Chapter 329 Your Twin Sister


    Jack''s face widened, speechless. He opened his mouth to speak something but decided against it.


    From his perspective, Emily was impure. It was like she was some sauce, with two men indulging


    themselves with her.


    "Calm down. Just think it over when your head''s finally clear." Emily spoke with no hint of emotion. She


    stood up and paid for the meal and left straight away.


    Jack decided not to chase her. He just sat there with both of his hands tucked under his chin. He felt


    gloom wash all over his body.


    As he looked at the delicate dishes on the table, he felt anger suddenly surge in him. He gritted his


    teeth and kicked the table.


    The dishes fell down and crashed into pieces onto the floor.


    His heart had never felt so heavy in his entire life. It''s like as if he was carrying arge sack on his


    shoulders.


    Emily went back to thepany and boarded the elevator. Then she found herself alone,


    contemting to herself.


    She punched the button, quietly, and emotionless. She looked at her reflection at the mirror on the


    elevator''s wall. She sighed, "I look dead."


    The next second, she stared at her broken expression at the mirror. She leaned onto the wall, trying


    her best to stand still. She let out a few tears before she took deep breaths topose herself again.


    "Breathe in, breathe out. It will pass," She muttered to herself.


    A few hours ago, she saw Jacob. She decided to mask her unhappiness with a cold nk mask. She


    badly needed to vent out and if she didn''t do that, she would go insane.


    She thought that once she saw Jacob once more, she would be able to face him calmly and treat him


    as a stranger. Unfortunately, she only found herself sobbing all alone in the elevator because of him.


    He became a part of her life. No matter how she tried her best to forget him, her heart told a different


    story. She was unable to ignore himpletely.


    When she finally returned to Z Country, she tried everything not to sh back at the memories with


    Jacob. His smiles, his touch, his kisses. She tried to control her feelings and not to think about him.


    She even to an extent such as not reading the reports about him.


    However, fate can be cruel.


    It must be God''s punishment to her the moment He let their paths cross once again.


    Emily stared at her reflection and wiped away her tears. She took out some pressed powder and red


    lipstick from her ck handbag. She retouched her makeup, trying to conceal how much of a mess she


    was a while ago. She also took out some dark sunsses to hide how red and puffy her eyes were.


    When she finally finished retouching, the elevator let out a "DING" before its doors opened.


    She stepped out of the elevator and her heels cked on every step. Her assistant, who waited for her


    outside the elevator, walked on her side. "So uhm.. Ms. Lu, you have a meeting with Mr. Ling at 2PM


    and then..."


    Emily interrupted the assistant and snatched the file coldly, "I can read it by myself."


    "Yes, Ms. Lu," the assistant spoke quickly, giving a slight bow.


    As they walked towards the corner of the corridors, they saw two employees talking and gossiping at


    each other during work.


    "Ms. Lu and Emily look so alike! It''s like they''re the real twin sisters!" They whispered between


    themselves. "But their personalities and tempers arepletely different!"


    "That''s true! She looks so cold that I feel shivers down my spine whenever I see her! It still baffles me


    why Mr. Jack still pursues her. She''s just a beautiful face. I mean, who will be able to stand her? After


    all, she''s some sort of an ice queen who made her kingdom have eternal winter."


    "But ording to Mr. Jack, that''s not true."


    "Well, do you believe him?"


    Then their eyes widened when they heard a pair of heels cking on the floor. They could hear it


    coming closer.


    These employees decided to keep quiet and watched Emily and her assistant walking towards them.


    They felt cold sweats drip on their foreheads, feeling frightened.


    With so many things that happened today, Emily had finally lost her patience. She stopped at her tracks


    and looked at these employees from their heads to their toes. "Did you know that backstabbing and


    gossip is not tolerated in Lu Jewelry?" With one finally look, she spoke coldly, "You two are fired."


    The employees were shocked as her assistant hid her gasp behind the files she was carrying.


    "Ms Lu, please forgive. We are so sorry!" One of them stood out and begged as the two of them


    shivered.


    Emily wasn''t moved at all. She simply waved her hand to her assistant, "Take down their names and


    their departments."


    The assistant could only respond, "Understood, Ms. Lu."


    Emily put a hand on her waist and loudly announced, "From now on, if I see someone spreading


    rumors just like this, they shall be fired immediately. Lu Jewelry do not tolerate such acts! And for the


    last time, my name is Cloris Lu, not Emily Bai. I don''t want to hear anybody saying I look like her."


    It was true that she began her life once again as Cloris Lu. She promised herself to be stronger and


    more ruthless, and would never let anyone step on her ever again. After saying that, she turned away.


    The assistant meekly followed her.


    Emily recalled what those employees were talking about and asked, "Did Emily Bai had actually a twin


    sister?"


    From what she knew, she didn''t had any twin sister. All sheer rumors.


    The assistant started to narrate, "Yes. After Ms. Bai''s death, the Tao n found her twin sister. They


    took her home and took care of her. And of course, you look exactly like Ms. Emily Bai."


    The assistant stopped speaking and bit her lips into a straight line, afraid to say anything further that


    might offend Emily.


    Emily''s eyes darkened, biting her lips as she contemted. ''Do I really have a twin sister? What the


    actual hell is going on?'' She thought, puzzled.


    "I see," Emily spoke. "You may leave now."


    When work was done, Emily drove home all by herself. When she finally entered her house, a sweet


    aroma of homemade cooking filled her nose.


    Beryl eximed happily, "Mommy! You''re finally home!" She pulled Emily into a tight hug.


    Emily held Beryl in her arms, looking down at her daughter''s smiling face. She felt all the stress melt


    away. "Mm...Have you been a good girl today?"


    "Yes!" Beryl answered loudly, burying her face on Emily''s chest. "Mommy, can you give me a kiss?"


    Emily''s heart felt it could melt at any moment. She was so blessed to have a bundle joy like Beryl. "Of


    course. How many would you like?" Then she kissed Beryl on both cheeks, then her forehead, earning


    giggles from her daughter.


    And in return, Beryl gave a kiss on her cheek. "I love you, Mommy."


    Emily smiled lovingly at her daughter. When she looked up, her smile faded when she saw Jack.


    "Mr. Jack, what are you doing here in my house?" She gave a re, holding Beryl protectively.


    Jack stood in front of her, wearing a pink flowery apron. He also had his sleeves rolled and held a


    spat in his hands. He looked like some house-husband.


    Emily rolled her eyes, putting a palm on her face. It must be the nanny who let him in. These past few


    days, he came to visit her frequently. Gradually, Beryl became acquainted with him.


    Jack smiled gently, "I''ve learnt how to cook so I decided to drop by and cook for Beryl and you."


    "Are you kidding me? Beryl''s health condition is rather delicate. Therefore, she needs to be watched


    over, especially with what she eats. Are you willing to take responsibility if anything happens once she


    eats your food?" Emily scolded him and shook her head.


    Jack felt dejected and quickly apologized, "I''m so sorry, Emily. I didn''t know."


    "Mommy, please don''t be mad at him," Beryl looked up at her face, looking concerned. She gave


    Emily''s sleeve a tug.


    "Baby, I..." Emily hesitated. Her face softened and she knew very well that she was in a sour mood


    today. Obviously, she was so stressed she directed her annoyance on Jack. "Mr. Jack, please go


    back," Emily spoke.


    "Can I speak to you in private?" Jack asked.


    Emily wanted to rest with Beryl, so she refused, "I''m sorry but I feel tired. Please... Wait, what the hell


    are you doing?"

    Before she finished her words, Jack picked her up and carried her like a princess. He didn''t mind her


    reactions and just brought her upstairs to her room.


    Beryl was shocked by his movements as she stood frozen. The nanny quickly covered her eyes and


    said, "Oh dear, Beryl. Let''s just watch a cartoon, shall we?" Then led her away.


    "Jack, what the fuck? Put me down, you scoundrel!" Emily yelled angrily. She kept struggling on Jack''s


    shoulders and even hitting his back with her fists.


    Jack didn''t mind her. He just closed the door andid her down gently on the bed.


    Emily sat on her bed, ring at him as he approached her slowly. She kept her guard up like a deer in


    headlight. "What the hell do you want from me?"
