Chapter 337 - Know Thy Enemy

"Why am I here?" JK asked again although he already knew why.

"I just wanted to ask you a few questions," Jacob replied seriously making him look cold and intimidating.

"If you want to ask me questions why do you have to detain me?" JK was doubting what he heard.

But Jacob chuckled. "It is more convenient for me to have you here." Then he smiled smugly. "What do you want from my wife?" Jacob turned serious again.

JK was known to be cheerful, arrogant and aggressive, but this time he looked to be in an intense trepidation.

"Wh-what are you talking about? Why would I want some other person's wife? I could have any woman if I wanted to why would I waste my effort in some other's wife?" JK was panicking but still managed to be arrogant.

Jacob's expression turned grim. He could just break this man's neck anytime if he wanted to but he controlled himself. He wouldn't enjoy doing that. So, he looked at James gesturing him to speak.

James understands and took out an envelope and passed it to JK. JK took it out of curiosity. When he saw what's inside, his eyes widened.

All the while, Jacob was leaning on his chair with his elbows resting on the armrest and hands clasped together in front of him. He was watching JK's every change of emotion.

"Mr. Ivanov, ever since Miss J or Black Heiress first stepped into the Lotus City Motor Speedway, you started investigating her identity. Why is that?" James asked after seeing JK's reaction.

JK was taken aback. How did they found out that he was investigating her? But, after a minute, he calmed down and thought of an excuse. "Well, you can't blame me. Ever since she joins the race, she has always been hidden in that helmet. Everyone was curious and I am no exception. Everyone did their own investigation and I was one of them. If you are detaining me because of that then why don't you detain others as well? It's not like you will ever found each of them." JK smirk after successfully justifying his actions.

Jacob became irritated. "You didn't find anything yet, you persisted for five years. What was your intention?"

"She's my greatest competition so, I had to find out everything about her. There's a saying 'Know Thy Enemy', and that's how you win a battle. I am pretty sure that your wife did this as well." JK continued defending himself.

"Indeed, she did investigate you. But you investigating her is different. The fact that she is hiding her identity means she doesn't want anyone to know about it. So, you have to respect it. But your persistence irks me that made me think there must be a reason for you to be annoyingly obstinate. Am I right?" Jacob said.

"Damn it! It is you who is annoyingly obstinate. I said I just wanted to find out her identity. Nothing else!" JK this time lost his composure.

"Is that it?" Jacob gave him a smug smile.

"What do you mean is that it? Of course, that's it!" JK didn't give in to Jacob's intimidating aura although his hands are starting to be sweaty.

"Okay," Jacob replied which made JK surprised. That's it? Did he believe me? He thought internally. But, before he could smile in victory, he heard him speak again.
