Chapter 604 Are You Afraid Of Me (2/2)

Shut out, Jennifer stomped her feet on the ground angrily and said to her men, ”Let's go! We're wasting our time.”

The mere thought of falling to her knees in front of Jacob and Emily, begging for mercy, was enough to give her a nervous brea

sense of resentment, as though she would drown if she did nothing to vent it.

Jacob had utterly dismembered her pride and dignity. This humiliation would haunt her for the rest of her life.

Inside the mansion, Emily stood at the window in silence, looking at the woman kneeling in front of the door.

Jacob lifted his hand and started twirling a strand of her fragrant hair between his fingers. He followed her sight and cast a cold glance at Jennifer. ”What's up? Are you feeling bad for her?”

Emily shook her head and then answered, ”No.”

She would rather die than sympathize with Jennifer. Everyone should bear the consequences of their actions. It was a price everyone had to pay.

Moreover, she knew that Jennifer had something to do with what had happened to her at the banquet. That day she had been knocked out of her senses and kidnapped. Perhaps Jennifer was the person responsible for it all.

This malicious snake of a woman did not deserve Emily's sympathy. Emily was just wondering what Jacob's purpose was for shaming Jennifer. Did he do that to impress Emily?

Was he taking revenge on Jennifer for what she had done to Emily? Or was Emily just wishfully flattering herself?

Have noticed her pensive look, Jacob poked her cheek with his thin finger and asked, ”What are you thinking about?”

Immediately, Emily came back to herself. She peered deep into the man's dark eyes and whispered, ”I'm thinking about you. Why are you acting so strange today? Don't you...” 'Don't you hate me now?'

Emily finished the rest of her words in her heart because she was afraid that the truth might be too hard for her to accept. So she decided to stop questioning him.

Instead of giving her an answer, Jacob gazed at her for a moment before he suddenly moved a step closer towards her.

Emily subconsciously stepped back and murmured, ”You...”

Jacob stretched out his long arms and wrapped it around Emily's thin waist. Before she knew it, he pressed her to his bosom. Then he lowered his head and whispered in her ears, ”Are you afraid of me?”
