A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 232 How Many Times She Hurt Me

Jacob paused in silence, for about a second. Jacob narrowed his gaze and glared at Emily's foster parents, unblinking. Eventually, he sighed deeply and complied with Emily's decision.

Stunned, a shiver raced through them, as they didn't expect to see such a sudden change in Jacob's temperament. With no other choice, he nodded at them and said, "She wants you to come in. But if you say or do something you shouldn't, you are going to regret it.

Don't think that just because you've raised Emily, you'll have a guaranteed, all-expenses-paid-for, future. She may have a soft corner for you, but I don't. I can still deal with the two of you, without anybody knowing anything.

So, do not overstep your bounds and do not overstay your welcome. Most importantly, do not cross me."

Once Jacob finished talking, Andrew and Debby cowered in terror as they looked to the ground, yielding to his warning.

"Get inside," he said. Only with Jacob's permission did they dare to set their feet past the gate.

In the spacious living room, Emily had been waiting patiently for a while. Her sights were set on a tea cup that one of the servants had passed to her. She sat there expressionless, and one could hardly figure what she was thinking.

This was the first time Debby had seen Emily like this, but she was forced to swallow the pill as she slowly approached her with Andrew at her side.

"Emily, I am here to see you. So is your father..." Debby said nervously.

Emily looked up at them, covering the sadness in her eyes. "Sit down, please," she said, emotionlessly.

Debby and Andrew sat down in front of her, cautiously and timidly.

"Jacob, I would like to have some moment with them alone. Could you please wait for me up there?" Emily requested.

Though there was a hint of dissatisfaction under Jacob's eyes, when she looked at him, he gave into her and agreed. "Fine, but don't waste your precious time talking to them for too long," he said.

"Don't worry. I've got this," Emily replied, and smiled at Jacob assuringly.
