A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 65 You Still Have No Class

It was too late for Emily to avoid the sudden attack, as Tina poured a glass of red wine all over her chest.

The red liquid quickly sprawled down her thin dress, contaminating it with a light, red tint. Emily felt uncomfortable as her chest was completely soaked in red wine.

"That's it. Now we're dressed in different colors." Tina was very pleased with herself. She smiled gleefully and did very little to disguise her complacency.

Furious, Emily clenched her hands and raised her head. With a deadpan expression on her face, she glared at the princess-like girl who stood condescendingly before her.

Tina, who didn't want to show weakness in the face of Emily, glared back at her and asked,"What do you want? Don't give me attitude. I don't like the look in your eyes..."

Tina jested as she picked up another glass of wine to pour it on Emily's head without hesitation!

Emily turned her face away, trying to avoid Tina the second time, when suddenly a tall figure appeared before Emily. With his back facing Emily like a mountain, he managed to protect her from being drenched in wine again.

"Who dares—" Tina cursed at the man, annoyed by his interference. Soon after she raised her head to see who it was, she whispered,"Gosh! Jac...Jacob?"

'Jacob? Is she talking about "Jacob Gu"?'

Emily's heart skipped a beat at the thought of Jacob. But before she could say anything, the man took off his dinner jacket and tossed it over to Emily without looking back at her.

However, his action did not attract Tina's attention because she was too surprised to see Jacob there,"Jacob, when did you get here? I didn't mean to pour the wine on you. Why did you suddenly burst in?"

Tina said, pretending to be guilty.

'Why did Jacob protect that girl when I tried to pour the wine on her? Was Jacob attracted to her?'

The thought made Tina glare at Emily with hatred again.

Emily, however, was unaware of Tina's glare. She simply put on Jacob's dinner jacket to cover the wet part on her chest.

'How dare she...

How dare she put on the jacket of the man I admire!

She didn't deserve it!'

"Jacob, why..." Tina was so angry that she almost rushed towards Emily to take away Jacob's jacket from her.

However, she couldn't do that, because of Jacob. Jacob stood firmly before Emily like a guardian.

"Tina, after all these years, you still have no class."

Jacob's words were harsh for a girl from a noble family. Tina had grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth and was the apple of her family members' eye. No one had ever before dared to say "no" to her, except Jacob.

Moreover, what Jacob had just said really hurt her self-esteem!

Tina stomped her foot on the ground, as the tears welled in her eyes. Driven mad with anger and sadness, she fell silent for a while before she finally said,"Jacob, I don't want to talk to you any more!"

"I'm glad to hear that," replied Jacob expressionlessly, like he couldn't be more relieved to hear her say that.

When Tina heard his words, her eyes were turning red with tears. However, just when she was going to say something, someone placed a big hand on her head and brushed her hair softly.

"Tina."

Tina turned around and saw her older brother Mark Tao. She threw herself into his arms at once, crying.

"Dear brother, they are ganging up against me..."

All the people around felt embarrassed by her lies,"Oh my lady, you were the one who was bullying that lady in the first place. And the lady didn't even shed a drop of tear!"

Mark, on the other hand, believed his sister unconditionally. With a gloomy look on his delicate face he asked, with a cold voice,"Mr. Jacob, a gentleman would never bully a girl."

Jacob was not intimidated by Mark at all. Actually Jacob didn't even look at Mark, instead, he just threw an one-liner at him,"You'd better teach your sister how to be a gentle lady first."

As he said it, he directly took Emily's hand and walked towards the exit, under the watchful eyes of the public.

Emily, however, was reluctant to follow him. She whispered,"What are you doing? I can't go with you. I came here with Jack, and he will be back soon."

Jacob's face darkened when he heard Jack's name,"Spare me the nonsense or I will kiss you in front of everybody."

"You...," Emily immediately shut her mouth and allowed herself to be dragged away by Jacob.

Everyone else at the banquet was utterly stunned by what they had just seen.

If they were not mistaken, that girl was Jack Gu's girlfriend, not Jacob Gu's. In what way did Jacob have anything to do with his nephew's girlfriend?

Moreover, from what they had just seen, it seemed like there must have been something secretive going on between Jacob and Emily, no doubt. Wow! Awesome news!

Devastated, Tina watched helplessly as Jacob and Emily both walked off, unwilling to accept defeat. She took a step, trying to catch up with them, but then she was pulled back by her brother.

"Let me go!"

"Calm down, my dear sister."

Mark comforted his sister and nodded to other guests,"Sorry for interrupting your evening."

No one had courage to disrespect Mark. The guests just exchanged pleasantries with him and then left gradually.

The banquet was brought to an end ahead of schedule by such a farce.

Embarrassed, Tina angrily punched her brother several times as she asked,"Why did you just let them go?"

'Because no one can stop Jacob if he wants to leave. If you had insisted on making problems for them, you would have regretted it.'NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Mark kept the truth to himself. The coldness in his face vanished as he tried to coax his sister in a soft tone,"It was my fault. I will make it up to you, okay? My dear sister."

"But that's not what I want!" Tina yelled out of frustration. Tears filled up her eyes once again when she remembered Jacob's words,"It was that girl's fault. How could Jacob say that I have no class..."

"That's nonsense."

"I don't care if it is nonsense or not. I will find a teacher to show me how to be a gentle lady. I will make Jacob like me!"

"Okay. Okay. Just do whatever you like." Mark consented without much deliberation. He knew his sister's temper very well. She never kept interest in anything for long time anyway.

Tina was satisfied because her brother allowed her to do whatever she wanted, while he lovingly stared at her, spoiling her.

Meanwhile, Jacob dragged Emily all the way to his car and threw her inside directly.

He started the engine without wasting another second there. Dazed, it took Emily a few minutes before she realized what was happening. So she screamed,"Stop the car, Jacob! Where are we going?"

Jacob's gaze was locked on to the road, as he casually ignored Emily's concern.

Emily was horrified. She did not want to spend another minute with Jacob after the scene he caused at the banquet. 'Who knows what other crazy shit he is going to pull!'

With that thought in her head, Emily made up her mind. The next second, she opened the door and jumped out of the car!

It was too late for Jacob to try and stop Emily. Before long he saw a lean figure vanish from the rearview mirror. His heart skipped a beat, as he pushed the brakes as hard as he could.

"Emily!"

Damn! He should have locked the door!

Due to force of inertia, Emily cuddled up and rolled between the wheels. When Jacob stepped out of the car and realized that a car behind his almost hit Emily, he was driven mad beyond reason.

He rushed as fast as he could towards Emily, while the shrieking horns beeped around him.

"What the fuck are you doing?"

Jacob cried out. The man's roar somewhat sobered Emily as she was gradually coming to her senses. The next moment she was carried and thrown into the car again by Jacob. Sitting in the passenger's seat, Emily was starting to get a little dizzy.

Jacob was furious at Emily. "I saved your life, not so you could trample yourself under a car so easily!"

'Damn it. Did she ever think what would happen if she got hit by a car?'
