Chapter 1036 Emily’s Efforts Came To Naught (1/2)

With both hands gripping the steering wheel, Emily quietly looked at the photo on the seat beside her. Her eyes were filled with hesitation as she whispered to herself, ”What if he doesn't believe me?”

The recent events in her life had made her clearly understand how Jacob felt about her. Not only did Jacob treat her as a stranger now, but he also openly showed his hate towards her. No wonder she was feeling conflicted at the moment.

Since Jacob hated her, everything she did was wrong in his eyes, let alone mentioning the fire that had badly hurt him.

After she had driven half the way to Jacob's office, Emily stopped by the side of the road and sighed. Then, she closed her eyes as she tried to calm her mind filled with confusing thoughts. A few minutes passed before she started the engine again.

He had heard that Jacob and Emily were once deeply in love with each other, but Jacob's moodiness made him wonder what he was thinking. He thought that it was best to tell Jacob about matters involving Emily and let him decide what to do.

”Well, I see. Let's go and meet her,”

Jacob replied flatly as he furrowed his brows. Under his drooping, long eyelashes, there was a pair of deep, shining eyes resembling cool black crystals. With his eyes slightly narrowed, he stood up calmly to exit his office.

He had scarcely stood up when he hesitated for a moment.

His hesitation only lasted for a few seconds, but it was clearly seen by the assistant following him.

The assistant felt that it was right to
