A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 19

"Nothing, where are you going now?" Victor pushed his gold-colored glasses to his nose; the transparent lenses covered his unclear emotions.

He assumed that Emily was Jacob's woman, otherwise why would he ask him to take care of her during the competition... Now it seemed that the situation was not what he had thought it to be.

'Hey, there's actually a woman that Jacob can not get? Interesting!'

"I…" Emily realized that she looked really awful. She had lost her face in front of her idol. She said embarrassingly," ... I am going to go home."

Initially, she had made plans to go out, but she needed to go home and fix herself first.

I'll walk you home."

Emily was flattered; she stammered," Thank you, actually you don't need to..."

Victor wasn't a fan of small-talk, so he persuaded," Just walk with me."

Emily did not refuse Victor a second time, even though she was embarrassed to be with him in her current state.

The two did not say a word to each other on the way to Emily's home, but surprisingly, they didn't look awkward at all.

When they reached the door, Emily finally took the lead and said," Here is my home, thank you very much Mr. Victor... Would you like to come in and sit down for some coffee?"

She was a bit hesitant about the last sentence.

Although she had idolised Victor from a young age, the relationship between them had not fully developed yet. It seemed a bit awkward and embarrassing to be in the same room alone. However, he had helped her before, so she wanted to express her gratitude by inviting him into her house to have some coffee as her guest...

Fortunately, Victor did not intend to go in for a visit," No, thanks."

"All right." Emily was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say. It took a while before she gathered her courage and asked him," Mr. Victor, you… Do you believe what they said?

Facing her cautious and nervous eyes, Victor paused for a moment and replied to her directly," I believe in you."

In other words, he believed his own judgement. If Emily was the kind of person as described on the Internet, he would not let her win the championship in the first place.

Emily's heart was inexplicably moved. It felt like the rush of warm stream flowing from her heart to her limbs. Victor's trust in her gave her confidence.

There were still people who believed in her. Moreover, one of them is Victor...

What reason did she have for giving up to the bullies so easily? None!

She must definitely prove her innocence to those people! Those who had looked down on her, laughed at her and defamed her!

"If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know."

He handed Emily his contact card. She wore the look of appreciation on her face and said," I don't know how to express my gratitude. Thank you very much, Mr. Victor."

Victor simply replied," All right." He didn't say anything else, before he turned around and walked away.

Emily waved him farewell, regardless, if he could see it or not. "Goodbye, Mr. Victor!"

Meanwhile, Jack, who Emily thought had already left, was spying on the two from a distance where he could not be seen. He watched as the "hero" Victor saved the "beauty" Emily and brought her home to safety...He was the one who should be Emily's knight in shining armour, not that Victor or whatever his name!

He stood there in that place for a long time. Thinking of the man's face, he suddenly turned around and kicked the door of his Aston Martin!

"Bang!"

The loud sound came with a shallow dent on the door of his expensive car. The woman sitting inside the car screamed out in fear.

"Jack, What are you doing?" Rose carefully got her head out of the window and asked the raging man, softly.

Jack ignored her, fuming with uncontrollable anger.

As he gradually calmed down, it came to him that he do know the man. It was Victor!

'No wonder Emily won the championship in the Jewelry Design Competition; the judge Victor is her paramour!' He remembered how much Emily had admired Victor ever since she was just a student!
