A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 324

Jack hastily picked up the puppy and ran off. The mother dog noticed it right away and started to chase him.

His secretary was surprised at this. What had gotten into Jack and why was he acting like this? Stealing a puppy? What was he thinking?

Finally after half an hour, Jack was able to get rid of the mother dog. He and his secretary had kidnapped a puppy successfully with a few bites and scratches here and there.

"Mr. Jack, you need to go to the hospital for your rabies vaccine," the secretary said, concerned. They were already inside the car with the puppy but Jack was seemingly more concerned with the puppy than with his wounded arm.

"I will," Jack said as he handed the dog to him, "Take him to the vet and get him washed up and checked and all of that. Make sure he's healthy."

He wanted Beryl to have a healthy and flea-free pet dog.

The secretary took the dog and nodded and then as it struck him, he asked, "Mr. Jack, what about the samoyed at my place?"

"Oh…you can have him." Jack replied.

"... Um, okay, thank you sir," the secretary replied, confused.

Jack leaned back on his seat feeling slightly relieved. He had accomplished his mission. He started picturing Beryl with the puppy - playing with him and hugging him. For the first time, he felt what it was like to be a father and it was the sweetest feeling in the world.

'Beryl is my daughter!

She's going to accept me eventually! I'm sure of it!' Jack said to himself.

After Jack went to the hospital, he went back to his office. He acted as nonchalantly as he could while he kept an eye on Jacob.

Jacob was surprisingly calm. He seemed to believe him and he was acting like nothing had happened.

But Jack had an inkling that this just wasn't the whole story. It can't be this easy. Sooner or later, Jacob was bound to find out everything. In fact, he was most probably be doing something right now to find out the truth.

Jack was changing a lot too - he was no longer the old Jack who had no power. He'd grown enough that he was able to face Jacob head on. Jacob was no longer a threat to him but he was still worried that Emily might still have feelings for Jacob and that would be his biggest problem.

There were so many tangles and obstacles from their past. Jack also knew that he himself was also the reason why Emily left in the first place. And if things started to unravel, Emily might decide to return to Jacob which was the last thing Jack ever wanted to see.

Now, Emily was claiming to be Cloris and she didn't seem to remember anything from the past. But what if she suddenly remembered everything? Then Jack would even have less of a chance than he did now.

So the most important thing he should do now was to win Emily over and get her to fall in love with him before Jacob could even enter the picture. Once Emily fell in love with him, Jacob would be nothing but a sore loser. 'So now my main focus should be on Emily and on making sure Jacob doesn't stand a chance. I should make plans for all scenarios...'

Jack became so absorbed in planning his next move that he completely forgot what he was doing.

"Wow, what happened to Jack? Did you get into a fight with a dog, Jack?" Jacob's voice snapped him out of his daze. They were in their regular staff meeting and Jack had zoned out.

All of the staff turned to Jack. His suit was dirty with paw marks everywhere and his arms were wrapped in bandages. Everyone wanted to know what happened to him.

"I'm fine," Jack said and turned to Jacob reluctantly, "Leave me alone, Jacob. This meeting isn't about me. Don't waste our staff's time."

'I've got more important things to worry about right now. I won't waste my time with you, Jacob. By the time Emily falls in love with me, you'll just be sorry, ' Jack thought in his head.

...

The next afternoon, Jack took the puppy to Emily's house.

Jack quickly surveyed the building as he stood in front of the gate. The house was fairly nice but it wasn't good enough for Emily and Beryl.
