A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 133

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Jacob. I was just drunk or else I should not have offended your girl. I swear! Please, forgive me!"

Before Juan could finish these words, Jacob's hands clenched around his jacket and pushed him against the wall. "Then I will sober you up!" Jacob growled, his eyes filled with pure rage.

Then Jacob kicked Juan so hard in the belly that this one had to bend down. Juan cried and screamed as he was kicked a second time, and then a third time, at the fourth kick he was almost about to throw up all he had drunk so far. In the end, after being beaten up pretty well, he stopped crying. He seemed to be exhaling his last gasps before falling unconscious to the ground.

Emily was standing beside them, frozen and shocked by the scene in front of her eyes. She shuddered as Jacob turned to look at her, just after he threw Juan to the ground like he was not a human but rather a bag of dirty trash,"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," Jacob frowned,"Come here."

"... Okay."

Emily walked obediently toward Jacob; as she was approaching she cast a glance to Juan who was still lying on the ground with his face covered in blood. So Jacob assured her,"Do not worry. He won't die."

"Uh," Emily sighed as a sign of relief, and could not help but thump Juan a bit with her foot before running to Jacob.

Emily was so innocent and so cute in doing so that Jacob let out a hearty laugh. Just after, that dark cloud that was into his eyes, slowly faded away,"I don't care. If you want, you can kick him harder."

Emily turned her head back, and without further hesitations, she started kicking the man still lying unconscious.

"Good girl. Now come here." Jacob gently grabbed her hand and slowly dragged it below his nose; after he was sure that the girl was not hurt, he folded his arms around her waist and softly whispered into her ear,"I would put you in my pocket to keep you away from all the harms in this world."

Emily raised her head and unconsciously twisted her lips. Her face looked puzzled, as she was trying to figure out whether Jacob was speaking the truth or not.

"I'm just kidding," added Jacob awkwardly.

Relieved by hearing this, she didn't give much importance to what he said, and turned back to all the chaos around,"What should we do with this mess? Maybe we should clean it up."

But they had not that much time to waste. Moreover, she looked pretty much worried about the situation and seemed very uncomfortable.

"Someone else would clean up later," said Jacob curtly.

He was right. Just after they left, several men, probably hiding around, rushed to the hallway and took Juan to a hospital nearby.

In the end, the plan to cooperate with the Lin group came to nothing. The news came out as Juan's father disinherited him since Juan was beaten up too badly and cast shame on their family's name. The news spread quickly, and by the end of the year, everyone knew that Juan brought it to himself y offending Jacob.

Anyway, this was another story. Emily did not know anything about it.

In the next days, Emily had been busy every day preparing for the charity auction hosted by LA Company. Though she was employed by Gu Consortium now, she still didn't let go of her businesses with LA, especially since this auction was aimed at building a name in the jewelry design circle.

She got hundreds of requests for invitation letters to the auction from all corners of Jingshi City, and this was in great part due to the fact that people knew that Jacob would go to the auction since Emily would attend it and she was considered his favorite girl.

Without any doubt, invitations were sent to Tao family too, since it was one of the noble and most powerful families in the city.

In the meantime, Mark was busying himself in trying to get his sister Tina better off. Actually he was pretty scared she was going to lose her mind once she knew about the auction. When he got the invitation, he went up quickly to Tina's room and knocked to the door,"Tina, do you know how many days you have been locking yourself in the room? Do you want to starve yourself to death?"

Then something hit the door and then broke on the ground. Then Tina's piercing cry came into Mark's ears. "Liar! You are just a liar! You said you would have helped me!"
