Chapter 333 Nothing But A White Lotus

Tina couldn't put to words the wave of emotions she felt when she finally saw Emily - she couldn't
believe her eyes. She was beyond excited she felt like she was going to explode.

Nobody else had made her feel that much emotion for the past four years.

She always had some suspicion about Emily dying out of nowhere - that wasn't the Emily that she
knew. To Tina, if Emily was going to get killed by someone - it would be her, it wouldn't be just anyone.

"Tina," Mark whispered Tina's name from behind her.

"Shh," Tina raised her forefinger and put it to her lips to silence Mark, "Be quiet," she said with a
serious look on her face.

Mark looked towards the direction where Tina was focused. He frowned when he saw a woman that
looked like Emily.

'Is that Emily? Isn't she dead?' Mark thought to himself.

Mark had always abhorred Emily's face because Tina was obsessed with her. Tina could never stop
talking about Emily especially over the past four years. She also had plastic surgery so she would look
like Emily.

Emily was just a plain old girl - Mark didn't know why Tina was so obsessed with her.

If he hadn't known that Tina, in reality, hated Emily so much that she wanted to kill Emily with her own
two hands, he would've thought she was in love with Emily.

Either way, Mark hated anyone who caught Tina's attention - whether it was a guy or a girl.

Emily stared Mark down - he was her brother who had attempted to kill her over and over again.



To Emily, Mark wasn't a brother anymore, he was an evil spirit with no conscience.

Everyone was coming together in one place and there was nothing that could be done about it. This
should have been over four years ago!

Tina put on a sly smile, picked up her dress, and started to walk towards Emily only to be held back by
Mark.

"Let me go," Tina barked as she turned around to scowl at Mark, "Didn't you hear me, Mark? Let me
go."

Mark's grasp on her arm was gentle but firm, "Didn't you just have your eyes on the youngest son of
the Li clan a few days ago? I can help you, you know."

"No." Tina wasn't interested at all - all she wanted to do now was see the look on Emily's face, "Let me
go!" she said, raising her voice a bit this time.

Mark ignored her. He tightened her grasp and pulled her aside, "I promise you that you won't regret
this. Please."

The people around them started watching and pointing but Mark made sure that there was nothing for
them to see.

Emily was fuming and she had some trouble keeping it in check that she almost broke the glass in her
hand into pieces.

She came back to Z Country for two reasons and that was for the Lu clan and vengeance for her and
her foster parents.

Emily's foster parents weren't the best ones but nonetheless, she appreciated them because they fed
her, clothed her, and sent her to school.



All of their lapses weren't justified by Tina killing them in cold blood. Not to mention that Tina was their
actual daughter, not even Emily.

It was absolutely insane for Tina to kill her own parents and Emily wanted nothing but revenge for that.
She wanted to make sure that Tina was going to pay for what she did.

People began to move and dance to the sound of the music.

"Miss Lu, would you like to dance with me?" A handsome gentleman stepped in front of Emily and held
out his hand gently.

Emily looked up only to see someone very familiar.

The man was Magee.

He was the man behind the whole thing about Leona. He must have been planning something because
he wouldn't just show himself to Emily out of nowhere and without reason.

Emily had no plans of dancing with Magee but when she saw the look on Leona's face, she took
Magee's hand and accepted his invitation just to spite Leona.

Emily smiled, "Sure!"

As expected, Leona tightened her grip on her wine glass - she was oozing with jealousy.

This was exactly the response that Emily was hoping for. The only thing that would make Emily happy
was if Leona was unhappy.

Magee was completely oblivious to the tension between the two women. He kept his gaze at Emily and
was thrilled at her response.



Emily didn't know what Magee was up to but that didn't mean that she couldn't use him for her own
gain. So she hesitantly held out her hand but just when she was about to reach Magee's hand,
someone grabbed her from out of nowhere.

"Ah!" she shrieked. Magee made a gesture to hold on to her but he stopped and she didn't know why.

Before Emily knew it, her body was jolted against a man whose scent was familiar.

"You..." She tried to wriggle herself free but the man held her by the wrist.

"What are you doing..." Emily was speechless when she recognized who it was.

Emily didn't know how to act, what to feel, or even what to think! She was in a daze and she didn't
know what was happening - she stopped struggling and Jacob was still holding tightly to her wrist.

And Jacob wouldn't let her go. Instead, he held Emily in his arms, looked her in the eye, and touched
his lips with hers.

When their lips touched, it was like fireworks - both their hearts started beating faster and a chill ran
down both their spines.

Jacob kissed her passionately, pouring all those years of longing into this single moment.

He could feel Emily's warm body against his - that meant she was real!

Everything was too surreal for Jacob. Emily was here. She was real. The void in his heart had been
filled once again.

Emily! His Emily! Alive Emily!



The kiss sent Emily into a trance that when she finally realized what was happening, she instantly
pushed him away, "Get off!"

"Sss..." Emily didn't know that she touched his wound on the chest which made Jacob take a deep
breath.

Emily was shocked, "What happened to you?"

"Just an accident," Jacob said, nuzzling his face into her hair, "Come here, I want to hold you again."

Tears were welling up in Emily's eyes and her heart was still beating rapidly, "Are you hurt?"

No wonder she hadn't saw him for several days. Emily didn't know what she felt for Jacob but she knew
that she couldn't blame him nor hate him because he hadn't done anything wrong.

On the contrary, Emily felt like apologizing to him.

But she couldn't pretend that everything was fine and everything was back to normal.

She didn't want to be stuck in the past.

Jacob noticed the change in her eyes and suddenly, he felt okay for the first time in four years.

"I lied to you, it wasn't an accident," he said, smiling and leaning towards her to kiss her again. But
Emily slapped him across the face before he could even get close.
