A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily's eyes opened wide in utter shock and surprise, at what was unfolding right in front of her. She could clearly hear the cracking sound of bones breaking...

Leo's entire face twisted in agony; he was screaming like a wounded pig.

A few minutes later, Jacob finally stopped stamping on Leo's hand. He wiped the blood off his shoes on the carpet next to Leo. His facial features expressed his unbridled disgust towards the vile man lying on the floor.

Emily was relieved; she was just glad that Jacob didn't kill Leo.

If Jacob had killed him, she wouldn't be able to get away from the allegations. It was easy for someone of Jacob's status to be unafraid in these circumstances, but she was just a nobody; she would definitely face a lot of problems from the authorities.

While she was trying to figure out what to do next, she heard footsteps coming from outside the room. Her heart stopped beating.

May be someone had heard noises and had come to check? What was she to do?

"Mr. Jacob... Emily turned around and looked at Jacob who just stood there, emotionlessly. She quickly yanked his hand and said, "I'm sorry!"

……

Coincidentally, the footsteps outside the door belonged to Jack and Rose who were approaching Emily's room hand in hand. Rose continued to fan his flames as she said to him, "Jack, I don't think we should blame Emily. She had broken up with you; she didn't do anything wrong by finding someone else to be with. May be she just really wants to win the competition, so she has decided to bribe the judges..."

"Shut up!" Jack rudely interrupted Rose and pushed her hand away, as he rushed to Emily's room directly.

The door was wide open. Emily was standing in the middle of the room with a blank expression on her face. At her feet, there lay a battered man, barely conscious.
