Chapter 127 I Think It Is Worth It, And Then It Is Worth It.


    Sam swallowed unconsciously, then he continued to speak,"Miss Emily was caught as well, but she


    was saved before the worst could happen. She saw the suspect raping the young girls. Luckily, when


    he turned to Miss Emily, the police arrived and handcuffed the raper before he could even touch her.


    Nevertheless, Miss Emily was still deeply scared."


    "Eventually the suspect was sentenced to death. Although Miss Emily did not get any real harm form


    this experience, there were many rumors at that time. People started talking, and soon Miss Emily''s


    family had all the city''s eyes on them. Since they were already upset by the whole trial process, being


    surrounded by all those rumors was not helping her mental condition at all, thus all her family moved to


    the Haicheng City."


    "For a very long time, the old memories of what happened where still haunting the poor girl. But despite


    all of the troubles, Miss Emily was still able to bury deep down the pain, and with time, she slowly forgot


    about it and gradually get back to her normal life."


    When Sam finished talking, Jacob felt like he was sinking in the water. It was really hurting for him to


    hear this story, and Sam noticed. In fact, Jacob did not seed into masking his feelings. His eyes


    slowly darkened; it was alike a tinyer of ck mist covered the white part of the eye. The hands were


    strongly clenched to his side, and from the paleness of the skin were revealed pulsing blue veins.


    Jacob was clearly putting a lot of effort to hear the story, but nevertheless, he kept listening until the


    end.


    In real, Emily did not get scared of the dark, but of her old and terrible memories still alive into her


    nightmares. ''No wonder that recently she was mentally unstable. It surely was because someone had


    been threatening her with this video!'', Jacob thought.


    "How did Tina get the video?" He asked to Sam.


    "The truth is that it was Miss Tina''s brother who got it at first. He must have sent it to his sister short


    after. Now we already deleted the video from Miss Tina''s mobile phone, but it is highly possible that


    there is still a backup copy in her brother''s hands."


    "Well done, Sam."


    Jacob''s tone sounded a bit more relieved, but on his face there were still thatyer of darkness. "I will


    handle Mark myself. You will continue looking after Tina and Emily. If anything happens, tell me


    immediately."


    "Yes, Mr. Jacob."


    After Sam left, Jacob remained alone in the room, thinking at the scene in that video with clenched


    fists. He stayed there for some minutes with white knuckles and blood-thirsty eyes.


    If he could, he would took out that man from the screen and smash his face with bare hands before


    cutting him into a million pieces.


    Then he set his mind on Emily, that cheerful, optimistic, strong and smiling girl. It was unbelievable that


    a girl like that was bearing such obscure shadows into her soul.


    At the thought of Emily, Jacob''s heart hurt some much. It was like being hit by something heavy and


    sharp. The pain was terrible.


    He adored Emily. He would have done everything into his power to protect that girl, but nevertheless,


    Emily was already hurt by some others. She was already suffering, and he had no idea until now.


    Staring into space, Jacob muttered,"I swear it, Emily. No one will hurt you again. No one!"


    ……


    Half an hourter, Jacob was already in the Tao''spany.


    Mark probably knew his intention, but still he maintained that superb face. "Mr. Jacob, what a surprise!


    May I ask why are you here?"


    Still filled with rage, Jacob nced at that arrogant face, looked directly into those ice-cold eyes, and


    said: "Emily''s video is in your hands. I want you to delete it right away."


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    All other videos were already deleted, without any possibility of recovery. Jacob was sure Mark had the


    only copy remained.


    Mark twitched his mouth and pretended to bepletely unaware "You are barking up the wrong tree,


    Mr. Jacob. I don''t know anything about Emily. "


    "An honest man does not resort to these silly games.."


    Jacob was naturally prepared to such behavior, and he had this words ready. In fact, he had exhausted


    his patience, and he had no time to waste. "You see this thing... Is it worthy of an exchange? "


    Mark took the file that Jacob pushed forward, and he flipped it over. His expression changed slightly,"...


    "You are really a character, Mr. Jacob."


    The file contained evidence of some smuggling and cheating done by Mark on ount of the Tao


    company. If Jacob would turn it in, for thepany, this would mean not only a great loss but rather a


    huge disaster.


    Now it was Jacob holding all the aces, and Mark was the one looking at the other bottom-up. ''If he was


    able to discover such things, what else does he know?'' he asked himself.


    "So are you." answered Jacob firmly.


    "Then are you sure you have no other uses for this file?"


    Mark had recovered his original look and even revealing a slight smile. "Is it really worth to exchange


    such important informations for a woman''s video?"


    "I think it is worth it, and then it is worth it."


    If Mark had nothing in his hands, Jacob would have used these material to finally take the Tao


    company by surprise. In fact, despite all the pressure received by old Mr. Gu to hook up Jacob and


    Tina, Jacob had no intention to marry that arrogant and spoiled girl in the first ce.


    But all this was insignificant,pared to Emily. He would never let Tina get into the possess of the


    video again so that she would threaten Emily another time. Now it was the time he would stop all


    Emily''s troubles.


    "Okay, I agree."


    Mark answered him very quickly. He had no time to waste. What if Jacob changed his mind on this


    deal? No, he could not let this happen. He must wipe out the evidence as soon as possible. "Well, I


    really have to thank Miss Emily I guess. If it weren''t for her, in which other way would you have handed


    me the knife with which you wanted to stab me one day?"


    Jacob sneered coldly, his narrow eyes hidden a murderous look. "I told you. Keep an eye on your


    sister."


    Mark''s face was slightly dark. "I know what I am doing."


    With this, Mark meant that If Jacob wanted to touch Tina, he would have done his best to stop him.


    The two did not muttered one more word. After all, both parties got the results they wanted.


    Soon after, Jacob passed the file to Mark and they deleted the video once and for all. When this was


    done, Jacob left Mark in the silence of the room. The quiet was interrupted by his phone. It was Tina.


    Mark picked it up immediately, and he heard the anger in her voice.


    "Brother! My mobile phone was hacked, and the video of Emily is gone! Please send me another one


    soon! "


    After a moment of silence Mark sighed and replied,"Tina, I do not have the video anymore."


    Tina answered with an high-pitched voice,"Why?"


    You have the backup!"


    If the video was gone, how could she persecute Emily now? How could she keep Emily away Jacob so


    that she could spend time with him alone?


    Even though Mark had other and more important things to do at work now, he still answered calmly to


    his sister,"Tina, listen to me. Jacob knew of the video. Today he came over and asked me to delete it."


    "How could it be?"


    Tina was incredulous. She finally had a way to scare out Emily, and it was in her very hands. But before


    she could even dispose of, it was gone!


    "So you should not do anything reckless for the time being."


    Tina obviously did not want to ept what Mark said. Her voice was even more angry than before,"I


    don''t buy it! I tried so hard to get Jacob all for me!


    Brother, help me. If the video is really gone, all I have done so far is gone with it. And everything that


    happened to Emily will be forget. You cannot let this happen."


    Mark sighed and waited a moment for her to calm down,"... I''ll see what I can do."


    He couldn''t figure out the reason why Tina liked Jacob. After all, Jacob didn''t like her at all, but either


    way, she did not quit with him. Mark did not know whether it was courageous or just stupid.


    ……


    In the president''s office of the Gu Consortium.


    Jacob called Emily, who waspletely unaware of the recent events, into the office, and invited her to


    sit down. He introduced Emily to the man in front of them. "This is Mr. Chester, the partner of our


    company''s next project, and also, my friend."


    The man nodded to her and smiled. "Hello, Emily. It is a pleasure to meet you finally."


    "The pleasure is mine, Mr. Chester."


    Although Emily was still unsure of the reason why Jacob wanted to present her this man, she did not


    ask questions but greeted him politely.
