A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 110

When Emily saw Jack again, she felt bile rise up in her throat. She wasn't going to be a silly girl who let other people hurt her anymore.

She was about to step out of the elevator, but Jack pulled her inside.

"Why are you avoiding me?" he asked, pressing her against the wall of the elevator. "Are you that afraid of me?" he mocked.

Emily struggled against his grip and watched helplessly as the doors of the elevator closed. "Yes! You disgust me!" she spat.

Jack was taken aback by her words. "Wow! You've become bolder after being with Jacob," he sneered.

Emily's expression soured, but she didn't respond.

The fact that she was neither admitting it nor denying it made Jack angry. "Do you think Jacob really loves you? You're nothing but a plaything to him.

You're just a slut!"

Although Emily was burning with anger, she fixed a smile onto her face and drawled," You think so? Maybe I am, but I'm seeking a new happy life. Jacob is very good to me, much better than you..."

"Emily!" Jack cut her off before she could continue. With fury blazing in his eyes, he reached out and wrapped his fingers around her slender neck. "I know you slept with Jacob! What a shameless woman."

Emily's little face went red, but it didn't deter her from letting out a mocking laugh and saying," Hear, hear! You seem to be jealous. Does that mean you still love me? That's crazy... It's crazy..."

Jack immediately released her.

Emily slid down the elevator wall and onto the ground, coughing violently. She rubbed her neck as it seemed she could still feel Jack's fingers around it.

Jack stared at his empty hands with a bitter look on his face.

Love? How could he love this woman now!

He hadn't known that she was so easy. He had thought that Emily truly loved him, but she'd run into Jacob's arms as soon as he had left her.

How could he love a woman like that?

"Love...you?" Jack laughed as if it was the funniest thing he had heard. Then, his eyes turned cold and he added," I wonder... If I have sex with you now, will Jacob still like being with you?"

He grabbed Emily by the collar and lifted her up.

"You rascal!" Emily shouted. Her face was red with anger.

Jack stared at her face intently, running his eyes over her slightly parted red lips as she gasped for breath. It was like she was asking for it.

Was this how she seduced Jacob?

"You cheap whore!" Jack sneered, closing the gap between them.

Emily was so angry that she raised a hand to Jack's face, but he quickly held her wrists and pinned them above her head. He locked her legs with his so that she couldn't move.

"Jack, didn't you once say that you would never touch a woman like me? Were you lying then?" Emily taunted.

"I've changed my mind now."

"Stay away from me! There's a camera in here!" Emily warned, glaring at him. His touch filled her with disgust.

"Are you afraid of being seen with me? Is that it?" Jack asked, as if he had suddenly found something very interesting. He laughed and added," Emily, doesn't it seem like we are having a clandestine relationship? Is this exciting for you? Huh?"

His eyes grew bigger and bigger as he spoke.

She turned her face away quickly, but Jack grabbed her chin and forced her to face him again.

Suddenly, there was a ding as the elevator stopped and the door opened slowly.

Jack paused and turned his face around. Emily stood there with her hands still pinned above her head and followed Jack's line of sight. Her heart fell when she saw the man standing outside the elevator.

Jacob.

He stood there rooted to the ground, his face clouding over with anger.

Emily's heart almost stopped.

Her throat suddenly felt so dry that she couldn't utter a word. She looked at Jacob blankly, feeling guilty inside.

Then, realizing that Jack was distracted now, she quickly gave him a hard shove.

"Come here." Jacob's deep voice boomed like it had come straight from hell.

Behind Jacob stood high-level officials who were all awkwardly shuffling from one foot to another, pretending not to have seen anything.

Jacob's voice scared Emily, but she knew that she would rather be standing next to him than Jack, so she walked to him quickly.

Jack's face fell when he saw Emily choose Jacob over him without any hesitation.

Meanwhile, Jacob's face relaxed a little, but he continued glaring at Jack. Emily knew how angry Jacob was, but standing by his side gave her courage.

Jack hid his true feelings and walked out of the elevator. With a smirk on his face, he said," Emily's a fun girl. Have you had enough of her? If you get tired of her, give her back to me. After all, I gave her to you before I'd had my share of fun."

Jacob's eyes were as cold as ice as he said," You'd better not touch her."

"What if I do?"

"You can try," Jacob growled.

If looks could kill, Jack would be dead.

Jack lost his composure when he saw the threat in Jacob's eyes. Although Jacob hadn't physically done anything to him, Jack felt like he had been grabbed in the throat.

Emily watched the two men fight with embarrassment. They were talking about her as if she was an object.

Meanwhile, the high-level officials looked around awkwardly, pretending not to hear anything, although they had confirmed that the rumor that the relationship between Jacob and Jack was sour because of a woman was true.

But no one cared about the gossip. They just wanted to get away from the tension in the room.

Defeated, Jack's face contorted into a sneer before he walked away.

But Jacob stood there without moving. The high-level officials had no choice but to wait behind him. Secretly, they were relieved, because they'd thought that the two men would definitely have a brawl right there and then.

As if nothing happened, they all took the elevator downstairs, and Jacob dragged Emily into his office.

"Jacob..." Emily mumbled. Jacob looked like he was about to hit her, which made her afraid. "Ah! What are you doing!"
