A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

A moment of opportunity was right in front of Jonas and his eyes flashed with determination. He slightly pursed his lips and then raised his head to meet Emily's gaze. Then, he pleaded with her. "I won't take up too much of your time since you seem quite busy. But please, just take this gift that I prepared for you. I'll leave as soon as you take it."

Half an hour later, someone lightly knocked on Emily's door.

It was Taylor paying her a visit. When she was met with no response, she slowly opened the door. To her surprise, she saw a man with his back turned, sitting on the sofa. The man could be heard gently whispering some words while holding a pocket watch in front of Emily.

It was Jonas. As soon as he realized that the door was opened, he stopped everything that he was doing. Taylor's confused gaze unexpectedly met Jonas's frightening one. Without hesitation, Taylor shouted, "What are you doing here? Get out!"

Taylor knew something wasn't right. She rushed over to Emily's side and saw her lying still on the sofa with her eyes closed. When Taylor looked around, she saw some lit incense on the tea table and the pocket watch in the man's hand. At that moment, she knew exactly what he was doing to her.

He was hypnotizing Emily!

"Stop!" Taylor fiercely exclaimed while covering her nose to prevent herself from inhaling the fumes from the incense. Jonas seemed unfazed, so she kicked his wrist to prevent any further damage to Emily. The moment the watch fell on the ground, she opened her mouth and yelled, "Help! Help! There's a pervert over here!"

Jonas knew he needed to get away that instant. He endured the pain in his wrist and rushed over to pick up his watch. Taylor couldn't let this man have another chance at messing with Emily, so she kicked the watch, and it slid under the sofa.

She reached out to grab Jonas's bandaged arm in hope of restraining him, but the man was able to dodge her grasp. The look on Jonas's face at that moment was terrifying. He was completely disgruntled and even shouted back at Taylor. "Go to hell!"

A person who had heard Taylor's plea for help rushed over and said, "Is he here?

Were you the one who called for help? The sound came from this area."

Taylor took Emily behind the sofa to protect her. When she saw the man at the door, she shouted again with all her might. "Help! Help! This man tried to grope me!"

All of a sudden, the sound of footsteps from a large crowd was approaching the door. Upon realizing that it was impossible to do what he had intended, Jonas ran towards the window to escape. But before he jumped out, he threatened them. "This isn't over! Both of you will pay for this! Just wait and see!"

As soon as the man's figure disappeared from sight, Taylor heard a loud thump outside, like the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

In Taylor's mind, Jonas's threat was the least of her worries. The only thing she was concerned about at that moment was Emily's condition.
