A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"Why are you stopping me? I am going to the company now," said Emily.

Distressed and annoyed, she looked at the servants who were standing guard at the door angrily, as her head felt like it would explode at any moment.

The servants looked at each other helplessly, not knowing what to do. One of them whispered,"Miss Emily, we're only following Mr. Jacob's orders. We hope that you can understand. If we let you leave the mansion, we will all lose our jobs."

Emily had no words to express her anger, but she could not just pretend that nothing was wrong, so she turned around and walked straight back to her room and shut the door behind her.

What was Jacob thinking? Keeping her locked up in the mansion?

The servants brought her lunch and dinner when it was time. At first, Emily thought about waiting until evening when Jacob would return, so she could have a word with him. However, she did not expect that she would be waiting so long for him that she'd end up falling asleep. Even then there was no sign of Jacob.

Early next morning, Emily found out from one of the servants that Jacob did not return to the Tyrone Mansion last night. She got anxious and thought about calling the other party, but to her surprise, the other party cut the call without even answering it.

Was Jacob mad at her for some reason?

Jacob did not return to the Tyrone Mansion for several days. Meanwhile, Emily's mobile phone was also taken away. It was literally impossible for her to contact the outside world. She wondered how the LA Company was doing.

Gradually, Emily calmed down, knowing that Jacob couldn't keep her imprisoned like that forever.

In the middle of the night, she carefully slid down the pipe outside the window. After she landed safely, she was about breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly, she could hear heavy footsteps coming from behind her. Almost in an instant, her heart sank to the ground.

"Are you trying to run away?"

In the dark moonlit night, the man's voice sounded deep and captivating, yet it exuded a certain sense of foreboding.

Emily's heart squeaked like a mice as she slowly turned around. She saw a man standing, tall and cold, with a sense of ruthlessness.

She bit her lip and mumbled,"Jacob..."

But before she could finish, the man pushed her up against the wall and pressed his body to hers.
