As the receptionist kept gawking at her in shock, Michelle hung up the call and walked upstairs.
Soon, the rhythmic tapping of high heels entered Jacob's ears. Without raising his head to see who it was, Jacob could tell that a woman was approaching him. He frowned, and his eyes that revealed an agitated expression narrowed to slits.
"If you have something to say, just say it and leave. Don't waste my time!" Jacob's words were harsh, but he expressed them in a tone of exceptional grace. Despite his polite demeanor, Michelle could still feel the malice behind his words, which caught her by surprise.
Although she was not so happy with his attitude, she decided to let it go. Besides, Jacob's attitude towards Emily was far worse in comparison.
"I will get straight to the point then. I have something that you might be really interested in. In exchange, I want you to promise me something."
As usual, Michelle's voice was calm and calculative. However, underneath the facade of indifference, she was extremely dissatisfied with his attitude.
Michelle was starting to feel like she was in this fight not only with Emily, but also Jacob. In any case, she wasn't going to give up the fight.
"And what would that be?"
Jacob's voice carried a similar, but colder timbre, accurately reflecting his inner emotion at the moment. It found its way into Michelle's ears and drove a shiver down her spine.
"Do you remember Seamus? If not, that's okay. I'll give you a crash course. Darren tried to kill you and Emily by setting fire to the house you were in. Although you two survived, the ferocious fire spread through a row of houses where a lot of innocent people died. Seamus was one of the residents there. He was also the heir of the Lu Family in D Country. You know the Lu Family, don't you?"
Michelle's beautiful eyes shot a sharp glare at Jacob. Knowing how people like Jacob loved being in control, Michelle figured he would have already done his thorough investigation on everyone associated to Emily.
If anyone knew about Seamus and what had happened to him, it would be Jacob.
The moment Jacob heard the words "Seamus" and "The Lu Family," his hand froze.
That name and that family was a nightmare to not only Emily but also Jacob. Fearing that Michelle would take his sudden change of expression as a sign of weakness, Jacob tried to act as calm as possible.
"So what? I
for saving my life. I no longer owe you anything in the future!"
Michelle froze as she drew in a sharp gasp of amazement.
If that was the case, she would no longer have a reason to stay around Jacob.
Suddenly, the mere thought of it brought tears to her eyes. As Michelle helplessly watched Jacob walk away, the realization that this was probably going to be the last time she would see him filled her up with sorrow.
The sadness suffocated her heart.
Meanwhile, Emily decided to go straight to MK Manor after she left Tyrone Mansion. Beryl was in school now and Louis was at work. The only people currently present in this enormous mansion was Hunk, who was constantly worrying about Emily, and Bowen, who had been missing his mother dearly.
The moment Emily walked in, their eyes lit up like fireworks. Sensing their excitement, Emily felt like crying because of how they looked at her. Although Jacob was not going to be in her life anymore, she still had many people who loved her.
Hunk noticed the tears in her eyes, but he didn't ask her anything. He figured that something must have happened between her and Jacob. Emily spent the next two days in the house, just gardening and relaxing. On the third day, she dressed up and left the house after receiving a strange phone call.
Emily's destination was SL Jewelry.
Joyce and the other employees stared at the arrogant woman standing across them in rage. The atmosphere around them was thick and tense. When Emily walked in, their eyes finally shifted towards her. They walked to Emily and tried to explain the situation to her.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
