A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 254

Mark stared at Tina quietly and the disappointment was evident on his face.

Tina was disoriented by Mark's slap, but when she slowly came to her senses. She began to laugh hysterically. "Mark, don't you think you're being too dramatic? Love? What's that?" she taunted.

Repulsed, Mark pursed his lips, as he did not bother to give her an answer.

Suddenly, Tina's face transformed, as if she had finally discarded all her masks and disguises. "Do you really believe that you can control me? Give me what I want, or else, get out of my sight!" Tina yelled.

"I am not going anywhere," Mark said calmly, "Try to calm down, Tina."

"How can I calm down? My inside is going crazy right now! You and everyone else are driving me mad!" she cried out. Suddenly, a bolt of white hot lightning crackled against the black sky, illuminating Tina's wide-eyed, ugly face, as she appeared like a terrifying beast emerging from the half-light of the encroaching night.

Mark turned around to pick up a box of withdrawal pills and said, "Here, take this! This will help with the pain for now."

Tina knocked down the box and screamed, "Get out!"

Disheartened, Mark bent down silently and picked up the box. He opened the lid, took out one pill and put it in his mouth.

Before Tina knew it, Mark pulled her face close and kissed her with raw intensity. The first moan escaped Tina's lips. Their tongues entwined, and he sent the bitter pill into her mouth.

By the time Mark pulled away, Tina was breathless, gasping for air. The pill was long gone, swallowed by Tina.

However, the withdrawal pill was not strong enough to suppress Tina's pain, as she began to curse Jacob and Emily like a madwoman.

However, she never mentioned Mark, as he had never been important enough to her. She did not even want to hate him...

This was going to be another sleepless night.

...

In the meantime, when Jacob came back to the Gu Consortium, he found that Jack had made many changes right under his nose. However, since Jacob had a solid foundation within the company, Jack wasn't able to cause much trouble for him.

The most important one was Mr. Gu.

Jacob used to constantly test Mr. Gu's patience just to see how much Mr. Gu could tolerate. Unfortunately, from the looks of it, Mr. Gu had lost all his patience with Jacob now.

Mr. Gu wanted to control Jacob by stripping away his influence within the company. However, much to everyone's surprise, Jacob was a majority shareholder in the Gu Consortium. One should never forget that the climax always came in the end.

Jacob couldn't not hide the malice in his eyes, when he looked back at the past ten years. Eventually, everyone had to pay the piper someday. No matter who he was, Mr. Gu, or anyone else in the Gu family.

But right now, Jacob had more pressing matters to attend to. The killer of Emily's parents was still out there and if he wanted to prove Emily's innocence, he would have to find out the truth behind their deaths. Only then would Emily be safe.

However, as Jacob began his investigation, the media outlets in Jingshi City began to report the news of Emily's arrest. The headlines read—" The Girlfriend of Gu Consortium Is Suspected of Murdering Her Foster Parents."

Soon, Emily was cast aside by everyone in Jingshi City.

Jacob tried his best to cover up most of fake news, but he could not cover everyone's mouth.

"The Tao family are so petty that they did not even mind exposing themselves to insult Emily!" Jacob snapped. Driven mad with anger, Jacob slammed his fist on the table!

Sam, who was standing next to him, gingerly, said, "Mr. Jacob we must find the murderer quickly and soon the rumors will disappear on its own."

Jacob answered coldly, "I know that. Let's begin our investigation with the Tao family."
