A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"Jacob, how dare she mock me!" Tina complained. Tina wanted so bad to split up Jacob and Emily, especially after seeing them being intimate in front of her.

Jacob didn't even look at Tina, as he said,"I like to hear her laughing. Emily, please laugh more for me."

Emily looked back at Jacob and laughed obediently,"Hahaha..."

Tina had reached the breaking point of her patience. You could see the anger first in her eyes, then a tension of her muscles, and the inability to think clearly soon followed. She tried hard to fight against the urge of flipping the table in their faces. She was so overwhelmed with anger that she lost her appetite.

She glared at Emily angrily, as her fingers curled into a fist. She could see Emily's neck snapping in her mind and it felt good.

Oddly enough, even though Tina was drunk with rage, she did not walk away. Instead, she forced herself to suppress the anger and sat still.

However, neither Jacob nor Emily gave her any attention, as they merrily carried on with their lunch. Occasionally, Jacob would feed Emily with his own spoon.

Tina wasn't sure whether she was more jealous or angry at Emily, as she looked at her scornfully and said,"Emily, you don't look like you've used to eating western-style cuisines, right?"

Emily froze and dreaded what was about to come out of Tina's mouth.

"When eating a steak, you need to hold the end of your knife and fork and put the forefinger on the handle. You need to hold the meat in one place with your fork, cut a mouthful of meat with the knife, and then dip it in sauce before putting it in your mouth," she said. Tina continued, disdainfully,"This is a general rule for eating a steak. Emily's table manners aren't exactly up to standard and the way she ate looked awkward."

'Hum, what a country bumpkin! Even the blood that flows in her vein is cheap!'

Emily bit her lip softly and looked up at the beautiful and arrogant girl in front of her.

Tina was certain she had hit a nerve this time.

"In essence a steak is just a piece of beef. It's up to me how I want to enjoy it. To me it's simply eating the food, instead of a performance of etiquette,"
