A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 1474

"Who do you think it is?" Jonas asked. Finding out that Emily had an idea about who was behind all this gave him hope.

Until now, he had thought that he had been targeted by kidnappers. However, Emily's words piqued his interest.

He also wanted to know whom he had pissed off so much that they would want to have him killed.

"I suspect that it's Jacob who's behind this. Now, there's nothing I can do except to apologize on his behalf. I know you're hurt, but I hope you don't take this matter too seriously." Emily stood up and moved as if she was about to take a deep bow.

Jonas wanted to stop her, but he couldn't move because of his injuries. He could only watch her as she began this gesture of remorse.

She was about to bend forward when she felt a pair of thick hands stopping her and pulling her back up.

Before she could turn around to see who the person was, she heard Jacob's familiar voice.

"Wow! What an amazing actor you are, Dr. Lin. And I admire not only your acting but your endurance as well. You're really something." A knowing smile formed on Jacob's face.

"What are you talking about, Mr. Gu? I don't understand," Jonas replied. Although he lay on the bed unable to move, he did not give in to the other man's provocation.

Jacob sneered as he watched Jonas. 'This man is doing a great job of disguising his true feelings. It's amazing how calm he still is!' he thought.

"What a fraud! To gain Emily's sympathy, you even used your own body as bait. Just brilliant!" Jacob continued.

"Mr. Gu, I really don't know what you're talking about. I think this must be some sort of misunderstanding," Jonas said with an innocent expression on his face.

'Huh. Now, look who's playing dumb? Is this all that Jonas has?

He doesn't even have the balls to admit what he has done. What kind of a person is he?' Jacob thought to himself. He was growing anxious about Jonas's performance. No matter what he said, Jonas would not fess up to anything. Naturally, this upset Jacob all the more.

He had a lot more to say, but Emily stopped him.

"Jacob, don't you feel ashamed at all? What are you doing here? You've been trying to stir trouble for Jonas from the beginning. Is that all you have to say?" Emily snapped. She could no longer stand it, and she had to speak for Jonas.

Recently, she had really grown disappointed with her husband.

She had never imagined that Jacob would turn out to be the kind of man who ordered his men to beat someone up to the point where they had to be sent to the hospital.

And it hadn't ended there. Not only had he not shown remorse for having done this, but here he was now, taunting Jonas after the fact. What was wrong with him?

Was this man still the Jacob that she used to know?

She had thought that he had only done such a thing because he was jealous, but now, it was beginning to look like he was outright insane.

"Emily, do you really think I'm such a bad person that you'd prefer to trust a stranger over your husband?" Jacob's eyes were filled with sadness and pain.

In this situation, anyone would choose to be on his side. However, it seemed that, for some reason, Emily could not.

'I did all this to keep her safe. I don't know where this man came from. Who knows what his real motive it? Is he hoping for something to happen between the two of them?

But it's all in vain. Emily doesn't see and appreciate what I'm doing for her. She even chose to side with him, a stranger, ' he thought. For Jacob, it felt as though he was being stabbed a thousand times in the chest.
