A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily stood dumbfounded as she felt the journalists' stares burrowing at her. He walked to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, "Many people from the Internet insulted her, causing her trauma! As her boyfriend, I will make sure that those who made those snarky comments will be dealt with!"

Then he turned to her with a soft expression on his face and whispered, comforting her, "Don't worry. I will make sure justice is served for you."

Wait? Justice?

He didn't need to get justice for her. Those rumors were actually true. He was the one who needed justice more than she did! She did so many bad things on him, so why was he still willing to protect her like this?

"Jacob, I..." Before Emily could finish her words, Jacob pressed a finger on her lips to silence her.

"Emily, hush now. All you need to do is love me," he raised her chin up a bit and gave her a sweet kiss.

All the journalists present and Jacob's henchmen were shocked by the kiss. "What a scoop!" Everyone did their best to catch the kiss on video and on photos. It was definitely going to be hot in the headlines tomorrow.

Before anyone could have noticed, the table was replaced with a red carpet with golden trimmings. It just really proved Jacob Gu's high social status.

Jacob gave Emily a gentle smile, amused with how awkward she felt. He snapped his hand and a beautiful song from a piano started to play.

"W-Wait. Where did all that music coming from?" Emily muttered, wide-eyed.

She searched for the source of the music until she set her sight at the piano placed next to the stage. The journalists followed her eyes. A gorgeous, golden-haired pianist played it expertly.

People started to whisper amongst themselves, "Who is he? Why does he look so familiar?"

"W-Wait! That's Phil! He's a famous pianist!" one exclaimed, "The videos of him playing the piano get millions of views!"

They all stared in awe. Hiring Phil to play at their proposal sure indeed had proven Jacob's status. The journalists started to feel excited on what would happen next.

Camera were all focused on them. TV Networks started airing the event unfolding in front of them.
