A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Zola had to bite down her anger, otherwise it would do her more harm than good. She silently agreed to the deal so that she could at least get 1 million. After all, something was better than nothing.

Tina shooed Zola away, as if she were a dog begging for a piece of meat. "Go away as far as you can and you'd better not let me or Jacob see you again!" said Tina.

"Of course, Miss Tina," replied Zola.

'Tina Tao, ' Zola etched that name deep in her heart.

Sitting in her chair, Tina admired her nails with great satisfaction and a peace of mind.

'Zola was useless, but at least, it is good to know that Emily is not pregnant.

Emily is such a bitch. How could she have the honor of carrying Jacob's baby? Hmph!'

Tina found out from Zola that Emily was living in Tyrone Mansion, but she couldn't figure out what Emily was doing there. Nevertheless, nothing good could come from it.

For her devious schemes to work out, Tina had to somehow get Emily out of there, or else all her efforts would be in vain.

Tina was lost in deep thoughts when an idea popped in her head like a lightbulb, followed with a flash of complacence in her eyes.

Several days later, in the Tyrone Mansion.

Jacob had not come back for several days since he left that night. Meanwhile, Emily was still under house arrest. Needless to say, she tried to escape a few times, but she failed.

Emily knew that the servants would never let her leave the mansion without Jacob's permission.

After breakfast, Emily stood in front of the window to bask under the radiant sunlight. It was a beautiful, sunny day.

"Miss Emily..." said a maid, as she came to her from behind.

"Don't worry. I won't jump from the window to escape," said Emily, with a tinge of sarcasm.

They had all been keeping their watchful eyes on her, so it was virtually impossible for her to escape.
