A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 94

Jack could not believe that the forces he had been deliberately cultivating for some time would be so vulnerable when it came to Jacob. Saving Emily's father, and sending all of Jack's people to jail, was just a piece of cake for someone like Jacob!

Before this, Jack thought that he had grown strong enough to confront Jacob, since he had already gained his position in the company, which is why he dared to threaten Emily in the first place. He was no longer afraid of Jacob stepping in; in fact, he was looking forward to it.

However, little did Jack know that his naivety would get the best of him! Speaking of planning all the tricks and schemes, he was far from being experienced compared to Jacob. In any case, a fall into the pit, a gain in his wit. Jack still had a long way to go.

Jack was angrier now, for he knew that his failure would only make Emily rely more on Jacob and love him more deeply.

It was a double whammy! Jack's failure had caused his anger to consume him.

Even though this time Emily's father was safe and sound, Jack had exasperated Emily once and for all. She could forgive his transgressions towards her, but when it came to family, Emily's heart would show no mercy. This time Jack had overstepped the line!

Considering the past they had shared, Emily had thought about forgiving Jack. After all, mistakes were made on both sides and they had shared a real relationship before. However, it did not mean that she would let Jack get away with threatening and humiliating her family. Since Jack had already declared that he would not let Emily lead a peaceful life, why would she still tolerate him? Emily wanted him to be punished for what he had done!

In the LA office.

Emily and Jacob were sitting face to face, handling the company affairs together, which was something she had never done with him before. It wasn't until then when Emily finally realized that Jacob was a genius in handling businesses!

Jacob would point out the problems she did not understand, explain them to her in the easiest way and work out the most reasonable solutions in the shortest time.

Emily felt nervous, intimidated by his prowess. As the CEO of the Gu Consortium, wasn't he overqualified to be helping her with the affairs of a small company? Emily felt like she was wasting his talents.

Why was she feeling guilty about it?

"Why are you looking at me like that?" asked Jacob. He looked up, straight into Emily's eyes, with a hint of playfulness.

Emily quickly shifted her sights elsewhere out of embarrassment, and said," No, it's nothing."

Jacob noticed her apprehensiveness and realized that he had to change the topic. He casually mentioned," Gambling isn't a good vice to have. I had warned all the gambling houses in Haicheng City so as to ban your father. How do you think he still owes Jack 18 million?"

Emily shook her head, unable to think of an answer. "So what about the money my father owes to Jack..."

"Don't pay him," Jacob blurted out without even thinking. After a while, he continued," It will piss him off. He deserves it. It'll teach him not to be penny wise, pound foolish."

'How dare he coerce my woman to abort my baby and leave me? He's got guts, but it is a real shame he does not know how to put them to good use.'

Emily could not help laughing out loud. Right now, only the word 'tsundere' could best describe the man in front of her. Surprisingly, she found him childish, but also kind of cute. "You are right. Let's piss him off!"

Jacob laughed along with her, but he turned serious within a few seconds. "Listen, your father was set up by Jack intentionally so he could threaten you. Your father did not owe Jack any money in the first place," he said.

"Now I see..." Suddenly everything made sense to Emily. It seemed just like the kind of sneaky and underhanded thing Jack would do. "Jacob, I don't want to let it go. I want him to regret what he did."

Jacob glanced back at her, curious to hear what Emily had to say, and asked," So, how would you make him pay for his actions?"

"I..." Although, Emily had been thinking of it, she didn't really have any specific ideas as to how she would carry out her plans. Unable to come up with a possible proposition, she looked down and replied," I don't know..."
