Chapter 70 Or Get Out Now

A few seconds later, there was in an uproar. Many employees of the LA company expressed their
anger and frustration.

"This is going too far!"

"Why is she being so unreasonable? Asking Miss Emily to kneel down is just asking for too much."

"Miss Emily, don't listen to her."

......

Tina cast a disdainful glance at them, as she raised her sharp chin and demanded, arrogantly,"Kneel
down!"

With her eye-brows furrowed and hands clenched tightly, Emily stood there in silence.

Emily was caught between a rock and a hard place, as she found it difficult to choose between the
reputation of the LA company and her own dignity.

"Emily, I am not the one who sells the fakes. If you don't kneel down and apologize, I will call the
police."

Tina took out her mobile phone and waved it at Emily and said,"Did you hear me? I don't have the
patience to wait for you any longer."

Tina was not putting on an act. No matter what Emily did, it was never good enough to satisfy her.

"Don't do this!"

Emily pleased hastily. She did not want to be the reason behind the LA company's downfall.



Tina looked at Emily snidely and counted,"One, two, three..."

But before she finished, Tina was interrupted by a deep and powerful voice.

"Will you dare to take the responsibility of Emily's knees?"

Puzzled, Tina turned around to see who it was. Much to her surprise, she saw the familiar face of a
man whose handsome charms had bewitched her mind, body and soul. "Jacob!"

Tina's eyes sparkled with joy at the sight of him, but that shine soon died out when she realized that he
had caught her red-handed in the act of doing something wrong.

"Jacob, what are you doing here?"

"That's what I was about to ask you." Jacob's eyes pierced through Tina with one cold look. Then he
looked at Emily and said,"Don't do it."

Looking at the man who had appeared out of nowhere, like a savior to her rescue, Emily's nerves
gradually calmed down. "Jacob. How..."

"Shut up!"

……

Tina observed the chemistry between them and grew envious of Emily,"Jacob, why do you want to
protect this woman? She... She is not a good person!"

Jacob turned his eyes to her and said,"What did you say?"

Tina thought he would like to listen to her. With puppy dog eyes, she complained,"Emily is responsible
for everything--- from design to production. Now that something has gone wrong, she must be held
responsible for it! Jacob, you'd better keep away from a woman who lacks moral fiber."



Tina was wishfully expecting for Jacob to push Emily away in disgust.

However, to her disappointment, Jacob did not meet her expectations.

"Oh." Jacob raised his lips and eyebrows as if he had just heard the world's most hilarious joke, and
looked at Tina sarcastically.

"Jacob, what she said isn't entirely true. Listen to me..." Emily was anxious to explain because she
didn't want Jacob to think of her as a liar.

Jacob suddenly took her hand and gently said,"Trust me."

Emily settled down to see what he wanted to do. Every time she needed him, he was there to her
rescue. It seemed like he had an innate superpower to solve everything.

Tina rolled her eyes at them. The sight of their hands joined together, angered her beyond reason.

"Do you mean..." Jacob opened his mouth and said in a cold voice,"My company sells fake goods?"

"What?" Tina's jaw dropped to the floor in disbelief. "Jacob, are you kidding me?"

'The LA company belongs to Jacob? That is impossible!'

Tina had not heard of it the whole time since she came back to Jingshi City!

Jacob had no interest in furthering nonsense with her, so he declared impatiently,"Tina, if you slander
the name of the LA company, you slander me too. If you insult Emily, you insult me too!"

Completely devastated, Tina stood there silently in shock. It took her a moment before she could
gather her thoughts. With pure resentment in her voice, she asked,"Why are you protecting her? She...
She is your nephew's girlfriend!"



As soon as the words left her mouth, there was in a sudden uproar among the staff members around
her.

Immediately, Emily pulled her hand back subconsciously, as if reality had just hit her in the back of her
head. Saddened by Emily's lack of courage, Jacob frowned and replied,"Tina, do you need me to tell
you what the possible charges of defamation are?"

"It is you..." Tina switched her attention to Emily so that she wouldn't have to confront Jacob,"She's the
one who sold those fakes to me!"

"Don't talk nonsense. Call the police now."

If Tina had called the police a while ago, the police would have inevitably stood on her side due to the
influence of Tao clan, but now that Jacob was there, the entire game had changed.

If two tigers fought each other, only one would emerge victorious.

Jacob showed no mercy to the Tao clan and to Tina, even though she was just a woman.

Tina's thoughts were all over the place. Due to firmness of Jacob's words, she hesitated,"Of course I
believe you, but I can't say I don't suspect Emily for what happened..."

If Jacob found out that she had deliberately made the fake set of jewelry to frame Emily... No, the truth
could never be allowed to surface.

There was no way in hell she could let Jacob find out the truth as it would mean the end of her pursuit.

"Call the police," Jacob stressed each word as he continued mockingly,"or get out now."

Baffled, Tina's eyes reddened, and her head was starting to spin. Any other person would be offended
by Jacob's words, let alone someone as conceited and arrogant as Tina. She couldn't stand being in



that situation.

"Jacob!"

"Get out!"

Tina was so angry that she stomped her feet on the ground in frustration. Having been utterly
humiliated in front of everybody, she stormed out of the company angrily.

A group of bodyguards that followed her in, soon followed her out and left.

All the employees, including Emily, breathed a sigh of relief. Emily watched as Tina's back slowly
disappeared when she whispered,"Jacob… Shouldn't you go after her?"

Emily was still under the impression that Tina was Jacob's fiancee, thus, she wanted him to go after
her.

Perhaps Jacob was never fond Tina, otherwise he would not have been so vicious.

"Why should I go after her?" Jacob raised his eyebrows out of curiosity.

"After all, she is..." Suddenly, sensing the strange looks she was getting around her, Emily stepped
back and kept a safe distance from the man in front of her.

Jacob understood her intentions. He frowned and called her to him. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing..."

"Come here!"

Ignoring the prying eyes of the people around them, Jacob took Emily and went inside his office.



The rest of the staff stood there, looking at each other, cluelessly. They needed a moment to process
what they had just witnessed. The fact that their boss, Jacob, was not afraid of the Tao clan, built up
their confidence.

Moreover, they were still trying to process the complex relationship between Jacob and Emily. Thanks
to Tina, they found out that Emily was the girlfriend of Jacob's nephew... Was Miss Emily the girlfriend
of Mr. Jack Gu?

Tsk, tsk, tsk, the relationship between the rich and famous was complicated and confusing.

There were a few female employees, who were jealous of Emily, assuming that she must have entered
the company through the backdoor. Moreover, even after such a big mix-up, she did not face any
penalties at all.
