A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

From the balcony at the end of the floor came a whiff of cigarette smoke.

Jack walked towards the balcony and found Jacob coughing in the corner. The next moment, Jacob's fist was whizzing towards Jack.

Jack quickly jumped sideways, evading Jacob's attack. With disdain in Jack's eyes he said," Jacob, you are not as nimble as before."

Jacob stared at him expressionlessly, retaining a natural aura of power.

Due to Jacob's physical condition, he was no match for Jack at that moment. Jack snorted," I've heard that you got badly injured. Shouldn't you be in bed resting instead of disgracing yourself here?"

Jack had always been respectful of Jacob, but that was before he had learned that Jacob was having an affair with Emily! As a man who also fancied Emily, Jack could not put up with it!

"Maybe it is you needs to behave yourself," said Jacob, his eyes were as cold as ice.

"Hope you can always hold your confidence."

"You lied to her," said Jacob, all of a sudden.

Jack tensed up at Jacob's words, quickly realizing that Jacob was talking about the fact that he had deliberately kept the truth about the earthquake from Emily. He arrogantly lashed out," So what? What matters is that we have set aside our differences, and I will do whatever is necessary to keep it that way."

"What is it that you really want?"

Jacob did not believe a single word coming out of Jack's mouth. Jack was notoriously popular for being petty and narrow-minded; he wasn't the kind of man who could turn a blind eye to what Emily had done to him in the past.

Strangely enough, Jack looked calm as ever, considering the circumstances. What did Jack intend on doing?

Jack could see right through Jacob. Just the memory of seeing him with Emily that day, was like a dagger to his heart. With a cold face, Jack said," What I do or don't want to do, is none of your business. Most importantly, matters between me and Emily are exclusive just to us, and you have nothing to do with it."

After a pause, Jacob chuckled," You are right. And I am looking forward to hearing the news of your break-up with her."

His wish was like a curse, piercing through Jack's ears word by word.
