Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Zuko found himself momentarily speechless, so he refilled Jacob’s glass of tequila. Offering comfort to others was

not his strong suit, and he struggled to understand the feeling of unrequited love. Perhaps because his relationship

with Lina had been so smooth, he believed in following Toph’s advice to take the initiative and kiss the person he

liked.

Having done so himself, with Lina reciprocating, Zuko thought that was how love should be pursued.

Zuko patted Jacob’s shoulder with a serious expression. “Why don’t you try… kissing her first?”

Jacob had just taken a sip of tequila and choked on it, tears streaming down his face from the sting. He stared at

Zuko as if he were looking at a monster. Could this usually composed and reserved heir really say something so

offensive?

“Did I say something wrong?” Zuko argued seriously. “If you like her, you have to kiss her! Otherwise, how will she

know your feelings?”

Jacob narrowed his eyes. “Don’t tell me you won Lina over like that?”

Zuko smirked triumphantly, but Jacob couldn’t help but grimace.

“It’s different for me.” He lowered his head. “You and Lina are compatible, and your families are a good match too.

“But… I feel like I’m not good enough for her.” Jacob’s voice was almost inaudible as he uttered those words.

Zuko was taken aback. He had known Jacob for years, but this was the first time he had seen the confident lawyer

lacking self-assurance. The same Jacob who could debate anyone in the courtroom and remain calm and

composed in front of clients and opponents now struggled to speak freely due to his unrequited love.

Zuko found it somewhat hard to believe. “Then tell me, what makes you feel unworthy?”

Jacob was slightly startled.

She was a big star, achieving success at a young age and highly valued by her company since her debut. She made

the most of her talents and resources, becoming a shining star in the entertainment industry. Why would she pay

attention to him when there were plenty of outstanding men around her?

Jacob let out a light sigh. He turned to look at Zuko, remembering what had happened in Southeast Aciatic that

year. Perhaps only a scion of a prominent family like him could be the type of person Abigail liked… Otherwise, how

could she have followed Zuko to the hotel and been caught by the paparazzi?

A hint of jealousy crept into Jacob’s heart.

Zuko sneezed and suddenly noticed Jacob’s peculiar gaze. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“It’s nothing.” Jacob smiled. Even if he felt a little jealous, he would simply smile and let it go since they were best

friends. Besides, Zuko had Lina now.

“By the way, I have something important to tell you.” Jacob cleared his throat and pulled up some information on

his phone. “These are the things I’ve found out. I’m sending them to you now.

“But I’ve only investigated part of it.” Jacob chuckled. “As expected, Gia is up to something. After Mollie was kicked

out of the Thompson Group, Gia quickly got involved with the project manager!”

“What?” Zuko was stunned.

Jacob placed his hand on Zuko’s shoulder. “Mr. Hamerton, I gathered evidence secretly, only to end up being

betrayed. Can you believe my misfortune?”

Zuko laughed helplessly. This was an unexpected outcome for both of them.
