NOVPUBChapter 986: Chapter 986: Actually, I Am in a Romantic Relationship with Xiao Yun _1 Chapter 986: Chapter 986: Actually, I Am in a Romantic Relationship with Xiao Yun _1 “Even if this business ultimately remains yours, even if CEO Evans and the others refuse to return it to me.
But when the time comes for Manager Thompson to recommend my replacement, you can simply reject them and recommend me instead,” Jacob Zahn explained enthusiastically.
Peggy Lewis furrowed her brows, feeling unease resurfacing, but was unable to determine any leverage he could have over her.
“I walk ethically and sit upright,” Peggy Lewis said with a grimace, “My personal life is pristine, and I don’t scheme behind the scenes at work.
What leverage do you have over me?”
Peggy Lewis truly couldn’t think of anything she had done to give Jacob Zahn any sort of leverage over her.
But somehow, facing an inflamed Jacob Zahn, Peggy Lewis still felt uneasy.
“I have none.
...
But if I fabricate one,” Zahn chuckled menacingly, “Didn’t you just say that Mr.
Houston and I have unseemly relationships?”
“But, you can’t present any evidence,” Jacob Zahn continued, “What if there is something, between us?”
Peggy Lewis paled, “What are you implying!”
“How about we take some intimate photos?” said Jacob Zahn as he took out his mobile phone, “If you dare to disobey me and not do as I say, I will leak all the photos.”
Seeing Peggy Lewis growing pale.
She clearly understood what Jacob Zahn was implying.
Unsure, however, about what kind of photo could he possibly capture in the stairwell of the company.
Then, Jacob Zahn abruptly pulled Peggy Lewis into his embrace and said, “Actually, I have some feelings for you.”
“It’s just that your character is highly disagreeable.” said Jacob Zahn, “You are too arrogant.”
“Women should be softer.
What can constantly trying to overpower men prove?” Jacob Zahn commented.
“If you were gentler, maybe I could accept you,” Zahn speculated.
“Yuck!
Who cares about you?” Peggy Lewis was disgusted, “Please don’t flatter yourself!
With all the disgusting things you’ve done, just seeing you makes me want to throw up, let alone need your affection?
Don’t dream on!”
Jacob Zahn’s face twisted in rage, stung by Peggy’s words.
“Alright, you’re not into me, are you?
Then you certainly wouldn’t want any intimate photos with me.” Jacob Zahn said coldly, “I won’t do anything to you, we will just take few photos as if we were a couple.”
“You’ve been telling everyone that Mr.
Houston and I have a romantic relationship,” Jacob Zahn continued, “Alright, then.
Now we have photos as proof.”
“If I could have that kind of relationship with Mr.
Houston, then people would think I could have one with you.
What do you think?” Jacob Zahn laughed scornfully.
He hadn’t completely lost his senses; he wasn’t about to physically harm Peggy Lewis.
Otherwise, that would be a serious crime.
Jacob Zahn would never give Peggy Lewis such significant leverage, and ruin himself completely.
He only needed relatively believable evidence.
Even if it was fabricated and wasn’t accurate, it would still lead to misunderstandings if revealed.
He believed that, even if it was fake and if there was nothing between them.
Just the photos alone would be something that Peggy Lewis wouldn’t want anyone else to see.
Merely these photos would be enough to manipulate Peggy Lewis.
Jacob Zahn didn’t expect to manipulate her indefinitely.
Even temporarily having her under control would be enough to achieve his goal.
As expected, Peggy Lewis’s expression changed.
Which confirmed that Jacob Zahn’s initial analysis was correct.
However, it also fueled his anger.
She was so resistant, despite only taking a few intimate photos with him where he wouldn’t actually do anything to her.
How much did she despise him!
Based on Peggy Lewis’s reaction, it felt as if she found him disgusting like dirt.
Jacob Zahn’s face twisted in fury, and he lifted his mobile phone to take the photo.
Suddenly, the stairwell door burst open.
It turned out to be Joel and the others arriving.
Seeing Jacob Zahn tangled up with Peggy Lewis, Joel immediately shouted at him, “Jacob Zahn, what are you doing!”
“Peggy!” Clara Evans also rushed over.
Meanwhile, Lyke Zhekova parked his car hastily at the entrance of Realforce Corp.
Ignoring the search for a parking spot.
The security guard at the entrance of Realforce Corp saw this and came over saying, “Sir, you cannot park here.”
But Lyke Zhekova didn’t respond to him.
Instead, he brushed past the security guard and hurried into Realforce Corp.
“Hey, wait up!” the security guard tried to chase after him, but was halted by an employee passing by.
“Don’t chase after him, that’s the CEO of Majestic, Lyke Zhekova,” the employee said.
With that said, the security guard didn’t dare to persue any further.
If they want to park their car at the company entrance, let them be.
Who can stop them when they are the company’s major investor.
The sudden appearance of Lyke Zhekova at Realforce Corp caused quite a stir.
All employees who saw him in the lobby were stunned.
“Why has Lyke Zhekova come here?”
“Wallace Martin just visited this morning, why is he coming over in the afternoon?”
“My goodness, does Majestic take our company partnership so seriously?”
Everyone’s eyes were following Lyke Zhekova closely.
They then noticed that Lyke Zhekova looked tense, seeming to be suppressing intense anger.
And he was also in a rush, sprinting through their company, ignoring everything else.
“What happened?”
“Has something major happened?
Why is Lyke Zhekova rushing to our company?”
“He seems to be in a bad mood.
Did our company’s partnership with Majestic run into problems?”
“What could have happened to make Lyke Zhekova rush over angrily in person?”
Everyone in the office started sending messages to their department colleagues, “Big news, big news, Lyke Zhekova has come to our company.”
“And he seems furious, it doesn’t bode well.” 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
“Did our company make another mistake?”
“Oh dear, with all the trouble caused, it might have been better not to partner, then there would be no such problems.”
Meanwhile, inside the stairwell.
Joel immediately ran forward to pull Jacob Zahn away, Clara Evans also pulled Peggy Lewis to safety, behind the group of people.
“Jacob!” Joel, suppressing his anger, stared in disbelief at Jacob Zahn.
“The two of you may compete, there may have been friction due to this partnership with Majestic,” Joel said, “But no matter what, you can’t lay your hands on Peggy!”
“And you pulling on Peggy like that, what do you aim to achieve?” Sis Anita was displeased as well.
Women are always at a disadvantage in such circumstances.
Her use of ‘pulling’ was putting it mildly.
From what she saw of Jacob Zahn’s actions just now, it was nothing less than harassment!
Jacob Zahn, still panting, took a moment for deep breaths to calm himself down while straightening his clothes.
Then, he calmly said, “Joel, Sis Anita, you’ve misunderstood.”
“Actually, Peggy and I are dating.” Jacob Zahn explained with a smile.
