It was as if a stone was thrown into the lake. Jara's heart trembled. He couldn't explain why, but somehow he began to feel a little distress. With a sullen face, he remained gloomy, but his eyes darkened a little. "Emmeline, I said, come here, let's discuss about it again." "There's nothing to discuss." Emmeline's voice was a little cold, hinting at an obvious sense of exhaustion. "Jara, you lost the game to me today. Didn't we agree the loser would owe the winner a favor?" Hearing that, Jara didn't say anything. Then, she continued, "Consider it this then. From now on, there is no need for us to meet again. If we do meet again, it will be on life or death terms. I have told you before that I won't let my people in the Salvation Club to die in vain." After finishing her words, she ignored him and turned to walk outside. Suddenly, she heard him shouting from behind. "Stop her!" As soon as he finished his words, several strong
The rest of the treasure was all hidden on a map. This map had been kept by Jara for a long time, and he was unable to decipher the code. Coincidentally, when Emmeline was in prison, she managed to figure out something, and that was how she won the opportunity to cooperate with him. At the moment, both of them were silent. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was as silent as grave. After a while, Jara said, "Once the news of the Jade of Heaven broke out, the Salvation Club and the Lost Vanguard, as the two major organizations locally, immediately got into a fight to obtain the treasure. When the two sides were in a tussle, all of a sudden, the deepest secrets of each party were leaked out." "I admit that I used you at that time, but if I didn't do that, the fight had already begun and we would have all died!" "In truth, which party benefited from the tussle? Even though we have won the fight against the Salvation Club, we were severely weakened. Later, the L
Seeing that she was silent, he raised his head and glanced at her. Emmeline pursed her lips, and after a while, she said, "I've made up my mind." Hearing that, Jara didn't change his expression, but a dim light flickered in the depths of his eyes. "What's your decision?" Then, Emmeline said in a low voice, "I admit that four years ago, we were indeed deceived, but you ignored my plea and killed my people. Those were the facts. I can't pretend that it didn't happen." When her words came out, Jara's face darkened. "So, does that mean you have to go against me?" Hearing that, Emmeline was silent for a moment and continued, "In the past, I always thought that when I was released, I must take revenge on you, so that I could live up to their deaths." "But now, I know that everything was fuelled by their greed. It happened because some people had already given up the Salvation Club long ago, and turned to the Icarus Association." "For tha
The only one left was Emmeline. Therefore, Kayla came to her directly without a second thought. But judging from how Emmeline looked now, she was not at all frighten to let Kayla search her room. Did she really not take it? In the meantime, Kayla's thoughts were all over the place. However, since she was already here, she didn't want to waste making the trip for nothing. So she braced himself and said, "I'm searching! Humph." After that, she went into the room with her maid Millay. Throughout the process, the two of them rummaged in the room, and Emmeline sat on the sofa without even looking at them. On the contrary, when Yunne, her personal maid, walked in to bring Emmeline a cup of tea and saw the scene, her eyes widened in shock. "Miss Illington, w—what are they doing?" Seeing that, Yunne was a little anxious. However, Emmeline remained as still as a mountain when she replied in a low voice, "Yunne, don't stop them. Let
As she spoke, the blade moved from Kayla's ears to her neck. The cold blade made her tremble vigorously and she was about to cry. "Emmeline, y—you. If you have something to say, let's talk nicely..." No matter how bold and reckless Kayla was, after all, she was just a pampered young lady who had been raised in a wealthy family since young. She had never been threatened by someone with a knife like this before. Therefore, as soon as she felt the cold blade moving across her skin, she completely gave in. However, Emmeline did not intend to let her go that easily. Her eyes darkened as she continued, "By the way, you don't know what I used to do, do you?" In response, Kayla shook her head, "No, I don't." "Why don't... you make a guess? If you can guess it right, I'll let you go." When Kayla heard this, she was secretly cursing her for being a crazy woman. Nevertheless, she was afraid to say anything and could only muster the courage t
Emmeline didn't think of herself as someone kind-hearted, and she certainly didn't have a good temper. For the first few rounds of provocations, she was williing to dismiss them. Previously, when they were at the golf course, Kayla had deliberately come to look for trouble and splashed water all over her face. Since she gave her a slap in return, she thought they were even. So in general, Kayla actually didn't take any advantage of her. But even so, when facing someone as annoying as Kayla, Emmeline had lost her patience. She disliked this kind of conflict, especially the intrigue between women. Although with her abilities, she was definitely able to handle it. However, she was only annoyed and tired, not wanting to deal with it. For this reason, it was better to give her a lesson and scare her away, so she wouldn't dare to provoke her again in the future. The thought that she would have peace in the future made Emmeline feel a lot
Meanwhile, on the other end. In the study of the main building. Jara was in the middle of an international conference call. The meeting was not about him, but about Holland Group in Flaucford. Although he was not in Sapleusia, he needed to take charge of Holland Group's affairs. As he was still in control of the company, he had to manage and guide the company in the right direction as well as giving out advice. Therefore, Jara was actually very busy. In the meantime, he heard someone knocking at the door. After allowing the person to come in, he looked up and realized it was Isaac. As his eyes moved slightly, he said a few words to the senior leaders in the company in the call before dismissing the meeting and turning off the computer. "Have you talked to her?" Without beating around the bush, he went straight to the point. In response, Isaac nodded. Seeing that, Jara raised his eyebrows. Then, he picked up a cup on the
Of course, Keira could not wait to leave, so she packed up her things and left without thinking. At that moment, she had just moved out of the dormitory when she received a phone call from Emmeline. Immediately, she was excited to meet her. The two of them arranged to meet at foreign restaurant. The well-decorated restaurant was unlike any average foreign restaurant on the main street. Not only the ingredients were delicious, but the atmosphere and decor were also top-notch. It was Keira's first time to dine in a place like this. When she came in, she felt a little uneasy. As the waiter led her to the private room on the second floor, it was not until she saw Emmeline sitting in the room that she was finally able to relax. "Emmeline!" Immediately, she shouted her name and walked over with a smile. When Emmeline looked up and realized it was Keira, she greeted her with a smile. "You're here! Have a seat." Following that, Keira walk
