NovelEnglishHence, he spoke firmly while striding past Glen to look at Harold.
However, when he saw the old military uniform on Harold and the latter's stern expression, Elias began trembling in fear as if he
had seen a ghost.
He spun around and walked toward Jacob's behind. Then, he booted the back of his son's kneecaps.
Jacob fell to the floor with a thud, kneeling, after being on the receiving end of his father's kick.
Unexpectedly, Elias was not done yet. After causing his son to kneel, he grabbed Jacob by the ear and dragged him forward to
face Harold.
“Dad, what are you doing? This guy is Megan's fiancé. Why are you forcing me to kneel before him?” Jacob shouted at his father
in utter bewilderment.
He had truly never anticipated Elias would make him grovel before his love rival, much less do so in front of so many outsiders.
Jacob's words prompted Elias' face to darken further.
“B*stard! This man in front of you is the ultimate boss I warned you not to offend previously. I've constantly reminded you to keep
a low profile. Instead, you went ahead and crossed the last person you should mess with. Hurry up and apologize as sincerely as
you can. Otherwise, even I cannot save you!” Elias lowered his head and whispered sternly and urgently beside Jacob's ear.
“W-What? He's the ultimate boss?”
Jacob was shocked and frightened upon hearing Elias' words. He widened his eyes and stared at his father in astonishment.
Shouldn't all bosses be around my dad's age? This guy is so young. This is unbelievable!
At that moment, Jacob finally understood why Paradise Hotel's staff had dragged Thiago out of the place and demanded he
apologized to the Zeller family. Jacob also fathomed why an exception was made, allowing the Zeller family to participate in
Norham's makeover project.
Everything happened because Harold had secretly made the arrangements.
Comically enough, Jacob had assumed Harold was merely a lonely and poor security guard.
“Why are you still staring into space? Hurry up and apologize!”
Elias was furious when he saw Jacob still caught up in a daze. He slapped his son's head angrily.
I don't get it. How did I give birth to a useless piece of trash like him?
“M-Mr. Campbell, I'm very sorry to have offended you because of my ignorance. I should not have attempted to hit on Mrs. Zeller.
I'll beg for your forgiveness and promise never to make a move on Mrs. Zeller in the future. Please give me a chance to redeem
myself...”
Jacob finally regained his senses after being reminded by Elias. He hurriedly clambered toward Harold and groveled at the
latter's feet while repeatedly apologizing.
Everyone present was astounded by that ongoing scene, especially those unaware of Harold's identity.
They stared gapingly at the unexpected turn of events.
After all, Jacob's attitude had changed drastically following Elias' arrival.
Initially, he behaved arrogantly and conceitedly, as if he was the king of the world with everyone's fates in his hand.
However, the next second, he was groveling at Harold's feet, begging for mercy while trembling all over. .
Megan was pulled back to reality. She walked up to Jacob and asked startlingly, “W-What are you doing, Mr. Simmons?”
She stretched out her arms to pull him up to his feet.
Puzzled, she could not wrap her mind around the reason behind Jacob's sudden demeanor of pleading for Harold's mercy.
