Chapter 670 Change of voice
"Are you Jacob?" Nia was on alert and ready to hang up the phone because it wasn't Jacob's voice on the other end of the line! "I'm the only one who has this number," Jacob whispered.
"Then why is your voice..." Nia looked at Kevin and saw that he was nodding his head, which made her hesitate to ask Jacob.
"Is it all different now?" Jacob asked, a little triumphantly.
Jacob was indeed proud that in order to change his voice, he had had to undergo voice modification, changing the shape of his vocal cords to change the frequency of their vibration, thus changing the thickness of his voice. If Nia can still hear it, then he had suffered in vain.
"It's totally different. If it wasn't for... I really thought it was someone else." Although Jacob's voice had changed, his tone hadn't changed. Nia finally relaxed and said in surprise.
"That's what I want," Jacob said to Nia, not trying to explain, but instead asking,
"Tell me what you've been doing all this time."
Nia sat down on a couch, took a deep breath, and told Jacob everything that had happened for the better part of a month, complaining unhappily,
"Why are those people so forgetful? It's only been a month, and they've already forgotten everything that Spencer did to me. It's all about him advocating public welfare and actively helping others. The magazine that he bribed even bragged about him being a great philanthropist. All the sacrifices that I made were in vain!"
Jacob comforted her,
"They're already realistic. Spencer hasn't collapsed yet. Although the stock price has plummeted, he still has a foundation. His network hasn't been cut off. Those people who seek influence from him won't abandon him so quickly. Furthermore, Lucia is still his fiancee. The Brown family behind them is still the target of everyone's desire. We still need to think in a long run before we can break his power." "So everything we've done has been for nothing?" Nia didn't want to acknowledge this fact at all.
"No way," Jacob said with a smile. "We can't kill Spencer, but through this incident, the public may seem to have forgotten, but Spencer's character has long been despised to the extreme. When he falls, many people will help us push him down. Besides, don't you own 10% of Amasun Group's shares?"
Nia felt a little relieved when she thought of the 10% share. She murmured, "That's true. When Spencer found out that I took Amasun Group's shares, his expression was absolutely amazing..."
"Isn't that right?" Jacob continued. "Revenge is a step by step process. We need to see him fall apart!"
"Yes!" After hearing Jacob's words, Nia's recent depression was relieved, and she finally remembered to tell him,
"Oh right, there's another thing. After Christmas, the Branch of Davonnis is about to start the development plan of industrial park in east part of the city. Arthur took over the entire project in one fell swoop. However, more than twenty days ago, he suddenly came to me and asked me if I was interested in participating in this project. He invited me to invest in it. What do you think?"
"Something's not right," Jacob said without thinking.
"I suspected as much, but it was hard to guess Arthur's real intentions, so I was waiting for you to contact me so we could discuss it."
"Did you ask him to his face?" Jacob asked after a moment's silence.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
"Yes, he meant it as simple revenge on Spencer," Nia said.
"It's not impossible," Jacob said, thinking. "Spencer has Lucia, and he's been putting up with Spencer because he's afraid of her. You're Spencer's public enemy number one, and just working with you is going to make Spencer very angry."
"So I'll say yes?" Nia asked hurriedly.
"But," Jacob said again, "Arthur is thoughtful. Is his aim that simple?"
"Jacob..." Nia was dumbfounded because even Jacob was hesitating. How was she going to make a decision?
Hearing Nia's helpless tone, Jacob laughed and said,
"It's okay. You can just say yes."
"Huh?" Nia frowned. Why was he being so decisive again?
"A few years ago, the government put the construction of the industrial park on the agenda. However, it hasn't been implemented yet. Therefore, once it's started, they will definitely give us the greatest support. It's a huge leap for the development of the company that we can invest in. There are only advantages and no disadvantages. Even if Arthur really has some ideas and we invest in it normally and do our part, what can he do to us?"
Jacob explained.
"You're right. We can't miss this opportunity," Nia said happily after hearing Jacob's words.
"I know it's been a tough time for you," Jacob said as he finished his business. He comforted Nia. "Just bear with it for a while, and then you'll be able to relax a little bit."
"Jacob?" Nia frowned again. Why did she think that Jacob was saying it which meant more that he said, "What do you mean?"
"I can't tell you yet," Jacob laughed. "You'll see."
Nia had always trusted Jacob, and when he said that, she stopped asking questions, and the two of them had a long, warm chat before hanging up. As soon as they hung up, Nia decided it was best not to delay, so she immediately contacted Kyle. It was through him that Arthur got through.
"Mr. Davies, I wonder if your offer of cooperation still stands?"
Arthur's lips curled up. The fish took the bait. "Of course," he said. "Have you made up your mind?"
"Yes, thanks to you, Stable Growth is willing to fully support this project. Let us know if you need anything in the future," Nia said humbly.
"You don't have to be so polite. Helping you is helping me," Arthur said again about getting back at Spencer. "Spencer is going to be looking for an opportunity to pressure you when he gets the news. Ms. Davidson, please be careful."
"Thank you, Mr. Davies." The more Arthur talked about Spencer, the more Nia felt comfortable since Jacob spoke up, so she said,
"Don't worry. I'm not going to make it easy on Spencer."
Arthur smiled. The two set a time to sign the contract and hung up. As soon as the call ended, Arthur called Lucia and waited for her voice. After calming himself down, he said to her,
"Nia took the bait."
"As expected," said Lucia, with a laugh.
