A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 74

"I cut down his hand and fed it to the dogs."

Jacob said it slowly, emphasizing each word, with a strong and menacing tone.

The little nurse sat on the ground as her knees weakened. "No, Mr. Jacob, no..."

"The person who touched you was not me. It was the lady who brought you to the hospital. Her... her name is Emily. It wasn't me. I didn't lay a finger on you..."

In the end, the nurse was meek and inexperienced. She was too afraid to get involved in Jacob's matters, so she confessed to everything straight away.

Jacob's deep and dark eyes squinted, as he said coldly,"Get out."

The nurse scurried out of the room within seconds. She bolted as if she were being chased by a wild animal, forgetting to even close the door behind her.

Sam walked over and closed the door, turning to look at the eyes of Jacob who was staring at him like an eagle eyeing its prey. He yielded, as he rubbed his nose with embarrassment,"Mr..."

"Tell me the truth."

Jacob's face was expressionless, but his tone was suddenly more assertive and serious.

Sam did not dare to lie to his boss again, as he quickly explained everything from start to finish, including the part where Emily did not know that the person who had saved her was Jacob.

After Sam's confession, Jacob did not respond with words, but the expression on his face said more than words could express.

So the truth was finally out! No wonder Emily was so cold to him. In the end, it was all a part of Jack's devious plot!

Did Jack take him for a dead person?

Sam was obediently awaiting his punishment. However, a few seconds later, to his surprise, he heard something else.

"Good job."

Sam,"..."

Did his boss just praise him?

……

Just like Jacob, Jack did not live in the mansion of their family. They lived in a famous and rich community in Jingshi City.

Emily called a taxi and went to the place where Jack lived now - Theodore Villa.

Upon arriving at the door of Jack's villa, Emily heard a woman's laughter behind her as she was just about to ring the doorbell.

Emily turned around only to be met with disappointment. Undoubtedly, it was Rose.

"What are you doing here? Are you here to keep on Jack?" Emily, as always, found no respite from this woman.

Rose's condescending smile widened as she asked,"What do you mean 'to keep on at Jack'? Jack and I are perfect for each other."

Emily looked at her coldly and replied,"Do you think I believe anything that comes out of your vile mouth?"

"You don't believe me? That doesn't matter."

Rose placed her hand on her belly and gently rubbed it. She smiled brightly and took out a test list from her bag. "I am pregnant for two weeks now, and Jack is the father."

"We have more sex than you can imagine while you two are just holding hands..."

Rose was pregnant with Jack's child?

This new discovery blew Emily's mind. With skeptical eyes, she stared at the test list, and suddenly, a loud sound of a slap broke the silence between them.

Rose didn't know how to react to Emily's slap, as it left a red mark on her face. Shocked, Rose trembled with anger,"Emily, you bitch! How dare you raise your hand at me?"

"Shameless whore!"

Emily's eyes were watery, and her heart was tensing up, suffocating her from the inside.

"You……"

Rose couldn't just take it like that! When she wanted to fight back, she suddenly saw something that changed her tone in an instant,"Emily, it was my fault..."

Surprised, Emily did not know what was happening, as she watched Rose back away carefully, and fall to the ground.

"Ouch……

Emily, why did you push me? I'm carrying Jack's child. You could have hurt our unborn child...the baby is innocent and has nothing to do with this..."

"What are you talking about? I didn't push you..."

While Emily was standing there in utter confusion, someone pulled her from behind aggressively. As soon as she tried to look back to see who it was, she felt a firm palm slam against her face.

"Clap!"

The slap was as loud as thunder and it stung her face a lot more than she could have imagined.

"Rose, are you really pregnant?"

Jack didn't even look at Emily, as he straightened up to help Rose. He said carefully,"What happened? Is everything all right?"

Rose shook her head, as the panic in her eyes had completely dispersed. "Thank you, Jack. Emily, she did not do it on purpose..."

"You don't have to explain for her. I will handle it."

"Jack..."

Rose's concern for Jack gave his heart strength and comfort.

Emily staggered backwards, clutching her face, eyes watering. "Jack, is this the promise you made to me?"

When they got back together, he promised that Emily would be the only woman in his life. He promised to change his old habits and renounced his philandering ways in front of her. Jack had promised her his unwavering loyalty.

However, the truth was far from reality.

After he made false promises to Emily, he turned to his old lover, and even let her have his child...

Thinking of every moment Jack and Rose had been together behind her back, made Emily nauseous.

Jack turned to Emily with a menacing expression and stressed every word,"Emily, are you pregnant as well?"

Standing next to Jack, Rose's jaw dropped on the floor. If Emily was pregnant with Jack's baby, she would never be able to secure a place in Jack's heart.

Taking a closer look, Rose noticed that Jack looked so queer. She thought for a moment and quickly knew the reason. She felt at ease.

"You don't have to worry about that. Even I am pregnant, you will never be the father of my child!"

Emily retorted immediately.

Sure enough, Jack's patience had run its course. "Emily, I have been tolerating your crap for a long time!"

"So, do you believe you're right?"

"Haha, right?"

Jack's lips evoked an icy cold smile. He looked at Emily in a condescending manner and said,"Do you really think that I'd want to be with you again?"

When Emily heard the words from Jack's mouth, her blood started to boil in anger, as her body stiffened, hard as concrete.

Jack continued,"Did you really think that I would be with a woman who had been passed around by other men?"

I was just disappointed to find out that you were cheating on me, so I deliberately begged you to take me back, so I can exact my revenge upon you."

"After you took me back, I dumped you again. That was quite fun, wasn't it? I am very happy to see you rot away in misery."

"Everything I told you was a lie, and only someone as gullible as you would believe me so easily. Ha ha ha, you're so ridiculous."

"So it is."

Emily slowly put down her hand. With a swollen face, she said slowly,"Congratulations, you have succeeded."

Emily felt like a joke!

"I am disappointed at myself, because I was stupid enough to be deceived by you time and time again."

The harrowing experience had left her self-esteem completely decimated. Her heartache was like an insatiable fire burning her from within, leaving her empty and hollow. It was as if Jack had stabbed her in the heart and then twisted the knife to prolong her torment.

Emily had never experienced pain of this magnitude before.

It turned out that nothing was as she had imagined it to be.

Jack looked at how desperate Emily was, and he felt an unexpected pain in his heart. There was a small trace of regret hiding in the corner of his eyes.
