Chapter 127 I Think It Is Worth It, And Then It Is Worth It. (1/2)
Sam swallowed unconsciously, then he continued to speak,”Miss Emily was caught as well, but she was saved before the worst could happen. She saw the suspect raping the young girls. Luckily, when he turned to Miss Emily, the police arrived and handcuffed the raper before he could even touch her. Nevertheless, Miss Emily was still deeply scared.”
”Eventually the suspect was sentenced to death. Although Miss Emily did not get any real harm form this experience, there were many rumors at that time. People started talking, and soon Miss Emily's family had all the city's eyes on them. Since they were already upset by the whole trial process, being surrounded by all those rumors was not helping her mental condition at all, thus all her family moved to the Haicheng City.”
”For a very long time, the old memories of what happened where still haunting the poor girl. But despite all of the troubles, Miss Emily was still able to bury deep down the pain, and with time, she slowly forgot about it and gradually get back to her normal life.”

”How did Tina get the video?” He asked to Sam.
”The truth is that it was Miss Tina's brother who got it at first. He must have sent it to his sister short after. Now we already deleted the video from Miss Tina's mobile phone, but it is highly possible that there is still a backup copy in her brother's hands.”
”Well done, Sam.” Jacob's tone sounded a bit more relieved, but on his face there were still that layer of darkness. ”I will handle Mark myself. You will continue looking after Tina and Emily. If anything happens, tell me immediately.”
”Yes, Mr. Jacob.”
After Sam left, Jacob remained alone in the room, thinking at the scene in that video with clenched fists. He stayed there for some minutes with white knuckles and blood-thirsty eyes.
If he coul
ecute Emily now? How could she keep Emily away Jacob so that she could spend time with him alone?
