A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Jacob searched all over Dark Area, but found no trace of Emily. The only person he found there was Emily's mother Debby, who was locked up in a room.

Trembling with fear, Von, stood still facing Jacob, as he tried hard to push the words out of his mouth,"Mr. Jacob, if you could show me a photo of Ms. Emily, I..."

Before he could finish talking, Jacob threw his phone straight to Von's face, hitting him on the head, hard.

As the phone slowly slid down his face, Von quickly caught a glimpse at the screen and widened his eyes at the photo of Emily. "She...She was sold to a buyer at that auction, just earlier today," Von stuttered.

The moment the news hit Jacob's ears, he glared at Von with fire burning in his eyes, as if he were the Devil. Then he raised the corners of his mouth, forming a cold smile, and asked,"Well? How much did this buyer pay for her?"

Trembling with immense fear, Von cowered in terror. How he wished he could just vanish into thin air instead of facing the demon that stood in front of him. "Fift...Fifty million..." he stuttered.

'Thud!' Before he knew it, Jacob pinned him against the wall. And then Jacob bashed his head backward onto the wall demandingly until finally blood ran from the back of his head and soaked his clothes on the way down. When Von opened his eyes, he could hardly see anything as his face was covered in his own blood. For a moment, he truly believed that he was dead.

'Fifty million? Who dared to buy my girl with just fifty million?

I would like to see that man in person, ' thought Jacob.

At the St. Li Hospital in M Country.

When Emily opened her eyes, she found herself lying in a white painted room. The smell of disinfectant filled her nose as she breathed in.

Emily lay there for a while, before the memories of what happened yesterday flooded back into her mind. 'It must be the man who was wearing a silver mask that brought me here, ' she thought.

"You are awake." Suddenly, Emily's thoughts were interrupted by a man's deep voice. She turned to the voice and saw the face of a man she never expected to see standing there at the door—It was Victor!
