Chapter 1090 Leave This Place With Mommy (1/2)
On the other end of the line, Darren tapped the phone screen with his fingertips. He narrowed his dark eyes, and a particular interest became focused in them. A crafty look flashed over his face. Suddenly, he smiled, but his lips lacked any warmth; instead, they were twisted with cunning.
The phone screen lit up with the picture. Darren seemed to see Jacob's desperation through the stolen likeness. Jacob seemed to be a poor, mindless puppet totally under his control.
He moved his thin lips. Stressing each syllable, he said with a pitiless cruelty, ”Jacob, our game has finally begun!”
The doctor's report broke the last hope for life in Emily, like a balloon popping when it got too close to the sun. Meanwhile, the news about Emily visiting a doctor started to spread all over the Internet and social media.
Just a day later, Emily's sickness became the top story on the Internet.

Jacob gnashed his teeth. Suddenly, he swung his arms and violently swept everything on the desk to the floor. The tea sets on this desk smashed into thousands of pieces like confetti. He narrowed his dark eyes.

It seemed that Jacob and Emily…

”Did you find the source of the photos? Who posted it in the first place?”
Jacob's dark eyes twinkled with a cold and sharp light. His predatory expression gave Sam a tight feeling in the chest. His voice was cold, and he sounded dangerous.
”Not yet. I still need a little more time. But, I think that Miss Michelle has something to do with it...”
Sam hesitated for a moment to wait for Jacob's response. After seeing Jacob's calm and stony face, he continued, ”We found Michelle's computer's IP address in all of the top posts. It seems she has been leading the public opinion. None of her respondents are talking on Miss Emily's behalf.”
