Chapter 659 Falsehoods

"This is not a good idea either. If you do this, Spencer will still come out and fight back. The public will not know the truth and will only be suspicious of you." Jacob rejected Nia's idea.

"He wouldn't dare. We now own shares in Amasun Group, and he's already starting to get scared," Nia said affirmatively.

"That's not a sure thing. Unless..." Jacob drawled, as if he were a fisherman waiting for a fish to bite the bait.

Sure enough, after hearing "unless", Nia became impatient and asked, "Unless what?"

On the other end of the phone, Jacob casually crossed his legs and said something that bordered on callousness in his relaxed tone,

"Unless you release that video to the public. In that case, even if Spencer hasn't been convicted by the law, in the public's mind, he has already been convicted. No matter how much he tries to deny it, he can't change it."

Nia's heart skipped a beat when she heard Jacob's words. She was like struck by lightning and asked Jacob in disbelief, "You said, you want me release the video to the public?!"Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

It was a video that she was being raped and tortured! How could he say that!?

Nia's intense reaction was anticipated by Jacob, but he didn't care. Instead, he continued to lobby her in a calm tone,

"Nia, calm down. Of course, I've thought about this before. First, you have to get a technician to mosaic your image in the video, and then use the excuse of a technical flaw to spread the video. That way, the public can see Spencer's hypocritical face, but it won't cause you any undue harm. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

"How can we have it both ways!" Nia roared excitedly, "Even if it's a mosaic, everyone still knows that it's me! How am I supposed to face them in the future!"

"Nia!" Jacob was upset by Nia's resistance. He gave a loud shout, and after Nia was quiet, he continued,

"Do you think you still have a reputation? Just like me, I'm notorious now, and nothing good ever comes of Spencer. We have to give up something if we're gonna make it big, even if it means dragging him down with us! I thought you already knew that?!"

"But..." Although she was a little persuaded by Jacob, however, she still did not want to. She could be accused of being a mistress, of being greedy for power, but at least all of these things had never been made public. Now he wanted her to take the initiative to unfold the ugliest side in front of the public. How can he do this?!

"No excuse!" Jacob finally lost his patience. Nia's reputation was worth nothing to him as long as it was to get back at Spencer. He said stiffly,

"Do what I tell you! When you see Spencer scorned and reviled, you won't feel wronged."

Nia bit her trembling lower lip and couldn't make a sound for a long, long time.

Not getting a response, Jacob cursed in his heart how pretentious Nia was, while pretending to comfort her,

"Nia, look on the bright side. Since ancient times, winner takes all. Even the glamorous movie stars on the stage have countless rumors behind them. When we succeed, who will remember these? All they'll see is us standing on top and they'll look up to us. Will you remember that little bit of giving?"

"Jacob, am I your pawn, too?" Nia suddenly asked.

Jacob paused, then said,

"Nia, I've long said that the two of us are a community of fate. I can find other people to help me achieve the things that you can do today, but I didn't. I found you because you were also hurt by Lucia, Spencer, and the others. You have the same hatred and revenge as me. I've never treated you like a pawn."

Jacob's words touched Nia, and that was what he had said to her back then. They shared the same hatred, but... Nia hesitated for a moment before asking Jacob,

"If I am hated by everyone, will you accept me?"

Nia was a woman after all. In addition to coveting power and seeking revenge, she will long for her own happiness in the bottom of her heart.

On the other end of the line, Jacob was silent. He had managed to avoid the woman's emotional cues, but now she'd brought them up again. "Jacob?" Nia called out anxiously.

"Nia, it's not that I can't feel your feelings but I'm so focused on revenge right now. I don't have any freedom at all. I can't promise you anything, so I've been avoiding talking about it. But I hope that you can find happiness, and I hope that you can meet someone who truly loves you. If you don't meet him, or if there's really a day, I'm willing to be by your side."

As Jacob said these words, he got goosebumps. This lie was too disgusting.

After hearing Jacob's "warm" words, Nia relaxed, put her hand over her chest, took a deep breath, and made a decision,

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Just remember what you promised me today."

"Of course, I'll always remember," Jacob lied without hesitation.

After arriving in Chicago, Spencer didn't see Esmae as he had hoped. He knew that Esmae was in a rage, but the rejection of his visits was wearing on him.

It had been three days, and Esmae still refused to see him. Spencer finally lost his temper, and decided to break into Brown Manor and see her anyway, only to find that on his way to Brown Manor, Esmae's servant got in touch with him, told him to come right over. Spencer was so excited and said,

"I'll be there in half an hour."

"Yes, as soon as possible, please."

Esmae suddenly asked to see him, and Spencer, who was so happy that he didn't even think twice about it, rushed to Brown Manor in a hurry to get his emotions in order before entering the mansion. He released the grievance from the bottom of his heart and wanted to clear his name in front of Esmae later.

As he entered the lobby, Spencer saw Esmae sitting on a couch. He hurried over and pretended to be aggrieved,

"Ms. Wilson, you're finally willing to see me. Please give me a chance to explain."

"Sit down," Esmae said, glancing at Spencer and motioning for him to sit down across from her.

Spencer sat down and began to complain about his grievances without waiting for the servant to serve him tea.
