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
Raya was puzzled. Although she didn't want to admit it, she agreed that both of Mrs. Holland's sons were indeed not as good as Jara. So, after hesitating for a while, she finally told the truth, "No... they can't." Hearing that, Mrs. Holland chuckled nonchalantly. Then, she sighed, "You are right. They can't win against Jara. Besides, Claus is not young anymore, and everyone knows that Jara will eventually take over the Holland family in the future. As his stepmother, I never raised him, nor did I live with him. I'm sure that his only affection toward me is even lesser than a random servant here." "So if one day, Claus dies of old age, how will my sons and I spend the rest of our lives?" Upon hearing Mrs. Holland's words, Raya was bewildered. With that, she realized that she had only judged a situation from the surface and was dissatisfied with Jara's attitude toward Mrs. Holland. She should've thought deeper about it. Once again, Mrs. Ho
Since the food and accommodation were covered, and she didn't need to spend at all, so it was only reasonable to hand her the money to act as an investment. It was only then that Keira was relieved from her doubts and worries as she took the money with peace of mind. After that, Emmeline didn't stay at her place for long before she left. When she came back, she found a strange car parked outside. Raising her eyebrows, she got out of the car, and right away, she heard a woman roaring before even entering the house. "Who allowed you to let her in? She was banned from stepping into the Holland Residence a long time ago. Don't you know that?" Hearing that the woman was roaring in undisguised anger, Emmeline turned to look at Uncle Poick, who was standing next to her respectfully and quietly. However, she noticed he had his head down as if he had not heard anything. A sudden look of understanding flashed across her eyes as Emmeline squinted and th
Just when everyone thought that today's scene would end with Emmeline being thrown out mercilessly by the Holland family, suddenly, a cold and mellow voice was heard coming from the door. "What are you doing?" A tall and slender figure came in sight along with a clear and crisp sound of leather shoes stepping on the marble floor. As the man stood by the door against the light, everyone in the living room couldn't have a good look at his face clearly, but from his deep voice, they could tell that he was a little unhappy. The presence of the man was like a pebble that suddenly fell into the bottom of the lake, immediately stirring up ripples in everyone's heart. Only, the ripples were of different intensities. In an instant, Mrs. Holland's face turned pale while Raya's hand froze in mid-air; the other servants and Uncle Poick had their heads lowered. However, Uncle Poick shifted his hands that were previously clasped in front of his body respectfully, signa
