Chapter 559 - A Devil Himself

Jacob sigh. "Honey, Lily is a capable and talented woman. She has been in that industry for 10 years and become successful on her own. Never once she asked for our or anyone's assistance or support. She didn't even use her family's background. She came to where she is now by relying solely on her talent and capability."

Jacob continued speaking while stroking her back.

"Her relationship with a Board Member might slightly affect her reputation and career as there were people that were short-minded but it will not ruin her. People are smart, they knew how hard she worked for 10 years. In her current position, will she need anyone to back her up? No, I don't think so. And people would think the same way."

"Thou there might be some short-minded people that might cause quite a stir in her career but that can't be helped. It's the entertainment industry, sweetheart. It is as dirty as business and politics. People will intentionally find loopholes and try to pull her down."

"Their greatest critic is themselves. It is up to them if they let these people get in their relationship and ruin her career."

"Not that I don't care about my sister or her happiness, it's just that. I trust her. I trusted her for 10 years. Don't you trust Lance?" Jacob asked afterward.

J pondered for minutes. Jacob was right. Maybe she is just overthinking things. Maybe she is just worried about nothing. For years she relied on Lance's capabilities whenever she has problems that she can't solve on her own. If Lance has a way to solve her problems, of course he also has more ways to solve his problems especially now that it concerns the love of his life.

"Hmm... you are right. I almost forgot how capable Lance is although he doesn't seem so." J smiled.

The two fell into silence. J was exhausted and sleepy when they came home, but after watching the talk show, she seemed to have difficulty in falling asleep.

"Were you still buying shares of AM Entertainment?" Jacob asked.

"Yes," J replied, although they don't usually talk about each other's business and assets, she doesn't want to hide anything from him.

"I was just curious. You've now become one of the major shareholders of AM Entertainment. Why would you want AM Entertainment? Is it because of Alex Ogden?" Jacob asked out of curiosity. J started buying shares of AM Entertainment anonymously until she reached the point that she is one of its major shareholders, the others were Lance and Alex Ogden who is presiding the board as the Chairman and also the President and CEO.

J nodded her head. "Yes, I originally planned to just threaten him of his position."

Jacob changed position so that he is now facing her. "How about now? What are your plans?"

J looked into his eyes and shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. I have a feeling that he knows that I am one of the major shareholders of AM Entertainment. And if I continue threatening him, he might think that I am not serious in my offer of friendship to him."

J noticed that Jacob's face immediately darkens. "So, you are serious about that offering of friendship that you gave him?"

J reached out to stroke his cheeks with her palm. "If it means that he will give up his hope on me, why not?"

"You are dealing with a devil, you know that?" Jacob said as he tightened his arm around her waist pressing her closer to him.

J pursed her lips. "I have been dealing with you, so, you know, I'm kinda used to it," J said indicating that Jacob is also a devil himself.

Jacob narrowed his eyes on J. "Are you making fun of me Mrs. Parker?"

A smug smile appears on J's lips. "I am just saying that you are a devil as well. Can't you just acknowledge it as a compliment?"

"So, you want to be acknowledged as the wife of the devil?" Jacob asked being complacent.

"That depends on which devil you are talking about." She replied with a satisfied smile. She is enjoying teasing her husband.

"As if I am going to let another devil call you, wife," Jacob said then he positioned himself on top of her. "Now, why don't we just talk about our baby-making project since it seems that you don't have any plans on sleeping yet? Let's make our night productive."
