Victória bit her lip and was lost in her thoughts after hearing Aliceâs words.
Was Yvette on such close terms with Jasper now? This was the first time Victoria had seen Jasper looking at someone besides Wilson with such admiration.
Alice went on pitting Victoria against Yvette. âVictoria, Yvette wouldnât even do that for your sake.
You clearly donât amount to anything at all to her! And to think that youâve been seeing her as a friend this whole time! How could she treat you like that? Sheâs really too much!â
âThatâs enough, Alice. Stop itâ¦â Victoria hung her head low, feeling more dejected with each passing moment.
As for Alice, she secretly scoffed to herself. It wouldnât be long before she drove a wedge between Victoria and Yvette. Victoria would hate Yvetteâs guts, and sheâd be able to use Victoria against Yvette!
Over at Murray Corporation, Jack politely handed Jacob a document. âMr. Murray, your signature is needed on this document.â
Jacob hummed nonchalantly and signed the document before picking up his phone and checking his chat log with Nancy. He truly couldnât take it anymore, so he sent her a text message. But the moment he sent the message, a red exclamation mark popped upâheâd been blocked!
Jacobâs expression darkened in a matter of a second. But there was nothing he could do about 1. it.
What a headache. Why had Nancy blocked him again? He had clearly followed Wilsonâs instructions! So what went wrong?
âHey, Jacob! Whatâs up? Why the long face?â
Collin sauntered in gaily. Seeing the dark look on Jacobâs face, he couldnât help but crane his neck over to have a look. The moment he saw the red exclamation mark, he burst out laughing.
âJacob! So it turns out that there is someone who dares to block you!â
Jacob looked even more upset than he had seconds earlier. Shooting Collin a sharp look, he spat, âGet lost.â
Not giving up, Collin continued guffawing. âThis is hilarious! Who pursues women like you, Jacob?â
After he was done laughing, he jokingly exclaimed, âOh, Jacob, if this is how you go after a woman, then Iâm afraid youâre bound to a life of solitude!â
âWhat do you know?â Jacob gave him an annoyed glance. âIâm doing this according to the instructions I was told!â
âWho the fuck taught you how to woo a woman like that?â
Collin tried his best to stifle a laugh when he heard that. Then, he gave Jacob a pat on the shoulder.
âYou need to take the initiative when going after a woman! Show up around her and give her some tender, loving care! Your way of wooing a woman is pretty much just giving her the silent treatment, Jacob! Which woman would want to be with you if you act like that? No wonder you were blocked!â
Jacobâs expression became as dark as night when he heard that. He ground his teeth together and hissed, âJust perfect.â
How dare that old lecher Wilson fool him! And to think heâd trusted him so much and followed his method of distancing himself from Nancy!
Now, where did that get him? He got blocked! He wasnât going to let Wilson off!
âHey, hey, hey⦠Where are you off to, Jacob?â
Jacob walked out without so much as a backward glance. He furiously announced, âIâm going to make Wilson pay! That bastard!â
