A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Jack could hardly control his malevolence towards Emily, as if the fury suppressed in his heart would decrease each time he insulted Emily.

Emily bit her lip for a second before asking," Is that what you call 'fun', Mr. Gu?"

"Certainly it is!"

It was obvious that Jack was not completely over Emily. He used to love and cherish her very much, but she betrayed him!

The thought of Emily's betrayal brought back many resentful memories, so instead of reflecting on himself, the only thing he wanted to do was to destroy Emily!

"I have no time to play such childish games with you, Jack."

"Childish? It's you who is in need of money, not me," Jack said with an evil smile on his handsome face, then he continued," Victor was at least the President of LA Jewelry, didn't he give you any money, Emily?"

Emily raised her head," Why would he give me money?"

"I am no stranger to your hookup with Victor! You are a fast learner, Emily!"

Emily figured that Jack had lost his mind, she said," I don't care if you defame me, but don't involve Victor; our affairs have nothing to do with him."

Suddenly, the whole room fell silent. Clearly, they had some unfinished business between them, so everyone decided to keep quiet and listen to them.

"Nothing to do?" Hearing Emily defend another man made Jack grind his teeth in anger, he asked," I want to know, do you regret what you have done? You're nothing without me!"

"Huh!" Emily sneered at him and continued," I have never coveted anything from you when we were together, what could I possibly care about after our breakup?"

"Do you think you are special? You are nothing but the eldest son of Gu family! You've never worked for your money; every penny you spend comes from your family, so what's so great about you? You merely adorn yourself with borrowed plumes!"

Emily's words hit straight in the heart of Jack, whose face turned taut with anger almost instantaneously. Jack had no patience for such insolence, the next moment he burst out screaming," Emily, dare you repeat what you've said?" He wanted to strangle her, then and there.
