A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily had just hung up the phone and she was in her bedroom, tossing and turning. When she finally calmed down, she realized she made a mistake in having the call in the first place.

Knowing Jacob, it wouldn't surprise her if Jacob was able to track her down via that call alone. She must leave M country right away.

Emily regretted her sloppiness but what she didn't know was Jacob was in M Country too and Jacob was going to find her sooner or later.

Emily started to pack a few things till she realized, how could she leave? Should she still go to Victor for help? But she had already caused him so much trouble.

And only Sean could save her and her child...

After pondering on it for a while, Emily decided to call Sean and ask for his advice. She told him that she was planning to leave but she didn't say why.

Sean seemed to be quite relaxed when he offered, "Then go to D Country. That's where my hometown is. It's a bit sudden but you look like my sister. Like I said, I've always wanted to show you to my parents..."

Emily was taken aback, she bit her lip, and said, "Is that... appropriate?"

"Miss Emily, is it okay if you do me this favor? Will you? My mother's had poor health for years, still upset and grieving over my sister's death..."

"... Okay, I will," Emily took a deep breath and then asked, "Can we go now?"

"Now?" Sean sounded a bit surprised but he didn't press it, "Okay, I'll pick you up in a while."

Sean wasted no time. He immediately drove to the manor to pick Emily up. So no matter how fast Jacob was, he was still one step behind that when he got there. All he found was an empty manor.

Bang! He landed his fist on the wall, angry and anxious at the same time.

But Emily really didn't want to be found. Because even if Jacob said that he would be willing to compromise, Emily wouldn't believe a word of it. She was so quick. How could she be gone?

Someone must be helping her!
