"Who do you think it is?" Jonas asked. Finding out that Emily had an idea about who was behind all this gave him hope.

Until now, he had thought that he had been targeted by kidnappers. However, Emily's words piqued his interest.

He also wanted to know whom he had pissed off so much that they would want to have him killed.

"I suspect that it's Jacob who's behind this. Now, there's nothing I can do except to apologize on his behalf. I know you're hurt, but I hope you don't take this matter too seriously." Emily stood up and moved as if she was about to take a deep bow.

Jonas wanted to stop her, but he couldn't move because of his injuries. He could only watch her as she began this gesture of remorse.

She was about to bend forward when she felt a pair of thick hands stopping her and pulling her back up.

Before she could turn around to see who the person was, she heard Jacob's familiar voice.

"Wow! What an amazing actor you are, Dr. Lin. And I admire not only your acting but your endurance as well. You're really something." A knowing smile formed on Jacob's face.

"What are you talking about, Mr. Gu? I don't understand," Jonas replied. Although he lay on the bed unable to move, he did not give in to the other man's provocation.

Jacob sneered as he watched Jonas. 'This man is doing a great job of disguising his true feelings. It's amazing how calm he still is!' he thought.

"What a fraud! To gain Emily's sympathy, you even used your own body as bait. Just brilliant!" Jacob continued.

"Mr. Gu, I really don't know what you're talking about. I think this must be some sort of misunderstanding," Jonas said with an innocent expression on his face.
