A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 21

Unfortunately, the much anticipated slap failed to satisfy. Instead, Jack quickly caught Emily's slender wrist with one hand, hard enough to break her bones. Jack's frenzied expression was starting to make her nervous.

"Emily, do you think I'll still spoil you like I used to? Believe it or not, I can snap your hand like a twig!"

Unable to pull away from Jack, Emily could only stare at him helplessly, with her lips pressed tightly. She refused to respond to his threats.

Jack smiled coldly, pointing to his friends sitting next to him," You'd better figure out your position if you want to sell wine here. If you don't want to be alone with me, you can choose them. The more, the better."

Having read the hint in Jack's eyes, the expression of his friends' face turned lustful.

"Oh! That's so kind of you, Jack. It would be our honor to even play with those you don't want any more."

"No problem." Emily responded suddenly, lowering her eyes in shame," Please let go of me first, Mr. Gu."

She had no intentions of keeping in touch with Jack. Everything he did sickened her to the core.

Jack froze in disbelief for a brief moment, upon hearing her response, before turning mad with anger.

Realizing the fact that Emily would rather play with his friends than stay with him, angered him beyond control.

When Emily noticed Jack's grip on her wrist loosening, she struggled harder and finally got away from him. She then carried the bottle of wine to the men sitting next to Jack.

This infuriated Jack severely, and without giving it a second thought, he forcefully grabbed Emily and threw her onto the leather sofa.

"Shameless woman! They will also think you're filthy though you're willing to play with them!"

Despite her dizziness from being thrown around by Jack, Emily still remembered to protect the wine in her arms. When she finally recovered, she snapped at him angrily," What the hell do you want? Filthy? Who is filthier? You or me?"

Jack stared at her and answered," Of course, you are."

Emily smiled wickedly all of a sudden, with a hint of sneer.

Regardless of what he had said, she knew that she was better than Jack; not only did Jack have a filthy body, he also had a filthy mind.

"Be careful, Mr. Gu, and be sure not to touch me any more, otherwise, your noble status will get stained with my filth."

Irritated by those words, Jack eye's were full of anger, he said," Trust me, I'd never touch you because it would disgust me!"

"I'm so sorry that you feel that way. If you have no intention of buying wine, I shall take my leave now."

Emily acted politely and kindly, even though there was a hint of alienation in her eyes as she looked at Jack as if she had been talking to a stranger.

She had no time or energy to play with Jack. He could eat the bread of idleness but she had more pressing matters at hand—she needed to make money to save her father.

"Or course, I'll buy." Jack changed his expression gradually, as if some conniving idea had presented itself to him, and continued in a malicious tone," Well, I'll buy any bottle of wine as long as you drink the whole bottle by yourself, okay?"

Emily paused for a moment to think about Jack's words.

She realized that Jack was teasing her deliberately just to embarrass her, but she was desperate and couldn't help but calculate the commission she could earn from those expensive wine.

Sometimes, money doesn't mean everything in life, but without money, life is nothing, especially when one is in trouble and in desperate need of money.

Emily closed her eyes to calm down before turning back to make sure," You'll buy as much as wine as I can drink?"

Jack sneered slightly," Yes."
