I Never Regretted Leaving You (Can't Win Me Back)

Chapter 439

The plaintiff, Kyler, and the others from the four major families had pale faces, mixed with a tinge of green.

Thea naturally couldn’t help but taunt them a few words, “If your business is losing money, first reflect on

whether you are cut out for doing business. Don’t think that other people’s money is stolen from your family just

because they are making money. Oh, and by the way, when you were in the limelight, the total liquid assets of

several major families combined were only a few hundred billion. But Theodore recently returned every single

penny to you. Why do you think there is still a place for you in this trillion?”

The Brown family, the Sanchez family, and the Hill family were all humiliated by this disgrace and they all cast

disapproving glances towards Kyler.

Kyler, on the other hand, glared fiercely at the main culprit Jewel and said, “Jewel, tell Dad what exactly

happened?”

Jewel took the blfor this group of greedy wolves, burying his head and shedding tears incessantly.

Kyler shamefully said to the judge, “I withdraw the lawsuit.”

Several other companies were also embarrassed enough and left one after another.

Jacob, however, sat in his seat without moving for a long time.

Thea walked up to him, triumphant as she was, but without a smug expression. She simply humbly said, “I never

expected

to meet the famous Jacob here. It’s truly an honor for Thea.”

Everyone loves to hear flattery, let alone Thea’s flattery, which was silent but effective.

Jacob smiled gracefully and said, “Ms. Thea, if you don’t mind, | would like to invite you for a meal.”

Thea smiled and said, “Shall | respectfully obey then?”

Jacob nodded.

When Thea and Jacob cout, Jewel, on the other hand, stood at the door waiting for Thea. Her eyes were

bloodshot, with a look of resentment and unwillingness.

“Thea, you were despicable. Thorne was my fiancé, why did you have the audacity to take his money?”

Thea was stunned.

There was a slight sense of unease in her heart, as if Jewel was Thorne’s first wife, and she was at most a

mistress hidden in the shadows.

“Jewel, this matter was not decided by me, but by Theodore. In fact, | only recently found out that | am the

owner of

Maplecrest Enterprises.”

Jewel murmured, “Impossible. How could he trust you so much? You were just a childhood friend he happened to

meet.”

Thea sincerely reminded her, “I was not just friends with him. We were family. We were siblings.”

“Who would believe it,” Jewel said.

Thea was speechless, shook her head gently, and could only leave.

Restaurant.

Jacob deliberately took Thea to a small restaurant to assess her character. After all, being well-versed in reading

people, he knew that women were most likely to reveal their manners in the face of poverty.

“Ms. Thea, I'm sorry, but | have something to attend to this afternoon, so | can only take you to this kind of place

for a meal. Next time, when | have free time, | will definitely invite Ms. Thea again.”

Thea, however, has a special affection for the small

restaurant, as it holds her childhood memories. She excitedly tells Jacob, “When | was a child, if | didn’t have any

food to eat, | would cto this kind of small restaurant to get sfree food. Speople would order a lot of

food but couldn't finish it. So, they would feed my hungry stomach. | even packed the leftovers and brought

them home.”

Jacob was stunned.

There was a girl who opened herself up to him in such a vivid way, this girl was never vain or power-hungry.

“No wonder my wife likes you so much,” he sighed.

Thea was ecstatic, “I spared no expense to win the favor of the lady.”

She raised her hand and said, “Look, the needle mark is still here.”

Jacob said, “You won her heart, but it was not about the wine.”

Thea laughed candidly and said, “That's my younger brother, | can’t just ignore him. Jacob, if you can help

reduce my

brother's punishment, | will support you in the future, burning incense and praying for you every day...”

Jacob said, “Ms. Thea, givea convincing reason.”

Thea stayed for a while.

She clenched her teeth and furrowed her brow. She pondered for a long time.

Finally, she sincerely said, “Jacob, all the money from Maplecrest Enterprises was earned by Theodore. Aren't you

curious why he would givetrillions of assets but commit a crfor just a few hundred billion?”

Jacob fell into deep thought.

Thea pleaded with him again, “Jacob, you can go and meet him. Just know that he is such a good child. If you are

unwilling to help him, please don’t hurt him. | beg you.”

Jacob saw the light in Thea’s eyes, as if carrying the entire universe.

It really made people want to believe her.

“Ms. Thea, | would consider it.”

outside the walls and, for the first time, felt that the sky was so clean and so blue.

He was so focused that he didn’t even notice when Sir Harris silently approached him.

“No. 13, Jacob's teacher wants to see you.”

No. 13's flawless and handsface revealed a slightly surprised expression. He slowly turned his head.

Sir Harris continued, “I know you didn’t want to see anyone. However, Jacob said it was Ms. Thea who begged

him to cand see you.”

No. 13 nodded silently.

Sir Harris pushed No. 13 to the visitor window, and through the small window, Jacob saw the notorious economic

criminal. His first impression of him was very surprising because No. 13 looked very dignified, completely

unrelated to great evil, and also unrelated to pure goodness and gratitude.

Jacob laughed and said, “Indeed, seeing is believing. You are neither as evil as the rumors suggest, nor as

grateful and pure as Thea claims.”

No. 13 couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Did Ms. Thea convince you like this?” with an indulgent smile.

Jacob stared at him in a daze. This child, with such a clean and bright smile, must have been a compassionate

child.

He said, “She made a cheongsam for my wife, hand- embroidering the pattern on our wedding rings. My wife

matter what. Originally, | just wanted to meet her casually, but she praised you to the skies, so | cto verify it

myself.”

No. 13's eyes filled with a touch of tenderness. Immediately, he sighed, “Why doesn’t she understand how to

take care of her own body?”

He finished speaking and lifted his stubborn face, looking at Jacob. “How do you want to verify it?”

“Why did you plead guilty to the accusation of embezzling money from the Sanchez family and the Brown

family?”

“Because it really waswho moved.” No. 13 said openly as if what he had done was not embarrassing at all.

Jacob was puzzled, “Ms. Thea toldthat the money from Maplecrest Enterprises was earned by you? You,

having so much money? How could you embezzle a mere few hundred billion from the four major families?”

Theo's handsface suddenly turned gloomy, “Because | wanted to bring down the four major families from

their pedestals.”

“What benefits does this have for you?”

“Jacob, as a professional top-notch lawyer, you should be more curious about why | brought down the four major

families from their pedestals.”

Jacob stared wide-eyed and asked, “Why?”

“Look it up yourself.”

No. 13 suddenly stood up and said, “Jacob, the end is just the beginning.”

After saying that, No. 13 left without looking back, sliding on the wheelchair.

Jacob stood still, feeling lost. It seemed like he had seen No. 13, yet it also seemed like he hadn't seen No. 13.
