A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

It was too late for Emily to avoid the sudden attack, as Tina poured a glass of red wine all over her chest.

The red liquid quickly sprawled down her thin dress, contaminating it with a light, red tint. Emily felt uncomfortable as her chest was completely soaked in red wine.

"That's it. Now we're dressed in different colors." Tina was very pleased with herself. She smiled gleefully and did very little to disguise her complacency.

Furious, Emily clenched her hands and raised her head. With a deadpan expression on her face, she glared at the princess-like girl who stood condescendingly before her.

Tina, who didn't want to show weakness in the face of Emily, glared back at her and asked,"What do you want? Don't give me attitude. I don't like the look in your eyes..."

Tina jested as she picked up another glass of wine to pour it on Emily's head without hesitation!

Emily turned her face away, trying to avoid Tina the second time, when suddenly a tall figure appeared before Emily. With his back facing Emily like a mountain, he managed to protect her from being drenched in wine again.

"Who dares—" Tina cursed at the man, annoyed by his interference. Soon after she raised her head to see who it was, she whispered,"Gosh! Jac...Jacob?"

'Jacob? Is she talking about "Jacob Gu"?'

Emily's heart skipped a beat at the thought of Jacob. But before she could say anything, the man took off his dinner jacket and tossed it over to Emily without looking back at her.

However, his action did not attract Tina's attention because she was too surprised to see Jacob there,"Jacob, when did you get here? I didn't mean to pour the wine on you. Why did you suddenly burst in?"

Tina said, pretending to be guilty.

'Why did Jacob protect that girl when I tried to pour the wine on her? Was Jacob attracted to her?'

The thought made Tina glare at Emily with hatred again.

Emily, however, was unaware of Tina's glare. She simply put on Jacob's dinner jacket to cover the wet part on her chest.

'How dare she...

How dare she put on the jacket of the man I admire!

She didn't deserve it!'
