Chapter 8 How Dare You Hurt Her
"Jack, don''t get so riled up; I don''t want you to hurt yourself...." Rose spared no efforts to shower
Jack with pleasantries. She had fought all the way to the top to be Jack''s mistress; needless to
say, she had the skills to fend for herself.
Jack couldn''t deny that he craved for Rose''s luscious body; he did not mind paying more attention
to her. "What do you want this time? Clothes? Jewelry?" he asked.
Emily had never asked him for anything luxurious, instead, she always saved money for him. She
was definitely the best choice for an ideal wife, but unfortunately, she hadpletely betrayed him
and his trust! The hickey on her neck was the most convincing evidence!
"Nonsense, I just really care about you, " Rose clung to Jack''s arm like a spoiled child.
"Oh?" Jack squinted his eyes and jested, "I thought you wanted something from me. If that''s not that
case; just forget about it."
Jack''s words made Rose anxious. She quickly replied, "You''ve read my mind again. It''s actually just
a little thing. Jack, you are the best. You will help me, right?" Jack did not say yes immediately. He
raised his eyebrows and said, "First, tell me what this is about."
"I participated in the Jewelry Design Competition and I have already entered the final round. But...I
don''t feel confident. Jack, can you do something for me?"
"Did Emily also participate in thispetition?"
Rose nodded and observed his expression, "Jack..."
"It will depend on your performance, " Jack sneered, as the thought of Emily''s face appeared in his
mind again.
Jack had every intention of helping Rose; so long as it would help him further his quest for revenge
against Emily, for betraying him!
Time flew by calmly; the morning before the finals had finally arrived. The designers
shortlisted for the finals all stayed in their designated hotel rooms to prevent chances of cheating,
for instance, they hiring surrogate test-takers. A set of strict measures were adopted to ensure the
fairness and safety of the
After Emily had found her room, she put her bags aside andid down on the big bed to get some
rest. She got nervous thinking about all the famous jewelry designers from around the world that
hade to participate in thepetition. She really wanted to win thepetition, but, since
there were so many talented designers, what were her chances of winning at all?
"Pattering —" Suddenly, the twisting sound of the door knob interrupted Emily''s thoughts. It alerted
her vignce, as she immediately got out of bed and asked, "Who?"
She clearly remembered that she had locked the door, so that person outside the door wouldn''t be
able to get in without a card key...
Surprisingly, the door opened from the outside while Emily was holding her own key. Emily''s eyes
caught sight of a middle-aged man standing at the door as the door drewpletely open. He was
fat and bulky; with a bald head and a big beer belly.
"Judge?"
The man standing in front of her was Leo, one of the distinguished judges of thepetition. Emily
had seen him once before. What impressed her most was his appearance; he was like a walking,
talking piece of meat.
''Why is Judge Leo here at this moment?'' She could easily be suspected of bribing the judges!
"Well, Emily, I have seen all of your previous works before. You are really talented..." Leo''s flirtatious
eyes locked on to Emily''s, as he discreetly locked the door behind him.
Emily suddenly felt an ominous vibe as she said to him, "Thank you, Judge, but I think now is not
the right time nor the right ce for us to be talking about this. If you''d like to talk, we should go
outside."
"I fear outside will be too distracting for an in-depthmunication between us." A lewd smile,
stretching from one ear to the other, appeared on Leo''s face as he walked creepily towards Emily.
She racked her brains searching for the most effective way of getting rid of him, however, he did not
give her much time. He pounced on her without saying another word!
She slipped when she tried to back away from him, in shock. Before she fell to the floor, Leo caught
her hand quickly; he tightened her hand firmly.
"Don''t run, sweetheart. As long as you make me happy, I promise that you will be one of the top-
three designers." Leo pulled her hand with a lustful look of desire burning in his eyes.

"Judge Leo! Please behave yourself!" Emily tried to push his hands away, but it was not working.
She could only look at him angrily and helplessly.
"Behave myself? You are the one who left me a note in my room, as an invitation. It was you who
begged me to sleep with you!"
"No, I didn''t! I did not write you any note!" Emily refuted angrily. She knew that there must have
been a misunderstanding!
"Stop it! I can make you a superstar. Don''t y hard to get with me!"
Leo was losing his patience little by little. He tightened his grip on her hands. Finally, he grabbed her
by the arms.
Emily struggled, but somehow managed to free her other hand to p Leo across the face. The
sound of the p was as loud as a thunder crack.
"Bitch! How dare you hit me!" Leo was so furious, his eyes looked like they were ready to explode;
the fat on his face shook as if it were boiling in pure rage. "I will teach you a lesson today!"
A look of anger reced the look of
embarrassment on Emily''s face. She was going to apply the same tactic she had used to deal with
Jack. At that moment, she heard a snapping sounde from behind Leo. Someone outside had
kicked the door in!
"Who the fuck?" Leo cursed with fury. Before he could look back to see who it was, he was knocked
over by a powerful force before he even realized it.
"Fuck you..." When Leo saw the man''s face clearly, his own facial expression changed drastically.
"Mr. Jacob...what are you doing here?" Jacob nced at Emily and then looked at the man on the
floor. Fires of fury and hatred smouldered in the corners of his eyes, as if a raging storm was
coming to exact divine judgment.
"How dare you touch her?"
The coldness of his voice as well as his wording frightened Emily, who looked as pale as a porcin
doll. She feared that now everyone was going to find out about the ridiculous affair between Jacob
and her.
Leo wasn''t looking very well either. There were tiny pods of sweat forming on his forehead. Yet, he
did not forget to attribute the responsibility to Emily, "Mr. Jacob, this... this woman seduced me
first..."
Jacob didn''t even let him finish his sentence. He knocked him on the ground and kept on kicking
him until Leo started to scream for help.
Deep in his heart, he had already regarded Emily as his woman. How could he tolerate another
man''s hands on her! Thest person toy hands on her was his nephew, Jack; he couldn''t just kill
his nephew like that. As for the pathetic man, squirming on the floor in from of him, he did not care!
"Mr. Jacob, please, stop..." Leo cast aside his dignity and self-respect. He fell at Jacob''s feet and
begged for mercy, only to be kicked in the face again. Emily was like a stunned spectator; she stood
there terrified and motionless. She had never witnessed such brutality before; he was like a wild
beast.
"Mr... Mr. Jacob..."
"You feel sympathy for him?" Jacob narrowed his cold eyes, ncing at her. His apathetic re cut
through her soul like a hot knife through butter.
Emily swallowed hard and pleaded nervously, "No, no, Mr. Jacob, you might kill him...and it''s
against thew to kill people..."
Jacob stopped for a moment to let out a grimughter.
Just when Leo started rxing because he thought he was going to be forgiven, Jacob''s expensive
shoe stepped on his fat hand and crushed it hard.
