Chapter 82 Two Little Bunnies


    Susan did not seem to be lying, and Seth knew that Julian did keep a ce in the corner of his


    heart for somebody. That person had been in his heart for a very long time, but Susan had just


    married him one year ago, so it was apparent that the person was not Susan.


    When he thought about this, Seth''s gaze wasced with sympathy when he looked at Susan once


    more.


    She married a man who had another person in his heart. There was no woman in this world who


    could tolerate something like this.


    "Besides, it''s Madam Shaw who chased Jacob and me out. Madam Shaw thinks I''ll drag the Shaws


    and Julian down if I continue to be the Shaw''s daughter-in w. I guess she will force Julian to


    divorce me soon," Susan continued in a leveled voice. "Since we''re destined to be separated in the


    end, I guess it''s better for us to stop seeing each other now."


    After listening to what Susan said, Seth began to waver.


    He knew Madam Shaw very well. She was a domineering woman, and she never allowed people to


    say no to her. Once she made up her mind, no one could make her change her decision anymore.


    If Susan returned to the Shaws, Seth reckoned that she would not have a good time there either.


    "I''ll only continue after you agree to the first requirement. If you don''t promise us, then we will leave


    now." As Jacob was talking, he had already risen to his feet.


    "Hold on!" Seth grew anxious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you. I won''t tell Julian


    that you guys are here."


    It was only then that Jacob returned to his seat.


    "Do you still have other requirements?" Seth asked, i


    Pressing his lips into one line, Jacob spoke hesitantly as he did not know how Seth would react to


    the next thing that he wanted to say. "I’ll allow you to work with me to develop the system, but you


    have to give m e half a million within one year."


    The reason why he wanted half a million from Seth was because he wanted to pay back the debt


    that he owned Madam Shaw.


    He also wanted Madam Shaw to apologize to Susan.


    "Half a million?" Seth was shocked.


    "Jacob, this is too much," Susan was taken aback as well.


    She did not know anything about coding or programming, but was a system really worth that much?


    Jacob had no idea about the ins and outs of the market as well. He frowned. "Is that too much?


    Reduce it by half, then."


    Seth did not know what to say. "Reduce it by half?"


    "Yeah, 250 thousand dors. I can''t go any lower," Jacob said seriously.


    Susan thought her brother had gone overboard when she saw the shocking expression on Seth''s


    face. She hastily went forward and apologized, "I''m sorry, Seth. Jacob is not familiar with these


    kinds of things."


    Seth rolled his eyes. Then, he said, "Well, I can see that even if you don''t tell me. Seriously, you two


    should thank god that you are dealing with me. If you were dealing with other people, I''m 100%


    positive that you wouldn''t know even if they were leading you up the garden path."


    "Why?" Both Jacob and Susan asked in chorus, looking at Seth with dewy eyes. 1


    Seth could not help but scratch his scalp when he saw their innocent eyes. "Ahhh! Can you two stop


    looking a t me like this? You guys are making me feel like I''m a big bad wolf trying to eat two little


    bunnies!" 1


    The two little bunnies continued to look at him puzzledly.


    Seth waspletely defeated. He rolled his eyes and said, "Wait here. I’ll go draft up a simple


    contract."


    The two little bunnies nodded obediently.


    After half an hour, Seth returned with three contracts.


    He handed them straight to Susan and said, "Here, help your brother have a look.”


    "Okay," Susan took over the contract and started browsing through it.


    The contract was about the cooperation between Seth and Jacob on the development of Jacob''s


    system. Jacob would handle the core technology, while Seth, i n addition to the technological part,


    was also responsible for other things such as promotion and front-end investment. After the system


    was sessfully developed, the revenue generated would b e split in a ratio of 6 to 4. Seth would


    take the 4 while Jacob would take the 6.


    "Let me know if you see any issues," Seth said.


    Jacob worked on the technology part while he contributed money. The revenue generated would be


    split by the ratio of 6 to 4. In Seth''s opinion, the contract was pretty fair.


    However, what he did not expect was that Susan had never been exposed to something like this


    before.


    With a worried expression, she looked towards Seth and asked, "We still need to invest money?


    What if the investment fails and we lose money?"


    ''There is no way this project would fail!’ Seth shouted inwardly.


    Seth did not know how to exin to Susan, so he just waved his hand. "It''ll be on me if that


    happens." "No, no, no, I can''t let you take such a big risk," Susan


    said.


    "Don''t worry. The risk is not as big as you imagine," Seth reassured. He was starting to regret


    asking for Susan and Jacob''s opinion. 1


    He snatched the contract away from Susan''s hand." You don''t have to think so much, just sign it. I''m


    Julian''s friend, so I won''t cheat you two."


    Seth signed his name and handed the contract to Jacob.


    "Susie?” Jacob did not take over the contract but turned to look at Susan first.


    Susan thought for a moment, and then said, "Let''s sign it, Jacob."


    Although she became acquainted with Seth not long ago, she had a hunch that he would not


    deceive them. As for the investment, if it came to the worst-case scenario, she just needed to work


    harder to pay back the debt.


    Compared to risk, this was her brother''s first system, and it meant a lot to him.


    Jacob nodded and signed his name on the contract, and only then did Seth let out a long sigh of


    relief.


    "There will be three copies of the contract. Both you and I keep one, and thest copy will be stored


    at the notarial office. Well, that''s it. May we have a pleasant cooperation," Seth said as he extended


    his hand.


    Jacob reached out for Seth’s hand, and he quickly retracted his hand after sharing a short


    handshake with Seth.


    "Will this contract earn me half a million?" Jacob asked as he looked on with clear eyes.


    Seth had been enduring the entire time, and he was o n the edge of going crazy. "Can you just stop


    mentioning half a million? If you really want 500 thousand dors, I can give it to you right now."


    "Nope, that''s not necessary. I''ll earn the money by my own hand," Jacob replied stubbornly.


    "Alright, alright." Seth looked at the contract in his hand and he was also moved.


    Initially, he only needed to spend 50 thousand dors and he could have the technology to himself.


    Now that he had signed the contract, he would lose about tens o f billions of revenue.


    The difference was really huge, and Seth felt that he was the kindest person in the world.


    "Are you okay? You look pale," Susan asked worriedly.


    Seth was hobbling along as he slowly rose to his feet. Grabbing his chest, he said, "It’s okay. My


    heart is aching since I just lost a great deal of money."


    Susan gave him a puzzled look.


    Seth was too tired to exin. "I''m living alone and there are a few guestrooms at the back. Pick the


    one that you guys love the most and make yourselves at home. I’m going to take a rest now."


    After that, he walked towards his room, swaying lightly from left to right.


    "I''m still skeptical about the things he said just now. I hope he’s not lying to us," Jacob''s voice


    wafted from behind into his ears.


    "Jacob, I think we shouldn''t shoot the moon. This is your first project, and we shouldn''t worry too


    much about the gain or loss. I believe that as you''ll earn more money along the way, Jacob. I’ll work


    harder as well," Susanforted.


    Seth tripped on his foot and he almost fell on the floor.


    He could not understand the thinking of the siblings. Besides, he was certain that if he were to go


    out right now and change the contract and pay Jacob a lump-sum of 500 thousand dors on the


    spot, Jacob would agree to it without any hesitation.


    Forcing down the demon that was whispering in his ears, Seth quickened his pace and walked into


    his room.

    He felt he should notarize the contract as soon as possible. Otherwise, he feared that he could not


    suppress the demon in his heart.
