A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Rose sensed a hint of pity and remorse in Jack's eyes. She bit her lip and feigned concern,"Emily, do you think you are the only one that is hurting? What about Jack? Your betrayal broke his heart into a million pieces because of how much he loved you."

'You are right, ' Emily thought, 'I betrayed Jack. He used to be nice to me, but I cheated on him with another man.'

Encouraged by Rose's words, Jack's facial expression suddenly turned stern and cold,"How dare you say that I have lied to you? You're the one who was lying to me all this time. Emily, does it feel good to date another man when you are with me?"

'He knows about Jacob then, ' Emily raised her head with no emotional fluctuation in her eyes. Her patience was wearing thin, as she soon got tired of trying to make Jack understand that he was wrong about her.

None of her explanations were met with any positive reactions.

"You are right," Emily uttered,"but it seems like you have played a better game than me."

Jack was expecting a pitiful explanation from Emily, but he did not expect Emily to own up to her mistakes so easily. Disappointed by Emily's lack of remorse, he cursed,"You really are a bitch!"

"Oh, are you talking about yourself?" Emily wanted to laugh at Jack's words, but she could not laugh, nor could she express her feelings at that moment.

"The man who saved me when I was buried under the ruins on the day of the earthquake," Emily asked,"it was not you, right?" Emily finally dropped the bomb on Jacob. That was her actual purpose of visiting Jack, but she never thought that Jack would shock her with such a big "surprise".

'It was really thoughtful of Jack, ' Emily thought ironically.

Jack totally blew a gasket, unable to tolerate Emily's arrogance. His face contorted with rage, as he suddenly grabbed Emily's shoulders so hard that it seemed like he was going to crush her bones,"You are right. I did not save you that day! It was Jacob! Are you happy now?! You two have been making fun of me from the very beginning!"

Actually, Emily found out about the truth from Sam, but she needed to be absolutely certain, so she needed Jack to admit to his misdeed.

"Why did you lie to me?"

'Why?

Because I am jealous of Jacob! Because I did not want to accept the truth!

Do you know how hard it was for me to disguise myself in front of you?' Jack cried in his heart.
