Chapter 744 If Not She, Then Who Else (1/2)

Emily sensed Joyce's anxiety and worry over the phone, so she asked Jacob to take her back to the company immediately.

The black streamlined Maybach flashed through the highway traffic and stopped at the SL Jewelry Building. Emily opened the door hastily and bid goodbye to Jacob without even looking at him. Then she stepped out from the car and headed into the company on her new high heels.

”Wait for... me...”
