Chapter 274 It Felt Nice

“Who is Joseph?” Jenny studied Jacob’s apathetic face meticulously, trying to look for some hint. “What are you talking about Jacob? I don’t understand.”

Jacob’s smile grew wider. “You don’t understand? Do you need me to help you refresh your memory?”

Without giving Jenny a chance to say anything, Jacob continued, “That day, after you left my house with the information you copied from my hard disk, you went straight to Joseph and handed him the information. Unfortunately, when he got some experts to look at the information, he found that it was fake. I suppose he should be very angry with you, right? So to protect yourself, you lied to him and told him that I still have feelings for you. You can still come back to me, and you still have the chance to steal the real information away. Am I correct? Is there anything else I need to add?”

Everything he said was correct, but Jacob even described it as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Jenny was stunned. It took her quite a while to pick herself up as she stammered, “Jacob, I… I…”

“Can’t think of an excuse anymore?” Jacob said, offering her a smile, “How about this. I’ll give you three minutes and you think carefully about what you want to say. If it’s good, I might give you an applause.”

The sarcasm in his voice was evident, but Jenny ignored it. As if she had grasped the last straw, her eyes lit up with newfound hope.

The fact that Jacob was still willing to give her three minutes meant that he wanted to hear her explanation. Jenny was certain that he must still have some feelings for her.

After some quick thinking, she looked at Jacob with tears in her eyes and said, “I don’t want to do this to you too, Jacob. But that man… He has my parents in his hand. He threatened me that if I don’t do as he said, he will kill them! I love you, Jacob, I really do, but I can’t just see my parents die!”

There was no expression on Jacob’s face. His gaze was steely, and he seemed as if he had seen through all her lies.

Jenny’s heart skipped a beat, but she bit the bullet and continued her show, “Jacob, I knew I was wrong. I knew no matter how much I explained, you wouldn’t believe me. With things as such, I guess I have no choice but to offer my apology with death.”

With those words, Jenny rose up to her feet and dashed towards the window.

It was at this moment that Jacob finally opened his mouth. He said, “Hold on.”

A smirk crossed Jenny’s face as a rush of ecstasy coursed through her. Just like what she thought, his coldness was merely a facade, and deep down, he actually cared a lot for her. Suppressing her exhilaration back to her stomach pit, she assumed an innocent look and turned to look at Jacob.

"We are on the third level now," Jacob said.

"Hmm? So?" Jenny was dumbfounded.

“You can’t die if you jump down from the third level. If you really wish to die, I suggest you go to the rooftop. It’s high enough over there, and death is guaranteed,” Jacob continued flatly.

Jenny: “...”

“Pfff!” Anna could not help and stifle a laugh.

Jenny turned around and shot daggers at her.

Anna immediately wiped the smile off her face and said seriously, “I didn’t hear anything. You guys can continue.”

Seemingly had found an opening, Jenny veered towards Anna with her teeth gritted tightly and directed all her frustration and anger at her. “Jacob is my boyfriend, and we’re just having a small fight. Do you have any problem with that? Could it be that you have a thing for Jacob, and that’s why you’re poking your nose in our affairs? Hah, why don’t you take a mirror and look at yourself first? You’re nothing but just a mere caretaker. Do you really think Jacob would fall in love with someone like you? Please, you’re making me laugh!”

Jenny’s eyes were filled with disdain.

Anna did not plan to stay quiet anymore this time.

Before this, she decided to stay quiet before she was worried that she might be someone important to Jacob.

However, now it was clear to her that Jacob loathed this woman to the core. Perhaps she was the only one among them who was having a delusion and still thought that she was Jacob’s girlfriend.

“A mere caretaker?” Anna raised her chin and looked down at Jenny, “Yes, I’m just a caretaker. But at the very least I’m true to myself unlike you.” She paused for a moment and ran her eyes up and down Jenny a few times before continuing in a disdainful tone, “There is nothing real on your body.”

“What do you mean?” Jenny was even more enraged when Anna fought back.

“Do you really think nobody can see it? Well, let me tell you then. The filler in your forehead looks pretty sturdy, I’ll give you that, but your nose is a big no, and your eyelids… Oh my, where did you do your eyelids? It’s so… I don’t know how to describe it, but whichever plastic surgeon did your eyelids, he should just quit his job.”

Then, she continued unceremoniously, “And your chin, your breasts. They are so poorly done that everyone can easily see from a single glance you’ve done something to them.”

“You… shut up! Don’t listen to her, Jacob. She is framing me!” Jenny refuted, her face pale.

“I’m framing you? If you have the guts, then let me touch them!”

Without waiting for the consent from Jenny, Anna took one step forward and reached out for her breasts.

Jenny: “...”

Jacob: “...”

Anna was fast. Before Jenny could come around to her senses, she had already placed her hands on her breasts and gripped them tightly.

Just as Jenny wanted to shove her away, a loud explosion was heard and everyone in the room was stunned.

As if she knew what had happened, Jenny slowly, almost mechanically, tilted her head down. Her eyes widened in horror when she saw her breasts had burst and she let out a scream.

Anna was still in a daze as well. It took her quite a long while to recollect herself and said, “I… I… didn’t know it’ll burst so easily…”

Jenny felt she did not have the face to stay here anymore. Screaming hysterically, she dashed out of the room.

“Don’t forget to watch out for your highly-replicated designer handbag too,” Anna shouted behind her.

Jenny ran even faster.

Looking at Jenny’s back, Anna dusted her shirt and harrumphed, “Hmph! What a loser. She probably doesn’t know that I’m known as the b*tch exterminator in my hometown!”

“B*tch exterminator?” A cold voice rang out, freezing Anna in place.

She turned around and played dumb. “Huh? What did I say earlier? I suddenly have amnesia and I can’t remember anything.”

Jacob continued to stare at her expressionlessly, causing gooseflesh to pebble all over her skin.

After a short while, she assumed an ingratiating manner and said, “Well, I’ve helped you get rid of her, Mr. Shelby. I know this kind of woman very well. They are exceedingly tenacious. And if you don’t teach them some hard lessons, they will not stop bugging you.”

“Oh? So I should thank you, then?” Jacob said, shooting her a sidelong glance.

“Well, that is not necessary. I never ask for anything in return for helping people,” Anna said with a serious face.

Looking at Anna’s sincere eyes, a surge of helplessness and exhaustion enveloped him whole.

He did not know what was going with the caretaker. She usually looked just like a normal girl, but who knew she would suddenly turn into a little vicious fox?

Jacob let out a snort before continuing, “I can see that you should’ve come from a huge family, so what drove you to become a caretaker?”

Anna was stunned. Then, her face suddenly scrunched up as she said, “What are you talking about, Mr. Shelby? I did not come from a huge family. My family is just a small family of five that stay in a small village in the countryside. We used to live on a tiny land that is not more than 5 acres. When I was small…”

Just when Anna was going to continue with her sad story, Jacob interrupted coldly and said, “So you’re telling me that a person who came from a small village in the countryside can distinguish the fake handbag from the real one with just a few glances?”

Anna’s expression froze, and then she said with a serious tone, “I’m just talking nonsense.”

Jacob’s smile broadened.

Anna felt a chill down her spine looking at his grin, but she held herself together.

“I don’t care about your family. Don’t do anything stupid within these few days, and after this, you can go wherever you want. Do I make myself clear?” Jacob warned.

Since she had already exposed herself, Anna did not plan to hide her true self anymore. Grinning from ear to ear, she nodded profusely and said, “Alright, alright. Don’t worry about me, I’ll do whatever you said.”

After that, she walked up to Jacob in a boisterous manner and asked, “Mr. Shelby, how did you feel when your ex-girlfriend’s boob exploded? Did you feel excited?”

Jacob looked at her, and he really wanted to roll his eyes at her. However, when he recalled the scene, he could not help but crack a grin.

‘I have to say… That scene was quite entertaining.”
