A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily took the flower cautiously, and took a glimpse at the people's faces. An inexplicable sense of warmness overwhelmed her from the bottom of her heart.

"Just as long as it doesn't happen again."

Embarrassed, they lowered their heads and said," Emily, from now on we will do our best to distinguish right from wrong, and we will never be so emotional and impulsive ever again. Thank you for your magnanimity."

In truth, they were all righteous young men with integrity and values. They had acted impulsively under the incitement of wicked-minded people who took advantage of their hatred for both plagiarism and people's lack of awareness of copyright protection laws.

Now that they all felt remorseful for what they had done, they had learned their lessons and corrected their errors.

After everything had been unclouded, Emily exchanged a few words with them. When she was about to leave, the crowd rushed up to her again, frantically, and pleaded," Miss Bai, can I have your autograph, please?

"Emily, I am your fan now!"

"Emily! Emily, can I get a photo taken with you?"

The crowd was wildly enthusiastic, as if they were huge fans of Emily. She had never encountered anything like this before; thus she didn't know how to react at all. "Take your time. Be careful. Please don't push..."

The twittering crowd soon drown out Emily's voice; she was surrounded on all sides. Someone bumped into her by accident; before she could react, she had lost her footing---

"Ahh..." Emily let out a short and desperate cry. Although much to her surprise, the pain from the fall did not come to her as expected. Just as she was about to fall to the ground, someone with strong arms grabbed her and pulled her to a safe embrace.

The person helped her get back on her feet, before she had the time to see his face. Firmly holding her wrist with his big hand, he quickly ran away from the crowd with her.

The crowd was puzzled at Emily's sudden disappearance. By the time they realized that Emily had escaped, she was already far away from the crowd.

Seeing the two of them escape together, one of the girls in the crowd asked," Who is that man taking Emily away?" He looks a lot like Jacob..."

Another girl looked at the same direction, but neither could she recognize who the man was," Why would Jacob come here? You must be seeing things."

"Maybe," The other girl conceded.
