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
After hesitating for a moment, Emmeline explained, "I went outside the city today." Upon hearing this, Keira was stunned. Confused, she asked, "What were you doing outside the city?" Emmeline didn't want Keira to know about everything, so she chose not to tell the truth. Therefore, she answered perfunctorily, "I was there to do something." After that, she immediately changed the subject. "If you are free for the next few days, we should hang out together. I'm thinking of buying two sets of clothes tomorrow, and I'll pay you back two days later." Hearing Emmeline's words, Keira nodded. "Sure! Actually, I have asked for leave to accompany you these two days. As for the money, you may use it first, and we'll talk about it later." In fact, Keira knew that Emmeline didn't have much money now, and she wouldn't tell everything. On the other hand, Emmeline knew what Keira was thinking, but at this moment, explaining couldn't help much, so she cou
In Jara's arms, there was a gorgeous woman who wore a wine-red dress with a slit opened up to her thigh. With one slight move, what was underneath her dress could be easily exposed. At that moment, she was snuggling up in Jara's arms. In fact, she had a deep cleavage. As long as it was a normal man, he would probably not be able to refrain from groping her breasts. As for Jara, he was leaning leisurely, with one hand placing on her waist and the other propping his head, looking like a hooligan. Meanwhile, the sudden arrival of Emmeline had ruined the amorous atmosphere between the two of them. With his eyes narrowed, Jara looked up at Emmeline. Despite being disturbed, he didn't show a single hint of annoyance. On the contrary, the woman exclaimed and quickly covered her high slit. "Who are you? How can you barge in just like that? Don't you know that we're busy?" Busy? Busy with what? Having sex? As Emmeline was thinki
Thus, he didn't have to inform Jara of such a matter. Uncle Poick went straight to his study and transferred one hundred thousand dollars from the castle's business account to a bank card. Then, he took the bank card and went to find Emmeline. Unfortunately, the moment he left the tower, he bumped into Kayla, who had just returned from the main building. Basically, this castle was huge. Aside from the main building, it had four more towers. Jara lived in the main building while Kayla lived in Tower B. As for the remaining three towers, they were all empty. Initially, when Emmeline came over, Uncle Poick thought that Jara would arrange for her to stay in one of the empty towers. However, Jara let her stay in the same building as Kayla. Besides, he even said that there were not many servants in the castle. So, if she stayed too far, it would be inconvenient to take care of her. Actually, Uncle Poick knew very well that there were dozens of servan
