Chapter 355 The Cruel Woman (2/2)
At last, Emily hung up the phone. She paused to close her eyes and take a deep breath, entombing her memories of him in thick walled ice. Her lungs struggled for breath against ribs of stone and her heart was shattered into tiny pieces.
Did she do the right thing? At this moment she wasn't so certain about the answer.
……
At the hospital in Jingshi City, Jacob gripped his cell phone so tightly that all his fingers turned pale. His black eyes lost their luster, as if he was being dragged into the depths of despair again.
'Forget the past? That's impossible. I can ne
atrist to fetch Jacob's medicines, quietly hid in the veranda and dialed a number on his phone. ”I have switched his medicines. So when can I get the reward that you promised me? Give it to me quick...”
The thick dark clouds in the sky slowly masked the moon, and the dim light of night completely disappeared. All the dirty deeds were hidden in the darkness, far from the knowledge and reaches of anyone.

The next morning, the front page of the network news was occupied by a title — ”President Jacob's Secret Marriage and Daughter”. When the people clicked on this link, a picture of Jacob and Beryl popped up on their screens. Although Beryl's face was not clear in the picture, everyone acknowledged the existence of Jacob's supposed daughter.
The picture showed Jacob and Beryl sitting face to face, as he reached out to wipe her face with his handkerchief. The way he looked at her with soft, loving eyes, clearly indicated signs of intimacy between them. There was no denying that he looked like a good father in the picture.
This news report stirred up intense debate among the people and brought up a deluge of criticism.
”That is impossible! My idol could not possibly have gotten married in secret! This little girl must not be his daughter. This news report is absolutely nonsense! I thought Mr. Jacob was still in love with Emily!”
”I think it could be true. To be honest, I want to be President Jacob's daughter! She must be very happy.”
”This little girl looks like she's three or four years old! I still remember that Emily died four years ago. In other words, the little girl must have been born shortly after Emily's death. Such a playboy! Jacob, you don't deserve Emily's love.”
”Your accusations are baseless. Emily had already passed on, so why couldn't Jacob look for love again? You want him to be lonely for the rest of his life? You are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Jacob didn't have an immoral love affair. We are not qualified to scold him.”
