A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 141 I Can Always See Through A Twerp

Emily was stunned for a moment before she said,"You know what? I was completely baffled by Victor's strange attitude too. I won't hide it from you, but I thought he was being overtly affectionate to me."

It was hard to imagine how a man as cold as Victor would have any desire for her. Turned out Jacob was right to be doubtful of Victor. As for Emily, the most important thing was having her name cleared.

In Jacob's loving arms, Emily was comfortably lost in her thoughts. Suddenly, tearing himself apart from her, Jacob stared at her for a moment and then said,"But, Victor said that it was you who tried to seduce him."

"You've got to be kidding me!" Emily cried out without hesitation. Then she continued,"How could Mr. Victor say something like that?"

"Don't you believe me?" asked Jacob.

"Of course not!"

In an instant, Jacob's facial expression hardened as he scoffed,"Then why should I believe you?

Assuming Jacob was about to blow up in anger, Emily cautiously held his hand and asked,"Did he...really?"

Emily shook her head in disbelief, refusing to believe that Victor would discredit her like that. After all, she was a longtime admirer of Victor's talent and noble character.

"I was reluctant to believe that too," said Jacob. He somehow feigned a smile, as if he had seen right through Emily, and continued,"Victor is not the kind of man who would actively seduce a girl."

Before Jacob said anything else, Emily stared at him with eyes wide open, causing him to abandon his train of thoughts. Moments later, he heard Emily say,"I'll take a guess...may be that man was not Victor. Perhaps it was someone who was impersonating him."

As soon as Emily finished her words, she was awarded with a flick to forehead by Jacob. "Hey!" she glared at him.

"You twerp," Jacob teased Emily.

"But Mr. Victor would not care for me, would he? I feel quite sure about that!" assured Emily.

Jacob agreed with Emily. He also believed that it was impossible for Victor to care for Emily, but he couldn't figure out why Victor would lie to him. "Anyway, stay away from him," insisted Jacob.

"But, we work in the same company..." said Emily, sounding helpless.
