Chapter 619 The Evil In The Darkness (1/2)

Puzzled, Emily was taken aback, but she snickered. ”If it doesn't have to be me, then why did you threaten me with Jacob? You know the reason, don't you?”

”The reason?” Sean repeated her words with a little confusion, ”Have you made up your mind already?”

”Only if you keep your word and don't harm Jacob,” said Emily.

”I have no grudge against him. All I want is you. If you leave him, I'll have no reason to hurt him.”

”Deal.” After hanging up the call, Emily realized she was drenched in her own sweat, nervous and anxious.

She opened the picture Sean had send her and softly rubbed the face of the handsome man on her screen. The love of her life, Jacob.

In her intense silence Emily was totally panicked.

She thought she could stand up to anything life had to throw at her.

But when she knew that Jacob's life was in Sean's hand, she realized how helpless she really was.

Did she really have to be Sean's puppet to save Jacob?

After everything she had done to maintain her relationship with Jacob...

Jacob was the love of her life.

How could she sit by and leave him in danger.

Emily came up with a decision immediately. She waited in the room till dawn and when the time came, she took Beryl out without showing looking odd or suspicious.

The dutiful bodyguards followed her, just as they were supposed to.

Meanwhile, David and Rita just returned from their trip abroad. Emily took Beryl to stay with the Xu family. She didn't spend too long catching up with her friends because she was too preoccupied with Jacob.
