majesty of his grandfather after all and told him everything.
Jacob secretly blamed Joshua for being unreliable, and said respectfully, "Grandpa, I'm fine."
"I've inquired others about your injury. You've got ten stitches in your wound!"
Although his grandfather's tone was not pleasant, it was not difficult to feel that he was still concerned about Jacob.
"Grandpa, this minor injury is nothing, and the responsible party has been arrested. You don't need to worry too much."
His words implied that he did not intend to let him know this matter in depth.
But it sounded like his grandfather knew more than he guessed.
Mr. Old Jones said coldly, "I know everything about you happened in Jacob, even if Joshua didn't tell me. I advise you not to associate too often with some shady people." Davis family was as thoughtless as an ant in the eyes of Mr. Old Jones.
This project was also Jacob's choice of Davis Enterprise as a partner. To some extent, his grandfather couldn't influence most of Jacob's decisions.
Jacob frowned and responded patiently, "Grandpa, I have my own opinion."
"Well, it's time for me to take a lunch break. You can do it yourself. Come back as soon as the project in Raleigh is over."
After he hung up the phone, Jacob kept staring at the screen until it completely went black.
Did grandfather mention some shady people?
He called Joshua back, "Did you mention Sarah with my grandfather?"
Joshua almost jumped up from his chair. "How could it be? I told him you were injured. It's not specific. After all, I'm afraid he will think about it."
To prove his loyalty to his brother, he gave a full account of the phone call.
Jacob rubbed his swollen eyes and interrupted him, "OK, I know. You're back in Dover?"
"Of course. Shall I be the shining bulb between you and your loved one?"
Hearing this, Jacob's cold face eased a little and hung up the phone. The empty room seemed very cold, and he had more time to think.
If his grandfather knew Sarah, he must be told by someone.
Almost subconsciously, a person appeared in his mind - Joseph.
However, he can't point at him without evidence. If this thing made the relationship between the two brothers worse, it will not pay off. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He sent a text message to Brian, 'Go to check Joseph's recent trends.'
The other party quickly replied to the message and then sent a document.
Jacob opened the document, which contained the monitoring video of the day of the Mask Dance.
He had a habit of copying the surveillance video of the day at the end of each large banquet in case of an accident at the banquet, which required evidence.
Even in Raleigh, he still kept this habit.
After he hung up, Jacob suddenly realized that the wound ached faintly. He put down his mobile phone and closed his eyes to rest.
In the evening, Sarah informed Jacob that someone will come to see him in the evening.
To avoid unnecessary explanations, Sarah reminded, "I told visitors that this is my house. To send you to the hospital conveniently, I let you stay here temporarily. Do you remember?"
When several colleagues in their department learned that Jacob was discharged from the hospital, they kept clamoring to pay a visit to Jacob. But they were too shy so they asked Emily to contact Sarah. That's why there was a meeting tonight.

"The intent can't hide, the unintentional won't guess," Jacob said.
Sarah was confused and scolded, "Speak something understandable."
Jacob leaned against the bar and looked at Sarah's action of washing the cup. He patiently explained again.
"As long as the person wants to misunderstand, no matter what the fact it is, he will misunderstand. It is better to do what we should do. Besides, can't I show up here?"
It seemed that there was nothing wrong with this statement, but it seemed strange.
"Of course, I didn't mean that, but --"
"Ding --"
The horn sounded at the door.
Sarah put down dishes and chopsticks, "They are coming."
She ran out excitedly to welcome everyone.
Department colleagues looked at the villas and courtyards with an idyllic favor and expressed their admiration.
"We don't know that Miss Sarah can take care of the flowers and plants in a leisurely way."
"That is to say, thanks to Jacob, we could have a chance to visit President Sarah's loving house."
"The loving house belongs to a young couple, but this is the queen's palace."
"Well, don't be so garrulous. Go in and sit down. My bedroom was on the second floor."
Sarah beckoned everyone in. When she turned around, she found that Emily was walking slowly at the end.

Because Jacob was injured, the task of cooking can only be entrusted to a few female comrades in their department.
After they went in, they simply said hello to Jacob, and then several male colleagues sat together to watch TV and talk about topics between men.
Emily, together with several female colleagues, and Sarah were busy working in the kitchen for dinner.
"Miss Sarah, I find that you really can't cook!" The little girl with black glasses said carelessly.
Sarah smiled modestly, "I can give you a hand at most, but the rest depends on you!"
The slightly older female colleague smiled helplessly, and talked, "Is this Emily's first visit to Miss Sarah's house?"
"Ah, yes." Emily stood in front of the pool, carefully cleaning the vegetables in the basket.
"Anyway, Miss Sarah, does Jacob live in your house these days?"
They came a little closer to Sarah.
Sarah had been prepared for this kind of question and naturally replied, "Anyway, Jacob saved me in this accident. I should take good care of him to repay for saving my life." Several people nodded in agreement.
The little girl with glasses added: "Miss Sarah, we didn't expect that you would go to the construction site that day, and Emily told us this thing."
"Oh, I remember. I said this thing to Emily before, but I didn't expect to bring Emily when we went there suddenly that day."
Sarah then suddenly responded and asked, "By the way, Emily, did you help us find Miss Ashley to sign a commuter ticket that day?"
"Of course, Emily was too concerned about this, but the attendance sheet was signed by the manager of the Administration Department." One of the colleagues said.
Generally, when employees went out to the construction site for inspection, they should report to the leader in advance. At that time, Emily was confused about why Jacob and Sarah did not come to the company. Later, she responded and went to find Director Ashley according to the company's procedures.
Unexpectedly, Ashley was not there, so the department colleagues helped her to ask the manager of the Administration Department to sign the attendance sheet.
