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
In fact, when Emmeline and Jara were still getting along back then, she already knew that there were guards nearby. It was just that at that time, they were guarding openly, but now they were doing it in secret It was obvious that Jara had significantly raised the level of security in the castle. As a professional killer, she was used to getting familiar with her surroundings in the first place. However, she hadn't put too much thought into the presence of the guards. After all, Jara's identity was special. Furthermore, the Holland family was very rich! The riches were usually afraid to die. So surely they ought to hire a few people who were actually capable of protecting them every day, lest someone lost their minds and decided to rob them with guns and cannons one day. There were many psychotic people in this world who despised the rich. Although that was the case, Emmeline still kept an eye on them. Taking advantage of a dark and windy night, s
Her heavy footsteps were as if a hammer was steadily hitting on one's heart. It was not painful, but one could feel her darkness and sorrow. As soon as Emmeline disappeared into her bedroom, the door of the study was quietly opened. With a cup in his hand, Jara happened to see her door being closed up, Then, he raised his eyebrows. Suddenly, a man was heard laughing at Jara through his earpiece. "Boss, Ma'am has already taken the initiative to come to you in the middle of the night. Why didn't you show some love?" The man was teasing him over the earpiece. Meanwhile, Jara's lips were pressed into a thin line, as the scene two minutes ago appeared in this mind, where Emmeline was in her maroon-colored pajamas, lazily leaning against the door of his study. Then, his eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "It seems like you're pretty free recently. Should I call Sumo here to train with you?" "Ah! No, no!" Immediately, the man took back his words. "Bo
