Chapter 336 Let Me Be Your Mistress

Jacob sneered, "You really know how to come up with plans."

"Is that a yes?" asked Mr. Gu.

"But on one condition," Jacob said.

"Go on," added Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu seemed to have peaked his interest.

"This is the last thing I will do for you," Jacob said, with a cold, hard look on his face.

"Okay," Mr. Gu promised quickly. He seemed to have thought of something, and his wrinkled old face
showed an unidentified smile. "Jacob, the war in A country is so fierce that you must come back alive,
otherwise how can you avenge me?"

Jacob knew what Mr. Gu was implying. With his dark, piercing eyes he said, "Anyway, I am going to live
longer than you, you can rest assured."

On his way out, Jacob ran into Jack.

"You've seen Emily? Are you happy?" Jacob mocked. Jack glared at Jacob's face gloomily, and said," I
am wondering why you haven't died yet."

"Shut up!" he screamed at Jack. Jacob's face was as cold as ice. He warned, "If you let it out, I will kill
you."

Suddenly, Jack frowned with shame. He knew that Jacob was talking about Emily.

Whether it was in the office or at other places, Jack upheld the principle of not letting Jacob be happy.
He always liked to work against him, but for this matter, they acted in tacit agreement.



Neither of them wanted Mr. Gu to know about Emily's existence, to avoid any kind of harm befalling
her.

Jack's hot pursuit of Emily had drawn the attention of Mr. Gu. In order to avoid suspicion, he did not go
to the party, instead he carried out the tasks given to him by Mr. Gu.

The fear in his heart had grow into hatred over the years.

Not only did he want Jacob to die, he also wanted Mr. Gu to die. That way, nobody could stop him from
being with Emily.

"Jack," Jacob called out, looking like a beast stretching out its sharp claws. "Just because you want me
to die, doesn't mean that I will," he added.

Jack's heart trembled, as the air around him starting to feel thick and hard to breathe in. He had not
seen that side of Jacob in a long time.

Yes, this was Jacob. Many years had passed, and he had grown accustomed to his silence, but he had
not forgotten his real nature.

Cruel, cold-blooded and merciless.

Even in slumber the lion was still the king of the jungle.

And the person who awakened the sleeping lion within Jacob was Emily.

But what of that? Jack had been plotting it for so many years, he was unlikely to lose.

"Well, it depends on who will die first," Jack sneered and then walked away.

It made no difference whether it was the Gu Consortium or Emily, this was his time to rise. No one
could take them away from him!



On his way back, Jacob leaned back in his car seat, and closed his eyes. No one could tell what he
was thinking.

Sam, who was driving, observed him from the rear-view mirror occasionally, and found nothing
unusual. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Jacob was thinking about what Mr. Gu had said to him.

His only brother was still alive... Jacob concluded, that if Mr. Gu was using his brother as a trading
card, it would mean that his brother was safe now.

In any case, he would find a way to save him somehow.

Jacob opened his eyes slowly to the scenery outside that flashed away quickly like a reel of film. He
thought of the indifference in Emily today and a sharp pang of affection surged into his heart.

No matter how Emily treated him, as long as she was alive and happy, nothing else mattered.

But he had already promised Mr. Gu. Soon he would have to leave and he wouldn't be able to keep an
eye on her any longer... That was the hardest pill for Jacob to swallow.

He was worried that other men would come in and make trouble for her, especially Jack, the wolf pup,
with bad intentions... He'd better leave some of his most trusted and loyal people behind to protect
Emily here.

When he realized that Sam was headed for the hospital, Jacob frowned and said, "Don't go to the
hospital, just take me to Tyrone Mansion."

"But, Mr..." Sam tried to persuade him, only interrupted by him mid way.

"I see that you've been trying to disobey my orders lately," said Jacob.



"I dare not," said Sam.

"You better not," said Jacob.

Jacob ended the conversation there, leaving Sam in a pool of his own sweat. Without further ado, he
turned the car around and drove to Tyrone Mansion.

As soon as Jacob came back to his mansion, he shut himself in the room where he had once lived with
Emily. Lost in memory lane, he stared at the decorations in the room. After a long time, he laughed
slowly.

For four years, he had kept the room for her. Every time he went inside, his heart broke into pieces.
And yet everyday he would visit the room, as if it was the only way he could feel her presence.

Now, after he entered the room again, the agony he once felt no longer existed. Although she was not
by his side, he was still happy.

Deep in his heart was sour and numb, but it has regained its lively beat. For four years he had not had
the feeling of living in the world.

"Dub-dub." Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, followed by a voice, "Mr. Jacob, Miss Jiang is
here to see you."

"Tell her to go away," he said.

"Miss Jiang insists on staying... She would not leave. She said she needs to see you."

Jacob's eyes darkened, as he looked like he had thought of something interesting. He stood up to
leave and answered, "I see."

After diligently delivering the message, the maid quickly went on with her own business.



Jennifer stood in the living room. As soon as she looked up, she saw the face of a handsome man
coming down the stairs step by step. He was wearing a dark blue casual clothes. His face was pale,
but still maintained his charming looks. Even just by standing there, he looked elegant.

This was the same man who had trampled all over her pride and threw out her love for him in the
garbage.

As if that weren't ridiculous enough, she was willing to do anything for him.

"Click, click, click." The elegant footsteps echoed throughout the hall. Every step was like gentle nudge
in her heart, beating in the same frequency.

"What is it?" he asked. Jacob's footsteps stopped at the end of the stairs, just three meters away from
Jennifer. He looked down at her like a superior king.

For a moment, Jennifer felt she was like a concubine begging for the emperor's pity.

"I want to make a deal with you," she proposed.

"I am not interested," he refused.

"I think you will be interested in it," she said. Jennifer smirked, as if she knew Jacob couldn't refuse her
offer. "It is something to do with Emily," she said softly.

Jacob's eyes narrowed. "Do you want to die?" he asked.

Displeased, Jennifer turned her smile upside down. She felt like Jacob was pounding her heart with a
hammer.

Die?

Did he tell her to die?



He wanted her to die, because of Emily?

In despair, Jennifer shook her head in disbelief. "As I've said, I'm here to talk to you about the terms. As
long as you promise me one thing, I won't tell uncle Gu."

Jacob looked at her expressionlessly. Not one word left his mouth.

Jennifer had an absurd proposal. She did not hide her desire for Jacob. "Jacob, let me be your
mistress. I will not tell Emily, nor will I stand in your way," she said.
