A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 289 Beautiful Clothes

Sam looked at Jacob again who looked particularly vicious at that moment as if he was ready to kill anyone.

"Sir, calm down..." Sam, obviously afraid of Jacob, suggested, "Maybe, Miss Emily just misplaced her ATM card? Or maybe..."

"I'm calm. Stop talking." Jacob's face was cold and ruthless. But in his eyes it showed just how much tension and panic he was really feeling.

Emily, Emily, Emily!

Time and again, he whispered Emily's name in his heart, as if by doing so, he could feel at ease. "Find the man who withdrew the money right now!" Jacob ordered.

Sam was able to find the man right away. He was in an orphanage in A City. As soon as they found out about it, he and Jacob went there right away.

As soon as Jacob's group stepped into the shabby orphanage, children scattered like leaves. They were looking at the group in fear and in curiosity.

Jacob already had a guess what was going on so he asked to talk to the president right away.

As what he had suspected, it was the president who withdrew the money.

Jacob glared at the man, "Who gave you the card?"

The president was skeptical of them because they all seemed so hostile, so he was on his guard the whole time. First, he asked that the children should go inside then he asked politely, "Sir, what are you doing here?"

Jacob grabbed him by his collar and asked angrily, "I'm going to ask you again. Who gave you the bank card?"

"Forgive me, sir. I can't tell you." The way the president saw it - Jacob was bad and Emily had just donated a large sum of money to the orphanage. She was a good person so he would never sell her out.

Jacob narrowed his eyes and put his hands around the president's neck, "Tell me!" he bellowed.

When Sam saw this, the look on his face changed. He pulled Jacob off the president and asked him, "Sir, was it a lady who gave you the bank card? Because if so, then he's her husband. They fought before she ran away..."

The president glanced at Sam then at Jacob then at the entire group. He didn't have a good feeling about them so he pressed on, "Really? Doesn't seem that way. It seems like you just want to hurt people or get revenge."

"How do you say so?" Sam said as he loosened Jacob's hand that was wrapped around the president's neck. Sam explained, "Well, our master," he gestures towards Jacob, "has been very stressed recently. He hasn't slept for several days because well, his wife was missing. He's been so worried about her. And to add to that, she's pregnant now and we just want her to be safe. The only thing she had with her was her bank card and if she gave that to you then we're worried sick wondering how she's surviving now..."

The president was shocked at this.

Emily had actually donated all her money to the orphanage, then what should she do now? He had no idea because if he had then he wouldn't have accepted the donation in the first place.

"Our master isn't in the right frame of mind and he might have intimidated you or offended you...I sincerely apologize to you for him." Sam glanced at Jacob instinctively as he spoke and found that his face was stoic all throughout. Sam sighed in relief as he continued, "So I hope you can tell us where she is because we just want her to be safe."

The president was convinced with Sam's sincere explanation. He said, "Yes, this was given to me by that nice lady. Her family name is..."

"Her family name is Bai." Jacob opened his mouth, his tone somehow anxious, "Her name is Emily Bai."

"Yes, it is." The president nodded, "She gave me the card 2 days ago and just told me how much she was going to donate then she left."

"Where did she go?"

"Sorry, I don't know either."

Jacob tightened his thin lips and frowned. Sam then asked, "Did she mention any places?"

The president thought it over carefully for a while and then said, "She might have mentioned that the weather in the south was wet and warm... Uh, does that count?"

The south... Something glinted in Jacob's eyes. He suddenly looked solemn, "Where's the card?"

"It's with me,"

the president sighed as he took out the card. In an apologetic tone, he said, "I'm sorry. I didn't know this was all she had... I withdrew 100 thousand and bought a quilt for each child here. I'll try to give back the money..."

"There's no need," Jacob said as he took the card and gripped it tightly. He turned to Sam, "Set a budget for them when you get back."

"Yes, sir," Sam responded respectfully. After a few more exchanges with the president, Sam followed Jacob out of the orphanage.

The south was such a large area. Where should they start looking for her?

But to have a vague clue was better than to have no clue at all.

Just this afternoon, David just sent the latest season of designers' collections to the luxury villa where Rita lived. He was going to see his son and have lunch - it was so good to think about.

Unfortunately, reality bit.

The clothes was accepted but David was sent out right away. He softly knocked on the door so as not to wake his son up. "Rita, what do you mean? Open the door!" David said.

After a while, Rita slowly opened a crack in the door and said, "What do you want?"

David was a bit frightened when he saw the look on Rita's face. He lowered his voice, "Open the door for me."

"Why did you come here today?"

"To send you beautiful clothes."

"The clothes are already here, and you can leave now," Rita spoke so confidently. David was becoming more and more disgusted.

When he saw that Rita was about to close the door again, he reached out his hand to stop it, "I'm not just here to deliver clothes. I also came here to see you..."

When he said the last words of his sentence, he lowered his voice and his ears turned a little red.

Rita narrowed her eyes and pretended not to hear, "What did you say?"

David wetted his lips and looked up at Rita's eyes. He felt a little embarrassed. "... I came to see you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rita opened the door wide.

David's face brightened. Rita turned in front of him. David was confused, "What..."

Before he even had time to ask her what she was doing. Rita said coldly, "You've already given me the clothes, and you've seen me. What else? No? Great."

After that, she slammed the door. Bang!

David stood there - shocked and unable to speak.

How could this be? He didn't expect this at all.
