A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

The servants all kept quiet for a few seconds, and then one of them spoke up,"We are going to tell Mr. Gu the truth unless you pay us three times of our salary. Zola, you will fall on hard times in due course."

"Fine, three times it is. I am going to pay you now!" yelled Zola. It was her duty to pay the servants. Zola had to make compromises with them and pay them what they had asked for, regardless of whether she was angry or not.

Meanwhile, Jacob and Emily were upstairs.

"Are you unhappy?" asked Jacob suddenly, as he looked into Emily's eyes.

Emily shook her head and answered with a slight smile on her lips,"No, I am fine."

Emily thought that it was quite normal for the servants to misunderstand her as a vain and mammonist woman. If she were in their shoes, she might have felt the same way as they did.

What about Jacob? What did he think of her?

Jacob gazed deeply into Emily's eyes, as if he was trying to read her mind. "You don't have to pay attention to what others say. I believe you.

People should live for themselves, not for others. Find joy in your own life. The most important thing is to have a clear conscience," said Jacob.

"Have a clear conscience..." Emily repeated his words contemplatively. The doubts in her mind were eventually diminished, and finally she said,"I understand now."

Jacob was a mature man with an outstanding faculty, charming personality and a profound understanding of life, who could always make her understand the things that she did not understand before.

Emily had a smile on her face as Jacob squeezed her rosy cheeks with great pleasure.

Since the two of them got together, Jacob would take care of all her necessities, such as her food, clothes, shelter, transportation and even her emotional problems. He would solve all of her troubles without hesitation.

Jacob felt like the responsibility of taking care of Emily rested upon him, because she was his girl.

"When you are feeling better, you should come to the Gu Consortium," he said.
