Chapter 157 - Cast my ashes in the sea

"Okay, do what you think is necessary," Jacob said to Daniel. Then he turned to look at Lance. "Do you have any suspects?"

"Actually, Miss J and I have been suspecting two persons. But we don't have any pieces of evidence. So, it was purely instinct. First, CEO David Hart of Food Corp. International. The first letter was sent one month after Miss J was able to acquire a total of 22% of Food Corp. International. Since then, the shareholders and the board of directors of Food Corp. International has been wary of me." Lance said with a cocked head.

"Uhm... May I just ask? Why would Miss J acquire up to 22% of Food Corp International? The Hart Family got 24%, one more move and you will be able to topple them from their position. They would definitely get wary of you. I thought you wouldn't get too much as long as you think it is already enough?" James who has all been there silently taking out notes can't help but ask.

J rolled her eyes. "Ehem... Because she doesn't like the wife of CEO David. She just wanted to pissed them." Lance said with a grin.

Jacob frowned and with a raised brow he turned to look at J and asked. "And why is that?"

J didn't look at Jacob, avoiding his eyes she replied with, "Is there a law that says you cannot 'not like' someone without a reason? I just simply don't like her."

Everyone except Lance and Diana was dumbfounded. Jacob never expected that his wife could be this shallow. Hating a person without a reason and threatening them with their position just to pissed them is simply childish.

"I won't be surprised if one day you'll die because of your childish act," Jacob said with a grim expression.

"Well then, please take care of my shares and my cars. And I want to be cremated, and my ashes should be cast out in the sea in front of Lodgepole Estate." J said then gave Jacob a coy smile.

"Jenny Do-Parker!" Jacob was outraged.

"Oops... sorry." J who seemed to realized what she had just said bit her lower lip and looked at Jacob apologetically. J rarely joke around but when she did it was always either off the charts or out of place. And this time, it was out of place which made Jacob called her in her complete name in fury.

At that moment the temperature in the room seemed to drop and it's getting colder as time goes by until the meeting comes to an end.

"The other suspects are Lee's. The Lee's are the biggest shareholder of Crocus Offshore Oil Rig. And the Old man Lee is currently the Chairman and CEO of Crocus Offshore Oil Rig. The family is known to be aggressive when it comes to their opponent. The second threat I received just after we successfully acquired 12% of Crocus Offshore Oil Rig six months ago. But we have been working on it more than a year ago and the Lee's are very much aware of that."

"Just how much does Lee's owned?" James asked.

"Currently they own 30%," Lance replied.

"12% is way too far from 30%. Why would you think that they would be wary about it?" James asked again. Working as an executive assistant he has to be aware of how the business works.

"Because Miss J aggressively bought that 12% from 3 different shareholders at one go."
