Chapter 346 Jacob's Plea for Help
Chapter 346 Jacob's Plea for Help
Richard and Amy sat quietly in the car, looking at the beaten man in front of them. The darkness was a
good cover. The people around him already hid but did not go far, watching the farce in a safe place
nearby.
At this time, Jacob was beaten up so badly that he cried out for his mother. He was a dignified
President. When he was being beaten, his subordinates all disappeared, leaving only him behind to
receive the beating alone.
"You borrowed our money but you're not paying us back. Although you are the President of the HD Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Group, Jacob, I'm not afraid of you. I'll give you three more days. In the meantime, you can calculate
the interest you'll be charged over the three days. In total, you'll have to pay back one billion. If you
don't have money, then come prepared for death. Your mom and your younger brother, too. If you are
fine with it, I can send your entire family six feet under." A fat man with an eyepatch kicked Jacob
several times.
"Don't kick me. Don't kick me. I'll borrow money. I'll borrow money to pay you back." Jacob lay on the
ground and did not dare to move anymore, afraid that he would get punched and kicked once he
moved.
"Okay, just three days. If you don't repay then, know I keep my word!" The fat man did not let Jacob off
because he pretended to be dead.
"Okay, okay." Jacob's only plea was that they do not kill him this time so he could opportunities to
continue to hide.
"Hmph, don't even think about running away. I'm telling you, no matter where you go, I'll have ways to
find you." The fat man kicked Jacob again. He did not expect Jacob to escape to this place. Good thing
he had a broad network, and someone told him. Otherwise, this scumbag would have run away.
"No, no, I won't run," Jacob said while already considering whether to go abroad or hide somewhere in
the country.
After the beating was over, the fat man left with his men. Jacob lay on the ground in pain, unable to
move at all.
A pair of bright leather shoes appeared in front of him. Jacob looked up with difficulty. His face looked
ghostly with blood coming from his nose.
"Richard? Richard, you are here. Are you here to save me? Great. Great. Help me. Help me. I really
can't pay back all that money. They aren't mine either. I gave them all to the shareholders, but…" Jacob
looked at Richard as if he saw a God.
"Get up, I'll send you to the hospital. Your ribs must be broken. If you don't go, you'll probably be
disabled." Richard had someone take Jacob to the hospital.
"Why do you want to save him? He did so many things that made us suffer. He deserved it!" Amy was
finally able to vent her anger, but Richard saved Jacob.
"Amy, rest assured. I'll make sure every single one of those who hurt you is punished. It's just Jacob
can still be of use now. You haven't found evidence against the person you want to punish yet right?"
Richard gently took Amy in his arms.
"Richard, Richard. You have to save me." When Richard went to the hospital to see Jacob, Jacob just
had a rib surgery. He waited anxiously for Richard as soon as his surgery was over that he already
called Richard several times.
"Richard, you have to save your older brother. He did it for the HD Group, which is why he was beaten
this way." Addy took care of Jacob. As soon as she saw Richard, she rushed over and completely
forgot how they had treated Richard before.
"What can I do? I'm no longer a member of the HD Group. There's nothing I can do about it." Richard
found Jacob's appearance a bit funny.
"There is. There is. I borrowed a hundred million to pay out dividends to those shareholders. In fact,
that project wasn't profitable. It's all borrowed money. But now I need to pay back five hundred million
in total from the principal and interest. I don't know what to do. I have two days left. Richard, you don't
want to see me beaten to death by those people, right?" Jacob, a big man, started crying as he spoke.
Addy also started crying. It looked as if Richard was a debt collector who was so aggressive that he
made them cry.
"Jacob, you are now the President of the HD Group. You know how big of a loss the HD Group has.
Never mind five hundred million. There isn't even fifty million available. You paid more than this to the
Newell Group before." Richard neither offered to help nor refused to help. He only guided Jacob to
recall how he embarked on this road of no return.
"Yeah, at that time we paid the Newell Group five hundred and sixty million. At that time..." Jacob was
about to say something when he suddenly thought of something that he shut up immediately.
"Since you don't trust me, I don't need to be here anymore. I still have things to do. I'm going back to
spend time with my kid and my wife. Rest well." Richard does not force Jacob. There were still two
days left anyway. If Jacob did not mind another beating, then it had nothing to do with him at all.
"I'll tell you. I'll tell you. It's because, at that time, the Phillip Group said that as long as we don't supply
the Newell Group, then the Philip Group will pay for the damages. But now Mr. Philip is in jail. The
money hasn't arrived in our account after a long time, so we have no money now." Jacob pushed all the
responsibility to Philip and cleared Allison of blame.
Richard had no response after listening. He just tapped on the table gently as if he was thinking about
something, as if he was waiting for Jacob to say something.
"Richard, please help me. Otherwise, I really can't continue living anymore." If it were not for his
injuries, Jacob would have kneeled in front of Richard.
"I don't think you are telling the truth. Based on what I know, Philip did not contact you. How did you get
the news that Philip will pay you the damages? Plus, Philip's company is a dummy company. There's
no way he would have that much money." Richard still wanted to leave.
Jacob realized that there was no way out of it, so he had to tell the truth.
"Of course, I didn't have the chance to meet Philip. It was Allison. She said that she's Philip's wife and
can make decisions on behalf of Philip, so I believed her. But she's not picking up my calls, and I can't
find her. She placed me in this predicament. I hate her to death." By now, Jacob realized that he had
been tricked.
"I can help you, but after you sign an agreement." He took out a drafted agreement and handed it to
Jacob.
