A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 261 An Outcast

Everything happened so fast that no one had the chance to say anything.

Jack was completely stunned and he couldn't move at all. All he could do was staring at Jacob, thinking that he would be dead at any second now.

But nothing happened.

This gun had an empty magazine.

Jack took a sound breath and wiped out the sweat from his forehead. Jacob instead threw the gun on the floor with all his might.

Arthur was surprisingly calm and composed. He bent down and picked up the gun. "You promised Mr. Gu. Let's not get into any trouble, shall we?" he said, in a plain and clear voice.

Jacob didn't reply, his eyes fixed on Jack. Yet Jack thought he was not out of danger after all, for those eyes were not only sharp as knives but also evil.

Arthur stayed in between the two rivals and made sure to calm them down. Then he left with his men without saying another word. There were no other words needed.

As they left, Jack fell on his knees with frustration and despair. He knew what Arthur meant when he said that Jacob had promised something.

Jacob had a secret deal with Mr. Gu, that until now he knew nothing about. All this time they had fooled him.

Mr. Gu lied, never treated him properly from the very beginning!

"Boom!" Jack smashed the wall using his bare fists.

"Why?!" He shouted. 'Why is always Jacob that takes all? Every single time is the same! That's not fair!' Jack angrily thought.

Jacob turned around and sneered at him, "Why? Because I can. You instead, you worth nothing. Jack, you are not even qualified. You and all your little tricks. Do you think anyone will ever care?"

'I am not qualified? Little tricks?'

Jack was hit by Jacob's words like a bullet, "So what? You are not telling me that you are qualified, right?" Jack sneered back.

Jacob looked at him with pity, "I should have killed you."

'Emily and I... we would be happy now if it wasn't for this junk. Now he ruined everything!

I would kill you. I really would if I didn't promise Mr. Gu. But I know that even death is not enough for you!

I need to calm down. Africa is waiting for him. He will have plenty of time to live in that burning hell.' Jacob told himself. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Believe it or not, between me and Emily... nothing has happened" He wouldn't tell Jacob the truth, but he changed his mind.

He could not compete with Jacob because he was too strong and powerful. So, the only reasonable thing to do was to tell the truth.

Jacob had obviously found out that Jack slept with Emily while he was away, but that was a big fat lie because Jack didn't do anything to Emily. However, Jacob and Emily had no idea, and now that Jack was going to be driven out of this city, he decided to tell the truth for Emily's sake.

As a matter of fact, Jack initially thought that if Jacob thought that Emily cheated on him, he would break up with her. So He used this rumor to sabotage their relationship. When Jacob finally broke with her, he tried to fit in Emily's bed.

But things hadn't been as planned. Despite Jacob believed that Emily had betrayed him, he returned.

Jack had underestimated Jacob's feelings for Emily, and this mistake cost him Emily once and for all.

"Do you think I will believe you?" Jacob yelled back. Jacob kicked him so hard on the ribcage that Jack should consider himself lucky to still be alive. Then he fell to the ground, writhing with pain.

"The photo is real, but we did nothing together. I don't care if you believe it or not, but that's the truth." Jack raised his voice as much as he could and tried to stand up. But Jacob kicked him again to the floor.

"Are you worried for her? Do you think I will do something bad to her?" Jacob smiled. His expression reflected a mixture of pity and rage.

Jacob was right in some way. Jack was worried indeed.

"I hope you won't do something that you will regret for the rest of your life."

'Emily doesn't deserve any bad from you, ' but Jack didn't say this out loud.

Jack made a point. In fact, Jacob, regardless of his feelings for Emily, he would never look at her or treat her like he used to.

And Emily would suffer for this. She would blame herself and live in the shadow of this fake news forever.

It was the last thing that Jack ever wanted to happen to her.

Jacob looked down at Jack with pure hate. This dirty outcast had to pay. On his face appeared an evil smile, "You don't have to worry about her. You should worry about yourself." "Take him."

Jack closed his eyes. He realized how much he was sorry for Emily, for everything he had put her through. He apologized silently in his mind, but Emily would never heard his apology because she would never talk to him again and she would never want to.

...

Jingshi City Mental Hospital.

Someone was shouting the weirdest things. There was one shouting hysterically, "I want an umbrella! An Umbrella! I am a sweet little mushroom and I want my umbrella,"

"Let me tell you a secret. I am actually an alien from outer space, and I came here to be a spy…"

"What's so good about aliens? I was an emperor. I had thousands of wives…" Others were shouting, too.

Even a mentally sane person would be driven mad by all this nonsense.

"Let me out! I am not mad! Do you hear me? Open the fucking door! Or you shall wait and see!" Tina shouted, again and again, grasping the bars of her cell. Her eyes were red and wide open, scaring out every passerby with a horrifying expression.

"Shut up monster! Or you won't get your food today!" The nurses shouted back, annoyed while banging the door to warn her.

"What did you say? Did you call me a monster?" Tina screamed, "How dare you! You piece of junk!"

"Monster is the appropriate name for you. Do you ever look at yourself in the mirror?" One nurse replied.

"You bitch!" Tina put her arms through the bars with her nails scratching the nurse's face. 'I am no monster. No one can call me like that!'

The nurse yelled and some blood spilled out from those scratches.

"AArgh! You bitch! How dare you! It's time for you to learn something!" said the nurse. She opened the cell door and walked inside patting the large stick she was holding.

Tina stepped forward without any fear and stood in front of her. The contours of her face resembled no more those of a human. She eventually became really a monster.

The nurse was scared off and tried to step back, but Tina jumped forward and threw her to the floor.

"What are you doing?! Let go of me! Don't touch me!" The nurse was struggling to get Tina away from her.

"You called me a monster. Now let's see if you can also become one." Tina squeezed the words out of her teeth. Then she grasped the nurse's hair in her palms and with a sharp move, smashed her face on the floor.

"Damn it!" The nurse screamed in pain. Her face was covered in blood. The nurse covered her face with her palms and tried to stop the blood from flowing out, but in a few second her white collar turned red.

"Ew," Tina instead looked at the poor nurse with disgust.
