Chapter 786: Chapter 786: Jacob Clark is Here
Returning from the church, Enna Clark hadn’t had a chance to watch the news yet.
Her secretary came looking for her in a hurry.
“Representative, the president of Clark Group is waiting outside for you, insisting on seeing you today. What should we do?”
“The president of Clark Group?” Enna’s smile paused, and her eyebrows furrowed. “What does he want?”
“This… President Clark didn’t say.”
The secretary had been watching the news all morning and, apart from the wedding news, she also saw some gossip.
The gossip mentioned that the president of Clark Group was their representative’s father.
She wasn’t sure if it was true or not.
“Clark Group has been trying to get in touch with us for the past few days, hoping to schedule a meeting with you. We declined as per your instructions. But unexpectedly, President Clark showed up today, very determined to see you… so we didn’t know how to handle it.”
“Let him in.” Enna said indifferently as she entered her office.
Soon, the secretary led Jacob Clark into the office and politely left to pour tea for them.
“Enna.” Jacob greeted her as if nothing unpleasant had happened between them the night before.
Enna didn’t want to waste time and said directly, “I’ll give you half an hour. Just tell me what you want, President Clark.”
Jacob had expected her attitude towards him to be not very good but not this domineering and straightforward. He was startled and anger welled up in his chest. His face darkened. But when he saw her calm and indifferent appearance, he realized that Enna was no longer the Enna he knew, and he couldn’t afford to get angry as he was now the one asking for help.
He suppressed the anger in his chest and said, “Enna, are you the one acquiring Clark Group?”
Without waiting for her response, he continued, “I know you have some misunderstandings about me, but I hope you can try to understand my perspective. You and Jasmine are both my daughters, and I don’t want to see any conflict between you. I know that my approach at the time was not good and I hurt your feelings. But, I am your father, even if my approach was bad, I am still your father. If we have any disagreements, we can sit down and talk. There’s no need to make it a big deal and become the laughing stock of others.”
Enna couldn’t help but look at the man in front of her, as if she was seeing him for the first time, with a gaze cold to the extreme. “Did President Clark hit his head and lose his memory? I remember that I made it clear to you a year ago that I don’t have a father. You are Jasmine’s father. Didn’t you agree with what I said at the time?”
“I was just angry at that moment and didn’t truly agree. You are my biological daughter! How could I agree to that?” Jacob frowned, clearly displeased.
Twenty years of father-daughter affection as thin as water, hearing the words “biological daughter” from this man now, Enna felt an indescribable irony.
The irony made her involuntarily clench her fists, her nails digging into her flesh, just to keep herself calm.
She slowly hooked up the corners of her mouth and stared into the man’s eyes in front of her, coldly saying, “President Clark, you may have forgotten what you’ve done, but I haven’t. I don’t have a father. My father died the day my mom passed away in the hospital during childbirth. You must have remembered it wrong.”
