Jacob caught on to the situation and leaped forward, pulling Jeremy back before he could escape.
Once Camilla reached them, she pulled at Jeremy's hair and shrieked, "Jeremy, didn't you claim that you had a say in the deal with Cosmic Chemical? How dare you lie to me and dangle the contract over my head to force me into your bed!
You b*stard!" She pounded him repeatedly as she vented her rage, and Jeremy silently endured her raining fists. A murderous aura had begun to emanate from Jacob as he understood the situation. So Jeremy was blackmailing Camilla with the contract.
If I didn't come here to sign it myself, he would've gotten away with his scheme!
Sometime later, Camilla stopped hitting Jeremy out of exhaustion. Her eyes had welled with tears as she turned to Jacob and muttered, "Jacob, I-I didn't want you to get fired. That's the only reason I agreed to this b*stard's proposal!"
"Don't worry, Camilla. I understand," he comforted her before staring daggers at Jeremy.
