A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1544 Protection

“Stop him!“ The bodyguards quickly strode forward as soon as they heard Jacob's order. Together, they were able to take Jonas down.

Fighting several men with only his fists proved to be difficult for Jonas, no matter how skilled he was. Jacob's men weren't just regular bodyguards; they were also trained fighters that Jacob had carefully selected to fight against Jonas.

Jonas knew that he was in trouble. He desperately turned to look at Emily with tears in his eyes. “Emily, I know it's probably useless to say this now but I'm really sorry. What I did was wrong. I'm sorry, Emily,“ he said shakily.

It wasn't exactly a plea for mercy. He didn't even ask Emily to let him go. But the look on his eyes was enough to make Emily feel compassion for him. She tilted her head and thought that perhaps he was truly regretting what he did.

She looked at Jonas thoughtfully, and then turned to look at Jacob. Her husband had an opposite aura; he was staring at Jonas with a cold and unforgiving look on his face. Eventually, she sighed heavily and uttered, “How about we let him go? I know he planned to hurt me, but he wasn't successful anyway, so let's just let him go.“

Jacob raised a brow at her. He knew that Emily was merciful. She might have thought that Jonas really felt sorry, but Jacob was not so easily convinced.

However, he chose not to say anything. He didn't want to say something harsh in front of Emily.

With a cold expression, Jacob signaled at the bodyguard to release him.

Once the bodyguard let go of him, Jonas quickly muttered out apologies and words of gratitude to Emily. Then, he limped back to Darren's place.

Darren looked at him with clear disgust and spat, “You can't even do something simple. You have no use to me. Now that your identity has been exposed, I don't see how you'll be useful in any way.“

Upon hearing Darren's crass words, Jonas' face crumpled like paper. He looked up at him solemnly and said, “I did everything according to your orders. You can't just leave me like this.“

For Jonas, the look in Jacob's eyes before the bodyguard had released him was etched in his mind. If it wasn't for Emily, he was sure that Jacob wouldn't have let him go so easily.

If Darren abandoned him now, he would have nobody to go to! The terrible thought sent shivers down Jonas' spine.

“Why can't I leave you? You simply have no more use to me.“

Darren's indifferent attitude and harsh retorts hurt Jonas. He felt betrayed. “You can't leave me. I did all of this because of you! I will not leave! If I leave your protection, then Jacob will surely send someone to hunt me down. What should I do then?“ Jonas cried out in desperation.

“It's none of my business. Whether you live or die, it won't affect me.“
