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
However, after taking a glance at Emmeline, Keira was taken aback. She saw that Emmeline was still leaning on the chair, with a faint smile that was lingering at the corner of her lips. Her eyes were as bright as usual, and she didn't seem angry at all. Stunned, she was confused upon seeing her reaction, and she asked tentatively, "Emmeline, aren't you... angry?" Hearing that, Emmeline raised her eyebrows. "Why should I be angry?" "I..." Keira bit her lip and stopped talking. But Emmeline smiled. Then, she said softly, "You're only worried about me, and you didn't mean to criticize me. The truth is always hard to hear. I understand where you're coming from." Hearing her words, Keira heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she quickly added. "Emmeline, it's good that you understand my intention. Do you still want to leave?" In response, Emmeline nodded. Following that, she poured herself a cup of tea, then leaned forward to fill
However, it was obvious that he was not to let her go so easily. So, even when he found out that she had been knocked down, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned the car around and tried to hit her again. As Emmeline noticed Keira, who was also stumbling and running toward her like crazy, her eyes turned cold. When the car was about a meter away from her, she suddenly jumped up and slammed onto the top of the car with a 'bang.' At that moment, everyone froze. Even the man in the car was shocked. Although he had thought of thousands of possibilities, he didn't expect that she would survive after two hits. In the end, she even climbed onto the top of his car. While feeling a little flustered, he quickly calmed down and made a decision. Then, he drifted the car in an instant, intending to throw her off the car. However, Emmeline was no ordinary woman. Even though she had been heavily injured and her life was at stake at this cri
Since the matter had come to such an urgent state, Uncle Poick also came along. Knowing that something had happened to Emmeline, he too was worried, and he would be even more anxious if he stayed in the castle. At the moment, he was worried sick seeing this situation. Hence, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Holland, should we send someone to search for her too?" Hearing that, Jara nodded, "Call Quan and ask him to bring a group of people over to search along downstream." "Okay" It only took a few minutes for the police to arrive after the accident. While the car and the driver were found, Emmeline was nowhere to be seen. If she was really knocked out or something happened to her, she would only be carried downstream. After Uncle Poick finished the arrangements, he walked back to Jara. Meanwhile, Jara was looking at the car parked not far away, which was salvaged from the river. He then shifted his gaze at the driver who had just been take
"Let's go! They're still looking for her. For now, they can't trace us. However, Jara is a smart person. If he couldn't salvage her after a while, he would definitely guess that someone had taken her away. When he caught up to us and we are no match for him." Someone reminded him. Another person said, "Yes, we have spent so much effort and sacrificed a person to get this woman out. We must not let him take her away again. Come on, quick. In another two hours, we will make it over this mountain and reach our destination. When we get there, someone will come to rescue us." With that, the rest of them walked faster. At the same time, someone asked doubtfully, "I wonder what secrets does this woman holds that our boss wants her so badly!" Another person said, "Who knows? We'd better not ask or care about it. But since she is quite good-looking, perhaps she is boss' lover?" Someone sneered, "His lover? Someone who was hit by a car, and was now half-alive?
