People in the circle always said that Emily Sanders was the best lapdog Jake Phantom ever had. How was Emily the best? When Jake had a one-night stand with someone at a hotel, it was Emily who went to buy the condoms. Everyone said that she had no shame, but Emily didn't care. That was until one night, when she suddenly realized the man that she had been with for three years, was nothing like her teenage crush. She remained silent, turned on her heels, and left. Everyone around her was mocking her, saying that she was playing hard to get. Even Jake thought the same. That was until when he saw the photo in Emily's purse. The young man in the photo had similar eyes to his. Jake's turned red and he went crazy. That night when he got into a car accident after speeding, Jake begged Emily on the phone. "I'm hurt, Emily. Can you come and check on me?" A man's snort sounded on the other end of the line. "You're actually begging someone, Mr. Phantom. Are you going to be a simp now? ...... Luke Freeman was known for his domineering attitude. He looked down on everyone. When he was 18, he was sent to his grandmother's house to learn to be mature. That was when he bumped into a little girl who was three years younger than him, Emily. From that moment onward, the domineering young man became a caring big brother and began helping Emily with her homework every day. His childhood friend would tease him, saying he was trying to get himself a future wife. Luke looked at the girl who was doing her homework next to him and blurted out, "It's none of your business." During his second year of university, Emily looked up at him with pitiful eyes and confessed her feelings for him. "Luke, please can you wait for me? I'll grow up eventually." The girl's feelings were passionate and pure. This made Luke feel a little uneasy. His heart still raced when they met again years later.

Gary's voice was filled with mockery and disdain.Wendy's body trembled with anger and her face was pale.She had never been so mad at a man in her life.She took a deep breath in an attempt to calm herself down, but her heart was still pounding quicker and quicker. It was as if her heart was going to explode.Wendy closed her eyes as she forced herself to remain calm.When she opened them again, her eyes looked completely calm."Yes, you're right. We've already broken up." Wendy's voice was cold and firm.She sounded like she didn't care.Gary was a little taken aback. He didn't expect Wendy to admit so easily that they had broken up.He thought Wendy would continue to make a fuss or beg him to get back together with her. After all, Wendy was the person who pursued him to begin with.However, only
Emily yelled, "Wendy, where are you going?"Wendy was hurriedly putting on her shoes. She gritted her teeth and replied, "Going to find that heartless scumbag and settle things."Emily, hearing this, quickly stretched out her arms to block her. "It's pitch dark outside, and you've just been discharged from the hospital. Your leg is still not fully healed—why are you going to find him?"Wendy paused as if suddenly realizing something. "You are right. My leg hasn't recovered yet."With that, her gaze intensified, falling on Emily."Emily, you should come with me! You'll beat him up for me when we get there."Emily looked at her helplessly, "Wendy, don't be so impulsive! We can talk this through calmly."Wendy widened her eyes in anger, grumbling, "No way! That guy is a jerk, I must go and settle the score with him!"Emily quickly tried to calm her down. "Alright, alright, let's just calm down first."Wendy was unamused. "Calm down my ass. That bastard has been using my money to
"Then why haven't you broken up yet?""I’m waiting for the right opportunity?"Emily paused. "Has the opportunity come now?"Wendy nodded. "It should be coming soon."Just as she finished speaking, Wendy's phone rang. She picked up the phone and saw a new message notification flashing on the screen.She gently tapped the screen, and a conversation window popped up showing a breakup message from Gary.Her brows slightly furrowed, but the corner of her mouth lifted into a barely noticeable smile as she said softly, "And here it is."Then, she handed the phone to Emily, who was sitting beside her, and smiled. "Take a look, he’s a true scumbag. Says he has no feelings anymore."Emily took the phone, glanced at the message, and a hint of disgust appeared on her face as she said, "I didn't have a good impression of him that day either."Wendy looked at Emily curiously and asked, "What happened?"Emily then told Wendy exactly what had happened that day.When Wendy heard it, she imm
The day Wendy was discharged from the hospital, it was Emily who went to the hospital to help her with the discharge paperwork.As for her little boyfriend, Wendy said they had fought again and he had started playing hide-and-seek.Emily was a little speechless but didn't say anything.After leaving the hospital, Wendy suggested going shopping to help her buy some daily necessities.The two of them went directly to the supermarket. After buying what they needed, they took a taxi to Emily's small apartment.Wendy sat in the living room, surveying the room's environment. Looking at Emily who was washing vegetables in the kitchen, she said, "Emily, your place is too cramped. There’s no space to move around if there are two nore people in here."Emily responded while washing the vegetables, "I think it's quite nice. Besides, it's close to several companies I applied to.""You've started looking for a job?"Emily nodded. "Yes, but I haven't found one yet."As soon as she finished s
Emily found herself both amused and helpless. Half-joking, she said, "I guess I'll have to keep my distance from you from now on.""You don't need to.""I'm afraid you'll get triggered and punch me."Luke immediately became displeased. "Emily, are you asking for trouble?"Emily chuckled. "You see..."Luke remained silent for several seconds before saying, "Don't worry. I won't punch you."Emily paused but didn't respond.Luke continued, "Now that you know all my embarrassing stories, shouldn't you tell me some of yours in return?"Emily was slightly stunned. "Me?"Luke responded, waiting for Emily to continue.Emily opened her mouth, "I don't have anything to say.""I've shared my story with you. Are you not going to share? Isn't that a little inappropriate?"Emily was a little speechless. "You're the one who wanted to tell the story, not me..."Before she could finish, Luke interrupted, "Who said I wanted to listen? I'm just curious."Emily muttered under her breath, "Wh
Emily lowered her eyes, fell silent for a moment, then quickly denied, "No, it's just that I misunderstood."There was a slight pause on the other end, and his tone became heavier. "Then which of my actions made you come to that misunderstanding?"Emily felt a wave of embarrassment, staying silent for a while, then explained in a soft voice, "The last time at Jake's house, I overheard what Liam said, that's why I misunderstood.""Is there another reason?""Also, when you helped me put on the band-aid at your grandmother's house."As she spoke, Emily's voice grew softer, almost like the hum of a mosquito.Luke suddenly chuckled.Emily felt both embarrassed and angry, clutching the phone tightly, secretly annoyed in her heart.She didn't need to think to know that the man on the other end was probably mocking her stupidity and childishness."Well, Emily, you really are..."Before Luke could finish his sentence, Emily impatiently interrupted/ "Okay, no need to say more, I unders
Emily carefully looked at the address on the package, it was indeed hers, and the name was also hers.She gently opened the bag, and the aroma of beef and tomatoes filled her nose.Suddenly, her phone on the table vibrated. Feeling a little suspicious, Emily walked over and picked it up.It was a call from Luke.She froze for a moment before pressing the answer button. "Hello?"As soon as she spoke, a deep, magnetic voice from the other end of the line came through. "Did you get it?"Emily, still in a daze, replied in confusion, "What?""I knew you'd get so caught up in things that you'd forget to eat, so I ordered takeaway for you."Only then did Emily realize what Luke was talking about. "So it was you who ordered it?""Yeah, surprised?""How did you know the address?""I helped you move, of course I knew."Emily hadn't expected that he had specifically asked for her full address. She tightened her grip on the phone, her heart suddenly racing uncontrollably.She tried to
Emily was a little surprised, as if she had heard something unbelievable. "Are you guys going to help me move my luggage to my house?""What else?"Emily awkwardly smiled and quickly led them towards the elevator.She rented a place on the 19th floor. Although the environment downstairs was a bit shabby, the apartment inside was filled with a warm atmosphere. The simple one-bedroom apartment felt like a cozy little nest, just the right size to contain her dreams and hopes.However, for the two men who were both over 5.9 feet in height, the space in here was a bit small. Just by standing in the living room, even Emily felt a little crowded, as if the room was struggling to breathe."Emily, your place is too small,""I live alone, it's not small.""Well, it'll be inconvenient for me to visit in the future."Emily's lips twitched.She thought to herself, ‘I don’t think I’ve ever invited you.’With that, she turned to look at Luke.Since entering, Luke had said nothing, wanderin
Helen choked on her words, her voice intermittent. "I... I don't want money."Liam spoke without mercy. "You don't want money? Do you want to get beaten again? Be smart. Take the money and go to a hospital."After that, he left one of his business cards and sternly warned her. "If you don't have enough money, contact me. And by the way, I'll remind you, my friend's temper is like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode. Don't mess with him."Upon hearing this, Helen nervously raised her eyes to look at Luke.When their eyes met and she saw the cold, murderous look in his gaze, she recoiled, like a frightened rabbit, and began to sob softly.Liam shook his head helplessly and walked in front of Luke, trying to persuade him earnestly. "Luke, why are you so impulsive?"Luke's face remained as dark as ever. He said nothing, took off his expensive jacket, and threw it into the nearby bin as if it were garbage. He then strode toward the car park.Liam glanced at the discarded jacket wit
People in the circle always said that Emily Sanders was the best bootlicker Jake Phantom ever had.Even if Jake had humiliated her countless times, Emily would still appear in front of him, as soon as he called her.Others would always say that Emily had no shame. She knew Jake didn't like her, but would still try and please him.Jake's friend teased him, "Emily's crazily in love with you, Jake. When are you going to marry her?""How is a third-rate woman worthy of marrying me?" Jake replied casually.When Jake was saying that, Emily just happened to be standing at the door. She froze while opening the door.Emily looked down. 'I'm a third-rate woman? But you're not worthy either, Jake.'When Emily opened the door and walked inside the room, everyone in the room fell silent.All of them looked like they were enjoying a show as they looked at Emily.About half an hour ago, Jake called Emily, who was giving him the silent treatment, to come to the club.Everyone was guessing wh...
