A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 261

Everything happened so fast that no one had the chance to say anything.

Jack was completely stunned and he couldn't move at all. All he could do was staring at Jacob, thinking that he would be dead at any second now.

But nothing happened.

This gun had an empty magazine.

Jack took a sound breath and wiped out the sweat from his forehead. Jacob instead threw the gun on the floor with all his might.

Arthur was surprisingly calm and composed. He bent down and picked up the gun. "You promised Mr. Gu. Let's not get into any trouble, shall we?" he said, in a plain and clear voice.

Jacob didn't reply, his eyes fixed on Jack. Yet Jack thought he was not out of danger after all, for those eyes were not only sharp as knives but also evil.

Arthur stayed in between the two rivals and made sure to calm them down. Then he left with his men without saying another word. There were no other words needed.

As they left, Jack fell on his knees with frustration and despair. He knew what Arthur meant when he said that Jacob had promised something.

Jacob had a secret deal with Mr. Gu, that until now he knew nothing about. All this time they had fooled him.

Mr. Gu lied, never treated him properly from the very beginning!

"Boom!" Jack smashed the wall using his bare fists.

"Why?!" He shouted. 'Why is always Jacob that takes all? Every single time is the same! That's not fair!' Jack angrily thought.

Jacob turned around and sneered at him, "Why? Because I can. You instead, you worth nothing. Jack, you are not even qualified. You and all your little tricks. Do you think anyone will ever care?"

'I am not qualified? Little tricks?'

Jack was hit by Jacob's words like a bullet, "So what? You are not telling me that you are qualified, right?" Jack sneered back.

Jacob looked at him with pity, "I should have killed you."

'Emily and I... we would be happy now if it wasn't for this junk. Now he ruined everything!

I would kill you. I really would if I didn't promise Mr. Gu. But I know that even death is not enough for you!

I need to calm down. Africa is waiting for him. He will have plenty of time to live in that burning hell.' Jacob told himself.

"Believe it or not, between me and Emily... nothing has happened" He wouldn't tell Jacob the truth, but he changed his mind.

He could not compete with Jacob because he was too strong and powerful. So, the only reasonable thing to do was to tell the truth.

Jacob had obviously found out that Jack slept with Emily while he was away, but that was a big fat lie because Jack didn't do anything to Emily. However, Jacob and Emily had no idea, and now that Jack was going to be driven out of this city, he decided to tell the truth for Emily's sake.

As a matter of fact, Jack initially thought that if Jacob thought that Emily cheated on him, he would break up with her. So He used this rumor to sabotage their relationship. When Jacob finally broke with her, he tried to fit in Emily's bed.

But things hadn't been as planned. Despite Jacob believed that Emily had betrayed him, he returned.

Jack had underestimated Jacob's feelings for Emily, and this mistake cost him Emily once and for all.

"Do you think I will believe you?" Jacob yelled back. Jacob kicked him so hard on the ribcage that Jack should consider himself lucky to still be alive. Then he fell to the ground, writhing with pain.

"The photo is real, but we did nothing together. I don't care if you believe it or not, but that's the truth." Jack raised his voice as much as he could and tried to stand up. But Jacob kicked him again to the floor.
