A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 375

Jennifer was shocked to see Emily but she quickly downplayed the situation and gave a bitter smile. "I was wondering who it was. It's just you, Emily. Am I interrupting something?" said Jennifer.

Emily, however, cast a short glance at her and did not say anything in response.

Emily's ignorant attitude irritated Jennifer. However, an ambiguous expression slowly appeared on her face as she fixed her hair and clothes, and then coyly said, "I'm sorry you've had to see me in such a condition. I blame Jacob for being extra wild last night. I felt so weak in the morning, I got up late and didn't have the time to put on make up."

Clearly, Jennifer was suggesting that Jacob had slept with her last night. Immediately, Jacob's face twisted with anger and he shouted, "Who let her out?"

'Everything she said is bullshit! Do not believe her, Emily!' Jacob yelled in his mind.

Before long, the guards behind Jennifer came to take her away and lock her back in the room.

But Jennifer struggled and watched Emily's reaction as she yelled, "Jacob, why would you cheat on me and bring another woman in your house?

I am your fiancée! You asked me to live here with you! Did you forget that?"

"Shut up! Lock her back in the room!" Jacob ordered.

Jacob frowned and his face shriveled with humiliation, utterly disgusted by Jennifer's behavior. Indeed, Jacob locked Jennifer in his mansion so that she wouldn't be able to harm Emily, but Jacob didn't think that she would say such preposterous things to mislead Emily.

If Jacob knew this was going to happen, he would have locked up her in secluded place!

Disappointed at his own incompetence, Jacob turned around to explain to Emily and Beryl, "Listen to me. Don't believe a single word of what she says."

Beryl's eyes glimmered with curiosity and puzzlement. Jacob didn't know how to explain the situation to Beryl, so he looked at Emily affectionately hoping that Emily would understand him.

Unfortunately, that didn't work out well for him.

Emily's eyes were as tranquil as the surface of a lake without any waves. She looked back at Jacob indifferently.

It seemed like Emily did not care about the truth at all and she did not care whether what Jacob did was right or wrong. It made no difference to her whatsoever.

Jacob realized that there was no point in trying to explain the situation to her when he heard the coldness and apathy in her voice.

"Beryl and I will leave now. Thanks for taking care of Beryl," she said.

Although, Beryl was reluctant to leave, Emily was more important to her so she bid Jacob farewell politely, "Good-bye, uncle."

Before long, Emily walked out of the mansion with Beryl.

In a dramatic twist of events, even though just a while ago Jacob and Emily were so close to each other in the car, Jacob felt as if they had grown miles apart in less than an hour.

Loneliness ate at him from within, swallowing every ounce of hope he had to spare. It did not hurt but it felt cold.

Jacob stood there helplessly, as he watched the two most important women in his life gradually walk out of his life. He felt as if the air around him was suffocating him.

The housekeepers and maids stood aside, silently and gingerly.

They knew that Jacob was in bad mood.

They could not understand why Jacob did not persuade them to stay. Everyone could tell that he really cared about Emily and Beryl very much.

Emily and Beryl were long gone but Jacob stood at the gate like a statue. Moments later, he took out several pills from a vial in his pocket and swallowed them.

Soon, the impulse of being crazy and paranoid had disappeared and Jacob's mood was back to normal.
