Chapter 257 Jenny's Plan
Jenny squinted her eyes in deep thought.
Previously, someone found her and gave her a huge sum of money to find Jacob and do something for them.
She did not think twice before agreeing.
She knew Jacob very well.
Although she hurt him really badly, as long as she wanted, he would come running to her like a little puppy.
Actually, things went pretty smoothly. At the very least, she managed to live under the same roof as Jacob.
However, Jacob's attitude made Jenny uncertain.
Did he really still love her?
Probably so. If not, he would not have agreed to take her in so easily.
It may be that she hurt him too badly previously, so he could not allow himself to forgive her so easily.
After figuring it out, a smile crept onto Jenny's face.
The solution was simple. She just needed to be a little more gentle and a little more loving to Jacob. Soon, he would forget about what she did to him.
Now that she had a plan, Jenny woke up early the next morning to prepare breakfast.
Seth and Jacob arrived at the dining room together.
Once Jenny saw them, she smiled happily, "Morning, I made some porridge. Come and have some."
Seth glanced at the pot of porridge on the table.
"The weather's cold, so I put some thin pieces of ginger in the porridge," Jenny said proudly.
Seth took a ladle and stirred the porridge, then smiled sarcastically, "Ginger? Don’t you know that Jacob doesn't eat ginger?"
"Rea... really?" Jenny was taken aback. Then, she looked pitifully at Jacob, "Jacob, why haven't you told me this before?"
"No, I did. And I mentioned it more than once. But you never remembered," Jacob answered calmly.
He was just stating the truth, and he did not mean to imply anything else.
However, Jenny’s face turned red immediately. "So... sorry. Back then, I was too preoccupied with my family matters, so I may not have listened carefully, but from now on, I..."
"It's fine," Jacob interrupted her.
Jenny looked even more guilty, "Then, I'll make another pot of porridge for you...?"
"There's no need. Someone will deliver breakfast to us every morning," Jacob said coldly.
Jenny bit her lower lip awkwardly.
The breakfast arrived quickly. Jacob and Seth stopped talking to Jenny and began having their breakfast.
Perhaps he could not stand how awkward it was for Jenny to stand and watch, so Jacob squinted his eyes and said, "If you don’t mind, have a seat and eat." Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Okay." Jenny's face lit up and she immediately sat down on the seat next to Jacob’s.
Seth glanced at her disgustedly but did not say anything else.
Over the next few days, Jenny took care of Jacob in every possible aspect. She even cleaned the house, did the laundry, and cooked meals.
Jacob did not respond passionately but he did not reject it nonetheless.
However, Seth was getting more and more upset each day.
One day, he could no longer refrain himself. He went t o Jacob and asked, "She should've found a place to stay by now."
"She didn't mention it, and I didn't ask," Jacob said.
"What? So, you'll just let her stay here forever?" Seth asked.
"It's up to her," Jacob said.
Seth was infuriated, "Jacob, are you crazy? This type o f woman is like glue, you must get rid of her as soon as you can!”
"I don't mind," Jacob said calmly.
"You’re making me so mad..." Seth got angry again.
Jacob just listened on expressionlessly.
After another one-sided argument, Seth could not stand Jacob any further. He pulled the door open and left, "I won't get in your business anymore, I don’t care anymore!"
With a loud bang, the door closed heavily. Seth went out to calm himself down.
"Jacob, have some.... Dessert..." Jenny looked at Seth i n confusion as he stomped out.
"Okay, thanks," Jacob said calmly.
Jenny came back to her senses and placed the dessert in front of Jacob, then she asked, "Jacob, is Mr. Leeds angry again? Because of me?"
"It's none of your business," Jacob said as he turned his laptop on and opened the programming window.
Jenny noticed and her face lit up. "Jacob, this is..."
"Oh, this is a mobile operating system I'm working on. I’m performing optimization," Jacob said.
Operating system?
A look of joy flashed across Jenny's face.
That was her target.
"Back then, you always loved to write some programs. Who would’ve thought that you'd be so successful now?” Jenny said softly.
Jacob glanced at her, "I already began working on this system when we were together. I remember I told you about it before."
Jenny was taken aback, then she said, "I remember."
Jacob did spend many days and nights working on some systems.
"Back then, you said that this rubbish would not earn me any money," Jacob said calmly as he looked at his screen.
Jenny could not help but feel a little awkward. She peeked at Jacob. After realizing that he was not mad, she said carefully, "There were too many things going on in my family. I was too frustrated and spoke mindlessly. Actually, deep down, I.."
"I'm going to be coding, so go find yourself something t o do," Jacob said.
Jenny’s sentence was cut off, but she could only agree, "Okay."
Jacob did not say that she must leave, so Jenny stayed at the side and watched Jacob code.
She did not understand what Jacob was writing, but the SL system had been described as some godly creation. She knew that this superior system was already being valued at tens of billions of dollars.
Watching Jacob’s fingers move, her heart raced.
It was worth tens of billions of dollars!
Previously, when the anonymous person asked her to find Jacob, she was given one million dollars. Back then, she felt that it was a huge sum of money.
However, now, she craved more.
If she really managed to get her hands on the code, she must at least get tens of billions of dollars, no matter what it would take.
Jenny's eyes flashed with greed. She watched Jacob finish his code, store the program in a hard disk, and keep it in a locked drawer.
"Why are you still here?" When Jacob saw Jenny, he seemed a little surprised.
"Oh, it's nothing. The dessert is getting cold, you should eat some first." Jenny smiled, and her mind had already wandered to the hard disk in the drawer.
"I'm not hungry. I need to head out for a while. If you want to go out, the keys are on the table. Remember to lock the door," Jacob said.
"Okay." Jenny's heart raced.
