Chapter 79 Give Me Ten Million For Emotional Damages

Emily spoke out frankly,"Jacob, I know that you're already engaged to someone else. Could you please
stop pursuing me from now on? I don't want to be the third party, so please don't try to convince me
otherwise..."

She found it hard to resist and refuse someone who treated her so kindly.

"Fiancee?" Bemused by Emily's assertion, Jacob frowned and asked,"Who is my fiancee?"

When did he get engaged? Jacob couldn't understand where Emily could have gotten that bizarre idea.
Somebody must have lied to her!

"Tina..." Emily looked up and met his eyes, then she lowered her voice,"She told me that she is your
fiancee..."

"And you believed her?" asked Jacob, astounded. He was very unhappy with Tina's self-assertive
behavior. "No matter what others say, you always fall for it easily. No wonder you were cheated on."

"Okay, I am stupid. I deserve to be cheated on. Are you happy?" His last sentence crushed Emily's
heart and let her down.

"I agree, you are pretty silly," Jacob nodded and agreed with her.

"You..." Emily got angry at Jacob's arrogance. However, as the saying suggested, one had to be
humble when trapped in a compromising situation. Since she was in Jacob's place and eating the
breakfast that he was paying, Emily shut her mouth and kept silent.

"Tina is not my fiancee." Jacob passed her some small steamed buns, and squinted his eyes at her.
"Trust me, okay?"



'What difference would it make whether I believe you or not? I don't see the point anyway, ' Emily
thought to herself, though, she answered,"Okay, I trust you."

Jacob would have no reasons to cheat on her. In truth, Emily was not an extraordinarily beautiful
woman. What did Jacob see in her?

"Jacob, why do you like me?"

"Because... you are stupid."

Speechless, Emily was boiling with anger.

Emily thought it was pointless to continue talking to Jacob, since he wasn't even taking her seriously.

Emily chewed the food and stuffed her cheeks like an adorable hamster. She was so cute that Jacob
could not resist poking her face gently with his fingers.

"Eh..." Emily was irritated and she slowly moved away from his touch.

Jacob, however, moved closer and continued to poke her cheeks with his slender fingers. Emily was
fidgety so she evaded him by turning around.

Jacob missed her cheeks and ended up poking air... Amused, Jacob was about to coax her into turning
her face to him when Emily suddenly stood up.

"Jacob, please don't bring me to your house anymore. It is not appropriate because we obviously have
no future together. And, thank you for your hospitality."

"Why do we have no future together?" Jacob retorted curiously.

"Because we are badly matched." Emily faltered,"Forget what I said..."



"Forget?" Jacob snickered and looked at her with deep, piercing eyes,"What about the emotional
damages I've suffered?"

Emily goggled at him in total disbelief and asked incredulously,"Emotional damages?"

"Yeah, you have hurt my feelings."

Dumbfounded, Emily could not find the right words to express how she was feeling. After a while, she
finally submitted,"Fine. What do you want?"

Jacob raised two fingers and said solemnly,"Be my girlfriend, or pay me ten million for emotional
damages."

"You can go and rob a bank!" Emily growled. Jacob deserved an award for being such a capitalist! The
payoff was so high!

Emily hadn't even finished paying off the money she owed to the LA company. Blackmail! He was
blackmailing her! This time Jacob had gone too far!

Jacob smiled and said, with a teasing tone,"The bank did not hurt my feelings."

Emily knew that Jacob was much wittier than her. At that moment, she admitted that every word he
said hit the nail on the head... 'Stop!

I won't make any compromise for him!' thought Emily.

"I...I will think it over very carefully..." Emily fobbed him off with a vague answer and changed the
subject,"Well, I'm getting late for work. I should leave soon..."

Emily was hoping to escape her predicament by scurrying past him when suddenly Jacob's voice
compelled her to stop on her tracks.



"Your cell phone." Jacob threw Emily's cell phone up in the air and caught it with his hands. Although
he was a bit rude, he pulled it off with his gentleness and charming nature.

"Oh my god! I forgot about that." Emily turned around to get her cell phone back.

Jacob suddenly stood up and held up the cell phone above his head. He seemed to derive amusement
at Emily's expense. No matter how hard she tried, she could not catch her cell phone.

"Jacob, give it back to me." Exhausted, Emily was panting for air.

There was a mischievous smile on Jacob's handsome face, as he said to her,"Give me a kiss, then I
will give it to you."

Annoyed by his words, Emily reached out and delivered a hard blow to his chest. Jacob cried out
choking, and frowned as if she had hurt him.

Suddenly Emily thought about his wounds and became nervous,"Did I touch your wound? Sorry, I
forgot. Are you okay? Do you want me to call you a doctor?"

"I am fine." Jacob frowned, as he tried to stand up straight.

Emily flung her arms out and helped him up. When she was going to ask somebody for help, Jacob
pinched her cheeks and kissed her.

It was all an act!

"If you are unwilling, I can kiss you instead," said Jacob, in his deep and joyful voice.

Emily finally grabbed her cell phone from his hand and ran out of the house.



After their playful morning together, Emily wasn't feeling as bad as she did the day before. At the
moment, her biggest concern was trying to find a solution to her "Jacob" issue.

Jacob went to work, feeling completely refreshed. He hadn't been in such a good mood in a long time.
On the contrary, Jack felt restless and incomplete.

"Jack, our company plans to invest 1 billion in Yatai Buildings, not 100 million. Please check it clearly
and do not make mistakes next time. If you can't do that, you need to think about resigning as the
manager."

Standing at the conference table, Jack got a dressing-down from Jacob. He stood there speechlessly,
clenching his fists.

The firm's top managers were sitting in the conference room and none of them dared to say anything.
They were afraid that Jacob would scold them, so all they could do was to sympathize with Jack silently
in their hearts.

Strange to say, most of them noticed that their Boss had been in a good mood lately, but he was
friendly towards everyone except Jack. Did Jack and Jacob have a love-hate relationship, or did their
relationship go sour?

The relationship between the rich and famous was beyond their understanding.

The others did not understand why Jacob put so much pressure on him, but Jack knew clearly that he
had to make a clean break with Jacob because of Emily or else he would have no future in the
company.

The only thing that gave Jack's petty heart solace was the thought of Emily's desperation on that day,
when she sank into the depths of hopelessness.



Before Jack came clean to Emily, his true intentions were to continue controlling and manipulating her,
but he could not bear to see Emily go to Jacob again and again!

So he hit Emily hard and let her know how he felt when she had cheated on him with Jacob.

He had to admit that seeing Emily heartbroken gave him the kind of happiness nothing else could,
because the sadder she was, the more she cared about him.

Jack had successfully taken his revenge on Emily. Next on his list was Jacob!
