Unexpected Love: Beyond the Shadows of Deceit（63）

Chapter 63
A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 63

“I’ll let it go this time,” said Tina, as she looked at Rose, with eyes full of contempt. She added,”Jasmyn, please don’t bring every other Tom, Dick and Harry in front of me again. It’s a degradation of my status.”

Although, Rose was a good friend of hers, Jasmyn could not afford to offend Tina for Rose’s sake. Immediately, she assured,”Okay, sure. It won’t happen again.”

“It’s not that you are not allowed to bring people in, but you should bring in someone who is, at the very least, from a decent family, you know what I mean?”Tina smiled scornfully and looked away. She wouldn’t even give Rose a second look.

“Okay, I get it, I get it.”

What the two supercilious ladies failed to notice was that Rose lowered her head, her eyes overflowed with jealousy and her fists clenched tightly…

Just because they were born in notable families, and had respectable parents?

Why would she have to be looked down upon like that? She swore to herself that she would become one of them one day!

As Tina and Jasmyn were talking, a loud noise came from the first floor. All three of them were tempted to look down with curiosity.

Upon looking, Rose’s heart filled with hatred.

Jack was fashioning a well-tailored black suit which highlighted his handsome feature remarkably, whereas Emily’s snow-white skin was glowing in her luxurious white dress. Elegance and poise exuded from her presence, natural but not superficial. She was like a ‘breath of fresh air’ in the banquet.

The two entered the hall, hand in hand. Their appearance drew the attention of numerous people in the hall.

Jack gave conventional greetings all the way through, never once forgetting to introduce the lady beside him as “My girlfriend, Emily”.

It seemed like he was very keen on announcing his sovereignty over her to people, so that everyone would know that Emily was his woman.

Rose stood above them, glaring at them from a safe distance. Her eyes were filled with intense hatred and envy.

Why should she stay here to suffer harsh words from these rich, spoiled girls? While Emily could march into the hall and become the focus of all the people at the party? Rose hated every moment of it!

Rose rolled her eyes and caught the disgusted expression on Tina’s face. Suddenly, she came across an idea. She pretended to be surprised when she blurted out,”How come the woman’s dress… Doesn’t she know that this reception is in honor of Miss Tina’s arrival?”

She muttered, but it was loud enough to be heard by Tina, as her facial expression became surlier.

That was her favorite dress. It suited her perfectly, and she wore it specifically for one man, but she never expected that someone else would wear the same dress as hers.

Damn it all!

Even if Tina would not admit it on her own, it was clear that the dress suited Emily better, and the glow on Emily’s skin doubled her temper!

“Who’s that girl? How dare she provoke you openly?” Jasmyn also felt indignant for her friend. She said,”Is it Jack who’s allowing her to be so bold?”

Tina didn’t say anything, as her piercing eyes fixated on Emily.

Rose took the opportunity and pretended to explain carefully,”She is Emily, Jack’s new girlfriend…”

“So, that’s her!” Jasmyn exclaimed. She remembered Rose hatefully speaking ill of Emily, so she poured them onto Tina by saying,”She is a sketchy person and a shameless, man-digging fox. She would flirt with any man…

I think Jack was brainwashed by her…”

Jasmyn continued to speak of things like plagiarism and false accusations; dirty rumors and her destructive involvement in other people’s love life. The only difference in Rose’s version was that the bad guy was Emily and Rose had turned into a pitiful victim.

“Oh, Tina, just let her speak her mind,” said Jasmyn.

Tina said, a little unwillingly,”Go on, then. Tell me about it.”

Rose had already cursed, the arrogant Tina over a hundred times in her heart. However, she spoke in a respectful tone,”We can find a way to distract Jack. When she is left alone, with no friends around in the banquet, you can do whatever you like to trick and hurt her.”

Tina ran the idea in her head for a while and then admitted that the idea was feasible. She said,”Then you go and get Jack distracted. Don’t tell me that you’re afraid of doing so.”

According to Rose’s own story, she once had a relation with Jack. She was the right person for the job.

Rose nodded hurriedly and said,”Yes, I can.”

“Do it right away, and if you do a good job, you will get lots of reward. But if you mess it up at the critical moment, you’ll see…”

“I will do my best.”

Rose bombarded Jack with messages, one after another, but Jack wasn’t looking on his phone, so she decided to call him instead.

As soon as Jack sat down with Emily, his cell phone rang in his pocket. He answered the phone casually, and heard the delicate, penetrating voice of Rose from the otherside.

“Jacky, I saw you.”

“Are you kidding?” Jack stood up immediately, as his keen eyes swept around to look for Rose.

This, however, drew Emily’s attention, as she couldn’t stop herself from asking,”What’s happening?”
