Chapter 1358 Jacob Was Poisoned (2/2)

She directed her question to Jacob.

Emily began to worry. She was afraid that her rash action had placed Jacob in danger.

And, truthfully, he was in great danger now.

Jacob nodded weakly. He had been poisoned, but he didn't want Emily to worry about him, so he tried his best to sound nonchalant as he

all. Instead, she raised her lips, smiling. ”You mean that Jacob wanted your body?”

Seeing that she was being quite ineffective against Emily, and hearing what she had said, Lilian tried a different tack, shaking her head repeatedly. ”I...I didn't mean that!”

”Take it easy. I just came to see if the new job is suitable for your skills. I didn't expect that you would look after these beautiful flowers so well. Therefore, you will be in charge of this job for the time being!” Emily instructed, patting Lilian on her shoulder. ”Make sure to do the job well!”

”Thanks for your encouragement, Mrs. Gu. I will not disappoint you.”

Without another word, Emily led Taylor back to the room, asked the butler to unlock the maid's dormitory, and took her phone out to call the police.

Jacob had been poisoned, and she wanted to see who would dare to pull the wool over Jacob's eyes.

”Yvonne...” Taylor instinctively called Emily by her former name. Emily briefly looked at her, while she continued flipping through the interfaces on her mobile phone. Afterwards, she turned back and looked at Taylor in confusion.

”Now that Jacob is in the hospital, if you call the police and let them search the villa for the poison and the culprit, would...” After thinking for a moment, Taylor continued, ”Would you not alert the enemy?”

Taylor knew that Jacob had recently been engaged in a massive man-hunt for Darren so that he might be arrested, and that Darren had gone to ground, not leaving a trace to be found. Jacob had discovered where Darren had been laying low several times, but when he and his men had gone to arrest him, Darren had always seemed to be one step ahead of them.

Due to this, Jacob had even begun suspecting that Darren had planted a spy among his or Chuck's men.

This had necessitated that he implemented the arrest plan in secret.
