Chapter 131: The Truth of the Unbearable Return
Jacob’s face took on a look of hatred, “I was the last to be interviewed, Amelia told me to hand over the list of important contacts for outreach, ports, and transportation.
My attitude is very clear and resolute, these they can not interfere, because it is all my personal circle of contacts, contacts are randomized. By its port, this is something I know by heart, and there can be no room for error. I was of the mind that I had to take care of this last hurdle no matter what.”
I totally understand how Jacob felt at that point. It was our lifeblood.
“Robert was pretty polite to me and didn’t take issue with my insistence. On the contrary, also valued my piece. After he personally had a long talk with me, he not only gave me a raise, but also arranged an assistant for me. Probably to convince me, this person he let me pick myself, and I picked a young man named Perry.”
I nodded, “This one rings a bell!”
“The lad was very much to my liking, resourceful, capable, and hard-working. At the time Amelia had a lot of respect for me too.” Jacob looked over at me, “Robert always asked Amelia to contact me and said that she could just account for some things.
I had realized by then that this Amelia was something else, and I always wanted to reach out to you to give you a heads up, but there was no answer to my countless calls.”
“By that time I was already sick and lethargic every day, and the phone had probably been controlled by Robert, or Amelia, for a long time!” I interjected, “Robert also took down my babysitter and spied on me, and even my kids wouldn’t come near me.”
“That’s right!” Jacob continued as if in a dream, shaking his head and sighing, “Since then, Amelia’s been giving me a bit of a hard time, causing me all sorts of trouble.
But what I didn’t expect most was that contraband was found in the goods, and they just logically put all the blame on me.
Amelia bitched that she had no knowledge of the sheet at that time, that I was the one who signed it, and that she didn’t even see the sheet that day. And checking the procedure sheet, I did sign the sheet that day, and I recognized the handwriting on it, it was definitely my notes!
There was also the shipment record of that day, only Perry and I knew about it. Perry flatly insisted that I was the one who told him to pick up the goods, saying that the list didn’t need to be reported to Special Assistant Wu. In this way, I didn’t have any room to defend myself. Just got caught in.”
Jacob’s face went white as he spoke, and after all these years, he was still like that, so you can imagine how he would have felt at the time.
I immediately said, “This has happened to me, and I signed an executive transfer agreement for Medikit Inc without realizing it. I have absolutely no memory of it! The handwriting is in my handwriting.”Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“There’s definitely something fishy going on here!” Jacob said with certainty, “I don’t even remember signing the shipping order that day, and I have no recollection of the time on it at all. But one thing is for sure, that Perry, was bought and paid for by them!”
Jacob kept shaking his head with a look of regret and helplessness, “I am very sorry, I am so optimistic about a young man, I do not understand … why he would do this.”
“You guys don’t have to think about it, there’s something called to hallucinogenics that you probably don’t know about.” Albert spoke up to, “This stuff will do just about anything the other person tells her to do with no memory of it. With the black market Steven is involved in, it wouldn’t be hard to have this in hand.”
“And what happened after that?” I asked with some trepidation. “How long were you in there?”
“I’d been in there for less than a year, but it was a year of constant beatings, new wounds picking up old ones, and I finally admitted it! But that’s how the nightmare began.” Jacob closed his eyes, and there were tears flashing there.
My nose was sore and I definitely didn’t want to believe that the Jacob in me was a man who could shed tears.
Jacob slowly opened his eyes, the corners of his eyes scarlet, “And so the nightmare begins!”
