Chapter 833: Chapter 833: He is Shameless, by Any Means Necessary
What on earth was Jacob Clark thinking?
Although there were green plants providing some cover, the commotion Jacob Clark had made still drew the attention of other people in the café toward them.
“Did you ask me to come here just so that people in the café could look our way?”
The corners of Jacob Clark’s mouth twitched slightly, showing a face that still seemed racked with sobs, but from Enna’s angle, she could see the scheming and triumph in his eyes. While he pretended to be in grief, he raised his voice, “Enna, do you really need to see your dad dead to feel at ease? I’ve said it before, it wasn’t that I didn’t want to marry your mom. It was because I was already married to your Auntie May. Being with your mom was already a betrayal to Auntie May, and at that time, Auntie May was pregnant. I just couldn’t divorce her. Why can’t you see things from my perspective and understand my choice at that time?”
“Yes, I’m a scoundrel, I admit it, I wronged two women. But you can’t just take over my company because I didn’t marry your mom back then, can you? Although I didn’t marry her, when your mom died in a difficult childbirth, leaving you alone, it was I who faced the pressure and brought you home. I provided for you, gave you good food, good clothes, and good things to use.”
“The moment you took off and found Young Master Lawrence, you wanted to take over the company that I spent my lifetime building… Enna, Dad doesn’t blame you, just stop the takeover, and Dad really won’t hold it against you.”
His voice was neither loud nor quiet, just loud enough for everyone in the café to hear.
At first, the people in the café didn’t recognize them, but after Jacob Clark spoke up, they identified who they were.
“Ah, I know who they are now. It’s that… that female protagonist from the ‘Wedding of the Century,’ what’s her name…”
“Right, right, that’s her. I saw the news about her family online before, it mentioned she and her dad have a really bad relationship and that she is a child born of a mistress. I didn’t expect it to be true. Oh, it’s sad that Young Master Lawrence would be interested in someone like that. Even if her dad is no good, trying to take over her dad’s company is just too much. Her mom was a mistress, ruining someone else’s family, and failed to rise to the top; twenty years later, the daughter still holds a grudge against her own father for it. Heh, I really feel sorry for the man’s wife.”
“I didn’t expect the person taking over the Clark family company to be her, and all for such a reason. Hah, it’s really shameless, to have such twisted worldviews. Her mother, being a mistress, why didn’t she consider she might never marry? Since she chose to be the mistress back then, she should’ve been prepared never to be the official wife. She really wants to have her cake and eat it too!”
The surrounding buzz of conversation swirled around like a tide, each word more offensive than the last.
Mistress after mistress.
Homewrecker after homewrecker.
Enna Clark was furious to the extreme, glaring at Jacob, her rage uncontrollable, “Your shamelessness is truly beyond my imagination!”
Just then, suddenly, flashes from cameras outside the glass window caught her eye, and Enna astutely looked out to see people with cameras “click click clicking” away at her from the sidewalk.
She now completely understood what Jacob Clark’s plan was.
Jacob Clark was indeed more formidable than Jasmine Clark; Jasmine would only resort to kidnapping and framing, those childish tactics one is ashamed to resort to, but Jacob was different. Jacob could truly be described as ruthless and unscrupulous!
