NOVPUBChapter 985: Chapter 985: I Must Have Leverage Over You_1 Chapter 985: Chapter 985: I Must Have Leverage Over You_1 It was their first time seeing Lyke Zhekova like this.
Wallace Martin immediately took out his mobile phone when he heard this, and called Manager Thompson.
Meanwhile, Lyke Zhekova, with Peggy Lewis’s business card in hand, picked up the landline on Wallace’s desk and dialed Peggy’s workstation number.
Clara Evans and Abigail Ackehurst were chatting.
Clara casually brought up, “How come Peggy’s been gone for so long and hasn’t returned yet?”
Just then, the landline on Peggy’s desk rang.
Clara worried that it might be something urgent related to work that could affect Peggy.
She went and picked up the phone, “This is Majestic, hello.”
“Peggy Lewis is trapped in the stairwell by Jacob Zahn, hurry up and find her!” Lyke said hastily.
...
“What!” Clara was shocked.
Lyke urgently shouted, “Hurry up!”
“Oh, oh, okay!” Clara quickly responded.
Lyke hung up the phone, grabbed his car keys, and rushed to Majestic.
Fortunately, Majestic was not far from his location, about ten minutes away by car under normal conditions.
Directly into the phone, Lyke shouted, “Peggy, don’t hang up!”
At the same time, he dared not hang up either.
Clara ended the call and shouted, “Abigail, Joel, quick, follow me to the stairwell, Peggy’s being cornered by Jacob Zahn over there!”
“What?” Abigail shot to her feet.
Joel also walked over incredulously: “What’s going on with Jacob Zahn?”
“Just go, it seems quite dangerous.” Clara said hastily and ran out.
Sis Anita also followed, asking as she tagged along, “Who was on the phone just now?”
“Don’t know, I didn’t have time to ask, anyway the call was urgent.” Clara responded.
Even Elijah Hernandez and Tiffany Wagner followed.
Elijah hesitated, “This…
could it be a prank?”
“Who would be so bored to come up with such a prank?” Clara retorted, “It’s right in the stairwell, not far away.
If it’s real or not, we’ll know once we go look.”
“And besides, if nothing happens, that’s best.
But if something does happen due to our suspicion and we either don’t go or arrive late, causing a grave mistake, can you ever feel at ease?”
“That’s right.” Joel nodded, “The tension you have during work, I will not comment on.
But now, it’s about physical safety, no matter what, we should take a look.
We can’t continue to feud, intending to harm.”
“It’s best if nothing is wrong, we could then chastise the prankster.
If something is indeed wrong, wouldn’t it be better if we could prevent it?” Joel added.
With that, Elijah and Tiffany said nothing more.
In the stairwell, although Peggy tried to muffle the ringing of her mobile phone as best she could,
Jacob Zahn still heard it.
“Who called?” Jacob immediately reached out to grab it from behind Peggy.
Peggy clenched her mobile tightly; Jacob could not get it.
But Jacob had already pulled her hand, along with the mobile, towards him.
“Jacob Zahn, are you trying to rob me of my mobile?” Peggy shouted, “You’re a thief!”
“What call are you making while talking to me?” Jacob became suspicious, “You can’t possibly be planning to send out a tip-off, can you?”
“Jacob Zahn, what are you doing?
Kidnapping?
Robbing?
Even my calls you have to monitor?
Who do you think you are!” Peggy was furious, “Jacob Zahn, you’re going too far!”
“This is the company, not your place to throw tantrums and bully people!” Peggy shouted angrily.
By this time, Lyke was already in his car, urgently shouting, “Jacob Zahn, I’ve informed your colleagues, they’re on their way, don’t do anything crazy!”
“Peggy, don’t hang up, I’m on my way!” Lyke was unsure if Peggy and Jacob had heard his words since there was a lot of commotion at their end.
Lyke was hoping that Jacob would hear him, which might keep him from actually doing anything to Peggy.
Actually, Lyke was puzzled, has Jacob gone insane?
How could he dare to harm Peggy right within the company premises?
But a desperate, irrational person indeed couldn’t be judged by the rational mind of a normal person.
Meanwhile, Jacob and Peggy were arguing, their voices drowning out the ones from the phone.
They could vaguely hear a male voice coming from the phone.
But due to the tug of war with Jacob, the mobile was taken far away, the voice wasn’t clear.
They couldn’t even identify who was speaking, let alone make out what was being said.
Jacob resolutely pried off Peggy’s fingers from the mobile phone.
And took Peggy’s mobile away.
“Jacob Zahn, give me my phone back!” Peggy rushed to get it back.
Who knew, Jacob by now had lost all reason, and he threw Peggy’s mobile down the stairwell.
The phone tumbled and crashed down the stairs.
By the time it came to a halt, the screen was already shattered and blacked out.
No sound could be heard from it any longer.
“Peggy!” In the car, Lyke called out anxiously.
But the phone had gone dead.
Seeing no way of using her phone, Peggy decided to forget about getting her phone back, and planned on making a run for it instead.
Looking at Jacob’s current state, she felt genuine danger.
Just as she got two steps down, Jacob grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
“You better not think of harming me here.
If you really hurt me, I won’t take it lying down, I’ll definitely call the police.” Peggy couldn’t even bother about the pain in her arm any more.
Peggy raised an eyebrow, “Unless you kill me, I won’t be dialling the police.
But by then, you can’t escape jail!”
Peggy was positive, although Jacob was insane, he wouldn’t dare to murder.
What was it?
Some office drama?
It wasn’t worth committing murder over.
But unless Jacob took her life, he wouldn’t be able to silence her!
Jacob should have this point clear.
After issuing the warning, Peggy asked, “I invited you to accompany me, you disagreed.
I said I would go alone, you didn’t trust me.
So, what do you want?”
“Or, you could come with me to the office, but you stay outside and watch me go in, can we do that?” Peggy offered.
“If even this doesn’t work, then I really can’t think of any way to make you trust me.” The more Peggy thought about it, the more she felt Jacob had lost it.
He was not normal.
If all those methods wouldn’t work, what did Jacob think would?
“Of course, I need to have your weaknesses in my hand, that way, I won’t fear your tricks, not obeying me.” Jacob said, “As long as I have your weaknesses, you have to listen to whatever I say.”
