A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 27

"Huh?" Emily's eyes went blank, she asked," What's the difference?"

She owed money to the company, whose founder was Victor. Didn't that mean she owed him money? Victor also said that taking money from the company's account would set a bad example for other employees.

Of course it was different. 'Emily only needs to pay back the money owed to the company if I record the debt on company's account; any money owed to me will be considered a debt of gratitude, and such debt is much more difficult to pay back, ' thought Victor. A man's face suddenly popped into his mind. It looked like someone was being really considerate for Emily. "Who knows? Maybe he just couldn't stand another man doing his girl a favor." Victor shrugged and thought to himself.

However, he did not intend to say this to Emily Bai. Instead, he only said," The company now has a major shareholder who has invested a lot of money, and he will have the final say in the future."

Anyway, Victor's purpose of opening a company in Z Country was not meant for profit in the first place, and what he really intended to do was... He didn't really care about the company's operations and management for this reason. He thought it was totally okay to sell that mysterious shareholder a favor by helping Emily out.'

Emily Bai revealed a stunned expression. After all, Victor was the chairman of the company. Was it smart of him to go back on his word?

"I guess you will see him soon," said Victor casually. Although there was no expression on his face, there were hints of an inexplicable mystery in his tone.

Nevertheless, Emily didn't notice it. Eventually, she remembered the purpose of asking him out," Mr. Victor, thank you for helping me out with everything."

"I think you're giving me too much credit."

"I have seen the news today, thank you."

"Me?" Victor's expression finally changed as he asked," Do you think I had something to do with it?"

Emily looked at him in confusion," Wasn't it you?"

Unfortunately, although Victor had wanted to meddle in and help Emily clear her name because he appreciated her talents, someone took actions before him. Since his previous chivalry was considered as "stealing the fruit of someone else's labors", he refused to get involved in Emily's affairs and beat Jacob Gu to the draw again.

"Then, who could it be?"

"What do you think?" Instead of giving a straight-forward answer, Victor answered with another question.

The answer faintly appeared in Emily Bai's mind. She bit her lip nervously, 'No, no way...'

Was Jacob Gu the man who had been helping her all along?

"Anyway, it's not me you need to thank." Of course, Victor wouldn't steal the merits of others. He made that very clear.

Emily Bai nodded and then shook her head," I understand. But, you've also helped me a lot before, and I'll never forget that."

Likewise, she would keep in mind what Jacob Gu had done for her.

Victor looked at her face for a moment and then said," Do as you please."

Meanwhile, Jack, who was eating in another place, glared at a picture he had paid someone to take.

In the photo, Emily was handing a bag of clothes to Victor. However, the odd angle of the photo made it seem like Victor was leaning in to kiss Emily.

"Argh..." Jack tore the photo into pieces. The rage in his malevolent, black eyes brewed like a tornado.

'Emily Bai! Victor!'

......

"Today Miss Bai was seen shopping for clothes at the mall, and one of which was a man's suit..." In the President's office of the Gu's Consortium, Sam reported to Jacob Gu on the whereabouts of Emily Bai.

"Oh?" Jacob Gu leaned back on his chair, twirling a signature pen in his hand, in a relaxed posture.

'So, the little one went to buy a man's suit. Was it a gift to thank me? Doesn't she know that I won't be that easy to deal with?' Jacob slightly curled his lips into a smirk.

Sam continued," In the afternoon, Miss Bai made an appointment with Mr. Victor for dinner..."

But before Sam could finish his sentence, Jacob's face went black.
