Chapter 1571 Take The Initiative


    “The situation seems to have gotten a bit out of hand. Give me a second to think about it.“ The first


    thing that came to Darren''s mind was Bonnie, who was still in prison. He had trouble thinking of a n


    that would help her, so he pretended to be lost in thought and kept quiet for a while.


    Bill patiently waited while he looked at Darren from time to time. But the man in front of him was taking


    too long. Inevitably, he snapped.


    “Do you really have a n or not? For crying out loud, don''t waste my time here!“ Bill was so


    aggravated that he kicked the tea table in front of him. After that, he cracked his knuckles while ring


    at Darren.


    “Calm down for a second,“ Darren leisurely replied. After that, he raised his head to scratch his neck.


    Then, he continued exining. “Bill, I believe that we should take this opportunity to initiate our offense.


    It''s better to fight than wait for death in my opinion. Since Louis is currently gunning for us, let''s beat


    him to the punch. I''m sure he''ll never expect it.“


    “That sounds reasonable. Tell me what you have in mind,“ Bill replied while his eyes lit up like


    fireworks. The fact that there was finally a solution to his problem calmed him down.


    “The key,“ Darren confidently uttered.


    “What key?“ Bill asked in confusion. It took him a while to wrap his head around what Darren was


    talking about.


    With a serious expression, Darren replied, “Louis and Jacob are basically in the same boat. If we want


    the two of them to sink to the bottom of the ocean, let''s start with the weakest link first.“


    Even if Darren was confident about his n, memories of his past failures irritated him.


    If he really wanted to win this time, he needed to find something that Jacob had hidden long ago.


    Luckily, the man in front of him was the perfect person for that job. Bill would definitely turn every table


    in his path just to get rid of Louis.


    “If you didn''t know, Jacob has hidden documents regarding his shares of the HT Group in a measly


    bank safe. As long as we get those papers, you''ll have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life.


    We have to ept that right now, the two of us don''t have the necessary firepower to go up against the


    Ke Group and the HT Groupbined. But what if one of those groups was in our hands?“


    Darren was so proud of his brilliant n that he couldn''t stop smiling from ear to ear.


    Now that Darren had exined every detail, Bill smiled in content. With such a solid n, he quickly


    nodded in agreement with a grin on his face.


    If the HT Group belonged to them, Jacob wouldn''t be in any position to help Louis. And with Darren as


    his teammate, fighting a single foe was going to be a walk in the park.


    ''Two versus one, it will be a sure win!'' Bill thought to himself.


    With that in mind, all his fear regarding Louis quickly went away.


    “Then let''s go get that key!“ Bill excitedly eximed as soon as he was on board with the n.


    Darren calmly took a sip of tea and replied, “That should be easy, thanks to you. The key is hidden in


    Jacob''s home and he''s in the hospital right now...“

    Darren didn''t need toplete his sentence for Bill to figure out what they were going to do next.


    Feeling confident, Bill immediately agreed to sneak into the Tyrone Mansion, especially since Jacob,


    his biggest foe, would not be there.


    In just less than an hour, Bill had a clear vision of how to deal with his problems. As a result, he finally


    let out a sigh of relief. He couldn''t help tremble in excitement since the renowned HT Group was about


    to fall into their hands. With a smile, he said, “I''ll go back for now and get things ready.“ After that, he


    boldly pounded his chest and added, “Just sit there and rx. I can handle something like this by


    myself.“


    Darren leisurely nodded his head in agreement. But he still had a concern that Bill might let his


    emotions get the best of him, so he reminded Bill before he left, “Don''t forget. This is ourst chance. If


    we fail now, our lives will be on the line.“


    They were in a very dire situation and Darren wanted to make sure that Bill knew how important his


    task was.


    Getting rid of Jacob was already a giant undertaking. If Louis really got involved, Darren knew that he


    and Bill wouldn''t be able to hold out for long.


    “Don''t worry. I won''t fuck this up,“ Bill determinedly replied, and then left.


    Seeing Bill''s receding back made Darren''s serious expression ease up a little.


    Bill''s suspicions of him were right, Darren really was trying to set him up. But the situation at that


    moment was too critical, so thetter really needed to work with him. In his heart, Darren really hoped


    that Bill would get the job done without any hitches. Whether it was for himself or for Bonnie, who was


    still in prison, he hoped that Bill could bring back some good news, just like the news that Jacob had


    been hospitalized by a car ident.


    While Darren and Bill were nning for Jacob''s demise, Jacob was still lying in bed and recovering. He


    had absolutely no clue that a brand new target was at the back of his head. The only thing in his mind


    was how he was both happy and upset that the woman beside him didn''t want to leave his side.


    Looking at the busy little woman in the ward, Jacob helplessly sighed.


    He had told Emily several times that servants had already been arranged to take care of him so that


    she could go back and have a rest. But Emily was too stubborn and didn''t pay attention to his words.


    “Here''s some water. I just had a sip, and it''s not hot or cold. If you''re thirsty, drink some,“ Emily


    sincerely said while cing the cup on the bedside table.


    When she was about to sit down on the edge of the bed, she saw a fruit basket that had been sent by


    Louis and their other friends. With a smile, she quickly walked over to the basket and checked what


    was in it.


    She picked up two apples and went outside without saying a single word to Jacob.


    A few minutester, she came back with the two apples. They had been washed clean.


    “Since the doctor asked you to eat more fruit, I''ll peel one for you right now. Just wait a minute, okay?“


    As soon as she was finished speaking, she took out a knife from her purse.


    Since Jacob still had a hard time standing up by himself, he tried reasoning with Emily. “Hey, how long


    have you been awake? You should take a rest or you might end up in a hospital bed like me. Besides,


    I''m a man. I don''t need you to take care of me all the time.“ Right after that, he stretched out his hand


    and snatched the knife in Emily''s hand.


    “What are you doing?! Jacob, just lie down! You can''t move around yet. It might make your wounds


    open up, okay?“ Emily pleaded, freaking out. She stood up in a hurry, pushed Jacob down, and red


    at him. “Don''t you see how many bandages are wrapped around your body? You basically look like a


    mummy!


    And besides, the apples at home are always peeled and cut and you neverined about it being


    troublesome for me. So don''t start now just because you''re lying on a hospital bed.“


    Jacob didn''t know what to say anymore. Emily sounded just like his mother and he knew there was no


    point in reasoning with her. He wasn''t that badly injured anymore, but in Emily''s eyes, he seemed to be


    at death''s door. That was why she had been taking good care of him and hadn''t left his side since the


    moment he was admitted in the hospital.


    On the bright side, Emily''s caring nature was quite a pleasure to watch for Jacob.


    “Excuse me, it''s time to change the medicine,“ someone uttered from outside, following a knock on the


    door. Shortly after, two young nurses came in with something in their hands.


    Emily rolled her eyes as soon as they entered.


    From the moment that Jacob was hospitalized, she had quickly noticed that all the female nurses


    wanted to be assigned to her husband. She even saw one of the nurses praying to be the one to give


    him some medicine. Additionally, the task of changing the medicine only required a single nurse. But


    the fact that the hospital had sent two annoyed Emily. Either the hospital really cared for Jacob, or the


    nurses didn''t care about the protocols and just came in pairs.


    Under Emily''s hostile gaze, the two nurses did their jobs and didn''t try anything too obvious. That being


    said, Emily had keen eyes and could still see their subtle attempts to flirt with her husband.


    ''Hey, what are you looking at? Aren''t you here just to change the medicine?


    Why are you acting like a teenage girl? Just do your job!'' she irritably thought to herself.


    In Emily''s mind, there was no doubt that if she was not there that day, the nurses would have tried


    something more daring to try and win Jacob''s heart.


    Even though Jacob was married and had children, his reputation and gorgeous face caused countless


    women to still try to win him over. These women knew that they couldn''t be his legal wife, but as long


    as Jacob liked them, they knew they wouldn''t have to work for the rest of their lives.
