A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 160

Rose looked up at Emily with beseeching eyes, and said,"Emily, I know you are a kind person. Please help me and my child... Emily, I know, you wouldn't let Jack kill this child, right? You will certainly help me, won't you?"

Emily refused,"No, I won't."

"Why?" Rose cried out in shock,"I don't believe that. I believe that you will help me."

"Shut up, Rose. I don't believe you at all, even if what you're saying is true..." Emily replied. She stared at Rose with cold eyes, as she said,"I am not as kind-hearted as you like for me to be, and I will never selflessly help my enemies. So why would you even think that I'd help you after you hurt me so many times?

Rose didn't expect Emily to refuse her so decisively. In her impression, Emily was just a silly, softhearted woman. In the past, as long as she pretended to be remorseful of what she had done, Emily, who was known as a good-tempered and lenient woman, never refused her requests... Unfortunately, nothing was working this time.

"You…you've never refused me before…" said Rose, caught by surprise.

"As you've said, all that's in the past. Do you know who made me so cold-blooded? It was you and Jack," said Emily, as she wore a sardonic look on her face, and continued,"I am happy to see you grovelling at my feet, and I've listened to your story, but I am afraid that l have to go now."

"Emily! Don't go! Wait…" Rose watched helplessly as Emily disappeared into the distance. When she started to get stomach cramps, she stopped screaming, fearing that she would harm her unborn child if she continued running after Emily. Desperate and powerless, Rose remained where she was, gnashing her teeth in anger.

'Emily is a heartless bitch! She looked at me kneeling, but still refused to help me. She even mocked me!

Damn it! I'll be sure to pay her back for this in the future!' Rose thought indignantly.

Before long, Emily returned to the LA Company. She was in such a hurry that she forgot to buy coffee. Fortunately, she was not in the mood for drinking coffee.

Although Emily looked calm, her mind was in a total mess. She forced herself to forget what had just happened, but she could not help wondering what if Rose really was speaking the truth.

Rose was a quintessentially evil person. Despite her arrogance and conceited nature, the fact that she knelt in font of someone, showed that she must have been in a really hopeless situation...

'What if she were speaking the truth, that Jack really wanted to get her an abortion... But Rose said that Jack was doing all of that for me? That's preposterous!'

Emily was fretting all afternoon. She struggled to calm down, but it didn't work.

It was not until Jacob came to pick her up for dinner that she felt a little more cheerful.

"What's the matter?" asked Jacob, eagerly, having noticed something was draining the light from her eyes.

Emily shook her head and answered,"It's nothing. Let's go get dinner. I am famished."

Jacob understood that she wasn't telling the truth, but he decided not to pester her. "Okay," he replied calmly.

Jacob took Emily to Beacher Restaurant for dinner. Lost in her own thoughts, Emily unknowingly started chewing her napkin. Soon, she realized what she was doing, so she immediately spit out the napkin, feeling embarrassed by her absent-mindedness.

"Would you like some more food? Or are the napkins good enough?" asked Jacob in a teasing tone. He deliberately lowered his voice, and spoke in a charming manner.

Emily blushed with shame, and then she whispered,"No. I was just thinking about something..."

At this point, she paused and looked up at Jacob. However, his calm and collected demeanor confused her, as she couldn't read the emotions on his face.

"Something happened earlier today…" she said. Emily knew that Jacob was so smart that he would soon find out what had happened to her earlier through other means. Since, he was going to find out about it anyway, she decided to come forward on her own. Emily continued,"Rose came to me today..."
