Chapter 428 - Lily’s Back

But they were startled when they heard Jacob clapped his hands. "So! Let's do the math." He said with a smug smile.

"My grandfather still owned 10%, my father owned another 10% and I and my two other siblings owned 5% each. Plus, with the addition of my wife's 20%. That means our family owns 55% of the CLP Group of Hospitals."

"So, Mr. Ivanov, if you were not sleeping when your grade school teacher taught you math. We would agree that 55% is greater than 26%. Oh…my bad. Because just earlier you found out that you were scammed. So that makes you 10% less fortunate." Jacob said with an evil smile. Then he turned to look at his father.

"Are my calculations correct?"

"So, what is this meeting for again?" Jacob asked with a dimpled grin.

After making sure that everyone has left, Jacob called James. "Makes sure that Mr. Pablo and his lawyer were well compensated." J heard it and her suspicions earlier were confirmed.

She has perceived that Jacob must've planned the downfall of Stella and JK dragging their family with them. Jacob is known to be ruthless, using his drive, determination, and a sharp mind to achieve whatever goals he set for himself.

He set this trap for Stella and JK and they stepped on it without hesitation.

After the meeting, Jacob decided to go home along with J. Since Arthur left for two days, Daniel drove them home while Stefan and Felix followed them. Upon reaching the Evergreen Villa, J shooed away Daniel and Felix.

Ever since Hannah gave birth to a daughter, Daniel was much eager to go home. Thanks to J, this has become possible. While Felix was also eager to go home because he knows that his wife would be waiting for him at home. Although there were some nights that Emily can't be home because she has a flight, her schedule is much better than before.

That leaves only Stefan to stay at Evergreen Villa with J and Jacob.

"I'm back!" They were having dinner when they heard a gleeful voice of Lily echoing in the whole villa. "Where is everyone?" Lily asked since she cannot find anyone in the villa, thou J, Jacob and Stefan who were in the dining area can hear her.

Finally, Lily appeared in the dining area. And she is not alone. She has Lance with her. So, that's why Lance was so eager to leave the meeting earlier because he is going to pick up Lily at Mt. Celandine.

J raised her brow at Lance while Jacob gave the two newcomers a grumpy look. Stefan, on the other hand, ignored them and continue his dinner after just taking a glance at Lily and Lance.

"Why are you here?" Jacob said with his grumpy mood. He really hates it when Lance appears in his house maybe because he knew that Lance has been part of most of his wife's life and that he probably has a spot in J's heart. Thou he knew that there is nothing romantic between him and his wife and that Lance is now his sister's boyfriend, he still can't help but get jealous of him.

"Uhm…I just finished filming in Mt. Celandine so I am back. Didn't you tell me to stay with you for the meantime?" Lily said awkwardly. Lance is still standing behind her holding her suitcase.

"Go back to your apartment." Jacob decided then to send Lily back to her apartment. Because he knew that if she continues to stay at Evergreen Villa, that would mean Lance will be coming there as well more frequently. And that thought annoys him. And J knew what her husband is thinking just now and she can't help but be amazed by Jacob's reasoning.

"Really?!" Lily can't hide her excitement. But she noticed her brother's warning look so she tried to remain calm despite wanting to jump around. "Oh…Okay."

J smiled. "You should eat dinner first since you are already here," J said then asked Lulu to bring another two sets of plates for Lily and Lance. Jacob gave J a disapproving look but J only replied with a smile.
