A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"We're innocent, Mr. Gu. We were only defending ourselves. Jonas hit us out of nowhere. We even have bruises as proof." One of Jacob's men did his best to explain what happened, but he was so nervous when he spoke that it was a little difficult to understand.

When they had received the order to tail Jonas, they had been told that he was just a doctor. However, they hadn't expected a doctor to be so aggressive that he would start a fight without even saying a single word.

Jacob checked on their injuries and determined that they were telling the truth.

At that point, everything Emily knew about Jonas was not as it seemed. Jacob narrowed his eyes and stared blankly at a corner of his office. He was trying to figure out what was truly going on.

"I need you to tell me everything that happened last night, from start to finish." Jacob had no choice but to ask his two men for details. Ever since Jonas arrived in their lives, Jacob couldn't think of a single reason as to why this random doctor had approached his wife.

The fact that Emily was upset with him again and the fact that his men were injured lit a fire inside of Jacob.

Especially since, once again, it was all Jonas' fault. Jacob's expression clearly showed the hatred he felt for that man. He clenched his fists with all his might in irritation. As a result, his hands turned completely red.

"When we got off work, we followed Jonas as planned. We were sure that we were hidden but he suddenly came straight to us and threw a punch for no reason. Jonas is an experienced fighter. If only one of us had been there, I'm sure we would have been the one in the hospital right now." Both men told their story the most accurate way they could. They didn't dare to leave out any detail since Jacob was already extremely upset at that moment.

They just hoped that Jacob would believe them and put all the blame on Jonas.

After hearing their stories, a faint smile made its way onto Sam's face. He was a little bit amused and found Jonas to be a somewhat interesting man. He was definitely not who he seemed to be. Jacob then said, "All right, I believe your words. Sam, don't punish these two. They are also victims in this matter. They were beaten up for no reason, so just let them rest for today." Still feeling amused, Sam saw the pitiful state of the two men and had quite a difficult time trying not to laugh at them.

They had seemed so tough and confident about being able to do the task without any problem. But in the end, they had been caught by the person they were tailing and had even gotten into a fight with him.
