He grew increasingly panicked , tuning out Chloe's incessant calls beside him . Emily was also furious . She adored her sister - in - law and was truly disappointed in her brother now . In her eyes , her brother and Scarlett were the picture of marital bliss ! She never imagined her brother would be no different from the scumbags online . " Jacob ! " Her voice trembled with disappointment and tears . " How could you do something like this ! From now on , you're not my brother anymore ! " She cried , holding onto me . " I only have one sister - in - law ! " Jacob was flustered and at a complete loss . "Emily ... " Then he looked at me , my face cold but my eyes rimmed red . " Scarlett ... " Seeing this , Chloe's jealousy wrapped around her heart like vines . She stepped forward , linking her arm through Jacob's , and looked at Emily . " Emily , right ? I suppose I was somewhat at fault , but how can you speak to your brother like that ? " She glanced at the rigid man , her eyes full of affection . " Your brother and I are truly in love . I can be your sister - in - law in the future too , I- " Before she could finish , a slap landed squarely on her face . Her head snapped to the side . She glared at me , her eyes filled with hatred . I flexed my sore wrist . " You truly have no shame . " Jacob , seeing this , stepped forward and pulled me back , effectively blocking me from getting at Chloe . I looked at him and suddenly felt it was all meaningless . Those ten years - I must have misjudged him . you Unaware of my thoughts , the man continued pleading . " Scarlett , it's really not what think . She's just the manager of this restaurant . My employee . " Looking at the man who , even now , protected his mistress , whatever love had once bloomed in my heart withered away , leaving nothing but barren wasteland.My legs suddenly gave way , and I staggered back several steps . Emily rushed to steady me, her glare fixed on that damn mistress , teeth clenched in seething hatred . " Ugh ! " think you are ?! Let " " She quickly moved to shield me behind her , scolding Chloe . " What do you me tell you, as long as I , Emily Kingsley , am around , you will never set foot in the Kingsley Chesterf 75.00 % house ! " " You'll never earn a place at my brother's side ! " Chloe stamped her foot in anger , her eyes clouded with gloom . But faced with her potential future sister - in - law , she could only swallow her temper . Hah , once this little bitch is married off , the Kingsley household will be mine to rule ! she thought . For now , she pitifully tugged on Jacob's sleeve , looking utterly aggrieved.Jacob's temples were throbbing . He turned his head and , under Chloe's incredulous gaze , pulled his arm free . " Don't touch me ! " The security captain nearby was shaking , his face as pale as a ghost from the underworld . It's over . It's all over ! He'd gotten it wrong - mistaken the legal wife for the mistress ! The onlookers exchanged glances , discussing in shocked whispers . " Holy crap , so the mistress was throwing her weight around and ended up bullying the real wife ? And now she's been caught red - handed ? " Chloe naturally heard this and was furious , wishing she could throw these clueless idiots out . Mistress ?! She and Jacob were true love ! True love wasn't an affair ! Just as Jacob , his temples aching , was about to say something , hurried footsteps and exclamations came from the entrance . " Emily ! " " Scarlett ! " Everyone looked over , not yet understanding the identities of the two new arrivals . A well - dressed woman stepped forward and delivered a resounding slap to Jacob's face . " You bastard ! " " What have you done ?! " The crowd gasped , too afraid to make a sound . Jacob turned his head but didn't talk back . Instead , he stepped forward to hold the woman . " Mom , let's all go home and talk about this , okay ? " " Home ? " The woman was beside herself with anger . " What home is left ?! You've torn this family apart ! " The diners looked at each other , wide - eyed . " So that's Chairman and Mrs. Kingsley ! Looks like they're here to give the mistress a beating ! " Seeing her parents finally arrive , Emily tearfully went over to them . She poured out everything that had happened , venting all her grievances . " We were just taking pictures , and this woman came in , insulting us and attacking us ! " Mr. Kingsley looked at my swollen cheek , his anger rising . He shot Jacob a fierce glare . Mrs. Kingsley , however , took my somewhat dazed self , pulled out a wet wipe , and gently cleaned the filth from my face and hair . " Scarlett ... " She seemed at a loss for words . Although Mr. Kingsley had 75.00 % never cheated , she understood all too well how a woman would feel at a time like this . I shook my head and avoided her hand . Mrs. Kingsley was taken aback , uncertainty and panic . flashing in her eyes . This family ... is falling apart .
