A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Sam glanced through the entire room, as if he had no inkling what had been going on here.

Jack made no effort to conceal his surprise, "My uncle? He is here?"

"Mr. Jacob has grown quite fond of jewelry, as of late, " Sam explained, "so he has taken great interest in this jewelry design competition."

A feeling of happiness suddenly overwhelmed Rose. 'Did you hear what he said?' she said to herself, 'Jacob Gu, CEO of the Gu family consortium! The man behind the real power of the Gu family!'

If she could manage to win this competition and impress Jacob Gu, she would definitely have a bright future! And who knows, he may even take a fancy to her...

Letting her imaginations run wild, Rose got excited at the thought of Jacob Gu.

Jack, however, sensed something unusual. Jacob could have called Jack's phone, but instead he had sent his assistant to find him. What could be the reason? 'Maybe he had something really important to talk to me about?'

Jack thought to himself, rejecting his previous notion. "Now?" he asked in a serious tone.

"Yes, Mr. Jack. Please don't keep Mr. Jacob waiting, " Sam nodded. Jack was convinced by Sam's sense of urgency.

Jack knew very well what a man like Jacob would do if he were kept waiting for too long. He looked over his shoulder to see Emily standing still with her thin lips tightened into a thin line. He paused for a moment to think and eventually stepped out of the room in a hurry without looking back.

'Finally!' Emily's mind was finally put to ease.

She could not believe what had just happened. With a sigh of relief she pondered, 'If Jacob is in my room right now... Sam must have lied to the others?'

'Everything has gone wrong!' Rose thought. She couldn't accept the unsatisfying end to her plans!

She was certain that there was something fishy going on in Emily's room. But since Jack had left, she could not rush into the room by herself.
