Chapter 1572 Intruder

While his medicine was being changed, Jacob kept his eyes on Emily. Although Emily's movements
were small, they betrayed her slight jealousy, and Jacob could see right through it. He wanted to laugh
at the image he saw but decided against it so that she wouldn't feel awkward.

“Emily, come here.“ Instead, after the nurse left the ward, Jacob waved to her.

“What? What do you want?“ Emily asked impatiently, her lips pursed tightly. She walked towards Jacob
without even thinking. It was like a natural movement for her. Whenever Jacob was near, she always
wanted to get close to him.

And as soon as Emily was by his side, Jacob reached out to hold her hand. If only he could sit up, he
would have kissed her already. She was looking at him with her little mouth pouted, which Jacob found
very cute.

“Why are you standing so far?“ he asked.

Emily rolled her eyes at him and sneered, “I want to give other women a chance.“

Jacob wanted to tease Emily more, but when his gaze landed at the dark circles under her eyes, he
grew soft and decided to not do it. He wanted to touch Emily's hair to make her feel appreciated, but he
could only do as much as pinch her hand.

“Thank you for taking care of me these days, Emily, but there are already so many people here to do it.
I think you should go back to your brother's place for now and have a good rest. Don't worry about me.“
Gently, he pulled Emily closer. “Besides, the children haven't seen you in days, and they must miss you
too.“

Now that he mentioned the three angels, Emily really did miss them. Before her recovery, she had had
a hard time living with the children. But recently, she had grown very close to them.



But looking at the wounds all over Jacob's body, she was still worried about him. She didn't feel
comfortable leaving him here in this state even though there were people who could actually help him
get better. She wanted to stay next to him all the way through.

While contemplating over what to do, she saw a woman lingering outside the ward. She tried her best
to not roll her eyes, but she couldn't help gritting her teeth as she looked at Jacob. “I believe that the
babies will understand me. Besides, I want to see what those women do to you,“ she said, narrowing
her eyes while she looked at some of the nurses around.

If it were not for the figure outside, Emily would have almost forgotten how many people at the hospital
were staring at Jacob.

Jacob's lips turned up to a small smile. “If you're really worried about that, I can ask the hospital to send
me only male nurses.“ Jacob immediately recognized the expression on Emily's face.

Emily heaved a sigh and shook her head. “No, Jacob. You don't need to do that.“ But then, she gasped
and playfully narrowed her eyes at him. “Wait, are you trying to send me away so that you can have a
chance to see those young girls?“ Emily asked, pretending to be angry. She even pulled her hand away
and crossed her arms against her chest.

While Jacob and Emily were in the middle of their sweet quarrel, a bodyguard suddenly approached
them to hand over the phone to Jacob.

Jacob carefully listened to the report of the person on the other line, the corners of his mouth turned
slightly upward. A few seconds later, he said coldly, “Remember to act well, and don't care about other
things. Understand?“

It turned out that Bill had taken action after leaving the KING Group. Instead of returning to his own
territory, he had gathered his men and headed to Tyrone Mansion. This was what the bodyguard told
Jacob.



Bill was not a reckless man, and he was also smart. He wouldn't do something impulsively without
thinking about it twice.

So when he arrived at Tyrone Mansion, he didn't directly rush into the house. He carefully hid in the
dark and observed the surroundings for a while.

On the outside, Tyrone Mansion seemed to be on the same level of alertness as before, judging by the
lack of security at the gates.

They stopped just a few meters from the mansion. Bill was observing the house, looking from left to
right, and even up and down, when one of his men suggested, “Boss, let's go inside.“

But Bill frowned and said, “They have almost the same security as before. That doesn't make sense. I
think something is wrong.“

If he were Jacob, he would have certainly strengthened the protection around the house knowing that
Darren was still out there, eyeing it. Besides, someone had already broken into Jacob's house once.
Although they hadn't successfully found what they were looking for, the house could be broken into
again if the security wasn't tight.

Knowing Jacob, Bill was sure that he would have arranged to tighten the security of the Tyrone
Mansion by now, but scrutinizing the house, it was obviously not the case, so it made him wonder why.

Something was wrong; he could feel it in his bones.

Slowly, Bill glanced at his men behind him. His heart was beating rapidly at this moment so he tried to
calm down.

He was already here. And even if his guts told him to turn back, he knew he couldn't do it. If he didn't
go in, all his effort would be in vain. This was his last chance. Besides, the worst thing that could



happen was that they didn't get the key. With so many people entering, they wouldn't lose anything.

Thinking of this, Bill made a gesture to his men behind him. With a heavy sigh, he motioned for them to
enter.

A group of people rushed to the Tyrone Mansion like bandits. Noticing them in the shadows, the
bodyguards of the Tyrone Mansion quickly reacted and tried their best to stop them.

Then, all of a sudden, everyone huddled up in a mess. It was too easy.

But Bill didn't notice a tall bodyguard slightly nodding to the person beside him. And there began a
good play.

“The bodyguards in Tyrone Mansion are too weak. They're too easy to fight. I think we gave them too
much credit,“ one of Bill's men said to the others.

“If there are more people on their side, will you still say that?“ another man replied, feeling a bit uneasy.

The man looked at him for a few seconds as if thinking what to say but in the end, he just shook his
head and said, “Forget it.“

Bill's men said that fighting the bodyguards outside was not difficult at all, but when they entered the
Tyrone Mansion, they realized that it was had not been as easy as it seemed. They realized that almost
all of them had been injured in the fight.

“Cut the crap and search for the key,“ Bill ordered, not caring if his men were wounded. The
bodyguards of the Tyrone Mansion tried their best to stop Bill, which dispelled a little bit of his
suspicion. But deep down, he still felt that something was wrong. He felt uneasy, like there was still
more to this invasion that they still hadn't seen.



One of his men approached him and said, “Boss, they are all tied up outside. We have counted, and
the number is still almost the same as before.“

Bill nodded slowly. “Okay, I see.“ Bill frowned, still contemplating over the situation and digging deep
into his mind to think about all the possible ways this could go wrong. He wanted to be ready, just in
case.

As if sensing his discomfort, one of his men told him, “Boss, I heard from my brothers that after Jacob
woke up, he removed the bodyguards sent by Louis and replaced them with his own people. The
bodyguards in the hospital now were transferred from Tyrone Mansion.“

Then it made sense to Bill now, why there were so few bodyguards stationed at the mansion.

Since he understood the situation better, Bill nodded without saying anything more and began to
rummage around with his men.

Tyrone Mansion was very big, and built with many rooms. Running around the premises frustrated Bill
a little. It was not easy to find a person in such a luxurious house, let alone a key. He sighed.

“Look for it carefully. The most important thing is the safe,“ Bill ordered his men.

He even checked Jacob's study room and bedroom but still found nothing.

Growing frustrated, he asked himself, “Where on earth did he put it?“ He wiped his sweat and looked
around in the living room. He closed his eyes and thought hard, recollecting all the rooms in his head
one more time in case he had missed anything. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. His eyes fell
on the children's rooms on the second floor. He played around with the idea a little bit more. 'Hmm, is it
in one of the children's rooms?'



He put himself in Jacob's shoes and thought for a moment. For Jacob, Emily and the three children
were the closest and most important people in his life.

Since the key was nowhere to be found in the study room and the bedroom, it might be in one of the
the children's rooms.

The more Bill thought about it, the more reasonable the idea seemed. He immediately went to the
rooms of the three children.

“Sure enough, Jacob. Since you have a family, your thoughts are easy to read,“ Bill murmured to
himself. After searching for a while, he finally found the safe in Baron's room.

Bill smiled widely, thinking about the hardships he had had to endure to find it. “Open it,“ he ordered. A
few minutes later, Bill's eyes lit up at the sight of the key in his hand. He had waited for this moment.

One of his men asked, “Boss, is that the key that you are looking for?“ “Boss, you're so awesome! We
looked for it here for a long time, but we didn't find it. You found it as soon as you came!“ one of his
men chimed in, looking at the key excitedly.

Bill looked at him, and then took out his phone.
