Chapter 1559: Chapter 1559: No Profit, No Getting Up Early
Jacob Powell suddenly lowered his voice, "Dad, I know what youâre thinking, and I have an idea that might change grandmaâs opinion of Xaviera."
Robert Powellâs eyes lit up instantly, "Whatâs the idea?"
"But this idea might... make Xaviera suffer a bit." Jacob pretended to be hesitant, but in his heart, he had already made up his mind.
"Let Xaviera suffer a bit?" Robert Powell looked puzzled but then confirmed, "As long as it can bring Xaviera back to the Powell family and return to Yittaland with me, to become the esteemed daughter of the Powell family, it doesnât matter if she suffers a bit. Xaviera should understand our intentions."
Jacob felt a little nervous inside, echoing, "Yeah! As long as Xaviera can come back and reunite with our family, itâs worth it to suffer some grievances and hardships. She definitely wonât blame us."
They were blood relatives, and Xaviera should want to live with them. So... it shouldnât be a problem for her to suffer a bit, right?
Just as Jacob took a deep breath, preparing to voice his thoughts â
The assistant rushed in, panting, "Mister, Mr. Mamet, that... "
"Whatâs the matter?" Jacobâs words were suddenly interrupted, and he was a bit unhappy.
"Jayden Woods is back in Libanan." The assistant caught his breath and continued, "He just got off the plane and has announced that he will develop his business in the country from now on!"
Jayden Woods!
This name hasnât appeared for a long time, but hearing it again still made Jacobâs heart skip a beat, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, "Why did he suddenly come back?"
A man of the Powell family changed his last name to Woods. Jacob thought he was a waste, but Jayden Woods had unknowingly taken control of the Woods Groupâs business. However, Jayden had long lost contact with them, and both sides had developed independently. Now that he had his own business in Hariton, why did he suddenly return?
After Sirâs death, the two Powell brothers developed independently; one branch inherited the title in Yittaland and developed their own company, while Jaydenâs parents had always managed the company together with the Woods family in Libanan.
Now that Zara Woods was dead, all of the Woods familyâs shares were in Jaydenâs hands, and everyone thought he was competent and of good character, but Jacob felt that Jayden was not to be underestimated. On the surface he was gentle, but his eyes hid too many emotions, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, waiting to strike when you least expect it and put an end to your life.
Jayden Woods wasnât one to act without profit; his return to Libanan must have a special purpose.
Robert Powell, who always had simple thoughts, didnât think too much about it. Instead, he sighed, "Jaydenâs parents passed away a long time ago, and heâs quite pitiful. Itâs good that heâs now willing to come back to his hometown to develop, at least heâs familiar with the environment."
Jacobâs face suddenly darkened, did Jaydenâs return have something to do with Xaviera Evans?
Back then, Zara established the clothing brand âBright Dayâ in Libanan. It was a transaction made between Jayden and Caleb Mamet, and the two seemed to have been in touch ever since, so they were allies?
The relationship between them was too complicated to be untangled. Jacob pressed his temples to clear his mind. Although he didnât know the intention behind Jaydenâs actions yet, he at least understood that Jaydenâs return this time must involve a significant move.
More important than Jayden right now was Quinn; her body was about to give out. He needed to obtain Xavieraâs blood as soon as possible.
Jacob sat by the bedside for a while and then headed to the study to call Xaviera.
Meanwhile, at Lowen Clubhouse.
The phone rang, and Xaviera glanced at the number, only then realizing that it seemed to be from Jacob.
She had heard that Quinn Powell was sick and that Jacob must be anxious right now. Suddenly calling her, could it be for...
Xaviera immediately understood; her blood had saved Quinnâs life five years ago. Now that Quinn had fallen ill again, Jacob couldnât help himself and had to ask her to give Quinn a blood transfusion.
Quinn had repeatedly plotted against her, and now they wanted her to donate blood to Quinn. No normal person would agree to such an unreasonable request.
Xaviera had already guessed what Jacob would say, so she didnât want to listen anymore; she hung up the phone directly, blocked the number, but soon after, the landline at Lowen Clubhouse rang.
Sam picked up the phone, "Hello, who is this?"
The other partyâs tone was clearly impatient, "Is Xaviera there? Let her answer the phone."
