Daddy! Come Home for Dinner! Chapter 987

Chapter 987: Chapter 987: We’ve Reached the Point of Discussing Marriage_1 Chapter 987: Chapter 987: We’ve Reached the Point of Discussing Marriage_1 Peggy Lewis’s eyes widened in shock at Jacob Zahn’s outrageous statement.

She had never liked Jacob Zahn, she had always intuitively felt that he was a terrible person.

The vibes she got from Jacob Zahn were usually unsettling.

Today, after learning about his affair with Mr.

Houston, she was certain that Jacob Zahn’s character was flawed.

But she never imagined Jacob Zahn could sink so low.

He kept finding new levels of depth to his depravity.

At first, Abigail Ackehurst and Clara Evans were puzzled, but they soon turned around.

They got along well with Peggy Lewis and knew she was single.

But they had no clue why Jacob Zahn, who secretly liked Peggy Lewis, would keep denying his feelings while trying to act as though he was above her.

That’s why they were sure that Peggy and Jacob weren’t dating.

The others were still in shock, frozen in place.

Joel and Sis Anita, in particular, who weren’t particularly close to either Peggy Lewis or Jacob Zahn, were taken aback.

They had a generational gap with their younger colleagues, which made it hard for them to find common topics to converse about.

As they grew older, they were not that enthusiastic about social gatherings.

So, they had a hard time judging the truth of Jacob Zahn’s words.

Peggy came to her senses first.

Just when she was about to deny it, a deep masculine voice resonated, “Really?

How come I’m not aware of it?”
The crowd turned around in surprise – it was Lyke Zhekova!

Lyke Zhekova was still composed, his demeanor did not show any signs of rush.

No one could guess that he had just run all the way from the entrance of the company to here.

Peggy was utterly surprised.

This time, she was completely bewildered.

Why would Lyke Zhekova be here!

Without acknowledging anyone else, Lyke Zhekova reached out and pulled Peggy Lewis towards him, “Are you okay?”
Anxiously, Lyke Zhekova asked Peggy Lewis, “What exactly did Jacob Zahn do to you just now?”
“Just now?” Peggy blinked, “Are you the one who just called?”
Lyke Zhekova nodded, he had initially called to get Peggy’s personal contact information.

But who would’ve thought that in the process, he would hear Jacob Zahn harassing her.

Peggy shook her head, “It’s alright, my colleagues intervened in time.

He didn’t do anything.”
Regaining her composure, Peggy quickly said: “Just now…

what he said was not true, I am not with him!”
“I have absolutely nothing to do with him!

We’re just colleagues.” Peggy hurriedly explained.

Even though she was flustered earlier, she wasn’t as agitated as she was now.

She didn’t know why she was so afraid of being misunderstood at this moment.

Lyke Zhekova nodded slightly, smiled, and said, “I know.”
Cindy Clarke is her best friend, and she had always said that Peggy was single.

How could Peggy possibly have a boyfriend?

Moreover, even if Peggy was really looking for a boyfriend, she wouldn’t be so blind as to choose Jacob Zahn.

Lyke Zhekova always trusted Peggy’s judgment of character.

Hearing Lyke Zhekova say this, Peggy heaved a sigh of relief.

She was too obvious about it, forcing Lyke Zhekova to stifle his laughter.

The rest were now in a state of shock.

Peggy …

and Lyke Zhekova…

Why would Lyke Zhekova be here!

And why does he seem so close to Peggy!

“Are you sure you’re not hurt?” Lyke Zhekova asked with concern.

Peggy shook her head, “I’m really fine.”
Lyke Zhekova had keen eyes, noticing a faint different color on her wrist.

He immediately grabbed her hand and rolled up her sleeve.

This revealed Peggy’s forearm.

Her wrist and forearm were covered with the marks of fingers.

These were the traces left by Jacob Zahn’s grip.

Peggy’s skin was extremely fair, making these bruises particularly distinct.

“And you said you weren’t hurt!” Lyke Zhekova stared unhappily at the bruises on Peggy’s arm, his face full of displeasure.

Peggy hadn’t noticed the bruises on her wrist and arm.

She had only felt Jacob Zahn’s grip powerful and her arm had pained, but she didn’t realize it was bruised.

The crowd was shocked to see that Lyke was still holding Peggy’s hand.

Was Peggy really close to Lyke Zhekova?

That was totally unexpected!

Peggy was too low-key then!

Probably Peggy hadn’t used her connections before; otherwise, Jacob Zahn wasn’t needed to sacrifice his body for the negotiations with Majestic!

“Jacob Zahn, you’ve gone too far!” Clara Evans angrily exclaimed.

Jacob Zahn tried to defend himself with a thick face, “Peggy, I know, you’re denying our relationship because you’re angry at me.”
“I lost control of my strength because I was upset at losing the business.

I didn’t want to hurt you.” Jacob Zahn said.

“I was just holding your hand while talking to you.

I didn’t control my strength for a moment, but otherwise, I didn’t do anything wrong, did I?” Jacob Zahn shamelessly carried on.

“Peggy, stop messing around.

I know you’re angry with me, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have blamed you.

This was the decision of the higher-ups, you didn’t have a say in it, I know.” Jacob Zahn said.

“Let’s just make up, okay?” Jacob Zahn cajoled gently, as though trying to appease his angry girlfriend.

“I know I was wrong, be angry at me, how about I let you pay me back?” Jacob Zahn even wore a gentle smile.

But this smile made Peggy Lewis feel nauseous.

“Peggy, no matter what, we can’t break up.” Jacob Zahn said, “After all, we’re at the stage where we’re discussing marriage.”
Peggy looked unbelievingly at Jacob Zahn, “Jacob Zahn, are you out of your mind!”
Jacob Zahn, however, didn’t bother with Peggy Lewis, instead he turned to others, “We’ve always kept our relationship a secret because we were afraid it would be inconvenient if our relationship was made public at the workplace.”
“But now, I have no choice but to say it.” said Jacob Zahn.

“I have nothing to do with you!” Peggy shouted angrily.

How could there be such a shameless person!

“Peggy, you…” Jacob Zahn seemed deeply hurt, and he sighed deeply, “How can you deny it?”
“I really have nothing to do with him!” Peggy got anxious, and turned to tug on Lyke’s sleeve.

“I know,” Lyke nodded, “don’t worry, I believe you.”
Somehow, hearing Lyke say that, Peggy felt inexplicably at ease.

“Peggy.” Jacob Zahn looked eagerly at Peggy.

He was portraying himself as a poor man who had been heartlessly dumped by Peggy.

Lyke Zhekova completely ignored Jacob Zahn and his shenanigans, instead, his gaze was preoccupied with Peggy’s arm.

These were just the injuries he could see; there might be more beneath her clothing.

Lyke Zhekova then held Peggy by the shoulders, saying, “Let’s go, I will give you leave for this afternoon.”
With that, he led Peggy out of the room.

Peggy opened her mouth, “I was planning to contact Mr.

Martin about the partnership this afternoon.”
