A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily dropped her guard, "Where is he? Can I see him?"

Before Sean could answer her, a familiar voice interrupted them, "Why do you want to see me?"

"Victor..." Emily looked at the direction of the voice and saw the man who came in. He still looked as cold and emotionless as ever.

She said, "Victor, thank you so much for saving me," her voice was quivering.

"That wasn't my plan, that wasn't my intention, you know, to save you," Victor looked down at her pale face, and there was a breath of distance in him. He said, "But I don't want to disappoint Anne."

Emily was taken aback. She quickly said, "Either way, you still saved me and I just wanted to thank you."

"There's no need for you to thank me. That doesn't mean anything to me," he said coldly.

Emily was dumbfounded at how Victor was treating her. She always felt that there was something different in Victor. Those cold eyes pierced through her and only when he mentioned Anne did it slightly soften.

Victor's eyes fell casually on her stomach. "Jacob's? Does he know that you're here?"

Emily's eyes dimmed and she instinctively bit her lower lip.

It was obvious that Victor already knew something. His lips curved into a knowing smile, "You know, you really are something."

Of course, a woman who could cheat on Jacob would definitely be something.

But as to how Jacob felt, they didn't know.

'That's good!' Victor thought. Unhappy people like him didn't want to see other people happy too.

"I..." Emily opened her mouth in an attempt to explain but it was like she was physically unable to speak as if something was clogging her throat.
