Chapter 63 Jacob Breaks Up Hearing Jacobâs words, Gerald was speechless.
As a sonâinâlaw who had been bullied for three years, Gerald thought that he was miserable enough. But compared with Jacob, he felt that jacob was really unlucky.
He frowned and said, âWhat about her brother? What does her brother think?â
Jacob curled his lips and said, âDonât mention it. Her brother always goofs around and likes to gamble. But he is the only male descendant in the family, so he has been spoiled since childhood. I canât do anything about that.â
As he said this, he looked at Gerald and asked, âGerald, give me a suggestion. What should I do?â
Gerald touched his nose and said, âDid your girlfriend consider your life after you got married? If you borrowed 160 thousand dollars, after you got married, you would have to pay the mortgage and the debt together. Did she not consider this?â
Jacob said dejectedly, âShe probably doesnât want to marry me. She just wants me to back down. But we have been dating for six years. I love her very much, and I can feel that she loves me. Itâs just that...â
Gerald let out a sigh and said, âJacob, to be honest. I think you should break up. You should calm down and analyze your current situation. If you gave them 160 thousand dollars and you got married, what would happen next?
âYour girlfriend is obviously helping her brother. He is a gambler, and you donât know how many debts you will have to pay for him. In the future, not only will you raise your own family, but you also have to raise her family. Itâs fine if you raise her parents, but do you want to raise her brother, to take care of him even after he gets married and has children?â Gerald calmly analyzed the situation for Jacob.
Jacob had a conflicted look on his face.
He was just an ordinary person. After his girlfriend put forward such a request, Jacob had already thought of breaking 1. up.
It was just that he really liked his girlfriend. After all, they had been together for six years.
Of course, the reason why Gerald asked him to break up was that he felt that Jacob could be able to find a better woman than his current girlfriend.
From Jacobâs reaction, Gerald had already made up his mind to help Jacob. At the very least, he would not let Jacob worry about money for the rest of his life.
âYou have a point.â Jacob let out a sigh and said, âBut I still donât want to leave her.â
âJacob.â
At this time, a sound came from the entrance of the community.
Gerald and Jacob turned to look. At the entrance of the community, two people walked over. One was a middleâaged man, and the other was a girl.
Jacob said in a low voice, âShe is my girlfriend, Kelly Frost. The other person is her father, Derek Frost.â
Gerald narrowed his eyes slightly. He had thought that Kelly should be a beauty, but she is just agreeable. Being surrounded by beauties like Valery and Audrey, Gerald only thought that Kelly was not beautiful at all.â
At this time, they walked over and looked at Gerald. Derek looked at Jacob and said, âJacob, Kelly is old enough to get married and couldnât afford to waste her youth. If you donât have 160 thousand dollars, donât waste her time. Just break up with her.â
Kelly looked calm. Obviously, she had chased Jacob out just to break up with him, and her father thought the same.
Jacobâs expression changed slightly. He looked at Kelly and Derek and sighed, âYouâre over the top. In fact, as long as you donât ask for too much, I will be filial to you. Although I donât earn much, my salary is above the average standard in Sacramento.
Since you have decided, Kelly and I can only break up.â
After he said this, Gerald could feel that Jacob had been drained of strength.
When Kelly heard that, her expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her calm.
âDonât blame us. Blame yourself for not being able to give Kelly happiness.â Derek looked at Jacob and said, âThatâs enough. In the future, letâs be parted forever.â
Jacob gritted his teeth and nodded.
Gerald slightly raised his eyebrows and said, âThe price of marriage is too high. I thought that they were selling their daughters.â
Jacob was angry, but his edges had long been smoothed by reality. When he heard what Gerald said, he did not interrupt Gerald. After all, he thought the same.
Derek looked at Gerald and said, âWho are you? It has nothing to do with you.
Gerald touched his nose, patted Jacobâs shoulder, and said, âAlright, Jacob, there is nothing to be sad about. Youâll find a better woman. As long as you have money, you can find all kinds of women.â
Kelly frowned.
Derek sneered and said, âThe premise is that you have to get rich. If he was rich, he and Kelly should have been married long ago. He can only manage to pay a down payment on a small house! Kelly, donât think too much. This kind of man is not worthy of you. Letâs go. Your aunt set you up on a blind date. That manâs conditions are much better. You will meet him tomorrow.â
âRich men might not take a fancy to your daughter,â Gerald said with a sneer.
Kelly frowned. She turned to look at Jacob and said, âJacob, what does your friend mean? Do you have to make things worse? If you could be more aspirant, we wouldnât have ended up like this.â
âExactly. Donât blame us for being ruthless, trash,â Derek said.
Jacob seemed to be afraid of this woman and did not dare to answer back.
Gerald patted Jacob and said with a smile, âWell, donât worry about it. You want to earn money, right? Come to my company tomorrow. I will give you an annual salary of 800 thousand dollars.â
When Gerald finished his words, Jacob was stunned.
He thought that Gerald shouldnât have much money after he had just returned to Sacramento, and Gerald said so just to help him win back his dignity. Jacob silently looked at Gerald with gratitude.
Derek and Kelly, who were just about to leave, stopped. Derek turned to look at Gerald and said disdainfully, âYou have a company and want to give him an annual salary of 800 thousand dollars. Donât brag.â
Kelly said sarcastically, âIâve never heard of him having such a rich friend.â
Gerald smiled and said to Jacob, âGive me your bank card.â
The best way to deal with Kelly was to make them regret it.
When Jacob heard Geraldâs words, he didnât know what Gerald was up to, but he still took out a bank card.
Gerald took out his phone and quickly entered the number of the bank card. Then he said to Jacob, âI will take you to my company tomorrow, and I have paid you an annual salary in advance.â
Ding.
At the same time, Jacob received a text message.
Jacob took out his phone with a dumbfounded expression. However, in the next instant, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he said, âGerald, you really transferred 800 thousand dollars to me? Are you crazy?â
Gerald smiled and said, âItâs prepayment. Just come to work tomorrow.â
âWho are you lying to?â Kelly sneered. Then she stepped forward and grabbed Jacobâs phone.
When she saw the text message, Kelly looked pale. She looked at Gerald and said, âYou really gave him 800 thousand dollars.â
Gerald chuckled, âWhy should I lie to you? It isnât worthwhile to lie to you. From tomorrow on, Jacob is one of the richest men in Sacramento.â
Derek also looked at Jacobâs phone and was pale as well.
Jacob was overwhelmed by the surprise.
He never expected that Gerald was not joking. At this time, Derek was still a little confused.
After a short moment of astonishment, Derek smiled and said, âJacob, youâre rich now. And the bride price is no longer a burden to you. You and Kelly have been together for so many years. I think you should get married now.
Gerald was stunned. He originally wanted Derek and Kelly to regret it, but he didnât expect Derek to be so shameless.
Jacob let out a long sigh. He gave Gerald a grateful look, then looked at Kelly and Derek and said, âForget it, we have already broken up. Return the phone to me.â
