A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 22

Jack could hardly control his malevolence towards Emily, as if the fury suppressed in his heart would decrease each time he insulted Emily.

Emily bit her lip for a second before asking," Is that what you call 'fun', Mr. Gu?"

"Certainly it is!"

It was obvious that Jack was not completely over Emily. He used to love and cherish her very much, but she betrayed him!

The thought of Emily's betrayal brought back many resentful memories, so instead of reflecting on himself, the only thing he wanted to do was to destroy Emily!

"I have no time to play such childish games with you, Jack."

"Childish? It's you who is in need of money, not me," Jack said with an evil smile on his handsome face, then he continued," Victor was at least the President of LA Jewelry, didn't he give you any money, Emily?"

Emily raised her head," Why would he give me money?"

"I am no stranger to your hookup with Victor! You are a fast learner, Emily!"

Emily figured that Jack had lost his mind, she said," I don't care if you defame me, but don't involve Victor; our affairs have nothing to do with him."

Suddenly, the whole room fell silent. Clearly, they had some unfinished business between them, so everyone decided to keep quiet and listen to them.

"Nothing to do?" Hearing Emily defend another man made Jack grind his teeth in anger, he asked," I want to know, do you regret what you have done? You're nothing without me!"

"Huh!" Emily sneered at him and continued," I have never coveted anything from you when we were together, what could I possibly care about after our breakup?"

"Do you think you are special? You are nothing but the eldest son of Gu family! You've never worked for your money; every penny you spend comes from your family, so what's so great about you? You merely adorn yourself with borrowed plumes!"

Emily's words hit straight in the heart of Jack, whose face turned taut with anger almost instantaneously. Jack had no patience for such insolence, the next moment he burst out screaming," Emily, dare you repeat what you've said?" He wanted to strangle her, then and there.

Emily glared at him intently before delivering a tight slap right across his face. Unfortunately, Jack was too angry to react in time, so his face took the full force of the slap. "Bang!"

Emily had wanted to slap Jack hard ever since they broke up, and she wanted to keep on hitting him; she detested him for all the things he had done to her: his betrayal, his frame-up with Rose, and now his pleasure in her misery! All that pent-up hatred could not be released with just one slap!

Finding the right opportunity, Emily kicked Jack's shin really hard before running away.

Jack seethed with anger at Emily's arrogance and audacity.

Jack roared," Stop right there, Emily!"

The next moment, Emily stopped running. Not because Jack had asked her to, but because, she accidentally ran into a man at the doorway!

"Excuse me, sir," hurried Emily, without even lifting her head to see who it was.

Meanwhile, Jack raged on violently behind her," Stop her!"

When the man at the doorway turned himself slightly, Emily took the chance and squeezed through the gap immediately. However, just as she was about to zip past this person, she clearly felt him pinch her on the waist.

All of a sudden, Emily's whole body stiffened before she staggered for several steps, followed by a familiar, deep chuckle from the man.

Emily thought she recognized the person, if she was right...

Fearing the very thought of it, she didn't dare to turn her head to find out, instead she ran away directly.

The interaction between them lasted only a few seconds, before Jack had already strode to the doorway. Watching Emily disappear into the distance, Jack's face turned black all of a sudden, he shouted," Why did you not stop her... You...Uncle Jacob?"
