Chapter 472 Disclosure
Daisy kept speaking, seeming to not notice Aragorn and Gummidge's reactions. "I heard that Nicholas pursued Caroline all the way to Country Y, and ended up encountering a home invasion there. Charles was shot while saving Nicholas.
"Six years ago, Nicholas also went after Caroline, and he got into a car accident and broke his leg on the way."
Daisy paused for a moment, glanced at Aragorn, and then continued hesitantly, "Initially, I that it was all a coincidence, but ever since Caroline appeared, the Watson family has gotten into a lot of trouble, especially Nicholas. He's had several close calls, almost losing his life."
"And every time, it was because of Caroline." Daisy's words all pointed to Caroline being a jinx who was bringing bad luck to Nicholas.
Aragorn's brow furrowed tightly.
Daisy wasn't entirely wrong. If Nicholas had only had one accident, it could be chalked down to a coincidence. However, it had happened twice, and both times because of Caroline.
And who could guarantee that there wouldn't be a third time?
Aragorn didn't believe in this stuff before, but ever since the Watson family started having continuous troubles six years ago, he had no choice but to believe it.
That year, it was as if the Watson family had angered God; everything that could go wrong, did. He fell seriously ill, the Watson Group almost collapsed, and Nicholas was severely injured in a car accident.
All of this made Aragorn more inclined to believe that Caroline was the nemesis of the Watson family.
Gummidge was also startled by Daisy's words and looked helplessly at Aragorn. "Honey, we only have one son. We can't afford any more accidents."
"Mr. Lancaster, we found it." Alex walked into the office and placed a sheet of paper on the desk.
Gabriel glanced at it, and in an instant, his whole body was filled with murderous intent.
It was the blood test report from the day Sophia was sent to the hospital for low blood sugar, and the report showed abnormalities.
"The doctor said Ms. Kelly had special drug components in her body, but it wasn't too serious. She would recover after an IV."
So that was why Sophia looked like she had low blood sugar.
"Where did Sophia go that day?" Gabriel asked.
"She went to Blue End," Alex replied quickly.
Jake happened to live in Blue End.
So that day, Sophia went to see Jake and then fainted. What did Jake do to Sophia after she fainted?
Gabriel clenched his fists tightly. If Jake were standing here right now, Gabriel would definitely have punched him.
Gabriel's chest heaved as he tried to calm himself down and carefully recall the events of that day.
If Jake had really wanted to do something, he wouldn't have needed to send Sophia to the hospital. Besides, Sophia's condition had seemed normal that day.
Gabriel's grip on the paper tightened, crumpling the report.
He remembered what Sophia had said. If he told her that Jake had bad intentions towards her, would she believe him?
He smoothed out the crumpled report, but after a while, he crumpled it up again and threw it into the trash can.
He stood up and grabbed his car keys.
"Mr. Lancaster, where are you going?" Alex followed behind him.
"To Micro Circuit Group."
Gabriel stormed into Micro Circuit Group like Death incarnate. The security guards surrounded him but didn't dare to make a move.
Gabriel gave them a cold, sharp look and walked straight towards the elevator.
Alex followed close behind him. "Mr. Lancaster, you can't go in without an appointment."
Gabriel acted as if he hadn't heard.
The security guards stepped forward to stop him, and Alex got entangled with them while Gabriel entered the elevator and pressed the button to the top floor.
The elevator suddenly stopped on the tenth floor.
Gabriel stood there fearlessly, looking up at the corner surveillance camera with a contemptuous smile. "Are you scared?"
After a minute, the elevator continued to rise slowly. When it reached the top floor, the doors opened.
Jake was standing outside.
As soon as Gabriel saw him, he swung his fist and punched him.
Jake was caught off guard and took Gabriel's punch, but the next second, he clenched his fist and fought back.
The two of them started fighting, and it was hard to tell who was stronger.
However, Gabriel's body hadn't fully recovered yet, and he soon fell behind.
Matthew hurried over and stopped Jake's fist. "Mr. Hughes, calm down."
Gabriel's elbow pressed against Jake's neck as he coldly warned, "Don't think you can get away with just saying it was low blood sugar. Stay away from Sophia from now on!"
His glance issued an unspoken threat..
Jake pushed him away and gently touched his bruised face. It still hurt.
"Since you're here on Sophia's behalf, I won't hold today's incident against you. But there won't be a second time. Next time, I'll charge you with intentional assault."
Gabriel's gaze was like a knife, piercing Jake.
"Matthew, see him out." Jake turned around.
Matthew politely extended his hand. "Mr. Lancaster, please leave."
Gabriel gave Jake's back a deep, dark look.
He wouldn't let Jake off so easily. He would never allow Jake to have another chance to hurt Sophia.
Jake returned to his office, and after Matthew saw Gabriel out, he brought him a first aid kit. "Should we post the video of Gabriel storming into Micro Circuit Group and hitting people online?"
"Don't do that," Jake said.
If this incident went online, netizens would definitely scour for the reason behind the assault, and involving Sophia in his conflict with Gabriel would be harmful to her.
Matthew didn't quite understand. Posting the video would definitely have some impact on the Lancaster Group. It would be a good opportunity; even if it couldn't severely damage the Lancaster Group, it would at least teach them a lesson.
After a long pause, Jake gave Matthew an order. "Get me a bouquet of flowers."
Matthew had heard that Jake had taken a liking to a woman, and it turned out to be true. Could it be the woman who had previously gone to the auction with Jake?
"Got it," Matthew nodded.
That day, the mysterious identity of the Micro Circuit Group's boss was revealed.
A financial account posted a message, disclosing the true identity of the Micro Circuit Group's boss and attaching a photo of Jake.
Ordinary netizens weren't interested in financial news, but Jake's good looks couldn't be ignored. His fair face and those charming eyes made him more handsome than top celebrities.
This drove the more superficial among them crazy.
Various social media accounts frantically shared news about Jake.
In just a few hours, everyone knew.
Sophia naturally saw the news too.
She stared at her phone, looking at the reports and recalling past events.
There were many signs indicating Jake's powerful status. She just subconsciously ignored them.
There were the fashion show tickets, the City B auction, and the way Jake could easily clear the ski resort.
Suddenly, Jake called. Sophia looked at the caller ID and didn't answer for a long time.
After a while, Jake sent a message.
Jake: [Sophia, are you ignoring me because I'm the CEO of Micro Circuit Group?]
Sophia took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
Jake had told her he returned to start a new company, and he did. She just didn't expect his new company to be so big, and for it to have become a competitor to the Lancaster Group.
