Chapter 1787


    Jacob was cradling the little girl with one arm while using the other to pull out his phone, sending a


    video to himself


    In the dimly lit bar, a group of people sat together, drinking and chatting.


    “You guys know about the Erica stuff, right?” A man, his arm around the waist of the woman next to


    him,ughed teasingly.


    “Who in the world doesn’t know about it? Shawn, didn’t you juste back from abroad? Did Erica


    really just ditch her feelings for Jacob and run off to marry someone else?”


    The camera wobbled for a moment, the picture blurring.


    Then Shawn’s face, shrouded in smoke, gradually became clear.


    Shawn had a look of disdain on his face, sneering. “You guys believe everything you read online? I’ve


    known Erica for years, how could I not see her true colors? She’s nothing but a gold-digger!”


    Shawn stared at the video on his phone, his face going pale.


    *Jacob 1


    Rosalynn was already annoyed, even without seeing the video, just hearing the voice was enough.


    “Why do you despise her so much?” Jacob asked Shawn, word by word.


    Shawn’s face turned even paler, blurting out, “It’s because she strung you along for years then turned


    around and married someone else without considering your feelings, that’s why I said that!”


    1s that really the case?” Jacob’s tone cooled.


    Shawn started breathing heavily.


    Shawn, feeling guilty, mmed his hand on the table and stood up, “Jacob, we’re friends. Are you


    really going to do this to me?”


    “Don’t do this!” Shawn’s wife quickly tried to calm him down.


    Jacob looked at the anxious woman, “Has anyone ever told you, you look a bit like Erica?”


    “Jacob!” Shawn eximed.

    Jacob gave a smallugh, “To be precise, you look a bit like Erica from ten years ago.”


    The woman sat there, a buzzing sound in her ears, then she nced at Shawn.


    “What’s going on?”


    “Don’t listen to Jacob’s nonsense, take the kid and wait for me in the car. The food here isn’t great, I’ll


    take you guys to another restaurantter!”


    The woman hesitated for a moment, her gaze suddenly shifted to Rosalynn, then she stood up to pick


    up her daughter.


    “I’m not leaving, I need peel The little girl started to cry


    Jacob remained unmoved, letting the woman leave with the crying child.


    The room fell into silence.


    “What are you two up to?” Rosalynn leaned back in her chair, her gaze shifting between the two men,


    one cold, the other agitated.


    “Right!” Shawn suddenly mmed the table, startling Rosalynn, 1 used to have a crush on Erica, but


    after I saw her true colors, I lost interest. And my wife looks nothing like her!!”


    As he spoke, Shawn paced nervously, scratching his head, “Jacob, you don’t think I’ve been holding a


    grudge against Erica because I still have feelings for her, do you?”


    “After her photos with that rich businessman started circting online, we broke up.” Jacob looked at


    Shawn, “Have you forgotten about the candlelit dinner and the boat full of roses you arranged for her?


    Did you forget about what you confess to her?


    Rosalynn was in shock.


    Shawn froze


    “Did Erica tell you this? She told you?!”


    “Erica is downright nasty!”
