A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 336

Jacob sneered, "You really know how to come up with plans."

"Is that a yes?" asked Mr. Gu.

"But on one condition," Jacob said.

"Go on," added Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu seemed to have peaked his interest.

"This is the last thing I will do for you," Jacob said, with a cold, hard look on his face.

"Okay," Mr. Gu promised quickly. He seemed to have thought of something, and his wrinkled old face showed an unidentified smile. "Jacob, the war in A country is so fierce that you must come back alive, otherwise how can you avenge me?"

Jacob knew what Mr. Gu was implying. With his dark, piercing eyes he said, "Anyway, I am going to live longer than you, you can rest assured."

On his way out, Jacob ran into Jack.

"You've seen Emily? Are you happy?" Jacob mocked. Jack glared at Jacob's face gloomily, and said," I am wondering why you haven't died yet."

"Shut up!" he screamed at Jack. Jacob's face was as cold as ice. He warned, "If you let it out, I will kill you."

Suddenly, Jack frowned with shame. He knew that Jacob was talking about Emily.

Whether it was in the office or at other places, Jack upheld the principle of not letting Jacob be happy. He always liked to work against him, but for this matter, they acted in tacit agreement.

Neither of them wanted Mr. Gu to know about Emily's existence, to avoid any kind of harm befalling her.

Jack's hot pursuit of Emily had drawn the attention of Mr. Gu. In order to avoid suspicion, he did not go to the party, instead he carried out the tasks given to him by Mr. Gu.

The fear in his heart had grow into hatred over the years.

Not only did he want Jacob to die, he also wanted Mr. Gu to die. That way, nobody could stop him from being with Emily.

"Jack," Jacob called out, looking like a beast stretching out its sharp claws. "Just because you want me to die, doesn't mean that I will," he added.

Jack's heart trembled, as the air around him starting to feel thick and hard to breathe in. He had not seen that side of Jacob in a long time.

Yes, this was Jacob. Many years had passed, and he had grown accustomed to his silence, but he had not forgotten his real nature.

Cruel, cold-blooded and merciless.

Even in slumber the lion was still the king of the jungle.

And the person who awakened the sleeping lion within Jacob was Emily.

But what of that? Jack had been plotting it for so many years, he was unlikely to lose.

"Well, it depends on who will die first," Jack sneered and then walked away.

It made no difference whether it was the Gu Consortium or Emily, this was his time to rise. No one could take them away from him!

On his way back, Jacob leaned back in his car seat, and closed his eyes. No one could tell what he was thinking.

Sam, who was driving, observed him from the rear-view mirror occasionally, and found nothing unusual. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Jacob was thinking about what Mr. Gu had said to him.

His only brother was still alive... Jacob concluded, that if Mr. Gu was using his brother as a trading card, it would mean that his brother was safe now.

In any case, he would find a way to save him somehow.

Jacob opened his eyes slowly to the scenery outside that flashed away quickly like a reel of film. He thought of the indifference in Emily today and a sharp pang of affection surged into his heart.

No matter how Emily treated him, as long as she was alive and happy, nothing else mattered.

But he had already promised Mr. Gu. Soon he would have to leave and he wouldn't be able to keep an eye on her any longer... That was the hardest pill for Jacob to swallow.
