Chapter 11: Give Me Money
Chapter 11: Give Me Money
Yesterday, Kaley had learned from Professor Powell that what Jacob had written could solve their
problem in product development.
That night, she couldn't wait and carried out the experiment.
As long as the cosmetics series of "Gone with the Mist" could be successfully launched, her company Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
would definitely tide over the current crisis.
Ever since her father became a vegetable, her counterparts began to make troubles for her company.
And the partners also took the opportunity to ask for more profits, making things worse.
This situation had already lasted for almost three years. Now, the company was about to go bankrupt. If
it wasn't for Kaley, the company would have already collapsed.
However, if she didn't find a way to change the situation within six months, the company would really
collapse.
The cosmetics series of "Gone with the Mist" was Kaley's last hope. She had invested all her money in
the research and development of this cosmetics series.
She was going to cry when hearing that the problem in product development had finally been solved.
Her persistence had finally paid off.
Last night, she and the employees of the product research and development department had been
testing the new product. It was until three or four in the morning that the test succeeded. After that,
Kaley felt relieved.
The research and development process went unexpectedly smoothly. Now she only needed to wait to
see the product effect.
As long as the effect was the same as she had expected, this product would definitely cause a
sensation after it went on sale.
After returning home, Kaley only slept for a few hours. After getting up, she took a shower. She wanted
to see her father in the hospital before going to the company.
Her mother was taking care of her father in the hospital. Her sister was at school, and Jacob hadn't
returned home all night.
There was no one in the family.
Therefore, Kaley didn't lock the bathroom.
After bathing, she was drying her hair.
But the bathroom door suddenly opened!
She was frightened and looked over.
There was a man standing at the door. It was her husband, Jacob!
"Sorry! I didn't notice that you were in the bathroom!"
Jacob said without embarrassment.
"You ... turn around. Don't look at me!"
Kaley was both embarrassed and angry. She covered her body with a towel. Her fair skin was red from
embarrassment.
Though they had been married for three years, she had never gotten intimate with Jacob.
Not to mention the current situation.
"Don't worry. I'm not interested in you."
Jacob waved and turned around. Then he left the bathroom and closed the door.
When Jacob was still weak, he had peeped at Siren's body. She was one of the three witches in the
Dark Realm.
He had been chased by her for several years and escaped to several planets. Although he had been
seriously injured several times, he had still succeeded to see her flawless body. Siren was just like a
fairy from heaven.
Later when he became powerful, countless beauties curried favor with him.
So he had seen a lot of beauties before.
He had appreciated all kinds of beauties carefully.
Although Kaley was pretty, Jacob wasn't attracted by her.
However, his reaction irritated Kaley.
She trembled with anger.
She was furious.
She didn't realize that she only felt embarrassed when Jacob had seen her body. And only after Jacob
showed no interest in her did she truly become angry.
"Where did you go last night?"
After coming out of the bathroom, Kaley looked at Jacob and asked sourly.
"The Riverside University."
Jacob replied.
Kaley didn't ask why he went there.
"Are you the one who wrote the solutions to the chemical problems in my document of product
development?"
Kaley looked at Jacob with a strange look.
These past two days, Jacob had given her many surprises. Even Jacob was completely different from
before.
"Yes. Can it solve your problem?"
"Thank you, Jacob. Not only did you save my father, you also saved my company. I..." Kaley looked at
Jacob and hesitated.
Jacob saw her awkward expression and said, "You're welcome. Since it can solve your problem, you
should give me money."
"Give money?" Kaley widened her beautiful eyes.
She didn't think that this was what Jacob should do. She was just a little surprised.
"Of course you have to pay for my work. We're going to get divorced soon, so we can't continue to
share everything as before."
Jacob emphasized the word "divorce".
He was worried that Kaley would be so touched and decide not to get divorced.
He didn't want to have any dealings with the Harris family in the future.
He only wanted to practice martial arts and recover his strength, then return to his world and seek
revenge.
"Alright!" Kaley understood what Jacob meant. She gritted her teeth and said, "Your solution is
priceless. I don't have much money now. I'll write you an IOU."
"OK."
Jacob said.
Money was not important to him.
If he really wanted to make money, it would be easy.
He could make a fortune overnight by curing a wealthy man with a terminal illness.
...
Jacob took a shower and felt much more comfortable.
Suddenly, he received a call from Aaron.
Aaron said that he was in a hurry yesterday and hadn't expressed his gratitude properly. He wanted to
treat Jacob to a meal today. Besides, he also had a clue about the dark mana in his body and wanted
to talk about it with Jacob.
Hearing this, Jacob was overjoyed.
The dark mana in Aaron's body was by far the thing Jacob had ever seen that could evoke the
strongest reaction of the Chaos Pearl.
Once the source was found, he would be able to obtain a large amount of dark mana.
This way, he could definitely advance his strength in a short period of time through the Chaos Pearl.
Then he quickly got dressed and went to the Riverside Hotel.
His speed was very fast. When he arrived at the hotel, Aaron and Winona hadn't arrived yet.
Jacob sat down in the hall.
Not long after, a small group of people entered the hall.
Among them, a young man in his twenties was surrounded by the crowd.
"Congratulations, Mr. Christ. We've only graduated a few years ago and are still fighting for our lives,
while you've already taken a big step forward in your official career."
"You became the section chief at such a young age. You're so capable. I think you will be promoted
soon."
"Mr. Christ, we're counting on you to help us later."
Everyone was complimenting Benjamin Christ.
Jacob frowned and looked over.
Then he found that those people were actually classmates of the former "Jacob".
Amanda was also there.
Suddenly, one of them saw Jacob sitting on the sofa.
"Isn't that Jacob?"
This shocked everyone.
"Yes, that's him."
"What is he doing here?"
"We didn't invite him, right?"
Everyone was talking.
Benjamin, the high-spirited man in the middle, frowned when he saw Jacob.
In college, he didn't get along well with Jacob.
The sharp-eyed person who saw Jacob first was called Hogan Martines. He was careful and observant.
Therefore, he immediately noticed the change in Benjamin's expression.
"Jacob, I heard that your company is about to collapse. Aren't you in a hurry to get divorced and marry
another rich woman? If the Harris family collapses, you'll live a poor life!"
Hogan said.
To please Benjamin, just flattery wasn't enough. With so many people flattering Benjamin, Hogan had
no advantage.
Therefore, when he saw the change in Benjamin's expression, he knew mocking Jacob would make
Benjamin happy.
Moreover, Jacob actually married Kaley, one of the four beauties in the Riverside City. Hogan was
jealous of Jacob.
Even though Jacob was a live-in son-in-law, he could sleep with Kaley, an absolute stunner.
"By the way, the reason why you could marry Kaley was because the fortune teller said that you could
turn bad luck into good luck. Unfortunately, on the first day you got married, you actually cause your
father-in-law to become a vegetable."
"Now, the company is going to go bankrupt. If the Harris family is bankrupt, it'll be hard for you to marry
into another rich family with your bad reputation. You'd better plan ahead."
"But it doesn't matter. If you can't survive at that time, we'll help you. If you ask us for help, we'll
definitely arrange a job for you and prevent you from starving to death."
When Jacob married into the Harris family, it had caused quite a stir in the Riverside City.
After all, Kaley was one of the four beauties in the city, who even ran a company. Many rich gentlemen
were chasing after her back then, but she actually married a nobody.
This had broken many men's hearts. They felt that Jacob wasn't good enough for Kaley.
Sure enough, Benjamin smiled when he heard Hogan's words.
Benjamin had once had a crush on Kaley, but she actually married Jacob. Therefore, Benjamin had
been depressed for a period of time.
Moreover, he didn't get along well with Jacob in college.
So of course he was happy to see Jacob being mocked.
He smiled, "Jacob, if such things really happen, you can come to me. We're classmates, so I'll try my
best to arrange a cleaning job for you in my department."
Hearing this, everyone became excited.
"Wow, that's good. The competition is very fierce. I've taken the exam many times, but I failed the
exams and had no chance to work in government department. Jacob, you're too lucky. Since Benjamin
said so, he'll definitely arrange a job for you. I'm really envious!"
Someone said in a mocking tone.
...
Truth be told, Jacob had lived in the universe for hundreds of years, and he had seen all kinds of
people.
However, he was still a little shocked now.
He sat on the sofa and waited for Aaron, but his classmates came to mock him just as they saw him.
Moreover, they became more and more excited.
What was wrong with those people?
"Excuse me, you guys are blocking the way."
Just as they were mocking Jacob, a voice came from behind them.
Who was that?
Everyone turned around to look at the person.
Benjamin was also attracted by the sound and turned around.
He had just been appointed as the section chief of the Riverside Municipal Food and Drug
Administration, and now he was very happy and proud.
That was why he gathered some of his classmates. Did he really care about the friendship with his
classmates?
No, he just wanted to be flattered.
He felt so happy when seeing that his classmates curried favor with him and mocked Jacob.
But someone actually asked them to make way.
"Who are you? The road is wide. Why did you say we were in your way?"
Someone said discontentedly.
'Don't stop us from flattering Benjamin.'
However, Benjamin froze when he saw the person.
Behind them was Benjamin's leader.
The director of the FDA in the Riverside City, Aaron, and his wife.
Benjamin silently scolded his classmates who were blocking the way, and then greeted Aaron with a
smile, "Mr. Watson...."
However, Aaron ignored him.
He passed Benjamin and walked towards Jacob, "Mr. Reyes, I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting!"
