The jailers quickly got Rose out of the cell and put her into the car. Then they drove her to a funeral home.
But they were wrong, because Rose wasn't dead. Once the jailers had left, she struggled to open her eyes and sneaked around to escape the funeral home. 'I lived, bitches, ' she smirked to herself.
It was already midnight and the rain was pouring hard.
Despite her wobbly legs, she tried to run. She had to escape and find someplace to hide!
'I won't die here!
If I die right now, I won't be able to avenge myself and my baby!'
She ran in full speed, mustering all of her strength. Little did she know that there was a beam of light following her.
The car screeched as Rose fell down onto the ground.
Rose spat out a mouthful of blood and felt she had broken some bones.
'Ah, life is a bitch. After letting me survive for five minutes, it's going to kill me again.
I can't die here. Not today! Those bastards... I haven't gotten my revenge!'
Her eyes were full of resentment. Her thoughts were still cursing them, 'Even though I die, my spirit will never rest and will haunt you all till you all die!'
Rose coughed out blood again and she looked up at the starless sky. Everything was fading into black. The last thing she heard was some footsteps and a man's voice.
"What the hell?" the man grunted.
He lowered his head and stared at her who was already unconscious. He smirked to himself, and one could hardly tell what his intentions were.
He bent down to pick her up and brought her to his car.
The rain even poured heavier as he drove off.
Who was this mysterious man that took Rose into his car?
After Emily and Jacob reconciled with one another, it seemed nothing between them had changed.
Jacob was still disturbed on what happened before. He still couldn't tolerate the fact that she slept with someone else and was carrying his child!
However, losing Emily was something he wouldn't be able to handle. He tried to kill her baby and it only drove her away from him. That was something he wouldn't do ever again.
Jacob took out his anger at Jack so Jack was suffering injuries on his way to the African branch company. Every damn time, like a pesky cockroach, Jack managed to get by with Mr. Gu's help.
Emily had no idea about this. However, she was surprised when Mr. Gu called for her.
"Ms. Bai, now you are carrying a child of the Gu family, you must meet your elders. It's a family tradition and you are not allowed to break it!" That was what Arthur told her when he came to pick her up.
She was quite shocked as she didn't know that Mr. Gu knew about the whole incident and whether he was implying something.
However, as a sign of respect, Emily didn't refuse on meeting Mr. Gu. She sent a message to Jacob as she left with Arthur.
They soon at their destination, and Arthur led Emily into the Gu Mansion.
After passing through an ancient-looking corrider, Emily finally saw Mr. Gu who was sitting in the tea hall.
