A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

There was a time when Jack had every intention of marrying Emily, and if she had agreed to marry Jack, his grandfather would have given them his blessings, even though she had came from a lower class family.

This would be very different for Jacob as old Mr. Gu had always thought very highly of him. If he were to marry Emily, she would not have been welcomed into the Gu Family, as old Mr. Gu would never allow a woman of her status to be the wife of the highest authority of the Gu family, even though he was more tolerant and lenient towards Jacob.? Not to mention the fact that the two of them had been at odds with each other because of this woman. That alone was enough for her to die several times over.

"And you, Emily," said Jack. A strange expression slowly appeared on Jack's face as he sneered," Do you really believe that you can marry into the Gu family just because you got pregnant with Jacob's child? Oh wait, I forgot; you even faked your pregnancy to win his favor..."

Jack had received the news long before it even graced Tina's ears.

"And if you're really pregnant, I feel sorry for you. Do you know what you'll end up with...?" continued Jack.

The cold and harsh tone made Emily's heart shiver. The next second, Jacob interrupted Jack as he yelled," Shut up!"

Jack felt pretty good about himself after making Jacob feel indignant. Even the old wounds and pain in the bottom of his heart seemed to have been alleviated, as he sneered," You should really look out for yourself, ha ha ha..."

Emily, let's see if Jacob had the ability to protect you, or if he would give up everything from the Gu family just to marry you!

"Get out of here!" Jacob yelled again. Jacob's eyes were cold, but his insides were boiling with fiery fury.

After Jack had finally left, Emily felt somewhat uneasy. Suddenly taken by curiosity, she couldn't help asking," Jacob, what did Jack mean by what he just said?"

"Nothing, don't worry about it," Jacob casually brushed off Emily's worries.

"Oh." Since Jacob didn't want to talk about it, Emily decided to stop pursuing her curiosity.

A moment later, she felt Jacob's sigh above her head. It was very subtle, perhaps too subtle to notice, and then suddenly she was pulled into the arms of a loving man, as he said," Don't worry, I will protect you."

Emily closed her eyes, not knowing how or why she felt safe in his arms. "Okay," she whispered.
