At that time, he thought that with Matheo Lewisâs timid nature, he surely wouldnât refuse his request. As long as the child was aborted, the rumors outside would stop, and then they could still be together in secret.
But unexpectedly, the always compliant Matheo Lewis rejected him, without a momentâs hesitation. He didnât just give back the card but also took the initiative to cut off all ties with him.
âEnna, under those circumstances, I truly had no other choice, which is why I had your mom abort you. But werenât you born anyway?â
âMy birth had nothing to do with you.â It was thanks to a fragile womanâs perseverance!
Enna Clark scoffed at him, not wanting to spend another second in his company, feeling utterly disgusted at the sight of him!
Jacob Clark was at a loss for words, unable to respond to Enna Clarkâs sharpness. He continued, âYour mom also said she has no other wishes, only hoping you could grow up safe and healthy.â
Wishing for her to grow up safe and healthy⦠A nameless sourness welled up in Enna Clarkâs chest, suddenly making her extremely uncomfortable, as if someone was clutching her throat, making it difficult for her to breathe.
âIs that all?â
âThatâs all.â
âI understand, thank you, President Clark, for telling me this today.â If Jacob Clark hadnât told her, she wouldnât have known anything. Although knowing didnât make much difference, at least through his few brief words, she truly felt that there once was someone who had loved her that much, âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâll be going now.â
âI still have something to say.â Jacob Clark suddenly became emotional, grabbing her hand, âEnna, Iâm begging you, please stop the acquisition of the Clark Family company! I admit I was wrong, I wronged you and your mom, but the company is the result of my decades of hard work. Do not take over the Clark Family company. Whatever you want, tell me, and I will try to compensate you.â
âI donât need your compensation, and I donât want it either! Iâve said it, those who do wrong must pay the price. If the law canât punish you, I will.â
âEnna, must you be so heartless?â Jacob Clarkâs face darkened.
When Enna Clark heard the word âheartlessâ from him, she found it especially laughable, âIf this is what President Clark considers heartless, then let me make it clear to you, I will not stop acquiring the Clark Family company. Not now, not ever.â
She knew Jacob Clark had a purpose in meeting her, it wasnât simply to talk about her mom.
Most likely, it was all about the company.
As expected, her mom was just a smokescreen.
But thatâs okay, she felt satisfied hearing those words today.
Enna Clark picked up her bag, ready to leave.
She never expected that at this moment, the man sitting opposite her would also get up and rush towards her.
Enna Clarkâs first instinct was to back away, to avoid him.
However, something shocking happened. Jacob Clark reached her, and the next second, his knees buckled, and he fell to the ground with a thud before her.
Jacob Clark had knelt down!
Enna Clark felt her heart skip a beat.
What was he playing at?
Before she could figure it out, Jacob Clark began to cry, clutching the hem of her dress, looking utterly desperate, weeping bitterly, âEnna, stop acquiring the Clark Family company. Even if you have grudges or misunderstandings with me, Iâm still your dad. How can you bear to see my lifeâs work go to waste? Are you trying to drive me to my death?â
