Chapter 588 - Hell is Better Than Earth

As expected from a wine aficionado. Jacob thought to himself.

"Whatever reason you called me here for, I hope that you will not beat around the bushes because I have to go back home as soon as possible. My wife is not used to sleeping without me beside her."

As soon as he was seated, the first thing he did is ostentatiously flaunt his marriage to the woman whom the man in front of him is coveting.

Alex's grip on the wine glass tightened as the wine room seemed to become stuffy.

Alex scoff, if it wasn't for J, he wouldn't waste time meeting this person. He could actually protect her on his own but Jacob's men were stringent in protecting her not letting anyone suspicious, more so, a member of Novus Rex get near her.

He just needed to warn them of Senator Rizza's evil plan but that doesn't mean he will just watch on the sideline.

He will protect her even from the distance. He will protect her in his own way. Even if it means that his effort will go unnoticed and won't be given any credits. As long as she is safe. As long as she will live.

"You think highly of yourself. She had slept every night for 30 years without you in it. I am sure she can still sleep every night for another 30 years without you." Alex paused intentionally and glanced at Jacob. "Or maybe with another man." He continued with a smirk.

After saying that, the temperature in the wine room dropped to a certain degree. Jacob is giving Alex an icy glare which the latter ignored and seemed to be unaffected.

"I hope you didn't call me here to ask me to leave my wife because I am telling you, that's not going to happen even if you kill me," Jacob said in a deep and murderous tone.

Alex snickered as he put down the wine glass on the teak table. "I am not going to waste saliva and beg for you to leave her. Why would I when I can make her leave you."

Jacob laughed half-heartedly but his gaze is murderous. "I applaud your conviction Mr. Ogden but my wife is too in love with me to leave me."

This time, Jacob noticed the twitch on Alex's lips and his jaw tensed as if he was suppressing his anger.

"Now what do you want?" Jacob said with a grave expression. He has already emphasized his position in J's life so that Alex Ogden will realize that it is pointless to talk him out of leaving J.

But Jacob doubts if that was the reason. His instinct tells him it was something else.

"I know you've been watching my every move, so I assume that you know that Senator Rizza met me earlier today," Alex said after he calmed down his anger.

"I am not surprised that she comes to you, it seems like she's been going around the city whoring herself," Jacob said not hiding his disgust towards the woman.

"Aside from whoring herself to you. What else does she want?" Jacob continued, he already has an idea what the Senator wants from Alex.

Alex is operating an assassin for hire group. The Senator is in a grave situation and knowing her and her family's reputation, they were vengeful people. They would probably hire someone to avenge her.

What makes Jacob unease is, who is she going to take revenge?

"She hired a group of an assassin to kill Jenny," Alex said in a grave expression after emptying a glass of wine.

There was dead silence in the wine room. It became stuffy that if anyone enters might get suffocated. While the aura emanating from the two devilishly gorgeous men turned icy and murderous.

"That woman is playing with the devil," Jacob said glaring at the steel wine rack behind Alex. He was threateningly calm and compose. But his eyes are brewing with a storm.

He downed a glass of wine that he poured earlier. "I'm going to play with her game and make her wish that she lives in hell than on earth."

Jacob stood up and looked at Alex. "Tell your men to not interfere because I will not spare them." He knew that Alex cannot deny the Senator's request to hire some of his assassins because if he did, the Senator might suspect him of protecting Jenny and it will make her more furious of her.

When he is about to leave the wine room, he heard Alex speak. "Just so you know, and don't get me wrong, I am not asking permission here. I will send my own men to protect Jenny and if worse comes to worst if the opportunity comes, I might personally kill that wench." Alex said calmly as if he was not threatening to kill a woman.

"Do what you want but do not expect anything in return," Jacob said glancing at his shoulder pointing out that whatever Alex does for J, he will not give her to him.

"And I want that wench alive. Killing her is not enough." There was a glint in Jacob's eyes and Alex already knows what he means. But he cannot promise that he will not do anything to that Senator.
