A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 17

"Rose, what's wrong with you?" Emily had lost her patience with Rose. She looked straight at Rose and said to her," Ever since I broke up with Jack, you have been acting like a crazy bitch." What the hell are you thinking about? You are the copy cat! As for the thing about the judge, you are well aware of what the truth is!"

Seeing Emily get riled up gave Rose the amusement she was craving. She derived pleasure from the misery of Emily.

"The facts do not lie, Emily; your anger will not help change the facts." She took a deep breath and said, earnestly," I'm telling you this for your own good. If you want to succeed in life, you shouldn't always chase shortcuts. You must put in the hard work. And, about the judge... I can only say that...you can't clap with one hand..."

Emily was driven mad with rage. She snapped within a split second and slapped Rose right across her smug face. The room went completely quiet to the sound of the slap.

"How dare you!" Rose's eyes widened, as her face swelled up and reddened like a tomato. She hid her aching face behind her hand, but she couldn't hide the anger from her eyes. It was completely unimaginable!

"Finally! I've been meaning to do that for a while now!" Emily had been longing to do that for a while, but the right moment hadn't presented itself to her yet, until now, she glared at Rose and said," You cannot clap with one hand, right?

I just proved you wrong. Turns out, it is possible to clap with just one hand. Did you like the sound of that? Maybe you should think about why I slapped you instead of others?"

She took an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth; that's exactly what Rose had said before.

"You……" Rose was so angry that she forgot how to act like a nice lady. Before she had the chance to react, Emily tried to slap her again.

Rose responded promptly and dodged, but unfortunately, she wasn't fast enough to evade Emily's fingernails; two long trails of blood appeared from just a scratch on her white face!

Suddenly things just got very real.

Emily, however, paid no attention to it. She was desperately attacking Rose, as if she was determined to tear Rose's fake face off. Rose, on the other hand, was not one to accept being humiliated without putting up a fight. She reacted immediately.

The two angry women got into a chaotic tussle. All their colleagues were stunned. When Mr. Hua was disturbed by their commotion, the people finally realized what was going on and separated the two in a hurry.

The people had always thought of Rose as an elegant and classy woman. She had never been so embarrassed in her whole life. Her hair was tangled and the make-up on her face was a mess. Although she had a very beautiful face, it had already revealed it's fierce fangs to the people.

"Emily, just wait and see what happens!"

Said Rose. When she noticed more people gathering at the scene, she decided to flee in fury.

Although Emily got a minor neck injury, Rose's damage was much worse than her. Rose got a scar on her face and a lock of her long hair pulled out. Emily was greatly amused by this.

'It is true, sometimes," might is right". It is more straightforward.' thought Emily.

Emily's spirits were lifted; she packed up her things and left work. Back at her apartment, she began to search the news about herself on the Internet.

She soon found the news in a large and bold font on the computer screen —

"The International Jewelry Design Competition star Emily is suspected of plagiarizing and sexually bribing a judge. Is there a dark underside to winning the first prize?"

Face pale and strained, Emily browsed through the screen. She couldn't help scrolling through the long pages. Almost all well-known media had reported on this matter. It was so convincing that she even thought everyone was going to believe it.

As for Emily, the main character of the news, she had no idea what had happened.

When she thought about Rose's behavior this morning, Emily had a hunch that Rose must have had something to do with the slanderous news about her!

However, Rose alone couldn't have pulled off something of this scale on her own. She must have had, the young master of the Gu family, Jack's support in swaying public opinions against Emily.

Jack was just using his power to get back at Emily.
