Ever since Rosalynn's arrival, Jacob's assistant had been on high alert.
After Rosalynn brought Jacob home, instead of leaving, the assistant stayed in the garage, on standby until dusk.
At night, he couldn't hold on and fell asleep on the steering wheel.
Just then, Jacob's exclusive ringtone rang.
"President Strand!" he called out.
"Come in." Jacob's voice was a bit hoarse.
The assistant wondered if Jacob had caught a cold from the rain.
As he opened the car door, he was thinking about where the cold medicine might be in the first aid kit.
Entering the room, the assistant saw Jacob sitting on the sofa in his pajamas.
The assistant was a bit shocked.
President Strand seemed... different.
Lately, there had been a certain oppressive atmosphere around President Strand. But now, it was gone. He seemed calm.
Mrs. Silverman is amazing, the assistant thought. She could soothe Mr. Silverman in three seconds flat and now she's tamed the fiery President Strand!
"President Strand!" the assistant approached Jacob.
Jacob looked up at him.
Although the traces on his face were faint, the assistant could tell that Jacob had been crying.
"There are three things here for you."
Jacob pointed at three file bags on the table.
"What are these..."
Kenny looked over with a bad feeling.
"It's a declaration renouncing my rights to the inheritance."
Kenny was shocked.
"President Strand, you can't casually discuss matters of inheritance!"
"Of course I'm not saying it casually. I hope you can read it out at the next Strand Group shareholders meeting next month."
Kenny looked at Jacob, feeling like he was making final arrangements.
"President Strand, what are you doing? Didn't Miss Erica ask you to take care of yourself? Do you even want to live?!"
Jacob was annoyed by Kenny's shouting, "I'm not saying I'm going to die. Can't you think of something positive?"
"Then what are you doing?"
