Chapter 1541 Made A Decision
After everything Jacob had said, Darren was just an inch away frompletely losing his temper. But
the thought that Bonnie was suffering entirely because of him forced him to control his anger. With that
said, Darren clenched both of his fists under the table and tried his best to calm himself down.
“I swear I won''t take revenge on the Gu Family. From now on, the Xu Family and the Gu Family will not
meddle in each other''s affairs anymore.“ Taking Darren''s whole life into consideration, this was his
biggest admittance of defeat. Even though he wanted to tear Jacob into pieces with his own hands, he
had to give up this fight for Bonnie''s sake.
Unfortunately, Jacob had very little reason to believe in Darren''s promise. As his rival, he couldn''t
believe a single word that came out of his mouth. ''Did Darren ever think of letting me go when he set
me up? How could he ask me to be so kind now?'' Jacob thought.
“Mr. Xu, do you really think I''ll let you off that easily? Everyone in the business world knows what kind
of man I am. I am a bully who will always seek revenge even for the smallest grievance. Anyone who
offends me can be sure that I''ll get them back. The fact that you want me to forget everything that
you''ve done to me and live the rest of our lives as if we''ve never known each other makes you a truly
naive man. Since I''ve known you, I''ve never feared going up against you.“
Jacob stood his ground. He made it very clear that he would never hand over Bonnie to Darren.
At that moment, Darren felt utterly humiliated. He lowered his head in embarrassment, something he
had never done since he was a child. Jacob''s words made him truly feel like he was a man incapable
of anything.
Darren finally understood why Jacob had agreed to meet him. From the very start, there were no deals
to be made. He was only there to add insult to injury and stomp on a man who was already on the
ground.
With this realization, Darren finally snapped. He rushed over to Jacob and punched him right in the
face.
Jacob was stunned and unable to dodge. He hadn''t expected that Darren would act this way. But
Jacob wasn''t a man who would back down from a fight. In a blink of an eye, he got back up and started
throwing punches of his own.
The two of them were the greatest businessmen in the city, but they fought like professional boxers.
Punches were thrown back and forth, leaving no room for each other to catch their breath. After a
while, Jacob had the upper hand. With hisst punch, Darren was knocked down to the ground.
Jacob suffered a few bruises on his face and body. On the other hand, Darren looked like he''d been
beaten up by more than a dozen men.

Knowing he had already won, Jacob picked up his coat and turned around to leave. But before doing
so, he looked straight into Darren''s eyes.
Then, he uttered the most cold-hearted words a man could ever hear.
“It''s quite unfortunate that Bonnie chose such a weak man as a lover.“
After that, Jacob strode away without looking back.
Darren couldn''t get up no matter how hard he tried. In his mind, Jacob''s words were absolutely right.
He was a useless man who couldn''t even protect the woman he loved.
“Ahhhhh! Oh my God! What happened here?“
A shrill scream suddenly came from a waitress when she peered throw the window of the private
lounge.
Realizing that the restaurant staff was about toe, Darren slowly crawled to a chair to sit on.
Since a single bottle of red wine was the only thing on their table, the restaurant staff worked quickly to
serve their food. Unfortunately, the fight was already over and the whole ce was in shambles before
they could arrive.
Standing outside the private room and seeing the mess inside, the staff were hesitant whether they
should go in or not.
Nobody knew how it had happened and why the guest inside was badly bruised.
Mustering up thest of his remaining strength, Darren shouted at Han, who was standing outside.
“Han, go pay the bill. I need to go home.“
Without wasting another second, Darren stood up and walked out of the restaurant. While driving
home, sadness suddenly overcame him. He couldn''t face the fact that he wouldn''t see Bonnie there.
When everything was settled in the restaurant, Han rushed to the manor as well.
As soon as Darren arrived at the manor, the image of Bonnie''s smiling face filled his mind. Every nook
and cranny of that house was filled with good memories with her.
When he realized that he was no longer going to be able to make happy memories with his loved one,
rage started to cloud his mind. Jacob''s mockery and his own ipetence kept shing through his
eyes.
Darren felt like a knife went straight through his heart. And the only way to ease that pain was to smash
everything in sight.
With sounds of ss breaking, every servant in the manor was filled with fright. No one dared to step
forward to stop Darren. Everyone feared that they would get hurt if they did so.
Han arrived at the manor a few minutester. When he opened the door, a terrifying image greeted
him. Almost everything was thrown to the ground and shattered into pieces. It was like the house had
been ransacked by a group of thieves.
Suddenly, Han heard more things breaking upstairs. Without hesitation, he ran as fast as he could to
check it out.
When he arrived, he saw his boss holding up a blue and white porcin vase that cost eight hundred
thousand dors.
He hurried forward and grabbed Darren''s hand. “Mr. Xu, don''t break that. That''s Miss Sun''s favorite
blue and white porcin vase. If you break it, what will you tell her when shees back?“
Han''s words were all made up in an attempt to stop Darren. He believed that the name “Bonnie“
would bring his boss back to his senses.
To his surprise, it actually worked. Darren stopped his destructive rampage and turned to the servants
outside the room. With a meek voice, he asked, “Is what he said true? Is this really Bonnie''s favorite
one?“
Han quickly winked at the servants, signaling them to say yes. One of them understood what he
meant and boldly came forward to answer Darren''s question.
“Yes, that one is Miss Sun''s favorite.“
Their wishes were granted and Darren finally regained his sanity. He gently held the vase with both
hands and carefully ced it on a table.
“Store everything in this room, especially this blue and white porcin vase. Keep it safe.“ Darren was
completely back to normal again, as if the anger and pain he had shown just now had never happened.
That being said, the servants were still so scared that they couldn''t utter a single word.
“Han,e with me.“
Darren calmly uttered while walking towards the study room. Han quickly followed.
When the two men left, the servants breathed a sigh of relief and began to clean everything that Darren
had destroyed.
Meanwhile, Jacob arrived home and also went straight to his own study room. He had a pretty obvious
bruise on his face, and he was afraid that Emily would ask him about it. His n to avoid that was to
pretend to be busy with work all night and only go to bed when she was asleep.
Unfortunately for Jacob, Emily was a keen woman. It didn''t take her much time to find out that he was
injured.
“How did you get hurt? And why did you hide it from me?“ Even though Emily was a little upset about
Jacob keeping a secret from her, she still deeply cared for him.
While she was waiting for his response, she applied some medicine on his face.
Jacob cleared his throat and replied, “I didn''t want you to worry, so I didn''t tell you. And besides, it isn''t
that big of a deal. It''s just a small bruise.“
Emily rolled her eyes at him and replied, “No matter how small, pain is still pain. So how did you get
this wound?“
Jacob thought for a while about whether he should tell her the truth or not. A few minutester, he
finally replied, “There''s this random guy that I offended long ago. He came today and punched me once
when I was in the parking lot. It didn''t end well for him because he was no match for me.“
Jacob decided it was better to hide the truth from Emily. He knew she would get mad since she was
good friends with Bonnie.
“Well, you should hire two more bodyguards to protect you. Although you''re a good fighter, you should
prioritize your safety. Especially since you have a wife and two children waiting for you toe home.“
Emily had very little reason to doubt Jacob at that moment, so she easily believed him.
After all, given how famous the Gu Family was, it was inevitable for them to have enemies. Jacob''s
words sounded quite reasonable.
When Emily was done tending to Jacob''s injury, the two of them kissed each other good night and
headed to bed.
The next day, Darren went to the police station early in the morning. He decided that the best thing he
could do was to just turn himself in.
While he was walking inside, his face showed the despair he felt inside his heart.
Even after thinking all night about ways to save Bonnie, he couldn''t find a way to do so. He couldn''t
bear to see her suffer anymore and decided he had to do something to set her free.
Promising himself to never let that woman suffer because of him, he willingly decided to turn himself
in.
