Chapter 1099: Chapter 1099: A Dog-Eat-Dog Situation, A Mouthful of Fur Chapter 1099: Chapter 1099: A Dog-Eat-Dog Situation, A Mouthful of Fur In Country W, all was well.
But in Linton City, the Clark Family was in turmoil. Jacob Clark couldnāt believe what he was seeing on the computer screen; his mind went blank.
āImpossible, how could this beā¦ā
āI must have seen it wrong. It must be a mistake!ā
His hands trembled as he grasped the mouse, shaking it continuously.
His eyes, bulging and bloodshot, were fixed on the computer screen as if he could stare a hole through it.
Perhaps because his hands were shaking too violently, the mouse just moved erratically and wouldnāt respond properly.
āImpossible⦠impossibleā¦ā
As he continued to mutter incessantly, the door to the study opened from the outside. Juliet Jordan came in holding a cup of coffee and walked towards him, āIāve made you a cup of coffee; donāt overwork yourself.ā
āAbsolutely impossibleā¦ā Jacob Clark spoke as if he hadnāt heard her, still saying things like impossible.
Juliet Jordan noticed his abnormal complexion, paused, set down the coffee, and walked behind him.
When she saw the declining lines of stock prices displayed on the computer screen, her head buzzed!
How could this be?
Didnāt Jacob say just yesterday that this stock would rise? To turn things around, they had invested all their money and even borrowed hundreds of thousands from her Brother!
āImpossible⦠How could it become like thisā¦ā Jacob hadnāt noticed her, or rather, all his attention was on the stocks. The shock was too great; he didnāt even realize Juliet Jordan had entered.
After a moment of buzzing in her head, Juliet Jordan briefly regained her composure and clung to a thread of hope, āJacob, this isnāt the stock you talked about, right? We didnāt buy this stock, did we?ā
Jacob Clark, as though his beautiful dream was suddenly shattered, his face contorted violently as he spun around, āWe did!ā
He suddenly stood up, as if finding an outlet for his rage, and, unable to contain his anger, slapped Juliet Jordan across the face, āItās all your fault! What sins did I commit in my last life to marry you! If I had known, I should haveā¦ā
Juliet Jordan was caught off guard by the slap, staggering, and instinctively covered her face. Upon hearing Jacobās cutting words, she couldnāt maintain the demeanor expected of a lady; like a shrew, she yelled back at him, āIf you knew, you would have chosen Matheo Lewis, right?!ā
Juliet snatched his words, striking Jacob Clark squarely!
She let out a cold laugh, mocking him, āStop dreaming! Matheo Lewis is already dead! You know very well what youāve done!ā
āAlso, even if Matheo hadnāt died, I was the one you married! What do you think you are, Jacob Clark? Ha! You think too highly of yourself! Youāre just someone who would do anything for money! Thatās why youāll never give me up to choose Matheo.ā
āNo, Iām wrong. You had no choice. I was thinking about divorcing you, but you deceived me and shamelessly dragged me into doing things I shouldnāt have, otherwise, I would have divorced you long ago! Matheo wouldnāt have chosen you either. When she found out you had a Wife, she made it clear to you; she didnāt plan to be with you, only wanting to quietly have her own child.ā
Everything was a lie from Jacob Clark to her.
He deceived her into thinking Matheo was a mistress who seduced him and then cunningly got pregnant, using the child to threaten him into divorce.
