Stop Panicking! Miss Jacobs will Not Look Back!

Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Madam, That Woman Has Been In There for Half an Hour

Elias Langley thought her proposal was quite reasonable, so he nodded, "Alright, three months."

"During this time, you probably don’t want to share a bed with me, so let’s sleep in separate rooms. I’m used to the master bedroom. In the past, if you came back late, to avoid waking me, you’d sleep in the study. Let’s do the same now."

Elias Langley felt an inexplicable sense of melancholy in his heart, but he still nodded again.

Juliana Jacobs stopped speaking, turned around, and was about to leave, as if she was going out.

"Where are you going?"

The words slipped out, even Elias Langley was taken aback.

He shouldn’t have asked.

Juliana Jacobs glanced back, her face expressionless, and replied calmly, "Going to handle some things."

Elias Langley opened his mouth slightly.

He was still on sick leave and had no concept of work now.

"Then... come back early."

Juliana Jacobs didn’t respond to his words and continued to leave.

Raine Kane’s car was waiting at the door.

Juliana Jacobs got into the backseat and lay down.

Her hand gently rested on her abdomen, she took a deep breath or two, and only then did her whole body relax.

Raine Kane smoothly drove the car out of Darroway Street and kept the speed very slow.

After two intersections, she couldn’t help but ask, "Juliana, I don’t understand. You’re the rightful Mrs. Langley, why not just throw out that shameless woman who came to your door? Why did you even agree to let her stay at home?"

Juliana Jacobs’ gaze fell on the patterns of the seat in front, and her voice, due to her slightly reclined position, seemed somewhat light.

"If I don’t keep her under my nose, how will I find out what tricks she’s done to Elias Langley?"

"And after three months? If Mr. Langley remains as he is now, will you... really leave?"

Juliana Jacobs thought for a moment and said calmly, "If within these three months I can’t take down the Paxton Family, and he hasn’t regained his memory and continues to fulfill his promises to Iris Paxton, then I will choose to leave with my child, which is also a path to survival for me."

So, the words she previously said to Elias Langley were still reserved.

It’s not that she’s leaving his world, but that she’s deciding to abandon him.

Juliana Jacobs slowly closed her eyes.

"Over the years, he has been good to me and protected me. Now that he has lost his memory and is being schemed against by the Paxton Family, I can’t ignore him. Doing this much, regardless of the outcome, I can be at peace with myself."

The car fell into a long silence.

Eventually, Raine Kane just sighed softly and focused more intently on gripping the steering wheel.

The two arrived at The Innovation Hub, and by this time, colleagues were about to get off work.

Juliana Jacobs didn’t disturb anyone and went directly to the office.

At around six o’clock, Caleb Donovan arrived.

He came from Sinclair Manor, carrying an insulated lunch box.

"Mrs. Sinclair personally cooked this. She asked me to remind you to remember to go to Nivoria Precision Medical Center for a check-up in two days."

Juliana Jacobs didn’t look at the insulated lunch box he placed on the table but instead reclined on the sofa, with a soft pillow supporting her back, covered with a thin blanket, she quietly looked at Caleb Donovan.

"So, you know about it?"

Caleb Donovan nodded, "Madam, you can trust me. Previously, Mr. Sinclair said that if he wasn’t around, we should all take good care of you."

Juliana Jacobs couldn’t help but feel a twinge in her nose but still restrained the surge of emotions.

"So he knew all along that something might happen on this trip to the open sea and made arrangements in advance?"

"No. Last time at the hospital, someone attempted to assassinate him while he was on his way to the pharmacy. Although they didn’t succeed, Mr. Sinclair became vigilant from then on. But to avoid you worrying, he didn’t tell anyone. Apparently, on the way to rescue you, those people who intercepted me and Raine at the highway service area probably aimed to take you away and simultaneously eliminate Mr. Sinclair."

Juliana Jacobs instinctively covered her chest.

The area felt stuffy and painful, and even her lower abdomen started to tense slightly.

She closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and pressed down the further surging emotions once more.

Raine Kane immediately stepped forward.

"Juliana, you need to eat something first."

She opened the insulated lunch box, and the rich aroma wafted out.

Mrs. Sinclair had personally made Astragalus Red Dates Black Chicken Soup, meticulously paired with blanched vegetables and soft sticky yams inside.

"Now Mrs. Sinclair is really caring about you." Raine Kane said.

Juliana Jacobs looked at the clear-colored chicken soup, silent.

At that moment, Caleb Donovan stepped forward, lowered his voice, and said, "Previously, Mr. Langley made the Paxton Family mistakenly believe that Clara Fairchild is Mr. Sinclair’s biological daughter. Dylan Paxton still firmly believes it, although after Mr. Sinclair’s incident, no news about Clara Fairchild has come, but it can only be confirmed she is still alive."

"Why do you say that?" Juliana Jacobs asked.

"Because Dylan Paxton still occasionally uses Clara Fairchild’s life and death to threaten Mr. Sinclair, asking him to find the USB drive. Mr. Sinclair here has been cooperating with him in acting. Mr. Langley played this move steadily. At least for now, you don’t have to worry about your identity being exposed due to this. Otherwise, if another piece is added to this mess, it might really become overwhelming."

Juliana Jacobs understood that Caleb Donovan was hinting she better not go against Dylan Paxton.

It was likely a command from Elias Langley.

But Dylan Paxton has extended his claws near her, and she no longer has any retreat.

What Elias Langley hadn’t finished must be done by her.

Juliana Jacobs looked peacefully at the gentle steam on the coffee table, and said to Raine Kane, "Serve me a bowl of soup first."

To avoid detection, Caleb Donovan didn’t stay long and left.

After dinner, Juliana Jacobs rested for a while.

When she woke up, she saw the clock on the wall had reached 8 o’clock.

By this time, Elias Langley was probably having a warm dinner with Iris Paxton at Dylan Paxton’s, as an engaged couple.

She still had things to do, restraining the ripples in her eyes, and just when she walked out of the office, she encountered Caleb Shaw.

Juliana Jacobs didn’t expect Caleb Shaw would work overtime till this point, somewhat surprised.

Caleb Shaw, however, smiled and asked, "Is your health better?"

Juliana Jacobs nodded, somewhat apologetically said, "I’m troubling you with the company affairs again."

"No need to be polite with me."

While speaking, Caleb Shaw’s nose moved.

"Hmm... Why is there a scent of Astragalus Red Dates? This soup is nourishing, especially good for pregnant women."

Juliana Jacobs’ gaze turned elsewhere, not responding.

Caleb Shaw understood, the air lingering with an unspoken serenity.

Soon, he took out a key and handed it to her.

"No matter how many years a couple has been together, personal space is necessary. The office is bustling, not a place for thorough relaxation. This apartment is at Grandview One, quiet environment, good security, you can stay there first."

Actually, Juliana Jacobs was considering whether to buy herself an apartment.

Because now Iris Paxton has moved into her home, she lost trust in the private space there, and the Sinclair Family doesn’t feel like her home either.

Caleb Shaw delivering this key hit her right in the heart.

But Juliana Jacobs didn’t take it.

"The apartment in Kenton, Summer Shaw said is her friend’s, not charging rent, that’s actually yours, right?"

Caleb Shaw didn’t deny it, smilingly nodded.

"Yes. But later, Elias Langley bought it from me."

Juliana Jacobs felt a bit sour in her nose but forced down the emotions.

"I can’t trouble you further. How’s Summer Shaw doing? I’m... temporarily not convenient to visit her."

Caleb Shaw understood her concerns, she was afraid of implicating Summer Shaw further.

Seeing she had no intention of taking the key, he retraced it.

"Auden Hughes is a good person, while you weren’t at the company these days, Summer Shaw already completed her first surgery, the effect is still being observed."

Juliana Jacobs looked at him, eyes deeply constrained, "Caleb Shaw, thank you."

...

Juliana Jacobs returned to the courtyard house after finishing things, it was already past ten.

As she walked into the inner yard, Steward Fay was seen standing with hands in pockets, leaning against the study door, his entire ear tightly against the door.

Seeing Juliana Jacobs, he quickly walked with light steps, his tone akin to a kind-hearted neighbor lady.

"Madam, that woman has been inside for half an hour, though currently, there’s no ’big’ movement."
