She Is A CEO

Chapter 1139 A Mother's Love

Libby looked up, her eyes fixed on the top of the door frame, her gaze as deep as a moonless night.

"Even if it's been a long time since we've seen each other, don't stand at the door and talk. What will the neighbors think?" Miles said from the middle of the living room.

Jacob only let go of Libby after hearing this, but still affectionately put his arm around her shoulder and walked into the living room with Leon and others closing the door behind them.

"I thought Dad suddenly went back for something important. It turns out he came to pick you up," Jacob said with a smile as he sat on the sofa with his family. The other henchmen stood in corners of their own accord in the living room.

"I've had enough time at hospital. I was afraid your dad would be too impatient and that you two might clash when you disagree, so I came back to watch over you both," Libby smiled sweetly while staring straight at Jacob.

"That won't happen," Casper glanced at Miles before saying, "I listen to his words now."

"Well then I can rest easy," Libby patted Jacob's hand again before saying, "I missed you so much during this period. You need to spend more time with me from now on because being sick scared me so much. Sometimes people just disappear without warning."

"Mum, you're healthy; nothing will happen!" Jacob comforted Libby dutifully without detecting any hidden meaning in what she said. After speaking, he scanned his surroundings and saw all of Miles' trusted men were present; then casually asked Miles,

"Dad what's going on? Why did everyone come here?"

"Your safety is important." Miles replied calmly.

"Really?" The smile on Jacob's face seemed fake like it was painted there

"Forget about last time?" Miles retorted while giving him an eye roll

"What happened last time?" Asked Libby who was standing nearby.

Jacob turned his head towards his "mother" smiling before saying, "Nothing happened; there was just a small accident but Dad helped me through it."

"That's good." With a light smile, Libby continued, "We only have one son left in our family line; we can't afford any accidents happening to him or anyone daring enough to harm him because I will make sure they suffer!"

Although she smiled while speaking these words, there were traces of ruthlessness visible beneath them.

"It's not that serious, Mum." Jacob was surprised by how seriously she took things but continued nonetheless, "Dad has always sent people around me for protection, which means those who have ill intentions dare not act recklessly."

Jacob had already learned Lauren had left long ago leaving Nia as their only problem, which could be resolved given an opportunity.

"Well then I can rest easy." Replied Libby looking relieved.

Jacob pretended to chat with his parents for a few moments before using the excuse of being busy with work to rush off to the company. Miles stood up in front of him and said to Rhys and Thomas, "Rhys, Thomas, you and others will protect Casper together and make sure that the same thing won't happen again."

Jacob frowned slightly and although he was displeased, he had just said those words to Libby and could only pretend to agree now. He led a group of about ten people away in a grand manner. As soon as Jacob left, the smile on Libby's face vanished completely, replaced by anger and hatred.

"I just wanted to rip his face off!"

"Libby, if you can't handle the pressure, maybe you should go back first?" Miles was afraid that Libby would reveal her true emotions.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"It's okay. Didn't I just perform well?" Libby lowered her eyes and said, "Although I know that the face is fake, seeing 'Casper' standing vividly in front of me, I won't easily expose myself."

As a mother, Libby had her own contradictions. She knew that her son now was Jacob, but she also secretly gazed at that face, which was the face of her son...

"When you can't take it anymore, just tell me," Miles cherished his wife even more after experiencing this sorrow. Although they were already an old married couple, he rarely hugged his wife and said, "Don't tough it out."

"Um." Libby muttered in response.

In order to witness his fate with her own eyes, she must endure it no matter what!

Coming out of the apartment, Jacob wanted to discuss with Leon whether he had also noticed anything unusual. However, there was always someone from Miles' team following him, so he could only return to the office in silence. As soon as they got back, Jacob called Leon into his office alone and excluded Miles' people from the room.

Leon had recently valued Sage a lot, so he brought him into the office as well. Jacob glanced at him but didn't say anything.

"Leon, don't you think it's strange that Miles brought Libby back this time?" Jacob asked Leon, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window facing the familiar city.

"I don't think so. Miles does know your identity, but Libby doesn't. She has always doted on her son and after being away for so long to receive treatment, she will definitely pester Miles to come back and see you. So the current situation is understandable," said Leon.

"But I always feel that something is not right. "If they really looked closely, it was probably because Libby's eyes were even more passionate when she looked at him.

"Mr. Wood, can I say what I think?" Sage, who had been listening silently, suddenly said.

"Speak," Jacob said. Since he had let Leon bring him in, it meant he could listen to what he had to say.

"I think instead of worrying about whether Miles and Libby are up to something, we should take the opportunity to deal with Nia and Kevin first. They've been relying on Lauren's protection all this time. Kevin was cultivated by you for years and used everything he learned to make Fabulous Dav's thrive. If we keep dragging this out, they'll only get more entrenched. Now that Lauren is gone, we don't know when he'll come back, so we need to solve these two as soon as possible." Sage made a convincing argument.

Jacob turned his head slightly towards him and didn't hide his agreement but still said, "But we can't ignore Miles and Libby either."

"Mr. Wood, I don't think it's necessary to pay too much attention to those old folks," Leon thought Sage made sense so he agreed, "Miles thinks his son is still alive so just based on that alone, he won't act rashly. So the urgent matter is still dealing with Nia and Kevin while Lauren isn't here."

"Hmm," Jacob was most relieved about this point.

"But this matter may not be urgent," Sage worriedly said, "During this time Nia and Kevin have recruited a group of thugs under the guise of hiring security guards for their company. I heard there are many hooligans. It may not be easy trying to approach them easily."

"You noticed?" Jacob was quite surprised that Sage had such insight into the situation.
