A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 75

Rose sensed a hint of pity and remorse in Jack's eyes. She bit her lip and feigned concern,"Emily, do you think you are the only one that is hurting? What about Jack? Your betrayal broke his heart into a million pieces because of how much he loved you."

'You are right, ' Emily thought, 'I betrayed Jack. He used to be nice to me, but I cheated on him with another man.'

Encouraged by Rose's words, Jack's facial expression suddenly turned stern and cold,"How dare you say that I have lied to you? You're the one who was lying to me all this time. Emily, does it feel good to date another man when you are with me?"

'He knows about Jacob then, ' Emily raised her head with no emotional fluctuation in her eyes. Her patience was wearing thin, as she soon got tired of trying to make Jack understand that he was wrong about her.

None of her explanations were met with any positive reactions.

"You are right," Emily uttered,"but it seems like you have played a better game than me."

Jack was expecting a pitiful explanation from Emily, but he did not expect Emily to own up to her mistakes so easily. Disappointed by Emily's lack of remorse, he cursed,"You really are a bitch!"

"Oh, are you talking about yourself?" Emily wanted to laugh at Jack's words, but she could not laugh, nor could she express her feelings at that moment.

"The man who saved me when I was buried under the ruins on the day of the earthquake," Emily asked,"it was not you, right?" Emily finally dropped the bomb on Jacob. That was her actual purpose of visiting Jack, but she never thought that Jack would shock her with such a big "surprise".

'It was really thoughtful of Jack, ' Emily thought ironically.

Jack totally blew a gasket, unable to tolerate Emily's arrogance. His face contorted with rage, as he suddenly grabbed Emily's shoulders so hard that it seemed like he was going to crush her bones,"You are right. I did not save you that day! It was Jacob! Are you happy now?! You two have been making fun of me from the very beginning!"

Actually, Emily found out about the truth from Sam, but she needed to be absolutely certain, so she needed Jack to admit to his misdeed.

"Why did you lie to me?"

'Why?

Because I am jealous of Jacob! Because I did not want to accept the truth!

Do you know how hard it was for me to disguise myself in front of you?' Jack cried in his heart.

However, instead of confessing his innermost thoughts to Emily, Jack burst out laughing and arrogantly replied,"Obviously, I lied to you to earn your trust."

"What about that car accident? Was that also a part of your plan?"

Jack was stunned by her question. As a matter of fact, that day when the car was about to hit Emily, before he could even think, his body moved on its own to protect Emily from being harmed.

At this point, Rose, who was standing beside Jack and listening to Emily's words silently, felt nothing but guilt, because she was the driver who intended to knock over Emily that day.

And she was certain that Jack didn't mean what he had said to Emily. Although, he concealed his real emotions, the fact that he was still in love with Emily was very clear to Rose. "Of course!" said Jack,"Do you know who was driving that car that day? It was Rose, but she did it under my instructions. I pushed you away in the last minute and got myself injured, just so I could earn your trust. It was all under my control."

"You betrayed me, and I got even with you. An eye for an eye. By the way, do you really believe that Jacob loves you? Yes, he may have saved you, but you are only a toy in his eyes."

Rose was moved by Jack's words, because she didn't expect that Jack would take the blame for her.

Emily suddenly remembered how agitated she was when she learned that Jack was having an affair with another woman. Ironically, at this moment, she felt completely apathetic, even though one could assume from her exhausted face that she must have broken her heart.

"Well, I see," said Emily.

'This is ridiculous, ' she thought, 'Jack had an affair with another woman at first, and now I am to blame for everything.'

Emily dreamt of marrying Jack and spending the rest of their lives growing old together, but now reality had beaten her imaginations.

She should have never gotten back with Jack. Nothing in their relationship was real, except for the ridiculous, pitiable lies and betrayals.

"Jack," Emily took a deep breath, stared at Jack's eyes and word by word uttered a sentence that was as hard as a heavy rock slamming into Jack's heart,"We are done."

Emily gently covered her swollen left cheek, turned her back and walked away without taking another look at Jack and Rose.
