"I'm bound to say that you really love Emily very much," Magee sneered, as he let his eyes settle upon Jacob's face. Then he raised a provocative question, "If I do as I wish and insist on pursuing her, what would you do to me? I have this strong urge to sleep with Emily and taste how sweet she is. After all, Jack and you were both crazy about her. She must have done a great job. I'm curious about her."
Just as the words fell from his lips, Jacob completely lost his temper and punched Magee in the face.
Magee didn't expect him to start the fight without saying a word. Since, he was unwilling to get caught by surprise again, he quickly hit Jacob back hard.
Jacob kicked Magee in the stomach, the whites in his eyes turned pure black, and as his iris glowered teal. For a villainous man like Magee, pleading with tactful words was useless. Jacob would rather give Magee a good fight to relieve his anger.
Both men were strong, fast and well adept at fighting. When they fought, each of their movements were calculated and purposeful. If there had been an audience on the scene, they would have gone about them. Unfortunately, it was just the two of them. As time went by, the fight became more vicious, and they started going at each other at full force.
Eventually, Jacob gained the upper hand. He pushed Magee on the ground and grabbed him by the throat. "Magee, Emily is my woman. She has nothing to do with the Gu clan," he said.
Magee spat out a mouthful of blood and sneered, "It's all the same for me.
Jim and I are sworn enemies. We were, we are, and will always be sworn enemies.
Sophistry can't alter history. And I won't fall for your sophistries." At this moment, Magee was no longer the gentleman from his usual disposition, as his eyes were glowing with bitter hatred.
Jacob looked down at him and said, "Magee, you big sissy! Jim screwed over your family, and in return, you only dare to take revenge on women. What else can you do? Nothing! To be honest, you are a loser!"
Jacob's high-minded mockery cut him to the quick. Magee stared at Jacob balefully, as if he would jump up and bite him in the neck at any moment. Gritting his teeth hard, he said, "Jacob, don't you dare say that again."
"Magee, you are a loser!" Jacob repeated.
Jacob loosened his tight grip from Magee's neck and picked up the car keys from the ground. He dusted his clothes and walked to his Maybach without even looking back at the bloody mess he had left behind.
Magee staggered to his feet, swaying a little. A sudden gush of pain jolted through his body, and his wounds began to burn like fire. It hurt to breathe, and he winced as he ran his hand over his ribs. He predicted two, or perhaps, three broken ribs, courtesy of Jacob.
"Fuck! Jacob, you son of a bitch! Damn you to hell!" he screamed angrily.
Magee took out his cell phone and searched for a name on his contacts' list. When he saw Leona's name, he hesitated perceptibly and called his assistant. "Come pick me up now, I'm in..."
After hanging up the phone, Magee lay on the ground in a big zigzag shape, thinking of what Jacob had just said.
"Magee, you big sissy! Jim screwed over your family, and in return, you only dare to take revenge on women. What else can you do? Nothing!
To be honest, you are a loser!"
Magee's face gradually became gloomy. Jim had destroyed his family by taking his mother away from him and finally murdering her. They were separated from each other by death. Jim had taken away all his happiness. It was a deep-seated hatred. How could his hatred be written off by sleeping with the woman of the Gu clan?
'This is ridiculous! Jacob called me a loser. In truth, his own family was ruined and all of his relatives were killed. And it was also because of Jim. But he regards his enemy as his father. What a joke! How dare he criticize me? Damn it! I despise him from the bottom of my heart.'
……
A few days later, Emily suddenly noticed that Magee was no longer harassing her as he had done before. She guessed that he might have given up pursuing her, which gave her a sense of relief. Soon, she got back to her own life and dedicated herself to her work.
What she didn't know was that at this time, Magee had sent Jacob a text message, and the two men finally joined forces and presented a united front for the first time.
Meanwhile, Leona resigned from her post at Lin Jewelry. And in the following days, she could no longer live in its days of brilliance. Even if Emily didn't take revenge on her, she would have a miserable life.
Emily hired a new nanny to take care of Beryl, while some uneasiness still lurked in her mind. Zoe had poisoned her food and tried to kill her. It was horrible. What if she had poisoned Beryl as well? The mere thought of it shook her to her very core.
So now, after work, she would go home as early as possible and personally make dinner for Beryl.
