Chapter 1597
He quickly whipped out his phone, dialed a number, and as soon as the call was picked up, he barked, “I need you
to find Erica
“Erica? What has she done to tick you off this time? Has your little soap opera finally escalated to her duping you
out of your money and love?” “Cut the crap!” Jacob paused for a moment, “And you, you jerk, stop making fun of
her!”
The guy on the other end felt the heat of Jacob’s fury and quickly responded, “Alright, Mr. Strand, just hold your
horses. I’ll get someone on it immediately!”
Time seemed to crawl at a snails pace after that.
Jacob paced back and forth in his mansion,
Whenever Erica returned to the country, she would come up with all sorts of excuses to crash at his place.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis house was the one she had stayed in the longest.
She didn’t like the color of the throw pillows, so she went to Hermès and picked out some exotic ones, which she
then placed on the couch
Those pillows totally clashed with the decor of his house.
And then there were the mugs she bought for the bar counter.
She always snuck in pairs of new ones, replacing Jacob’s old mugs with the ones she picked.
Then there were the plants on the balcony.
She said his place was too gloomy and did not match her sunny and energetic image.
And there was…
As Jacob waited for the news, he didn’t dare to take a break. He wandered around the house, looking at and
touching everything that belonged to Erica
She had been away for too long and with the housekeepers cleaning and airing out the house daily, her scent was
long gone.
After searching for quite some time, Jacob found a half-used bottle of her perfume in one of the drawers in her
wardrobe.
He sprayed it, took a whiff, and felt a bit of his anxiousness fade away.
But the lingering scent of the perfume wasn’t quite the same as Erica’s natural smell.
This made him even more anxious
About half an hour later, his phone started vibrating.
Jacob quickly answered, “Did you find her?”
“We found her…” There was a moment of silence on the other end, “Erica is in Zurich.”
“Zurich… I see, I’ll book a flight right…”
Before Jacob could finish his sentence, he heard the serious tone on the other end, “She’s getting married in Zurich
in about ten days.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What did you just say?” Jacob froze, thinking he must have misheard.
“She’s getting married in Zurich. We know the groom.” The guy on the other end sounded a bit disdainful,
“Remember that one time Erica’s family arranged a marriage for her? The groom is the uncle of the man from
back then!”
That was a long time ago and Jacob didn’t really pay much attention to it back then.
He agreed with his friends’ opinions at the time.
The man’s family were ordinary and couldn’t compare with him in terms of wealth. There was no way Erica would
give him up to choose such a family “Where did you get this information? This is impossible!
Jacob’s voice lowered into a growl.
“Check your Whatsapp” The guy paused, seemingly attempting to console Jacob, “Jacob, maybe Erica getting
married is a good thing. Maybe she won’t bother you anymore *
“Shut up!” Jacob’s composure vanished in an instant. He yelled rudely into the phone.
“Erica would only choose me. She won’t marry anyone else!”
