A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Jennifer was shocked to see Emily but she quickly downplayed the situation and gave a bitter smile. "I was wondering who it was. It's just you, Emily. Am I interrupting something?" said Jennifer.

Emily, however, cast a short glance at her and did not say anything in response.

Emily's ignorant attitude irritated Jennifer. However, an ambiguous expression slowly appeared on her face as she fixed her hair and clothes, and then coyly said, "I'm sorry you've had to see me in such a condition. I blame Jacob for being extra wild last night. I felt so weak in the morning, I got up late and didn't have the time to put on make up."

Clearly, Jennifer was suggesting that Jacob had slept with her last night. Immediately, Jacob's face twisted with anger and he shouted, "Who let her out?"

'Everything she said is bullshit! Do not believe her, Emily!' Jacob yelled in his mind.

Before long, the guards behind Jennifer came to take her away and lock her back in the room.

But Jennifer struggled and watched Emily's reaction as she yelled, "Jacob, why would you cheat on me and bring another woman in your house?

I am your fiancée! You asked me to live here with you! Did you forget that?"

"Shut up! Lock her back in the room!" Jacob ordered.

Jacob frowned and his face shriveled with humiliation, utterly disgusted by Jennifer's behavior. Indeed, Jacob locked Jennifer in his mansion so that she wouldn't be able to harm Emily, but Jacob didn't think that she would say such preposterous things to mislead Emily.

If Jacob knew this was going to happen, he would have locked up her in secluded place!

Disappointed at his own incompetence, Jacob turned around to explain to Emily and Beryl, "Listen to me. Don't believe a single word of what she says."

Beryl's eyes glimmered with curiosity and puzzlement. Jacob didn't know how to explain the situation to Beryl, so he looked at Emily affectionately hoping that Emily would understand him.

Unfortunately, that didn't work out well for him.

Emily's eyes were as tranquil as the surface of a lake without any waves. She looked back at Jacob indifferently.
