Chapter 2516
Author: Lord Leaf
It was precisely because of this that Sheldon did not even dare to take a single step out of Australia until his father had spoken up although he was very worried about Sophie’s safety.

He did not even dare to call to question Lord Schulz about this matter. This was because he knew very well that he would suffer an even worse fate if he were to make the old man angry and frustrated.

Jaime was still young, and he had never really experienced much in his life. The biggest and most serious experience that he had ever encountered in his life was when he had been kidnapped back in Japan.

In truth, he had already panicked when he had gotten kidnapped the last time.

He had been frightened to death, and he could not calm himself down at all. He was not even half as calm as his sister, Sophie, was. So, the huge pressure and stress that Jaime bore at this time made him feel as though he could not breathe or catch his breath at all.

He desperately hoped for his father to come back so that he

    "Yes, yes, yes…"Kenny nodded in full agreement. "Actually, I knew from the start that you came to the association for fun. After all, with your family's importance, would you really stoop to getting paid peanuts?"Pausing, he then continued, "But to be frank, there are still times when you have to be serious. We are still an association, and anything you do can turn around to bite you, and other members will use it as leverage against you. Just look at what Zachary did this time. I could tell that you have genuine character, and you really hate Mr. Cole. Yes, you went through so much trouble just to screw him over, but it still affects your place in the association."Jacob had to agree that Kenny was making a lot of sense, and it comforted him considerably that Kenny called it 'genuine character'. Nodding, he said, "I have definitely been impulsive in regards to this issue, but I definitely won't make the same mistake twice."Kenny clapped him on the shoulder, sighing, "Jacob, m

    Kenny almost burst into tears when Jacob said yes.He had been waiting for this for so long! Now that Jacob had agreed to return, he had truly saved his own hide!He didn't even dare to hope for a promotion now—at this point, just keeping his place as the president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association was enough for him.Hence, he shook Jacob's hand excitedly again, exclaiming emotionally, "That's great! Once you're back, we'll be fighting side-by-side once more. Trust me, I will find a way to promote you again!"However, Jacob didn't trust him at all at this point, his tone neutral as he said, "That can wait for now."Intent on posturing, he pointed at the grand, imposing front gates of Thompson First and sighed, "Oh, and I'm sure you can tell for now that with my family background and my age, there is no reason to work hard. I worked at the association because I like the job. That's why if I'm happy, I'll work. If I'm not, I won't. The position doesn't really matter to me

    As soon as Jacob stepped out, he found Kenny standing downstairs, and he stared daggers at the other man as his rage and resentment flared.On the other hand, Kenny was grinning fawningly the instant he saw Jacob, hurrying to him even before the latter headed downstairs.They met halfway up the stairs, with Kenny shaking Jacob's hand with an awkward smile, "Oh, Jacob, I'm so sorry about what I did!"Jacob certainly knew that it was nothing more than an act, and hence dissed, "I've known you for ages, but I didn't know you could put up such a terrific performance!"Kenny reddened, immediately embarrassed as he said, "Look, Jacob—I know you're upset with me, so I will just cut to the chase. What I did to you was indeed wrong, but I swear that I truly didn't mean to screw you over at first. I really was going to let you at least stay as a head of department…"Steeling himself, he groaned, "Urgh, I will just give it to you straight! It was my wife's fault that I changed my mind and di

    Jacob did a double-take, and he asked worriedly, "What, is he not bending over after Don Albert got involved?"Charlie shrugged. "That still depends on the situation. In this scenario, misunderstandings can easily occur. If he's convinced you'll never return to the Calligraphy and Painting Association, he won't come begging."It's no different from a dating game—there's no issue with controlling your partner, but you need to do so optimally. Make them lose all hope, and they'll have no reason to keep holding on."Jacob nodded thoughtfully. "That makes sense… Then, I shall go meet him since I'm definitely returning to the association. It's either that or I'm stuck with the missus every day, goofing off."It just so happened that Kenny called him again at that moment, and Jacob answered without hesitation this time. "What do you want?"Kenny promptly said, "Oh, Jacob! You've finally answered… Look, I just want to apologize face-to-face and give you the good news. I'm right outside t

    Jacob was instantly delighted.Kenny was asking to see him, and he had already arrived at the front gate? Given the timing, his politeness, and the mention of good news, that meant Jacob's troubles at the Calligraphy and Painting Association must have been resolved!Still, Jacob soon calmed down and started thinking.The fact that Kenny would suck up to him must have been due to Don Albert's pressure. It was precisely under these circumstances that he should play hard to get instead of letting on that he was eager for a return.As such, he replied: [Forget it. I know very well why you did what you did, so there's no need to talk things out personally.]Kenny's heart skipped a beat when he saw the message, and he immediately became depressed as he showed it to his wife, sighing, "He's not coming back, is he?"Ivy was uncertain after reading the text, too, and she murmured, "Well, there's always the chance he's not keen to go back. It was quite a big deal, and then you added insu

    Ivy nodded quietly. "Well, if there's a chance at promotion, you still have to take the shot. You're not making a lot of money as president for the rest of your life, and you won't be getting much VIP treatment after you retire either."Just look at the last president—after he got promoted, he made a lot of money from the job, and even after he retired, everyone in his family is treated like a VIP, and God knows what benefits they still enjoy. Hell, he doesn't have to take a number when getting a checkup, and if his headaches don't go away, the hospital will invite specialists for a referral! All without asking him for a cent!"If you could reach those same heights, your son would wish for you to live to be a hundred!""Yeah…" Kenny nodded in full agreement. "I mean, I still have a shot despite my age, but heaven knows how many years this mess with Jacob will set me back. It would be fine if it were just a couple of years, but if it's five years or more, there's really no more hope.
