Chapter 214 No One Loved Emily More Than He Did (2/2)

Abbott and Bess were distraught waiting for Emily. When the door was pushed open, they had their hearts in their mouth. However, they were surprised and disappointed to find that the person who walked in was Jacob.

”Well. It seems like you are disappointed to see me here,” Jacob said, walking towards the couple. With no emotion in his eyes, he first stared at the couple; then when he noticed Debby, who was cowering in the corner, silently, he chuckled.

Abbott and Bess were beyond disappointed, as they had expected to see their daughter, but now Jacob was standing in front of them, all by himself.

llow anyone to take her away from me!' he told himself.

Jacob's voice pierced the mind of Abbott and Bess. When they raised their heads and saw the coldness in Jacob's eyes, they felt the hair on their skin rise up.

'Jacob really is a tough nut to crack, ' thought Abbott.

The Tao couple wondered whether it was good or bad for Emily to be loved by Jacob. It seemed that Emily lived an enviable life with Jacob, but, if she ever displeased him accidentally, they feared she might be thrown into the abyss.

Nevertheless, Abbott would not give up the idea of taking Emily back home. Furthermore, he would do everything in his power to break up the relationship between Emily and Jacob!

At this moment, it was evident that the negotiations between him and Jacob had broken down.

Jacob had no intentions of staying in the room for another minute. He glared at Debby, who was still cowering with fear in the corner, as if he wanted to tear her to pieces with his cold gaze.

”And you,” he said to Debby, and added, ”You raised Emily. If not for that reason, I wouldn't have spared your life so easily!”

Immediately, Debby understood the real meaning of Jacob's words.

”I didn't mean to do it. Please forgive me,” Debby pleaded, lowering her head as she was afraid that Jacob would kill her if she looked at him directly.

Having lost all his patience with Debby, Jacob said, ”Get lost now. By the way, if you admire the Tao family so much, I suggest you beg them to adopt you. After all, they are eager to have another daughter.”

Jacob's words infuriated both Abbott and Bess, as their faces contorted with anger. Debby quickly stood up and walked towards the door. ”I will get lost at once, yes, at once,” she kept murmuring on her way out.
