A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily took one short glance at the flowers and assumed they were from Jack. She looked completely uninterested, as she coldly
replied, "Throw them away."
Emily's colleague seemed to have been taken aback by her response. She hesitated and asked, "Miss Bai, are you sure you
don't want them?
After all, they are a symbol of one's love for you."
"If you want them, you can have them."
Immediately, her colleague stopped talking and walked out of the room with the flowers.
Just a few minutes after she walked out, Emily's cellphone rang. She answered it without a second thought, and heard the deep
voice of a man on the other side of the call.
"Emily, how dare you! You let people throw away the flowers I'd sent you?"
The man's tone was very solemn, as if he were discussing matters of great importance with her, making Emily feel a little
nervous. All of a sudden, Emily felt like she had done something far terrible than just throwing away a bunch of ordinary roses.
"What?
I didn't know they were from you..."
Emily wondered how the news had traveled so fast?
"Then who did you think it was from?
Jack?" Jacob's voice softened when he realized the reason behind her confusion. "Go and pick them up, and don't throw them
away."
"All right..." Without a conscious thought, Emily obeyed his orders. She walked out of the office with her cellphone and saw the
bouquet of roses at the foot of the stairs. Having the flowers thrown in the garbage bin did not do justice to its beauty.
Fortunately, the garbage bin was clean and empty. Emily found the roses to be just as gorgeous as they were before.
Emily picked up the flowers, habitually patted them twice and said, "I have picked them up."

"Good girl."
Emily, "......"
After all, she couldn't disobey her boss's orders. She found an empty vase and filled it with water, then she put the roses in one
by one. After she put them aside, she sighed a breath of relief.
What exactly did Jacob mean?
Emily believed that the reason why Jacob pursued her was just the heat of the moment. Now she was not his so he wanted to
get her. He might not want to commit to a serious relationship.
People like Jacob could get any women if he wanted. But he seldom called them his "girlfriends".
Emily hoped that Jacob would lose interest on her, sooner rather than later.
......
Meanwhile, Jack on the other hand, was also upset.
Jack was asked to come to the company early in the morning by Jacob, where he had been waiting for Jacob's arrival for over
half an hour. When they finally met, Jacob scolded him without listening to his reasons, making him lose face in front of the other
senior officials.
In his heart, the accumulation of dissatisfaction and unwillingness gradually emerged, diluting even the slightest bit of respect he
had for Jacob.
In truth, Jack was the family's own flesh and blood; the rightful heir to the family's business empire, while Jacob was only an
adopted child of the master of the house. He was an outsider. Why was he allowed to hold all the power of the family?
It wasn't fair to Jack!
Jack, however, was not completely brainless. He didn't retaliate, in order to avoid making a scene in front of the people. Instead,
he hung his head low in shame.
Jacob noticed Jack's anger, but he just cast it aside. In the face of absolute power, all the anger without strength was
meaningless.

Jacob called Jack into the office and transferred him to EM directly. With an irrefutable tone, Jack demanded, "You need to work
on your performance. Go to the branch in D City and hone your skills. This company will help you practise and learn."
Last time, Jacob tried to send Jack to M Country. It had attracted old Mr. Gu's attention. In addition, Jack was suspicious of his
real motives. This time, he did not transfer Jack abroad, instead, he just transferred him to another city, far away from Jingshi
City, so that Jack would be far away from Emily.
Although Jack was unwilling to follow Jacob's orders, he did not have a valid reason to challenge him.
Last time Jack got away by using his injuries as an excuse. Would he resort to the same trick again this time?
Jacob, however, was not a foolish man. He had lots of other ways to deal with Jack.
D City was too far away from here. What if Jack couldn't come up with a way to stay and had to spent the next few months, or
even years away from Emily? That way, not only would Jack be unable to see Emily, he also wouldn't be able to change her
mind about him, because he wouldn't even be there for her... But it was better than going abroad.
Jack left the office with full reluctance and dissatisfaction.
As soon as he walked out of the Gu Group, Rose, who had been waiting outside, rushed towards Jack.
"Jack, why haven't you been coming to see me lately?"
Rose held Jack's arm and asked with a smile.
Jack, however, was not in the mood. He pushed her away with a big wave of his hand and said, "Stay away from me."
If Jacob had seen him with Rose, he would have probably found another excuse to lecture him again. Being the uncle gave
Jacob the right to scold his nephew Jack when he misbehaved. The generation gap between them was very frustrating for Jack.
Although, Rose was no longer close to Jack, she asked him out of concern, "Jack, am I making you unhappy? Or is there
something I am not going properly..."
"It's nothing."
"Get in the car first, " said Jack. After all, she used to be his favorite.
"Okay."

Rose behaved very obediently. She accompanied Jack to the parking lot and then got inside the car with him.
Rose had run into a series of misfortunes, since the last time she plotted against Emily. Not only was her past revealed to the
public, which eventually led to her getting fired, she was also threatened by thugs.
Lately, she had been too caught up in her own affairs to find the time to make trouble for Emily.
However, not having seen Jack in a long time, gave her a scare.
"Jack, I've been having a hard time lately..."
Rose thought it was time to rekindle their fling, so she began to talk to Jack in an attempt to arouse his love for her.
Jack listened to her drivel and soon grew impatient. "You'll have to take of your problems by yourself. I'll give you some money
later, but for now, we need to spend some time apart."
Rose stared at him in shock, "Jack, don't you want me anymore?
Why? Did I do something wrong?"
"No."
"Then why?"
Jack started the car and slowly glanced at her. "I'm going to get Emily back. I want her to come back to me."
Surprised by what Jack was saying, Rose listened silently, with jealousy and resentment. She asked him, "But, Jack... don't you
hate her anymore?
Emily, she's already been with other men..."
At this point, she realized that she had made a mistake, so she decided to stop talking. Flustered, she added, "Sorry, Jack..."
It was already too late. Jack had already heard what she had said. All of a sudden, it seemed like his body was burning up with
anger from within.
"Of course, I hate her. But I can't tolerate her being with other people either."

Emily's betrayal was like a thorn in his heart. He could not even pull it out with his own hands. Moreover, after last time, Jack
knew for sure that he didn't want to lose her. No matter what the cost, he had to have Emily.
Jack did not want to see her with someone else. He did not want to see her being intimate with someone else. He didn't want to
see her hug and kiss with someone else... Just thinking about it made his head scream in excruciating pain!
No matter what, Emily belonged to him and only him!
Rose clearly saw the persistent light in Jack's eyes. She secretly clenched her fists with hatred, as her long and beautiful nails
cut deeply into her palms.
Damn Emily! Even though she had already broken up with Jack, she still had him eating from the palm of her hands!
