Seven Years of Marriage with Jake novel Chapter 9

But reality often doesn't go as planned.

It didn't develop in the direction they hoped.

Emily still didn't answer in the end.

Jake completely broke down.

After the last call was rejected, he suddenly raised his phone and smashed it on the ground in front of everyone.

The screen shattered into pieces, and his eyes were bloodshot with anger.

Just like when he attacked me in my past life.

I instinctively felt fear and couldn't help but take a step back.

I clutched my phone in my hand, ready to call the police at any moment.

Just as he was about to speak, Mr. Larson suddenly pushed the door open and came in.

Jake gave me a venomous look and could only leave in a sorry state.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I hurriedly packed my things and was discharged from the hospital.

I found a new place to live.

But before I could move, I heard the news that Jake had been arrested.

Because of a murder case.

The deceased was Emily.

She died at home.

I inquired and learned that Jake went straight to Emily's place after leaving the hospital that day.

He caught her packing her bags and trying to flee the country.

He grabbed her and questioned her why she wouldn't testify for him.

He dragged her towards the door as he spoke.

But Emily said without hesitation that she didn't want to be implicated by him.

It was too late now, nothing could clear his name.
