A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 331

Emily didn't prepare for the meeting with Jacob. She had spent the last few days in dreadful anxiety and restlessness. She did not know how to face the man she was once deeply in love with.

However, the fact that Jacob hadn't made any efforts to approach her after they first ran into each other that day, confused her. It was as if he had forgotten all about her.

Emily laughed at herself in her mind, 'What was I expecting anyway?'

Wasn't it better that he didn't show up unannounced?

At least, she did not have to put up a facade to mask her emotions. Wasn't it great?

'Let it be. Things will unfold on its own, ' she comforted herself.

Unfortunately, what Emily didn't know was that Jacob was lying in a hospital getting his severe injuries taken care of. The considerable amount of blood loss had left his face weak and pale.

Every fiber of his being wanted to find Emily, but he couldn't find her in his current state. He didn't want Emily to see him like that.

"Mr. Jacob, I've checked out what you've asked me to. They are......" Sam reported, as he stood beside Jacob's bed.

Jacob closed his eyes and then opened them wide. A cold light flashed from his eyes, as he answered, "I see."

Before he heard Sam's report, Jacob had already figured out who had ordered the killers to assassinate him. Who else on earth would want him dead, apart from Jack?

It was pity that Jack didn't exert his full strength to kill Jacob.

'Jack, I've given you enough chances. But now it's time to pay the piper, ' thought Jacob.

Jacob had made up his mind. Suddenly, something occurred to him, and Jacob looked at Sam again and asked, "When's the business cocktail party this time?"

Sam answered, "The day after tomorrow."

"Where's my invitation?" asked Jacob.

When Sam realized that Jacob had decided to go to the cocktail party, he got flustered. With a look of genuine concern on his face, he advised, "Mr. Jacob, you still need more rest to regain your strength. Your wounds need time to heal. Please don't put your own health at risk. I mean..." he advised.

Jacob frowned and intruded, "I know what I 'm doing."

'This is bullshit! How can you go to the party like this?' Sam mused.

Although, he really wanted to speak his mind, out of frustration, he did not have the courage to voice his contradiction to Jacob. He bit his lip and urged, "Mr. Jacob, this party... this party dose not matter to us. Maybe you..."

"It matters to me very much," insisted Jacob. Jacob looked up at Sam with a cold stare, and continued, "You just have to execute my orders. Anything else is not a part of your concerns."

Sam tried to persuade Jacob, but he didn't want to overstep his boundaries. "Yes, sir. I'll get on it right away," he answered.

"Well, you can go now," said Jacob.

"Okay, sir," Sam walked out of the ward accordingly.

Now there was only Jacob in this deluxe single ward. The pain was tolerable for him, but the one thing that he struggled to deal with was the emptiness in his heart.

The only person who could fix the emptiness in his heart wasn't willing to do so anymore.

Jacob's sight moved towards the door without a conscious thought. He did not know what he was looking forward to, but he was too stubborn to move his sight away.

'How great it would be if Emily came to see me!' thought Jacob.

However, he laughed at the absurdity of his own wishes. Emily did not even know what had happened to him and where he was right now. How would she possibly show up there?

Moreover, even if she knew, it was hard to say whether she would want to see him or not.

Disappointment emerged in his eyes eventually. The pain from his wounds surged up and shook his body.

Suddenly, he heard someone walking towards his ward. The faint sound of footsteps drew closer every second.

Jacob, however, pushed her away immediately, throwing her to the ground at once.

"Back off!" said Jacob, without any hint of emotion in his eyes.

Before long, a few bodyguards walked in and escorted Jennifer out of the room rudely.

Jennifer did not struggle, as the tears streamed down her face like tiny waterfalls.

Jennifer figured that Jacob was only attracted to Emily for her innocence. But why? Jennifer even stooped low and tried to emulate Emily's innocence, but that didn't work either. She couldn't understand why Jacob wouldn't even look at her?

...

Emily also received an invitation to the business cocktail party. She had no reason to refuse it. Although, she dreaded the thought of meeting someone she couldn't face there, she didn't want to run from reality.

Even Jack stopped pestering her, which came as a massive surprise and relief to her. At last, she didn't have to think about dealing with his irritating badgering.

On the day of the party.

Emily drove herself to the party, as the representative of Lu Jewelry. When she walked in, she caught the eyes of everyone there.

She was dressed elegantly in a handmade, light blue dress. The design of her dress highlighted her stunning figure. The sequin dotted hemline highlighted her bright eyes as they sparkled like a pair of luminescent diamonds, radiant and beautiful.

Beautiful and breathtaking. Close but unattainable.

Emily calmly met with everyone's glare. Among them, most of the women were envious of her, but the men showered her with their affection and appreciation.

"Who's she? She looks familiar, but I don't think I have met her before."

"She is the manager of Lu Jewelry, and the daughter of the Lu Family. I heard that she looks like Emily from LA Company."

"You're right. No wonder Mr. Jack keeps pursuing her. But she seems to be very different from Emily. I prefer Miss Lu..."
