Chapter 1475 A Tentative Question (2/2)
Jacob's words made Emily think to herself for a while. Deep in her heart, she agreed with what Jacob had just said. She stared deep into his eyes and her hatre
enuine. If the way he acted was his real personality, Emily would greatly admire a man like him.
She softly smiled at him and replied, ”You're a volunteer of our charity organization and my husband is somewhat responsible for your injuries. I feel like it's my duty to look after you.”
Upon hearing her words, Jonas looked gloomy for a second, but went back to his usual merry expression. He then placed the remaining half of the orange on the table.
Emily brought him a glass of water. She then asked Jonas with an indecisive tone, ”I heard from Jacob that there were no surveillance cameras around the area that the incident happened.”
”What?” Jonas quickly responded. He had a perceptive look on his face when he added, ”Is Jacob spouting nonsense to you again? Or is it because you don't believe what I told you?”
Emily shook her head in disagreement. She was afraid that her suspicions were going to be found out. She tried to clear things up. However, Jonas talked before she could even say start.
He spoke with a sincere and gentle smile on his face. ”It's fine. I understand that he's your husband and you're more likely to side with him. After all, if you didn't believe him, he would seem like a completely useless man. However, the bruises on my body tell you what really happened. I guess it's my fault for underestimating the ones who did this to me. After all, I honestly thought I had the upper hand. But I was outnumbered and couldn't really do much about it.”
Jonas displayed an honest and somewhat blissful smile which made it hard for Emily to find fault in the man. But in the end, she was still prone to believe Jacob from the bottom of her heart.
She couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh at what had just happened. It seemed that her trip there was useless since Jonas was so good at reading a person's thoughts. Jonas was fully aware that Emily might suspect him of foul play. That was why he kept his composure and simply responded in a normal way. What he said was half-true and half-false, in an attempt to confuse Emily based on what she knew of the situation.
