A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 64 Don't Blame Me For Being Rude

"Nothing."Instead of explaining in detail to Emily, Jack simply said,"I have to take this call."

Emily nodded and left him alone.

On the other end of the line, Rose heard Emily's voice. Her mood darkened as she said, solemnly,"Jack, I have something important to tell you."

Jack was trying hard not to show his impatience, as he walked a few more steps away from Emily and then asked,"What's the matter?"

"I want to talk to you face to face."

"I'm not available right now. Just say it over the phone."

"No, it is very important. It concerns the both of us."Rose used to be obedient towards Jack, but this time she insisted,"Jack, I need to see you."

"Don't beat around the bush--- just tell me what you want, or I'll hang up."

Rose got anxious when she heard that, so she quickly added,"Jack, I just want to see you to make things clear between us. If you don't want to come to me, I'll come to you."

"Are you threatening me?"Jack's jaw suddenly dropped to the floor.

He didn't want Rose to appear before Emily yet.

"No, I really have something important to tell you."

Jack glanced over to look at Emily, who was eating not too far away. After much deliberation, he compromised reluctantly,"Okay, but if this is another one of your games, you will be sorry. Now tell me, where are you?"

With a big smile of accomplishment on her face, Rose nodded to Tina and Jasmyn and gave Jack her whereabouts.

"Emily, I have to talk to the members of Tao clan. Just wait for me here and don't walk around, okay?" Jack had already found an excuse for leaving and lying to Emily.

Emily had no reasons to doubt him. She replied,"Okay, go ahead. I'll wait for you."

Just a few minutes after Jack left, Tina and Jasmyn went downstairs and walked straight to Emily, which attracted some unwanted attention from the people around them.

"Emily?"Tina raised her chin and looked at Emily, who was still eating, and said haughtily,"Why are you hiding out here and stuffing your face with food? Haven't you ever eaten anything like this in your life? You're just a good for nothing bum..."

Emily was just sitting there, enjoying her slice of cake and minding her own business, when she was rudely interrupted by the two beautiful ladies standing behind her, with contemptuous expressions on their faces.

"Young lady, isn't food supposed to be eaten? If the food here is not for entertaining guests, then is it for decoration?"

"You..."Tina couldn't refute instantly, as her beautiful face turned red with anger.

Jasmyn quickly added,"It's clearly your fault. How dare you act so righteous and arrogant?"

Puzzled, Emily asked helplessly,"What have I done? How could it be my fault?"

"This is Tina's party, and you're wearing the same dress as her. Are you deliberately provoking her?"

Emily didn't realize that she was wearing the same dress as Tina until Jasmyn pointed it out to her. She felt embarrassed for ruining the party for them, albeit unintentionally. "Sorry, I did not mean to offend you," she apologized honestly.

In truth, it was not Emily's fault at all. Jack chose the dress for her, so she put on the dress and came here without thinking twice.

"Who do you think you are?"Glaring at Emily's soft, white skin, Tina's eyes were full of envy and contempt. "Do you think that you deserve to wear the same dress as me?I want you to change it right now!" Tina demanded.

"What?"Emily was nonplussed by her demand.

She didn't bring any spare clothes with her. How could she change her dress there and then? Did this woman want her to be naked in public?

The situation had already escalated too quickly!

Tsk, tsk. "Did you hear me?" Tina asked again with a smug expression. She continued in a stroppy tone,"Or do you need someone to help you undress?"

She spoke in a sharp, disrespectful tone. The guests had already gathered around to see what was going on, but no one spoke on behalf of Emily.

Everyone in the upper circle knew that Tina, who was regarded as the apple of the eyes of the Tao clan, was very shrewd and unreasonable. No one dared to offend her, because of her strong family ties.

Those present were sufficiently worldly-wise to understand the situation. Emily was just girlfriend of Jack Gu. Even when they saw that Tina was being unfair, they gladly turned a blind eye to her deeds.

Tina's family was immensely powerful and influential. Who would be foolish enough to offend Tina for an irrelevant woman?

Emily soon realized that Tina was deliberately trying to embarrass her. She had a feeling that maybe it wasn't due to the conflict caused by a dress.

"If I refuse?"With more and more people gathering around, Emily clenched her fists and took a deep breath.

Tina sneered,"Then don't blame me for being rude."

As the words fell from Tina's lips, Emily took the delicate pair of scissors from the table that had been used to cut lobsters.

Before everyone could figure out what she was going to do, Emily had already cut off the hemline of her dress with scissors.

Within a minute, Emily's dress was changed into a new style. The original sleeveless design was changed into a one-shoulder style. The ankle-length skirt was cut to her thighs to reveal her straight and thin legs. The remaining cloth was cut into strips and made into a belt, which made her waist appear leaner.

Satisfied with her new dress, it seemed like Emily had transformed from a fairy to a playful elf.

Everyone present there could not help but praise and applaud Emily's quick wit and creativity.

What a pair of skilful hands! What a sharp mind!

"Miss Tao, now I'm not wearing the same dress as you. Problem solved!"Emily said politely, in a tone that was neither too humble nor too pushy.

Surely Emily hit a nerve, because Tina's face suddenly twitched in anger as she said,"How opportunistic of you!"

Seeing as how Tina had nothing else to say, Jasmyn helplessly, grabbed Tina's hands and said,"Tina, we should leave."

'No!

Emily is in the limelight because she humiliated me!'

Tina, who was congenitally self-centered, didn't even think that she was the first one to make trouble to Emily. Instead, she blamed Emily from the heart for offending her!

'I am the star of this party. How can Emily even dream of taking my place? Who is she, compared to me?'

"Do not rejoice." Tina fixated on Emily's dress and sneered,"Not same style, but it is still same color."

Same color?

Some people were starting to get worried about themselves. Emily wasn't the only person wearing white there. Lady Tina was being too immature and fickle over a dress.

When they realized that Tina was only concerned with Emily, they put their worries to rest and watched the drama without getting involved.

Due to Emily's outstanding performance, they were looking forward to see what she would do next.

However, before Emily could speak, Tina quickly took up a glass of red wine and poured it on her.
