A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily had never heard such a preposterous speech in her entire life. She conclusively refuted, "If I ever help, it will be out of my own will and not because I owe you and your husband anything. Besides, kindness should not be wasted on people like you."

"Please, let go of my husband! I cannot live without him!" begged Delores.

All of a sudden, Emily's voice went cold. "I don't have the right to let go of him. He committed a crime and he needs to bear the legal responsibilities. As for you, I don't really care whether you live or die."

Emily did not want to argue with Delores anymore, so she turned to a straight face before she said to Jacob, " Let's go."

Jacob did not care Delores at all and followed Emily to leave.

Disappointment appeared in Delores's eyes in the form of tears. As much as she tried to hold it in, the pain came out like an uproar from her throat as she could not imagine how she would go on without Kerr! Delores always held a grudge against rich people and now she had grown to hate them even more. 'Why couldn't she just forget about everything that had happened?

She did not suffer any physical harm, did she?

Why are you driving us into a tight corner?' Delores could not help yelling in her mind.

Although she was aware of the fact that Kerr had broken the law, she felt like his actions were justified and easily forgivable by Emily, if she had not been so stubborn. Somehow she managed to delude herself into thinking that Emily was to blame.

In a fit of rage, Delores pulled out a fruit knife under her pillow and rushed towards Emily!

"Why are you doing this to us? I'll kill you!" yelled Delores.

But even before she could get near Emily, Jacob kicked Delores down to the ground, disarming her of the knife in the process.

"I hate you..." Delores screamed. Lying on the ground, writhing in pain, Delores spit out a mouthful of blood and glared at Emily hatefully, the resentment in her eyes still clearly visible.
