SPOILED GIRL - Season 9 Episode 97

Emily’s face turned scarlet as she buried her face deeper into Jacob’s arms. The women around them were all shamelessly talking about them.

“Wow, he is so handsome…”

“Wow, he is so cool… The woman in his arms must be so very happy…” A young woman could not help feeling envious.

“Don’t you know him? He is Jacob, the most famous man in Jingshi City. And I guess that the woman in his arms is his wife?” a beautiful girl wondered out loud.

“Yeah, she is his wife, but why do I feel that she looks so much like someone else? Ah, she looks like a younger version of the late genius designer, Emily!” another girl flaunted her knowledge.

“Really? Wow, I would never have thought that Jacob would be so single-minded! He even married a woman whose face is a carbon copy of his late girlfriend!” the beautiful girl exclaimed in surprise.

Secretly, they all felt that this was the most romantic notion, a tale of true love that they all longed for.

Swiftly, all of the women who had just envied Emily turned sympathetic to her as they falsely believed that this younger version of Emily would never be more than a substitute for a dead woman.

Jacob suddenly stopped and scanned the crowd with his deep, black eyes, his focus cold and sharp as ever.

“She is Emily! She’s the only one I love, from the beginning to the end!”

His cold and serious voice frightened all of the women around them, and he even frightened Emily, who was in his arms. ‘She’s the only one I love, from the beginning to the end!

Me too, my darling. You’re the only one I love, from the beginning to the end!’ Emily mentally promised.

She could not help smiling when she heard what Jacob said and stared affectionately at his handsome face with her clear, large eyes.

“She, she, she… She is Emily? But she looks no older than a teenager! If I recall correctly, shouldn’t Emily be 27 or 28 years old if she was still alive?”

a noble-born girl in the crowd posed the question quietly. She had seen Emily at a few society parties, so she dared to ask questions.

“Yeah, right! The late genius designer, Emily, should be 27 or 28 years old! How could she still look so young now?”

Someone in the crowd agreed with the girl’s guess, drawing murmurs of agreement from the spectators.

Soon, the crowd began to murmur as they discussed this turn of events.

Sam moved to stop them but Jacob signaled for him to stay back with his sharp eyes and furrowed brows. Anyone who questioned his Emily would face his wrath. Jacob meant to deal with this personally.

Jacob’s face had darkened like a storm was brewing. ‘They can question me, but no one is allowed to question my Emily!’ he thought bleakly.

Feeling Jacob’s mood turning, Emily pulled his sleeve to remind him that he should not care about what these unimportant people said. She did not want a public incident.

Emily believed that Jacob knew with certainty whether she was the real Emily or not, and that was enough. The opinions of others did not matter at all to her.

Narrowing his lips, Jacob forced himself to calm down as he turned to look at the two girls who had spoken from the crowd. “You are the twin sisters of the Liu family, right?” he asked in a cold voice.

The two girls stared at Jacob with surprise and answered quickly, “Yeah, we are the twin sisters of Liu family. Mr. Jacob, you…”

‘It is commonly said that Jacob is an indifferent but single-minded man of great business acumen. If he knows our identity, then he must have developed an interest in us recently!

Perhaps that means that we have a chance of getting closer to him?’

Thinking of this, the two girls mistakenly believed that they had featured importantly in Jacob’s mind. They even believed that Jacob did not really care for this so-called Emily in his arms. His previous words must then be a farce to fool this stupid doppelganger!

Jacob threw a frigid glance at the two girls and turned to instruct Sam in a cold voice. “I’m very interested in the projects that Liu Consortium is following.”

“Yes, sir.”

Having assisted Jacob for so many years, Sam knew that the two girls had crossed Jacob’s line. They had not earned his interest in a way that was favorable. ‘Maybe in a few days’ time, there will no longer be a Liu Consortium in Jingshi City, ‘ Sam thought absently.

The two girls felt so blindly happy upon hearing what Jacob had said that they even considered pulling Emily out of Jacob’s protective arms so that they could replace her in his affections. They had no understanding of the real intention behind his words.

“Mr. Jacob, if you have an interest in us, you may approach our father directly. We cannot speak on his behalf.”

The two girls had completely misunderstood Jacob, and they thought that he was really interested in them.

Sam glanced at them sympathetically, then turned to leave in Jacob’s wake, though he could still hear them congratulating themselves on moves well made.

Emily sat quietly in Jacob’s arms in the back seat of the car and said nothing. Sam could feel the tension between them and he quickly raised the partition to give them some privacy as they got into the car.

‘Jacob! You are such a liar! Didn’t you just say that I’m the only one you love? Then why would you chit-chat so happily with those two minxes? Why would you even know who they are, and among such a crowd?’ Emily could not help quietly complaining in her mind.

“Are you jealous?” Jacob lowered his dark eyes to gaze at Emily. There was a slight smile in his eyes, though his lips were drawn tight.

Emily shook her head and answered in a cold voice, “No.”

Despite her denial, she felt sour in her heart at the public slight.

“Those two girls were being guarded by security operatives who were all wearing the communication gear which is trademarked to the Liu Consortium. That is how I guessed that they were the twin sisters of the Liu Consortium.” Jacob explained gently as he leaned closer to Emily’s ear.

Emily was startled. ‘Is Jacob explaining to me?’ she wondered in amazement.

She would always believe whatever Jacob said to her, even though she did not really know whether he was telling the truth. Such was the dynamic of trust in their relationship.

“Didn’t you look at them?” Emily pouted as she asked unhappily. She was just like a kid who was throwing a tantrum.

Despite Jacob’s explanation, she seemed inconsolable in her bitter mood.
“Yes, I saw them.” Jacob tried to stop from smiling as he stared closely at Emily, not wanting to miss the expressions changing on Emily’s face.

This was a game which he enjoyed! “Which eye did you see them with?” Emily demanded as she pinched Jacob’s cheek lightly and pretended not to let him forget this “indiscretion.”

“Both.” He grinned widely then.

“Dig them out!” She pretended to be angry.

“Then how can I look at my beautiful wife? What’s more, I will need them later when we go home to…”

Jacob’s eyes roved downward to Emily’s breasts while he continued speaking in a lazy tone.

“We can still do that without eyes!” Emily covered her breasts and stared back cheekily at Jacob’s handsome face.

With a sly smile, Jacob drew Emily closer and asked in a speculative tone, “So, you agree that we can do that?”

“Wait! We need to go home. Go home first, please!” she demanded as his lips sank down to her neck, and she could see the pulsating intent in his sultry eyes.

Emily had to reach a compromise as they were still in the car and Sam was on the driver’s side of the tinted glass panel! ‘How could we… Oh, my God…’ Emily did not dare to think further along those embarrassing lines.

In Tyrone Mansion.

Jacob dashed up to their bedroom carrying Emily in his arms as soon as they got out of the car. He was beyond caring what the maids thought.

Bowen could not help but knit his little eyebrows seriously as his parents did not even notice him. Wanting their attention, he climbed the stairs up towards his parents’ room quietly, and the maids did not notice his disappearance.

“Jacob… Slowly…”

“Call me ‘darling’!”

Jacob sped up his rhythm on purpose and did not slow down until Emily begged him. Passion dulled their senses and they were oblivious to everything around them.

They were still engaging with each other, when-

“Daddy… Mommy…”

The soft voice sounded in their ears and Bowen was peering up at them with great curiosity as his head was just at the level of the bed. Instantly, their motion stopped and their gasping died in their throats as their eyes focused on their young son’s unblinking stare.

Jacob reacted first, quickly covering Emily with the quilt, and then he threw a cloth toward Bowen, covering his head.

Emily felt so embarrassed in Jacob’s arms that her face turned all the colors of the rainbow, ranging from pale to boiled shrimp red. She wished then that she could find a hole to crawl into and hide!

‘Oh, my God! What did Bowen see? Oh, my God! How could he see us like this?’ Emily was so embarrassed…
