Chapter 323 She Was Not Emily. (1/2)

Jennifer looked embarrassed, then she said, ”Mr. Gu, what do you mean?”

Jacob looked at her coldly, ”Did you send someone to block me from looking into Lu Jewelry?”

”Mr. Gu, I...” Jennifer knew she was already caught and the only thing she could do now was to admit it, ”Jacob, I'm doing this for your own good. I just want you to be able to move on. You're still trapped…”

Jacob cut her off, ”She isn't just my past!”

”Okay, even if that's the case!” Jennifer said bitterly, ”That woman just looks like Emily but she's not Emily.”

”As if you know better than I do. Why? Have you seen her yet?”

”No, I haven't...” Jennifer lied.

”Then it's up to me to decide whether it's Emily or not,” Jacob stood up looking absolutely ruthless. Then he spoke, ”Jennifer, this is the last time you're going to meddle with my affairs. If this happens again, I'll show you no mercy.”

Jennifer shrunk at this vision of Jacob - she grew pale and pursed her lips.

”Get out!” Jacob said without even looking at her.

Jennifer hurried out of his office like a little mouse.

Throughout the years, Jacob had done nothing but crush her pride, her self-esteem, and whatever little dignity she had left.

That morning, Emily was able to go to work on time.

It was cool outside much to Beryl's delight.

After her class, Beryl's baby sitter took her out for a walk because Emily always said that it was good for her to get some fresh air every once in a while.

As soon as they stepped outside, Beryl kept looking around as if she was looking for something.

”Beryl, what are you looking for?” her baby sitter asked, a bit surprised and a bit curious.
