A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 245 Are You So Shameless As to Ask

Envy eventually appeared in Jack's eyes, and it grew thicker with every passing moment. His voice was soft but cruel, "So what, Emily? You've been tainted by me. Even if he comes back, he won't want you..."

"Pat!" Emily slapped Jack hard across the face!

Jack staggered back, a red welt showing ghastly across his cheek. He turned slowly and came across Emily's hateful eyes.

"Jack, knowing you has been the most regretful part of my entire life," she said.

Jack's heart stopped beating for a moment and his stomach fell into a bottomless pit of despair. He felt like he was going to collapse at any moment.

Desperate to gain her trust, he wanted to tell her the truth about that night, but he swallowed his words, instead he said, "There's no point in living in regret, because I will be be tangling with you all my life."

"Don't make me hate you more," said Emily.

"You already hate me, don't you? So you might as well add a little more hate to it," he teased. Jack curved his lips upward and smiled menacingly, "If you are doomed not to love me, then I'd rather have you hate me.

Either way, I want you to remember me all your life!" he said.

"You're a disgusting psychopath!" she exclaimed. Emily had lost the will to continue arguing with him. She got up and turned around to leave, when Jack grabbed her hand from behind. "Where are you off to?

Emily, where are you going?" he asked. Jack gently tugged her arm and added, "Your foster parents want to hurt you. What do you plan on doing about that?"

"It's none of your business. Let me go!" she yelled.

"No, I will not! Emily, please, let me help you! I don't want you to get hurt!" he insisted.

"I don't need your help. And most of all, I don't need your pity..." Emily's head throbbed in agony. Squeezing her eyes shut, she willed the pain to go away. "Please, just let me go and stop pestering..." she pleaded.
