Chapter 454 She Wasnt A Kid (2/2)
Jack protectively guided her to their seats as the movie began.
She was holding a bucket of popcorn, while he whispered to her in a soft tone, ”Emily, do you remember we used to go to the movies when we were in college? Back then...”
Before he could reminisce about the past, Emily interrupted him directly, ”I don't remember.”
The smile froze on his face. ”It doesn't matter. I could tell you all about it...”
However, she refused to listen to his nonsense, ”Just stop talking. You are getting in the way of my seeing the movie.
fter hearing his banter, Emily could not help but look at him speculatively for a few more seconds. After a long pause, she spoke, ”Stop it already. Aren't those the people you called over?”
He was astounded by her keen powers of observation, while his eyes sparkled out of guilt, ”Emily, what are you talking about... How could they possibly be the people I called?”
She was speechless, and could not understand how the man's brain worked. ”All the humiliations I have experienced, do you really want to try them out one by one? Don't forget this. I was not only smashed by eggs, but also splashed with sulfuric acid. Would you like to try that one out?”
”Emily...” Jack didn't know what to say to defend himself. He really wanted to go back to the past and punish whoever had insulted Emily and get them arrested. How he wished he could let those people pay for their sins!
But he neglected to acknowledge that he was the person who had insulted Emily the most.
Emily couldn't be blamed for seeing the truth so easily. The actors were too careless, for they just broke the egg over them, which was such a harmless thing. Besides, she also knew that the outside world constantly viewed her relationship with Jack. The hearsay was much more nasty than what the actors just scolded them with...
Finally, he had always been so penny-pinched and narrow-minded. There was no way for him to suffer such a humiliation without any of the surrounding people getting caught in the cross fire. Unless he planned it all!
Did he really see her as a three-year-old kid to be manipulated?
