A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Jack could not believe that the forces he had been deliberately cultivating for some time would be so vulnerable when it came to Jacob. Saving Emily's father, and sending all of Jack's people to jail, was just a piece of cake for someone like Jacob!

Before this, Jack thought that he had grown strong enough to confront Jacob, since he had already gained his position in the company, which is why he dared to threaten Emily in the first place. He was no longer afraid of Jacob stepping in; in fact, he was looking forward to it.

However, little did Jack know that his naivety would get the best of him! Speaking of planning all the tricks and schemes, he was far from being experienced compared to Jacob. In any case, a fall into the pit, a gain in his wit. Jack still had a long way to go.

Jack was angrier now, for he knew that his failure would only make Emily rely more on Jacob and love him more deeply.

It was a double whammy! Jack's failure had caused his anger to consume him.

Even though this time Emily's father was safe and sound, Jack had exasperated Emily once and for all. She could forgive his transgressions towards her, but when it came to family, Emily's heart would show no mercy. This time Jack had overstepped the line!

Considering the past they had shared, Emily had thought about forgiving Jack. After all, mistakes were made on both sides and they had shared a real relationship before. However, it did not mean that she would let Jack get away with threatening and humiliating her family. Since Jack had already declared that he would not let Emily lead a peaceful life, why would she still tolerate him? Emily wanted him to be punished for what he had done!

In the LA office.

Emily and Jacob were sitting face to face, handling the company affairs together, which was something she had never done with him before. It wasn't until then when Emily finally realized that Jacob was a genius in handling businesses!

Jacob would point out the problems she did not understand, explain them to her in the easiest way and work out the most reasonable solutions in the shortest time.

Emily felt nervous, intimidated by his prowess. As the CEO of the Gu Consortium, wasn't he overqualified to be helping her with the affairs of a small company? Emily felt like she was wasting his talents.

Why was she feeling guilty about it?
