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
In the living room of the main building. Jara had already changed his clothes and was waiting there. Today, he wore a white casual outfit. Without his usual solemn temperament, he looked bright and handsome as if he had time-traveled back to his college years. Sitting next to him was a man who looked ruffled, leaning on the sofa and eating grapes. "Say, Jara, did you suddenly change your personality? Didn't you say that you will never wait for a woman? Now, which beauty are you waiting for today?" Isaac had arrived since early in the morning, so he had been sitting there for a while. In the meantime, Jara was browsing through the news on his iPad when he gave Isaac a look. His expression was as cold as ice. "If you're impatient, you can leave first." When Isaac heard the response, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly added. "Hey, don't take it seriously. I'm just joking with you." As he spoke, his body relaxed and
Along with Kayla, Jara got into the Rolls-Royce. On the other hand, Emmeline was standing there for a few seconds before Isaac caught up behind. He was a shrewd and sharp-witted person, so when he saw Jara and Kayla getting into the first car, he couldn't bear to see Emmeline feeling awkward. Immediately, he walked up to her with a smile and said, "Miss Illington, if you don't mind, can I take a car with you?" While Emmeline didn't present any expression on her face, she opened the door of the Lexus and stepped into the car. At the same time, she replied, "Whatever." Again, Isaac was stumped. He felt as if Jara and Emmeline were a couple in a quarrel, and he was sandwiched in the middle, acting as a punching bag. But as he thought of the immense feud between them, he shook his head and didn't bother too much about it. Instead, he walked over to the other side and got into the car. The golf course was not far away from the castle and it w
