She looked like a refugee who hadn't eaten in a few days.
"Jacob?"
After doing the laundry, Emily called out Jacob's name while wiping her hands with a towel, but no one responded to her cry.
She felt a sudden panic and the towel dropped from her weakened grasp. She squatted on the floor, at a loss for what to do now. Emily raised her hands to wrap them around her knees. Her body trembled slightly in the silence.
He had disappeared again... That was how it felt to her.
Suddenly the doorbell rang, and she looked up in surprise.
"What are you doing?" Jacob asked in puzzlement, as he quietly entered the kitchen.
"Oh!"
Emily reacted with a sudden cry and covered her ears tightly. After a long time, she calmed down a little and looked up at Jacob.
"You..."
"I heard you calling me just now. What's the matter?"
Jacob was confused and didn't know what was wrong with her. He looked at her doubtfully.
He wanted to bend down and help her up, but Emily suddenly jumped up, pushed his body away and ran up the stairs quickly, where she slammed the bedroom door.
It was as if there was some kind of unseen monster chasing after her.
'Is she really so disgusted by my touch?' he thought, rubbing his hands together.
Jacob had completely misunderstood Emily's reaction. He just thought that Emily was disgusted with him.
Even though they had lived in the same villa for years, they seemed to be misunderstanding each other a lot lately.
The sun was setting, and the sky had become desperately dark. There was no moonlight or starlight, as if the heavenly bodies had been covered by dark clouds.
Jacob stood alone in front of the window, looking at the street outside from his vantage point on the top floor. He was thinking about Emily's unusual behavior over the past few days.
His perceptions became more acute in the dark.
Bang!
The door to Emily's room was abruptly slammed open.
Jacob eagerly turned around. He thought that Emily might have decided to come to him, since the hour was so late. He was about to walk towards her, but he was shocked witless by what happened next.
Eyes widening, Jacob stared at her in disbelief.
Emily was holdi
"Yes, sir," Sam responded dutifully.
Hanging up the phone, Jacob looked at the investigative report on Darren's drugging of Emily from that night. It was lying open on the table before Jacob. A merciless and cruel expression appeared on his face. "Darren, you can't blame me for what is going to happen to you next."
Since Darren dared to hurt Emily, Jacob would see Darren destroyed without mercy.
Almost at the same time, Darren was talking to the bodyguard he had bought off.
"What?"
Darren suddenly turned around, clenching the lighter in his hand tightly, and said in surprise, "Emily is hiding inside Jacob's villa?"
"Yes, Emily went alone to Tyrone Mansion this morning. It was Jacob who opened the door himself. And she hasn't come out since."
"Never came out?"
Darren's dark and deep eyes were pulsing with a soft light. Squinting slightly, he smiled with amusement and suddenly said, "It's getting more and more fun..."
It seemed that Jacob still didn't realize how badly he had been exposed!
Darren, like an eagle playing with its prey, was preparing to strike with his claws.
"Sir, what should we..."
said the bodyguard tentatively, trying to speculate about Darren's plan. But Darren glared at him and said coldly, "What are you trying to get at?"
"No, no, no." The bodyguard felt the seeping cold and trembled slightly. He hurriedly bowed his head and hastily apologized. "I'm sorry, sir! I have overstepped my bounds."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
