Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1222

“I…"

Gia was unable to answer Jacob's question.

Meanwhile, Tobias caught up with her.

"Hey, are you ditching me? I have a big wound on my head. They're removing the stitches today, and you're ditching me?" he angrily questioned Gia.

Panicked, Gia looked around. Tobias' head was still wrapped in gauze, but he could speak more clearly now. He limped to the car and looked at the luxurious Mercedes G-Class before glancing inside.

Jacob frowned and rolled up the window on Abigail's side right away. He got her to put on sunglasses and a cap before stepping out of the car. There was mockery and disdain in his eyes as he looked at Tobias.

Jacob chuckled. "Are you not going to introduce us, Gia?"

Tobias also looked at Gia. "Wait, you guys know each other?"

Gia hesitated for a moment before answering. "H-He's Jacob, my boyfriend. And this is Mr. Tobias Chambers, the project manager from the Thompson Group's film studio."

"Mr. Chambers?" Jacob revealed a cryptic smile and extended his hand. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Mr. Chambers."

Tobias glanced at Jacob and shook his hand forcefully. He knew Gia had a lawyer boyfriend, but he didn't realize he was not only outstanding but also wealthy.

He wondered if there was something wrong with Gia. She left such an impressive boyfriend to be with him!? Was it all about money? Did she want to secure a house from the Thompson Group?

Tobias cleared his throat and adopted a managerial tone. "Hello, Mr. Welsh. That's quite the car you have there! Why don't you drop me home? I live in the Southern City District, not far from here, just about 20 kilometers!"

Jacob scoffed. "Mr. Chambers, is there some misunderstanding?"

"What misunderstanding?" Tobias glared at him, pointing at his head. "Look! Do you know who did this?"

Gia grabbed his sleeve anxiously.

Jacob had a hunch about what was going on from their interaction. Considering the evidence he had gathered, he had an idea.

"Don't tell me my girlfriend did this?"

"Yes! She did!" Tobias scoffed, looking at Jacob. "Since you're her boyfriend, you should take responsibility! I'm not asking you for money. Just drop me home, alright?"

"Not a problem." Jacob smiled and then glanced at Gia. "Since Mr. Chambers requested it, do as he says. In fact, I suggest you not only take him home but also stay with him to take care of him as compensation for what you did."

"You..."

Gia and Tobias were stunned. While they were at a loss for words, Jacob got back into the car, started the engine, and drove away.

He even rolled down the window and yelled at them, "Mr. Chambers, get Gia to send you home! Don't worry. I'm an open-minded man!"

Tobias was shocked, and then he glared at Gia. He ended up taking a taxi to the hospital, and now he also had to take a taxi home.

"You bitch!" he cursed. "My life has been a mess since you entered it!"

"Tobias!"

"Are you going to be the super buyer?"

"Of course not." Zuko smiled. "It requires acting skills. We'll have a professional do it!"

A few days later, a mysterious force suddenly appeared in Centrolis' stock market.

A foreign company called Aureneil Industrial emerged out of nowhere and took over the stock market. They repeatedly informed the media about their intention to invest in Centrolis and find the best candidate to collaborate with. They were particularly interested in the profitable property business.

Everyone was curious about the mastermind behind Aureneil Industrial, and speculations were rife.

Some thought they had the support of a consortium.

Others believed they were about to break the monopoly of the four families in Centrolis and become the fifth.

Tobias felt uneasy as he sat in his office during these two days.

After some effort, he managed to obtain the phone number of someone insignificant from Aureneil Industrial. He wanted to discuss a collaboration, but the response disappointed him.

"Many companies want to work with us, so get in line," the person on the other end said.

Tobias' foolish competitiveness was triggered. How could he not get what he wanted?

He bragged in the call, "Tell your boss my land is valuable. There's nothing like it in the whole of Centrolis! Moreover, the Thompsons are backing this land, so your boss won't face any consequences!"
