A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 256

Betty's lackeys rushed toward Emily as soon as they got the order. They backed Emily to a corner and surrounded her.

"Bitch! Don't you dare run away from Betty! Pin her against the wall! Let's see if she can get away this time," one of the lackeys threatened.

A rush of chill ran down Emily's spine, gripping her with fear. Frightened, Emily staggered backwards, but she was at the end of her rope, back against the wall. "Stay away from me!" Emily cried, helplessly.

"Hah, hah, hah!" Betty's lackey laughed wickedly, taunting her with menacing eyes.

"Bang!" A loud noise resounded in the room. Suddenly, the restroom door was kicked open by someone.

Everyone in the restroom, including Emily, froze on the spot. She squinted, unable to make out the face of the man, silhouetted against the bright light behind him, as he drew nearer towards her. As soon as she realized who the man was, she burst into tears of joy and cried out, "Jacob!"

Jacob? Suddenly, the reality of the situation hit Betty's lackeys like a freight train. Needless to say, the sight of the chief of police and a squad of policemen standing behind Jacob, scared them out of their wits.

"It's not our fault! Betty forced us to do this!" they said. Betty's 'not-so-loyal' lackeys instantly sold her out and denied any voluntary involvement in the matter, as they slowly stepped away from her.

Astounded, Betty gaped at them all, staring in stunned disbelief from one face to the next. She gritted her teeth to stop herself from cursing at them, because she didn't want to lose face in public. She sheepishly looked at Jacob and said, "I was just going to take care of her..."

But before she could weave a web of lies, she felt a fist hit connect with her jaw at so much force that blood pooled in her mouth.

Betty cried out, as pain erupted from the point of impact. Before she could even say anything, Jacob grabbed her head and brought his knee to her nose. He pushed her against the wall and ploughed into her stomach.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Blood leaked from her twisted nose. By the time Jacob was finished with her, she looked like she got hit by a car. Jacob's unbridled brutality echoed throughout the room, frightening even the hardened criminals witnessing the scene.

Betty was a bloody mess on the floor. Her chest violently rising and sinking with each shallow breath she drew in. She had never known the meaning of pain until now. She couldn't even fight back.

"I was wrong. It's all my fault. Forgive me please!" Betty begged, overwhelmed with fear and gasping for air.

Jacob wasn't convinced. Blood hummed in his veins as anger took over. He just couldn't hold back his anger at the thought of Betty hurting the love of his life. Jacob continued battering her face. The pain blazed up his arm, but even that did not stop him.

Stunned, Emily was afraid that Jacob was going to kill Betty, so she rushed to him and said, "Jacob, stop! Don't hit her anymore! That's enough!"

As soon as Jacob heard Emily's voice, his vision came back. It was as if he had come back to reality. His hands shaking, as blood dripped from his knuckles. Betty, consequently, was too weak to scream. She lay on the floor writhing like a dying fish. Jacob had deconstructed her face with his bare fists.

"Jacob..." said Emily, as she looked at Jacob pensively. She bit her lips and didn't know what to say.

Jacob looked back at her and wiped off the blood on his hands. After he wiped his hands clean, Jacob walk straight to Emily and pulled her in his arms. He whispered, "I'm here."

Emily was deeply touched just by his simple words. She groaned and buried her face in his firm chest.

Jacob raised her chin up and then picked her up in his arms before walking out, while the rest of them looked at each other blankly.

The chief of police turned to the women and said angrily, "Lock these troublemakers up!"

Finally, Emily calmed down after Jacob got her into the car. She leaned still on Jacob's chest and asked, "Have you found the murderer?"

"Yes," Jacob answered coldly, "It was Tina."

"What? Tina? Really?" she exclaimed. Shocked, Emily shuddered in disbelief, unable to form proper sentences. "How could she... How could she do such a terrible thing?" Emily asked, baffled and confused.

Although Debby and Andrew had not raised Tina, they were still her birth parents! There was no denying of the truth! Even if she didn't like them and didn't want to accept them, she didn't have to do such a terrible thing to the people who brought her into the world.

Tina was so barbaric!

Emily fell in deep sorrow as she thought back to what Debby and Andrew had done for Tina and how they had forsaken her, the daughter they had raised, for the sake of Tina, their ungrateful spawn.
