Chapter 62 Miss Emily Will Also Attend The Feast

Emily was still waiting for Jacob to ask her for an explanation; unexpectedly, he had disappeared for a
few days and did not come to find her, which came as a relief to her.

Meanwhile, she was getting along with Jack quite well, but she gradually realized that she would never
have the same feelings she used to have for him again.

Emily wasn't the same person she once was, and neither was Jack. Did she do the right thing by
getting back together with him?

Emily couldn't stop doubting herself.

However, since she had made her choice, she was willing to try and maintain their relationship.

At lunch break, Emily and Jack had lunch together as usual. She was walking behind Jack, slowly,
when she noticed one long strand of hair on his shoulder.

Emily calmly picked up the strand of hair and asked,"Jack, what's this?"

Jack turned around and squinted his eyes, as if to observe that hair carefully. He smiled heartily and
replied,"It's just a strand of hair. You must have left it on me."

Emily nodded, holding that hair between her fingers lightly,"Maybe..."

"What do you mean by 'maybe'?" Jack was dissatisfied with her answer, but he brushed her hair gently
with his hand and whispered,"I only have one woman, and that's you. I hope you wouldn't
misunderstand me."

"I was just asking." Emily didn't say anything more.

During lunchtime, Jack left for the washroom, and left his phone on the table.



Suddenly, his phone vibrated as a new message had popped up on the screen.

Emily did not have a habit of checking her boyfriend's phone, but this time, she couldn't resist the
temptation and picked up Jack's phone to check.

The new message had come from an unknown number. It was quite short, only with one sentence: I
miss you.

Emily swallowed, nervously, not knowing what to think. When she was about to put the phone back, a
person's hand patted her on the shoulder.

"Peeking at my messages, huh?"

Jack was just joking, but when he saw the look on Emily's face, he immediately looked at the phone,
only to see that message on the screen.

He became nervous, and overwhelmed with fear. "A message?"

Emily put down the phone and looked up right into his eyes. It seemed like she was waiting for an
explanation.

Jack attempted to explain, as if it was nothing,"Rose has been harassing me lately, texting me all kinds
of messages every day, but trust me, I didn't reply to her, not even once."

He spoke confidently and declared himself right away, suggesting that it was not a big deal.

Her doubts were dispelled eventually. Looking into Jack's eyes, Emily licked her lip and replied,"I trust
you."

'But you'd better live up to my trust.'



Jack seemed guilty when he looked into Emily's eyes. A slight sense of insecurity skimmed over her
heart, but it faded within seconds.

He raised his left eye-brow, and changed the topic quickly. "There will be a feast in a few days. Would
you like to come with me?"

"Would it be appropriate for me to attend such a feast? I don't think that's a good idea."

"What's wrong about it?" Jack smiled mischievously,"You are my girlfriend. If you won't be my partner,
where will I find another one?"

After a moment's consideration, she nodded her head and agreed.

The welcoming feast, in honor of the daughter of the Tao clan, finally came a few days later.

When the invitation letter was passed on to Jacob a fourth time, he threw it into the dustbin without
another thought.

"I have made it clear that I am not attending. Don't accept any invitations from the Tao clan ever again."

Jacob knitted his brows slightly, but it was obvious that he was unhappy. Sam hesitated for a while and
said,"But I heard that Miss Emily would also attend the feast..."

"Rip*..." the corner of a file was torn off. Jacob scoffed,"Why would I care if she's going to the feast or
not?

(*TN: the imitation of the sound when a paper is teared down) Don't mention her name to me again."

"Yes, Mr. Jacob." Sam reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead, even though there was no sweat
at all. He nodded respectfully and walked away. 'If the boss has lost his interest in Emily, maybe it's for
the the best.'



Just after a few steps, he heard his boss's cold voice again.

"Stop!"

Sam turned back and replied,"Yes, Mr. Jacob?"

"Pick up the invitation for me."

"..." Baffled, Sam couldn't say anything for a while, but he managed to bend down and pull the invitation
out of the bin without asking anything. After patting it a few times to get it clean, he handed the
invitation to his boss.

Jacob took it from him and threw it on the table without looking. "Get the car ready."

Sam was confused again,"..."

'What happened to the man who said that there's no way he would ever go to the banquet? 'I never
took you for an indecisive man, saying no when you actually meant yes!'

...

On the feast of the Tao clan, people were toasting and clinking glasses with each other.

Tina was wearing a hand-made white veil dress, which accentuated her graceful figure perfectly.
Delicate white roses were embroidered around her chest. As the leading main focal point of the feast,
she looked gorgeous and elegant, attracting attention from everyone present there.

'But none of this is enough. It's far from enough.'

While still preoccupied in her own thoughts, Tina scoured the entire place, searching for someone for a
long time. Unfortunately, she failed to find the person she desired to see.



"Tina, who are you looking for?" Jasmyn, the lady of the Jiang clan, came over. She was Tina's best
friend, so she teased her casually,"Come on, let me guess. Are you waiting for your Mr. Gu?"

"What do you mean by 'my' Mr. Gu.? Don't talk rubbish." Although she spoke reluctantly, Tina felt much
better. When she looked to the woman standing beside Jasmyn, she raised her eyebrow slightly and
asked,"Who's she?"

When Rose was called, she was already standing in the shade for some time. She raised her head
finally, with a smile on her face and replied,"Miss Tao, I am Rose Xu..."

"Rose?" Tina had spent the past few years abroad so she hadn't heard any negative news regarding
Rose, and just assumed that she was a woman who was fond of clinging to prestigious clans. "There
isn't a Xu clan in Jingshi City, is there? I have never heard of it."

Rose froze after she heard Tina's words. To defuse the embarrassment, Jasmyn stepped up and
said,"She was not from our group. I am the one who brought her in."

That part was true. Jasmyn loved jewelry, and they met when she was shopping for jewelries.When
Rose recognized who Jasmyn was, she introduced Jasmyn to jewelries that would cater to her
pleasure. She also whitewashed her story by describing herself as a designer who was set up and
treated unjustly, which won Jasmyn's sympathy immediately.

The Tao clan had a significant status. The Gu clan and the Tao clan were the two prestigious clans of
Jingshi City. Therefore, the guests present at the feast were either members of powerful families,
honourable clans, or social celebrities.

Rose naturally wanted to attend the feast. After all, Jack was no longer reliable, so she needed to find
another rich man for herself.

If she could somehow catch someone like Jacob...



Obviously, Jack did not care what she wanted or bring her to the feast, instead, he planned to bring
Emily and let her get acquainted with the people from the upper class in advance...

How else was Rose going to get an invite to the party?

Rose ingratiated herself with Jasmyn over the past few days to get her ticket to the feast finally.
