For a moment, Keira hesitated before she said, "Emmeline, if you don't go back with me, you won't have anywhere else to go! Your friends... are all dead, aren't they?" Keira was right. Those good friends that Emmeline once thought either betrayed her or... died. In fact, Jara was the one who personally killed them. Until now, she would never forget the way her best friends stared at her before they died. It was the look of being ruthlessly betrayed after completely trusted someone. At that very moment, she finally knew that she was not only be regarded as a traitor by the Lost Vanguard. Even the people of the Salvation Club also thought that she had a special relationship with Jara and secretly helped him when both sides were battling. Therefore, before her best friends died, they had questioned her. "Why did you betray us? I thought we are besties." Why was that so? Oh, as if she knew the answer. From the beginning to the en
And in front of everyone, Emmeline had accidentally killed the person Jara loved the most, Cassidy Micheal. She was the woman who broke into the prison earlier. At that moment, the snow-white ground was stained with bright red blood. With a grim expression, Jara just stood there and looked at her. Even though they were only three or four years apart, it seemed like there was a gap between them, and there was no way they could get close to each other again. While looking into his eyes, Emmeline opened her mouth, trying to explain something. However, Jara did not give her the chance. Instead, he ordered his men to take hold of her. At first, she thought that he would kill her. But he didn't. He just imprisoned her in another place. That time, she did not know what he was trying to do and what he was thinking about. She only understood that the gap between them was getting bigger and bigger as if it couldn't be amended anymore. Thinkin
Emmeline frowned slightly and chuckled, "I think you are right." "But I don't want to return to the Murray Family. Do you have any other place to live outside? Why don't I stay with you for a few days first?" "Place to live outside?" For a moment, Keira pondered before she reacted, "Actually, I do have another place to stay, but that is our company's staff dormitory. The surroundings are bad, so I am worried that you won't feel comfortable there." "That isn't a problem for me." Without hesitation, Emmeline interrupted Keira. Looking at Emmeline, Keira furrowed her brows because she didn't really feel like taking Emmeline to that kind of place. After all, that kind of place... Seeing that Keira was troubled, Emmeline smiled and assured, "Don't worry, I'll just live there for two days." With that, Keira nodded and agreed, "Okay then." After that, the two of them turned around and left. Inside the black Rolls-Royce, Jara lo
After all, the Murray Family was pretty well-known here. However, thanks to Mr. Murray, this family had fallen into decay. Alisha and Aurelia knew that Keira had an older sister who hadn't been living with her since young, but they didn't know anything other than that. Therefore, they were astonished at the sight of Emmeline. They didn't expect her to be so attractive and graceful. At that time, Emmeline wore a simple dress. She had ear-length short hair, which further enhanced her beauty. Not only did she look neat and stunning, but she gave off a sense of purity at the same time. Yes, purity. They couldn't imagine how a person could maintain this sort of temperament after spending four years in prison. After a while, the both of them came back to their senses and greeted Emmeline happily. "Hi! Nice to meet you, Emmeline," they greeted politely. To that, Emmeline nodded and responded with a smile. After that, Keir
Jara looked at her coldly, but he did not take her words into his heart and demanded, "Get in!" Upon hearing that, Emmeline smiled. She was still as negligent as usual, except that her eyes were colder this time. "Where are we going?" Jara didn't answer her. Instantly, the atmosphere between them became unusually silent and awkward. Even Quan broke out in a cold sweat. After a while, Jara uttered in a low voice, "Why? Are you afraid that I will kill you?" "Ha!" As soon as he finished speaking, Emmeline sneered. Then, without a word, she opened the door and got in the car. The door was closed with a slam, and the car fell into silence. Quan went white as he was wondering what was going to happen next. Through the rearview mirror, he looked at Jara while quacking in his boots. After that, Jara instructed, "Take us to The Grim Hills." Upon receiving his order, Quan agreed and quickly started the car.
The mountain road was tough. As there were not many visitors here, the road was not well-maintained. All of the paths were made of bluestone, and there were built many years ago. Perhaps because of the rain two days before, the steps were damped. On the edge of the steps, there were green mosses. If they were not careful enough and stepped on the mosses, they would easily slip. Therefore, Emmeline walked steadily while watching out her steps. Meanwhile, Jara was walking rapidly as if he was not troubled by the steep steps. As Emmeline was walking behind him, she could see his huge back the moment she looked up. Under the golden sunset, his lonely and desolate back blended well with the boundless forests, which gave off a taste of wilderness. Looking at his back, she pressed her lips together. Then, she quickened her pace to catch up with him. About half an hour later, when it was almost 5 o'clock, they arrived at the cemetery.
Instantly, Emmeline's eyes turned cold, and she shot a cold stare at him. When Jara knew he had achieved his intention, a trace of pride flashed across his eyes. For the whole time, he was an influential figure to everyone around him. However, in front of Emmeline, he was smug like a kid. Seeing that, Emmeline sneered. "It's been four years since we last met, but you're still as shameless as ever!" she insulted. Hearing her curse, Jara was not angry. On the contrary, he became more complacent. He lifted his chin and replied, "Well, same to you." His words infuriated Emmeline, and she was at a loss for words. Upon seeing this, Jara finally let go of her and went inside. Emmeline touched her chin which was in pain. Since he pinched so hard, there must be a pinch mark on it. When she thought of how annoying he was just now, she was pissed off. Even so, staring at his back, she held back her anger and followed him.
Instantly, the coldness in Jara's eyes grew even more intense. Then, he rebuked coldly, "Are you threatening me?" Hearing that, Emmeline sighed. Shaking her head, she walked to his side. "Oh my god, how can you say that? I'm just analyzing the pros and cons for you. If you refuse to cooperate with me, that's fine. I heard that the Sapphire family was also eyeing this map recently. They must be very interested!" "Since you turn down this opportunity, I'll find them. After all, I've met Seven several times, and I like her a lot." "I heard that she's from the Sapphire family, and after all, we are close. So, instead of giving someone else, I think it's better to give goodies like this to the people I like." "Yeap, I think this is the best way. With that, I can finally reminisce about the old days with her. Anyhow, I really miss her after not seeing her for a few years." The more she spoke, the darker Jara's face became. Finally, when she fin
