A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Having run out of patience, Jacob said, "Mind your own business!"

His words didn't infuriate Emily. However, she giggled as though she were amused by his outburst.

Suddenly, Jacob noticed that her left hand was bandaged. He paused and frowned. "What happened to your hand?"

Emily drew her injured hand back at once and answered, "Nothing!"

She hastily blurted an answer to Jacob as she felt embarrassed and didn't want him to find out that she had foolishly fallen for Bonnie's trap.

Emily's answer didn't convince Jacob as much as she would have liked. He strode towards Emily and gripped her arm to force her to reach out her injured hand. He stared at the white gauze, tinted red with blood.

"Spill it! What happened?"

'How foolish is this woman? I go out for a few days on a business trip and you end up hurting yourself like this!' Jacob kept his complaints in his mind.

Emily bit her lip and shook her head slightly.

Her persistence angered Jacob even more and he yelled at her, "Fine! I will check it by myself."

Emily knew how bad her wound was, so she refused at once. "Don't! It's not a big deal. You don't have to..."

"Don't take this the wrong way. I don't really care about you." Flames of anger burned in his eyes, and he continued, "I have eyes and ears everywhere. There's nothing you can hide from me. You've just crossed the line."

Whether it was his business or his subordinates, everyone and everything was under Jacob's control. That also included Bonnie.

However, Emily was an exception.

She was out of his control. He knew nothing about her thoughts and purpose.

This feeling that he had lost control over her displeased him.
