Chapter 596 Nothing in the World Could Save Her (1/2)

Jacob finally let go of Emily after all pictures were burnt to ashes and the fire had died out. All that remained was a faint glow of embers.

The well of Emily's tears had run dry but the silence of her cry was far worse than a tantrum or a scream. She gathered the ashes of whatever she could salvage.

Jacob watched her from a close distance, feeling extremely annoyed by her melodramatic display and said, ”What's the point of collecting ashes? Look at your dirty hands!”

”Who cares? I am already a dirty woman in your eyes,” Emily murmured as she picked up all the ashes from the floor.

Jacob's eyes became dark with disappointment and he said, ”You're right. Not many women could hide another man in their room and get away with it like you did.”

Emily cast a scornful glimpse at Jacob, masking her shock with anger. ”I don't know what you are talking about.”

”Well, then I suggest you ask your lover how he felt after watching our show just now.” Jacob grinned arrogantly.

”You did that on purpose?” Emily's mouth was like a cave as she stood dumbfounded.

Emily bit her lip tight as she finally understood why Jacob had been behaving like that just now.

'Jacob, is this your new-found way of humiliating me and dragging me to the mud in front of people?' she sighed in disappointment.

Emily bit down so hard she left teeth marks on her lips. Jacob felt angrier because Emily tried to lie to him so he said, ”So what if I did that on purpose? As long as you stay in this villa, you must follow each and every single one of my rules. You must do as I say!”

Jacob was certain that Emily would never leave so he had her trapped in his webs.

No matter what he did, or what he would do, Emily would never leave him.

If there was anything Jacob was certain of in his entire life it was this fact, even though he did not know why. Jacob felt as though Emily was just a stone in his hand. As long as he did not throw it away, the stone wasn't going to go anywhere.

”Fine. Got it,” she said. Emily clenched the ashes in her hand and lowered her head to hide the sorrow in her eyes. ”So may I go to sleep now, Mr. Jacob?”

Jacob's eyes widened and he yelled at her, ”Throw away those ashes and get your hands cleaned, now!”

Emily clenched her teeth and eventually threw the ashes into the trash bin.
