A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 177

"That is ridiculous," Tina sneered. Being a proud woman, she would never allow others to threaten her. "If you want to do that, I'll break his arm first," she said.

Jacob sneered back,"So you want to risk your brother's life for it? You can go ahead and do it. If you break his arm, I will break Mark Tao's leg. Oh, I guess it would be very interesting if the president of the Tao Consortium became a cripple, wouldn't it?"

"Shut up!" Compared with Jacob's calmness, Tina has obviously become a little anxious. She shouted,"This low lying scum can't be mentioned in the same breath as my brother! Even his life cannot hold a candle to one of my brother's hair!"

Jacob lost his patience and said,"I told you. 30 seconds, set them free."

Tina's face showed nothing but coldness. Standing still, she felt all the hatred overwhelming her.

'If I kill Emily's parents, it will hurt so much that Emily is gonna wish she was dead.' thinking about this, Tina felt extremely excited... But Jacob had her brother.

A voice inside her heart told her that she didn't need to worry about it, because her brother was powerful enough that he could definitely protect himself, and that all he wanted was to make her happy. She could just do anything to her satisfaction!

Tina became silent for a while. And during that long silence, gazing at the hesitant Tina, Mark felt pain in his chest.

"Well, it seems that you mean nothing to you sister," Jacob provoked Tina. Without any hesitation, he snatched a gun from his subordinate, pointed it toward Mark and slowly pulled the trigger.

"Stop!" Tina screamed. Her heart skipped a beat when Jacob did that. Lucky for her, Jacob stopped.

"What? You changed your mind?"

Tina's face was gloomy, and said slowly,"Let's set them free at the same time."

Some emotion faintly flashed in Mark's eyes. He murmured,"Tina..."

He had become disappointed when Tina hesitated, and as a result, he had made preparations in his head to escape by himself. Anyway, it was not going to be easy for Jacob to shoot him. But to his surprise, Tina finally chose to protect him, instead of choosing to avenge.

This was unexpected but it still made sense.

Jacob sneered,"Okay."

The two sides exchanged hostages and solved this crisis, without anyone being hurt or any bullet leaving the barrel of a gun.

Feeling relieved, Emily took Debby's arm, who was still shivering, and left with Jacob, with her father following them behind.

After they left, Tina stared at Mark, who was bathed in blood, and asked angrily,"Mark, look at you!"

She had thought that her brother could accomplish anything, and that he could solve anything that she could not solve and realize all of her wishes. But what happened today made her see the truth that, Mark was human. He could be injured, and he could also be defeated.

Mark staggered toward her and reached his hand, intending to touch Tina's pink cheeks, but when he saw that his hand was covered with blood and dirt, he pulled it back. With all his remaining strength, he said,"Tina, you saved me. I'm really happy."

"But I'm not happy at all! I didn't accomplish anything and finally still had to set them free!" Tina was so angry that she pushed Mark with great force and turned around, not willing to even cast a glance at him, and said,"I asked you to stop Jacob from getting here, but you not only failed, but also hurt yourself. You're so useless!"
