A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

To make sure that the key that he had found was the correct one, he asked Darren for a picture of the key.
This picture came in handy.
When he took out the picture that Darren had sent him, Bill started to compare it with the key that he had found meticulously.
Suddenly, he let out a disappointed sigh and slapped the man next to him on the back of his head. “You're completely useless!
You can't even do your job correctly! All you can do is flatter others!“
It would have been fine if he had really found the right key that was in the picture. However, after careful inspection, it was
evident that it wasn't the one that Darren wanted.
Upon seeing the sour look on Bill's face, the man realized that flattery wouldn't save him anymore. He rubbed the back of his
head and immediately took two steps back, not daring to say anything.
“Go out there and look for it again.
Make sure it's the right one this time,“ Bill ordered him again in a stern voice. Then, he noticed a piece of white paper inside the
safe with the key.
Written on the white paper was the address of an insurance company.
'An insurance company? Why did Jacob leave the address of the insurance company in this safe?' While Bill was trying to think
of a reason as to why Jacob would put it there, one of his men approached him and told him that they had already turned Tyrone
Mansion upside down looking for the key, but they still hadn't found it.
Once again, Bill looked around Tyrone Mansion, but he was still not satisfied. After a few more minutes, he finally let out a
defeated sigh. He waved his hand to his subordinate and said, “All right, you can leave now.“
However, he didn't put down the paper and key in his hand.
The next day, Bill took the key with him and searched for the key that Darren wanted according to the address written on the
white paper.
Even if the key he had found was not the one to the safe that held the share transfer agreement of the HT Group, it must still be
useful for something, so Bill wanted to hold onto it just in case. Since Jacob had hidden the key so well, Bill thought that maybe
he could use the key to find out Jacob's secrets.

If he could discover the secrets that Jacob was hiding, he could use them against Jacob.
Surely, Jacob wouldn't dare disobey him if his secrets were in Bill's hands.
When Bill thought of this idea, his eyes sparkled with excitement. He confidently got out of his the car and walked towards the
insurance company.
“Open this safe for me now,“ Bill demanded and threw the key in front of the insurance clerk.
“Yes, sir. Please wait for a moment.“ Even though Bill looked sketchy, the insurance clerk still entertained him.
The insurance clerk entered the corresponding code on the key into the system to check. After he saw the information on his
computer screen, he furrowed his brows. He squinted at his monitor to make sure he read it correctly, and then looked at Bill's
face.
“I'm sorry, sir. According to our records, this safe belongs to Mr. Gu, the CEO of the HT Group. According to our rules, if Mr. Gu
doesn't come here in person, we cannot open the safe.“
“You can't open it?“ After Bill heard the clerk's explanation, his face started to lose color. He gave the insurance clerk a deathly
glare and waved his hand at one of his men. In a split second, the man placed a sharp knife in front of the insurance clerk.
Bill pounded the table and demanded, “Open it for me!“
The insurance clerk glanced at the knife in front of him and gulped. But he gathered up his courage and insisted, “But sir, it is our
company policy...“
“Policy? Right now, you have to do what I say, or else!“ Bill picked up the knife and extended his arm so that the blade touched
the insurance clerk's face.
The insurance clerk flinched from the sudden coldness on his cheek. He felt Bill slowly rotating the blade beside his face, as if
Bill was studying how to cut him up.
“Okay, I... I will take you there right now,“ the insurance clerk said shakily. When he stood up, his legs trembled so much from
fear that he almost sat back down.
“Hurry up if you don't want me to hurt you!“ Bill impatiently gave the clerk a hard push.

All that the insurance clerk could think of was the knife in Bill's hand. To him, the walk from the hall to the safe felt as if it was
miles apart. When they finally arrived at the safe, he almost burst into tears.
“Here it is,“ he murmured timidly.
Bill took a look at the safe in front of him and pushed the insurance clerk aside. Then, he used the key to open the safe.
There seemed to be some documents inside the safe.
'Finally! I will be able to find out Jacob's secrets!' Bill thought with a smirk.
As he stared at the documents, he suddenly started to imagine the delicious food, good wine, and the luxurious mansion waiting
for him. He could get all of that if he managed to control Jacob.
Bill immediately thought of Jacob and Louis on their knees begging him for mercy.
Hurriedly, he took out the documents and started to read them. However, his face quickly turned pale as he read the first few
sentences of the documents. He quickly scanned the rest of the pages before closing the folder.
The documents didn't contain any of Jacob's secrets at all. It was all of Bill's secrets.
Every page of the documents was about Bill's criminal activities. In fact, it was more accurate to consider them as Bill's criminal
records.
“Damn it, Jacob! When I find you, I will tear you to pieces!“ Bill said with gritted teeth.
How could he not understand? Jacob had clearly made a fool out of him.
This was probably Jacob's plan from the very beginning. Bill had walked into Jacob's trap the moment he had stepped into
Tyrone Mansion yesterday.
The Tyrone Mansion didn't contain the key that Darren wanted at all. Instead, it contained a key to a safe that was filled with
pieces of evidence that showed Bill's past crimes.
“Boss, there seems to be a piece of paper attached at the bottom,“ one of Bill's men pointed out.
Quickly, Bill turned over the documents.

There was indeed a piece of paper attached to the bottom of the documents. He took a quick glance at it before crumpling into a
ball in anger. He held the crumpled paper tightly in his fist.
Bill was obviously still livid. The blue veins on his forehead, neck, and hands looked as if they were ready to pop out of his skin.
His blood was boiling to a dangerous temperature. Nobody else knew what was written on the paper except for Bill.
Jacob had not only fooled him, but also humiliated him with the words he had written on the paper.
On the paper, Jacob had mocked Bill without holding anything back.
It was the first time that someone had talked that way to Bill.
It was utterly humiliating for him.
“Jacob, you are dead meat!!“
It was the only thing that Bill muttered before walking out of the insurance company with his men following behind. They gave
each other confused glances, hoping that one of them had the answer. None of them did. They didn't know what was on the
paper.
But it was clear that whatever was in the documents had upset Bill.
The documents were related to Bill's dignity as a boss, so he couldn't give his men any context about the content of the
documents. The writings on that documents would remain a mystery to everyone except for Bill and Jacob.
It would become his secret too.
As they made their way back, Bill didn't utter another word. Eventually, he was able to calm himself down, but the hatred in his
eyes still burned like fire.
He hated Jacob for playing tricks on him. As much as he wanted to get his revenge, he couldn't do anything to Jacob because
the latter was still rich and powerful.
But...
“I may not be able to kill you right now, but that doesn't mean I can't lay my hands on others, right?“
