Chapter 8 How Dare You Hurt Her (2/2)

She slipped when she tried to back away from him, in shock. Before she fell to the floor, Leo caught her hand quickly; he tightened her hand firmly.

”Don't run, sweetheart. As long as you make me happy, I promise that you will be one of the top-three designers.” Leo pulled her hand with a lustful look of desire burning in his eyes.

”Judge Leo! Please behave yourself!” Emily tried to push his hands away, but it was not working. She could only look at him angrily and helplessly.

”Behave myself? You are the one who left me a note in my room, as an invitation. It was you who begged me to sleep with you!”

”No, I didn't! I did not write you any note!” Emily refuted angrily. She knew that there must have been a misunderstanding!

”Stop it! I can make you a superstar. Don't play hard to get with me!”

Leo was losing his patience little by little. He tightened his grip on her hands. Finally, he grabbed her by the arms.

Emily struggled, but somehow managed to free her other hand to slap Leo across the face. The sound of the slap was as loud as a thunder crack.

”Bitch! How dare you hit me!” Leo was so furious, his eyes looked like they were ready to explode; the fat on his face shook as if it were boiling in pure rage. ”I will teach you a lesson today!”

A look of anger replaced the look of embarrassment on Emily's face. She was going to apply the same tactic she had used to deal with Jack. At that moment, she heard a snapping sound come from behind Leo. Someone outside had kicked the door in!

”Who the fuck?” Leo cursed with fury. Before he could look back to see who it was, he was knocked over by a powerful force before he even realized it.

”Fuck you...” When Leo saw the man's face clearly, his own facial expression changed drastically. ”Mr. Jacob...what are you doing here?”

Jacob glanced at Emily and then looked at the man on the floor. Fires of fury and hatred smouldered in the corners of his eyes, as if a raging storm was coming to exact divine judgment.

”How dare you touch her?”

The coldness of his voice as well as his wording frightened Emily, who looked as pale as a porcelain doll. She feared that now everyone was going to find out about the ridiculous affair between Jacob and her.

Leo wasn't looking very well either. There were tiny pods of sweat forming on his forehead. Yet, he did not forget to attribute the responsibility to Emily, ”Mr. Jacob, this... this woman seduced me first...”

Jacob didn't even let him finish his sentence. He knocked him on the ground and kept on kicking him until Leo started to scream for help.

Deep in his heart, he had already regarded Emily as his woman. How could he tolerate another man's hands on her! The last person to lay hands on her was his nephew, Jack; he couldn't just kill his nephew like that. As for the pathetic man, squirming on the floor in from of him, he did not care!

”Mr. Jacob, please, stop...” Leo cast aside his dignity and self-respect. He fell at Jacob's feet and begged for mercy, only to be kicked in the face again.

Emily was like a stunned spectator; she stood there terrified and motionless. She had never witnessed such brutality before; he was like a wild beast.

”Mr... Mr. Jacob...”

”You feel sympathy for him?” Jacob narrowed his cold eyes, glancing at her. His apathetic glare cut through her soul like a hot knife through butter.

Emily swallowed hard and pleaded nervously, ”No, no, Mr. Jacob, you might kill him...and it's against the law to kill people...”

Jacob stopped for a moment to let out a grim laughter.

Just when Leo started relaxing because he thought he was going to be forgiven, Jacob's expensive shoe stepped on his fat hand and crushed it hard.
