A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"Your mother?"

Zola's mother was the nanny who took care of Jacob when he was just a child. Indeed, Jacob had gratitude for her mother. However, it didn't mean that he would forgive Zola for what she had done to Emily.

Seeing Jacob's facial expression turn soft, Zola had high hopes of being exempted from punishment. So she continued,"By the way, if I hadn't done that, you wouldn't have found out that Emily was not pregnant."

There was no baby in Emily's belly. What had she done to deserve so much love from Jacob?

"So in your opinion, I should thank you for letting me know the truth, right?" asked Jacob. There was a trace of displeasure and sarcasm on his lips. Jacob turned to the bodyguards and ordered,"Take her to the place where she belongs."

"Yes, sir," The bodyguards took Zola away according to his orders.

"Mr. Jacob! Please! Please don't do that to me. I have already realized my mistakes. Just give me a chance!" Zola kept struggling and pleading incessantly. Her voice gradually faded out as she was taken away.

Emily stood by and listened to what was going on. She didn't intercede with Jacob for Zola, because she knew that Zola was just pretending to be innocent and remorseful.

"You figured out the truth so quickly," said Emily, as she marvelled at his competence.

Jacob's anger hadn't completely dissipated. However, as soon as he faced Emily, he took a long, deep breath, struggling to control his own emotions, and said gently,"When it comes to you, I will spare no effort."

Emily blushed, as she was overwhelmed by the warmth and consideration in Jacob's words. "So what the hell is going on?" she asked.

"Zola mixed some kind of medicine with the laundry detergent when she was washing my clothes, that was why you could smell its fragrance on my clothes," Jacob explained.

Although Emily had already guessed as much, the truth was still quite surprising to her. She asked earnestly,"Why did she put it on your clothes instead of mine? She just said that she likes you very much. Was she not afraid of hurting you?"
