Meanwhile, Kian Jacobs stared at the message, seething with frustration.
'Unbelievable. He's talking to me like that?'
'And here I was, always putting in a good word for you with my sister. This is how you backstab your own brother-in-law?'
Kian Jacobs pinched the bridge of his nose. Looking back now, he couldn't help but feel that letting his sister marry Silas Thorne and get their license had been far too rash.
It was his sister's future, after all. She had just gone through a breakup and her head was a mess. Why hadn't he stopped her back then?
'Doesn't every man pull out all the stops to win over his wife's family?'
He hadn't experienced that from Silas Thorne at all.
'That guy got off way too easy!'
Just then, major news outlets began releasing stories about the Northgate Business Summit. Kian Jacobs's speech was front-page news, filled with nothing but praise and lavish compliments.
