chapter 8

The plane landed at the airport in Skyking City.

The long flight and jet lag made everyone a little groggy.

Blanchett looked very energetic. She rushed to Jacob’s side immediately.

“Jacob, can you be my guide and take me everywhere during my stay?” She went straight for Jacob’s arm and held it very naturally while saying so.

Anna looked at it and gave off a disdainful smile.

Jacob’s indifference was notorious. Even she had never held Jacob’s arm. Blanchett’s plan to hold it was...

Just when Anna was all disdainful, her pupils contracted suddenly.

Jacob, who had always been wary of physical contact, did not avoid Blanchett this time.

He just unconcernedly let Blanchett wrap around his hand!

A bright smile flashed across Blanchett’s face. She turned her head and gave Anna a triumphant look.

The string of reason in Anna’s brain just popped in that split second.

She walked forward and wanted to hold Jacob’s other arm.

Jacob avoided her indifferently and then frowned, “What are you doing?”

Anna felt aggrieved immediately.

He did not avoid it when Blanchett held his arm.

But he did so when she wanted to hold his arm?

She had pursued him for four years, but in the end, she was nowhere near comparable to Blanchett who literally just appeared.

If it were another woman, she might have suffered mental trauma at that moment.

But Anna was never such a person.

She looked at Jacob stubbornly and asked directly, “Why can’t I hold your arm? Why can she do so?”

Anna pointed her finger at Blanchett.

Blanchett twitched her eyebrows and gazed at Jacob. She wanted to hear Jacob’s answer too.

Jacob answered nonchalantly, “Both of you are not the same. She’s a guest from afar.”

“So what if she’s a guest? Can guests just go around bullying people?” Anna’s eyes had turned bloodshot. “I don’t care, you’re mine, Jacob! And I forbid you from getting so close to other women.”

While making that statement, Anna approached Blanchett and was going to push her away directly.

Blanchett did not even avoid her and was pushed firmly by Anna.

She staggered, leaned back, and fell to the ground.

Anna was stunned. “Hey, stop pretending! I didn’t exert any force at all, okay?”

“I’m sorry, I was indeed not standing stably. It's not Ms. Wright’s fault,” Blanchett said at once.

She seemed to be struggling to get back on her feet. She stood up halfway, lost her balance, and fell back down once again.

“I’m sorry, I-I can get up.” Blanchett gritted her teeth, and a hint of perseverance could be felt in her helplessness.

“Yo-You’re still acting huh!” Anna stomped her feet, overwhelmed by anger.

“Anna.” Serenity squinted her eyes and grasped her sister.

Blanchett had been very strategic while all Anna had shown was her impatience. Anna was not comparable to her.

The key to this matter did not lay on Blanchett, but rather on Jacob's attitude!

After all, Jacob was the main cause of the conflict between the two women. So whoever Jacob fancied would win.

At this moment, Jacob reached out and gave his hand to Blanchett who was on the ground.

Blanchett’s face glimmered with joy. She placed her hand in Jacob’s palm bashfully. Then she used Jacob as a crutch to get back on her feet. “Thank you.”

“It’s nothing.” Jacob then creased his brows and shot a glance at Anna. “Not everyone is as rough and thick as you. Blanchett’s status is precious and delicate. She can't take pushes from you!”

Anna was dumbfounded.

What… What did Jacob mean?

She was rough and thick, while Blanchett was precious and delicate. Was that it?

Even if Jacob did not like her at all, at least they were still friends, right? How could he just belittle her for a woman he just met?

Anna usually did not like crying, but when she was in front of Jacob, she seemed to cry very easily.

She tried really hard to hold her tears back and glared at Jacob implacably. “Jacob, you better explain that.”

“Was that not clear enough for you?” Jacob scoffed. He then gazed at Blanchett. “Let’s go. Have you booked your accommodation at any hotel yet? I’ll send you there.”

Blanchett gave off a joyful yet bashful expression and said immediately, “Yes.”

Jacob nodded and then left with Blanchett.

“Jacob…” Anna wanted to chase subconsciously but Serenity held her back.

“Why are you holding me back! I need Jacob to clarify. I’ve loved him for so long, but in the end, I’m no better than Blanchett?” The tears that Anna had been holding back rolled down her cheeks.

Everybody felt extremely uncomfortable when they saw that scene.

Luna sighed, walked over, and hugged Anna. “Silly girl, love can’t be measured via the length of time. There are so many men in the world other than Jacob. Why must you narrow down your choice to that one man?”

“But I love him, and I’ll only love him for the rest of my life,” Anna claimed with her teary eyes.

Luna felt a little distressed. But this was about the feelings of a human, so there was nothing much that she could do.

She could not even blame Jacob for that.

Jacob did not do anything wrong. He just did not like Anna.

There was no such thing in this world that said the person who Anna loved must also love her in return.

In fact, Anna had pursued Jacob for four years, and Jacob did not respond to her feelings. This had already explained everything.

“Alright.” George patted Anna’s shoulder lightly. ”We Wrights shed only blood, tears are forbidden. It’s just a man, not a three-legged toad. It’s not that difficult to find yourself another one. Let’s just ditch Jacob and Blanchett. Daddy will introduce you to some good ones later.”

Anna bit her lip and did not speak, but her heart was hit by waves of despair, one after another.

Jacob had never been in a relationship, so although he had not responded to her over the years, she still felt that she had hope after all.

But Jacob’s attitude towards Blanchett changed too quickly, which made Anna a little flustered.

Could it be that he really had a good impression of this woman?

Yes, he had no reason not to like her.

She studied programming too, and the two shared tons of common topics.

She looked beautiful, and she was also Brad Dixon’s daughter.

No matter how you looked at it, she was a perfect wife.

There should not be many men who could resist Blanchett, right?

“Alright Anna, don’t cry already, let’s just give up on Jacob,” Luna advised.

Anna’s tears gushed down even more tempestuously.

No, she would not give up. Jacob had not started a relationship with Blanchett yet—she had not lost just yet.

She loved this man for so long, and the only way to get her to abandon him was to kill her!

Anna loved Jacob, an oath only to be released by death.
