Chapter 756 Why Should I Help You (1/2)

It was clearly a surprise when Ray found out that Emily was Jacob's wife and the mother to his two children.

As he recalled, he seemed to have met one of their children, Beryl.

”This is my own business. It's useless to keep mentioning President Gu.” Emily's teeth tightened but she put on a smile as she replied.

It wasn't news to her that Ray had mistaken her for a woman that had to rely on a man to succeed, but it didn't matter because she and Jacob were already husband and wife—it was fair enough for her to do so.

”You can't find him…so I'm the more convenient choice, right?” Ray's chuckle was cold—he thought of Emily as nothing more than childish and pitiful.

What kind of person was Jacob? That man was the one who basically had a hold on all the forces of nature in Jingshi City. As a popular star, how could he be more helpful than Jacob? Emily was too stupid.

As he spoke, Ray glanced at Emily's dress for the day, making sure to twist his expression into one of complete dislike, harshly commenting on it as he raised his head and arrogantly brushed his hair back.

”That's ugly.”

The business outfit set Emily wore was too mature to match her childish face.

Still, the frank comment left her speechless.

Looking down at her outfit, she didn't think that there was anything really wrong with it.

Remembering that she came to cooperate with Ray, she restrained her anger and put on a smile for the boy. ”Thank you for the compliment.”

'What a ridiculous woman? She has the nerve to smile even when criticized as ugly!' Staring at Emily's blossoming smile, in contrast to his cold eyes, Ray narrowed his glare at her—his handsome face turned dark.

”Since this is all related to Miss Dina, of course, it would make more sense to go to you instead of Jacob.” Because Ray remained unresponsive, Emily continued to explain her intentions.

It was clear that Jacob could help her, but their relationship was rather sensitive. Since she and Vivian competed against each other for a while already, it wasn't necessary to make anyone think that she relied on her husband's power to gain honor—she wanted to win the competition completely on her own ability.
