Chapter 1222
“I…”
Gia was unable to answer Jacob’s question.
Meanwhile, Tobias caught up with her.
“Hey, are you ditching me? I have a big wound on my head. They’re removing the stitches today, and
you’re ditching me?” he angrily questioned Gia.
Panicked, Gia looked around. Tobias’ head was still wrapped in gauze, but he could speak more clearly
now. He limped to the car and looked at the luxurious Mercedes G-ss before ncing inside.
Jacob frowned and rolled up the window on Abigail’s side right away. He got her to put on sunsses
and a cap before stepping out of the car. There was mockery and disdain in his eyes as he looked at
Tobias.
Jacob chuckled. “Are you not going to introduce us, Gia?”

Tobias also looked at Gia. “Wait, you guys know each other?”
Gia hesitated for a moment before answering. “H-He’s Jacob, my boyfriend. And this is Mr. Tobias
Chambers, the project manager from the Thompson Group’s film studio.”
“Mr. Chambers?” Jacob revealed a cryptic smile and extended his hand. “It’s a pleasure to finally meet
you, Mr. Chambers.”
Tobias nced at Jacob and shook his hand forcefully. He knew Gia had awyer boyfriend, but he
didn’t realize he was not only outstanding but also wealthy.
He wondered if there was something wrong with Gia. She left such an impressive boyfriend to be with
him!? Was it all about money? Did she want to secure a house from the Thompson Group?
Tobias cleared his throat and adopted a managerial tone. “Hello, Mr. Welsh. That’s quite the car you
have there! Why don’t you drop me home? I live in the Southern City District, not far from here, just
about 20 kilometers!”
Jacob scoffed. “Mr. Chambers, is there some misunderstanding?”
“What misunderstanding?” Tobias red at him, pointing at his head. “Look! Do you know who did
this?”
Gia grabbed his sleeve anxiously.
Jacob had a hunch about what was going on from their interaction. Considering the evidence he had
gathered, he had an idea.
“Don’t tell me my girlfriend did this?”
“Yes! She did!” Tobias scoffed, looking at Jacob. “Since you’re her boyfriend, you should take
responsibility! I’m not asking you for money. Just drop me home, alright?”
“Not a problem.” Jacob smiled and then nced at Gia. “Since Mr. Chambers requested it, do as he
says. In fact, I suggest you not only take him home but also stay with him to take care of him as
compensation for what you did.”
“You…”
Gia and Tobias were stunned. While they were at a loss for words, Jacob got back into the car, started
the engine, and drove away.
He even rolled down the window and yelled at them, “Mr. Chambers, get Gia to send you home! Don’t
worry. I’m an open-minded man!”
Tobias was shocked, and then he red at Gia. He ended up taking a taxi to the hospital, and now he
also had to take a taxi home.
“You bitch!” he cursed. “My life has been a mess since you entered it!”
“Tobias!”
Tobias ignored Gia and tapped on an app to call a taxi.
The ride arrived quickly, and just as Gia was about to get in, Tobias pushed her onto the ground.
“Go home by yourself!” He mmed the door shut, criticizing her. “Do you want to take advantage of
me again? Bitch, please!”

Zuko wore a satisfied smile as he opened the envelope and thoroughly read the documents inside.
“These are the pieces of evidence showing Tobias and Gia’s plot to sell thend,” he said, cing the
papers in front of Lina. “Do you have anything to add?”
She smiled and expertly retrieved more data from theputer.
After driving Gia out of the Thompsons, she had theputer Gia used screened. As expected, she
found valuable information.
“Not only are they scheming, but they’re already putting it into action,” Lina said. “Tobias hurry to find a
buyer, so he must be eager to make it happen.”
Zuko ced his hands on her shoulders gently. “Worry often clouds one’s judgment. We should take
advantage of this opportunity and catch him red-handed.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join &

“Huh?” Lina was surprised. “How do we do that?”
“When they’re making the deal, of course!” Toph walked in, showing his bright smile. “Don’t worry,
Pammy. My brother has everything ready!”
Lina looked at Zuko with adoration in her eyes.
“He’s greedy, so dealing with him is easy.” Zuko smirked. “He’ll definitely take the bait when a super
buyer shows up!”
“Are you going to be the super buyer?”
“Of course not.” Zuko smiled. “It requires acting skills. We’ll have a professional do it!”

A few dayster, a mysterious force suddenly appeared in Centrolis’ stock market.
A foreignpany called Aureneil Industrial emerged out of nowhere and took over the stock market.
They repeatedly informed the media about their intention to invest in Centrolis and find the best
candidate to coborate with. They were particrly interested in the profitable property business.
Everyone was curious about the mastermind behind Aureneil Industrial, and spections were rife.
Some thought they had the support of a consortium.
Others believed they were about to break the monopoly of the four families in Centrolis and be
the fifth.
Tobias felt uneasy as he sat in his office during these two days.
After some effort, he managed to obtain the phone number of someone insignificant from Aureneil
Industrial. He wanted to discuss a coboration, but the response disappointed him.
“Manypanies want to work with us, so get in line,” the person on the other end said.
Tobias’ foolishpetitiveness was triggered. How could he not get what he wanted?
He bragged in the call, “Tell your boss mynd is valuable. There’s nothing like it in the whole of
Centrolis! Moreover, the Thompsons are backing thisnd, so your boss won’t face any
consequences!”
