Chapter 139


    Jacob received a warm wee from the Zellers. He drank until he was bloated.


    “Everyone, please excuse me. I need to use the bathroom.”


    Feeling tipsy, Jacob made an excuse and left the living room to get a breather.


    He had just got out of the house when his phone rang suddenly. It was a call from his father, Elias.


    Jacob hesitated. He thought his father wanted to remind him to stay away from the Zeller family. It took


    him some time before he answered the call.


    Elias ryed his orders to Jacob excitedly, “Jacob, the Zeller family somehow managed to ride on the


    big shot''s coattails. Paradise Hotel stopped finding fault with them, and their littlepany has been


    slotted into the urban renewal project in Southvale. This isn''t an easy feat. You''ll have to make Ms.


    Zeller fall for you so our family can ride on their coattails, too.”


    Jacob jolted awake after hearing Elias'' words.


    “Don''t worry, Dad. Leave it to me. The Zeller family was just asking me about it. Besides, Megan is


    already in love with me. I can use this information to gain their trust!” Jacob responded earnestly.


    He no longer had to hold back now that his father was on his side.


    After chatting briefly with Elias, he scurried back into the living room eagerly.


    “Jacob, I told you to call your dad and find out if he can slot us into the urban renewal project in


    Southvale, right? Have you called him?”


    Megan thought they had enough to drink. As soon as Jacob took his seat, she hastily changed the


    topic to divert everyone else''s attention.


    Seemingly stumped, Jacob said, “Megan, only selectedpanies are qualified to join the urban


    renewal project in Southvale. Mr. Zeller''s Zeller Group might be somewhat influential in Norham, but in


    some areas, it''s still not up to standard.”


    Glen put on a serious front when the project was mentioned.


    “Is there no other way?” Glen questioned. He wasn''t about to give up easily.


    The other Zellers cast anxious looks at Jacob as well.


    After all, this concerned their interests.


    “Well, not really. You know my dad is well-connected, right? I need a valid reason to persuade him to


    use his connections,” Jacob added.

    Slowly, he was leading the Zeller family into the trap he had dug.


    “A valid reason?” the Zellers repeated in puzzlement.


    “Mr. Zeller, you and my dad aren''t very close to each other. If we ask for his help once again, I''m afraid


    he''ll refuse. After all, he doesn''t want to owe too many favors. However, if the Zeller family and the


    Simmons family have a marriage of convenience, my dad will dlye to his inws'' aid,” Jacob


    exined smoothly.


    He didn''t even bat an eysh when he announced his idea.


    Beside him, Megan gave him a thumbs-up silently.


    “Well...” Glen fell into a dilemma.


    The Campbell family and the Zeller family had arranged their children''s engagement many years ago.


    The Campbell family was currently in decline. They were still struggling to recover. The Zeller family


    would be regarded as heartless if they broke off the engagement right now.


    However, Glen''s wife didn''t share his sentiments.


    “Hubby, this concerns our family''s future. You''ve done a lot for the Campbell family over the years. We


    don''t owe them anything. You don''t want to regret your pedantic actions, do you?” she stated.
