Jacob was equally taken aback and looked incredulously at the man in front of him, “Mr Scott, how could you ……”
Roger Scott grinned and quickly stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar, “I thought it was strange when I saw you guys outside just now and followed over to listen for a while, I didn’t expect ah didn’t expect!”
He looked at Jacob with disgust and sarcasm in his eyes, “Jacob, what did Logan do to you that made you do this to him?”
“Roger ……” Edward Ford immediately stopped his movement, “You let him go first.”
“Fuck off!”
Roger Scott pushed him straight away, “Edward Ford, I thought all your fights with Logan Brown were normal, but I never thought you’d think of using such a dirty trick! If you’re willing to dig in your heels, what else are you afraid to do?”
Edward Ford looked at him blankly for a moment and then laughed, “Roger Scott, don’t give me that hypocritical gentleman’s talk, I don’t think like you and I’m on a different path!”
He had his way, and he had his way just the same.
Roger Scott nearly vomited blood in anger at his righteous words and couldn’t help but immediately cast his eyes on Jacob, “Jacob, so according to what he said, what I just heard, is it all true?”
“Mr Scott ……”
“Answer me!”
Roger Scott was as cold as ice, his eyes fixed on his body as if he would be eaten alive if he answered yes.
Jacob pursed his lips and nodded wordlessly after the silence, “Yes, I chose to side with Mr. Ford.”
“Traitor!”
Roger Scott was furious and it took almost all of his strength not to allow himself to pummel him.
“Mr Scott, good people should choose better places, so blame it on the gentleman’s bad luck.” Jacob said.
“Heh ……”
Roger Scott suddenly let go of his hand, full of disappointment, “Jacob, once I thought you were different from others, now it seems that you are no better than that, you can’t escape the temptation of reality after all.”
Jacob didn’t answer.
“It’s just that.” Roger Scott shook his head, “Consider it me, it was Logan Brown who was blind and misjudged you!”
“For Mr. Brown I’m sorry, but ……”
“Shut up!”
Roger Scott snarled out, “You’re in no position to apologise and I won’t accept it!”
Edward Ford stood up straight and straightened his shirt before speaking slowly, “Roger Scott, I know you feel bad for Logan Brown, but no matter what, the man is mine now, and Logan Brown, is doomed!”
Roger Scott clenched his teeth and hate erupted from his eyes, “Edward Ford, aren’t you afraid of being punished by God for doing this?”
“Afraid of what?” Edward Ford replied dryly, “I’ve been afraid of everything in my life Roger Scott, I’ve never been afraid of anything or anyone, so even if you say more, I won’t worry about it.”
“You ……”
Roger Scott just raised his finger to him, the person in front of him had also similarly extended his hand to hold his, the corners of his lips held a light smile, “Roger, I did not want things to be exposed so quickly, just now you already know that means it can not be hidden, so please go back and tell Logan Brown, Jacob this person, I want I’ll take him!”
“Edward Ford, you’ve blatantly poached Logan Brown’s right-hand man, what do you think Elena will think of you if she finds out?”
“She already knows, but so what if she does?” Edward Ford spread his hands out, his face full of helplessness.
It was a look that made Roger Scott hate it, but hate his own powerlessness!
Edward Ford patted him on the shoulder kindly and said, “So, you have to be open-minded and not take things too seriously.”
“But didn’t you promise her you wouldn’t do anything to the Brown Group or KL? What’s the point of you going back on your word now?”
“No.”
Jacob shook his head with a straight face, “Mr Ford didn’t break his agreement with the lady, it’s just that first the lady faked a divorce and then Mr Brown went against the Fords Group at every turn. In the end, the Fords Group had no choice but to fight back, so ……”
“Jacob!” said Roger Scott, turning his head and glaring at him, “You haven’t even got Edward Ford’s money yet and you’re so eager to speak for him?”
Jacob’s lips quirked slightly, then said weakly, “I’m just telling the truth too, the rest ……”
“Ridiculous, Jacob, where did Logan Brown wrong you? But what about you? And now you betray him so easily, doesn’t your conscience hurt? Do you remember who the man you call Mr. Brown is!?”
It was Logan Brown, not Edward Ford in front of him!
Roger Scott took a deep breath and felt only a little dizzy as his eyes went black.
Jacob subconsciously held him up, “Mr Scott, you’re not well, it’s better not to get too easily worked up.”
“Don’t you give me the benefit of the doubt here!” Roger Scott ignored him and pushed his hand away without a second thought.
Jacob stood silently, unable to help the look of guilt.
Edward Ford landed a slap on his shoulder and said in one word, “Now that you’ve made your decision, make it a clean one and don’t drag it out afterwards.”
“Hmm.” Jacob nodded slightly, then said, “Mr Scott, I hope you’ll tell Mr Brown when you get back that I don’t want what I have at KL, and ……”
“Jacob, you’re a disgrace to me!” Roger Scott interrupted him directly.
The disappointment in those eyes made Jacob stifle his shame, all the more so as he dared not lift his face to look directly at him.
And Roger Scott, with that last comment, walked away, not giving him the slightest chance to defend himself.
Edward Ford’s eyes flashed and he lamented, “Roger Scott is just too rigid for his own good, so it’s not really your fault, let alone ……”
“It’s okay.” Jacob waved his hand, “I’ve seen these things coming for a long time, plus …… I’m just looking out for myself, and in this world, there’s no such thing as a person who isn’t looking out for themselves.”
“It is naturally best if you can think so.”
Jacob did not move to break away from his hand, “Tomorrow I will go to the Fords Group to take up my post, and there is no one between the Fords Group and KL who knows it better than I. I will inform you one by one as to what should be done.”
“Fine, I’ll have my assistant set you up, he’ll be at your side as well, and after that move straight to being your assistant, helping out when you can’t juggle.”
Jacob, knowing that all he had to do was send someone to keep an eye on him, didn’t raise any objections and gave a slight nod of his head in response.
Edward Ford gave him a deep look, half a second before withdrawing his gaze.
Jacob also quickly left the restaurant, as if nothing had happened.
