Chapter 1249 Jacob Showed Up (1/2)

The next day, the much anticipated launch of the company Love and Dream was held as scheduled. It was supposed to kick off at half past two in the afternoon. But by two o'clock, the venue was already packed to its capacity by a wide range of audience.

In preparation, Emily had set out from the hospital very early that morning. Accompanied by Rita, she had secured the services of a makeup artist to apply concealing make-up for her to hide the signs of fatigue and strain. With the fresh new look, she appeared a little more lively.

Wanting to support her, Rita, David, Louis, and Hunk remained behind the scenes. They were constantly gushing over her and cheering her on.

”Yvonne, please rest assured. With Jacob having said that he will deal with the matter, he will definitely get it settled,” Louis said as he frowned. ”All of our hopes rest on him. If he dares to let us down, I'll beat him black and blue!”

Although he spoke in an angry tone, he was in reality much more worried. So far, no one had been able to determine Jacob's whereabouts. Even Louis hadn't found any clue to Jacob's location. It was as if the earth had opened up and swallowed Jacob whole!

But he knew that Jacob had always shown a sense of propriety. Since he had decided to vanish, he must have a good reason for it. Surely, Jacob had an ace up his sleeve.

But when Louis looked up again, he saw that Emily was staring at him. He felt his chest tighten in dread then, and he immediately smiled awkwardly. ”Well... I was just kidding, of course.”

It was only then that Emily stopped glaring at Louis.

The launch event was about to begin, but the new designs were still incomplete. Although Emily was rather anxious, she had no other choice now but to carry on.

As soon as Emily walked out onto the stage, all the reporters began snapping photos. All the seats of the venue had been filled. Emily knew that apart from all the people present at the venue of this launch event, there were still thousands of others who were watching the live broadcast of the launch through the internet and local TV networks. Everyone's attention was focused on her now.

In particular, those who didn't wish her life to be smooth would be fixating their gazes on her.
