Suddenly, Jara stood up, let go of Emmeline, and shouted, "Uncle Poick!" Right away, Uncle Poick entered the room. With a pair of icy-cold eyes, Jara glanced at Emmeline, who was still sitting on the bed. "Send Miss Illington back." "Yes, Mr. Holland." After that, Uncle Poick sent Emmeline back. As Jara and Emmeline were upset, they parted in discord. Even though Jara was enraged, Emmeline wasn't in a good mood either. At first, she was thrilled after blurting those words. It was as if she had vented out all her pent-up anger at once. However, as soon as she saw his sad expression, she was heartbroken. Thinking about that, Emmeline raised her hand and touched her chest. At that moment, she felt that as if a small knife had stabbed into her heart so deeply that it bled, and her face turned pale. On the other side, after Emmeline left, Jara vigorously kicked the sofa beside his bed before he walked out of the r
Jara would never forget the way Emmeline looked at him at that moment. Before that incident, she loved him as much as she loved her own life, while after that incident, she regarded him as a lifelong enemy. When she looked at him before, her eyes would be glimmering with happiness. After that incident, she would only look at him with eyes full of rage and hatred. In his life, he would never forget that cold, emotionless gaze of hers, and he never wanted to see that again. Suddenly, Jara's hand softened. With that, Kayla fell onto the sofa. Right away, she held her throat and began to cough violently. Jara looked at her coldly. Without any warmth in his eyes, he stared at Kayla's body. At the same time, Kayla felt that as if a knife was pointing at her back. At that moment, she was afraid to look straight into his eyes. Hence, while crouching, she faced her back toward him. Deep down, she had a bad feeling that this time, she might b
When he glanced at her, he suddenly remembered where that familiar feeling came from. Luca Marsh was the chairman of the Ostana Chamber of Commerce and the current patriarch of the Marsh family. Once, he had a wife that died eight years ago due to illness. Surprisingly, Kayla's appearance was similar to hers. As Jara discovered that, he started to investigate in secret. At first, he was not expecting any shocking fact, but through the investigation, he found that Luca's wife was also from Ascijan. The Marsh family and Jara had business dealings with each other, so they were quite close. However, in recent years, due to some variations in their power and influence, both of their standpoints began to differ. Currently, their business relationship was more like enemies than friends. Even so, since they had known each other very well, they apparently were still getting along well with each other. However, Jara knew that it was just a matter of time
"If she cares, I will give up and stop having any delusions about you again." Kayla answered firmly. To that, Jara nodded his head. "Okay, keep your words." After that, he got up from the sofa. "From today onward, I will send someone to teach you. Please learn attentively, because what you learn will be very useful when you are with Luca in the future. As for the other preparations, you don't have to worry about it." Upon finishing his words, he walked out. As Kayla watched him leave heartlessly, her heart sank. Even though she had agreed to his request, she was still hopeful toward him. With that, she suddenly asked, "Jara! Can I ask you another question?" At once, Jara halted his footsteps. With a faint creased between his brows, he turned back to look at her. "Ask away." While fighting back her tears, Kayla asked, "When you think of sending me to Mr. Marsh's side, don't you worry that I will betray you someday?"
Jara didn't respond to her. With a pair of dark eyes, he quietly looked at Emmeline. Annoyed, Emmeline reached out her hand and pushed him away. "Go away! Don't disturb my sleep." By doing that, she thought that Jara would be irritated, but unexpectedly, he giggled softly. His low, husky voice that was full of evil charm sounded, and his warm breath puffed on her ear. "So, this is how you look like when you're jealous." Once again, his arm reached out to her body. However, this time, he did not rest his arm on her waist. Instead, he gently pinched her small and smooth earlobes with his fingertips. "Just now, after you left, I went to see Kayla again." Emmeline's body froze. Although she looked like she was unwilling to talk to him, in fact, she had quietly pricked up her ears. Not knowing whether Jara noticed her strangeness, she continued to listen as he spoke casually, "After a period of time, I'll send her away, and she'll
Meanwhile, Kayla quietly walked toward Emmeline. Her footsteps were light and coupled with the fact that she was walking on the lawn, she managed to sneak to Emmeline quietly. It wasn't until Kayla approached that Emmeline noticed her. However, instead of raising her head, she glanced at Kayla from the corner of her eyes and continued reading. With a complacent look, Kayla raised her head. "I have good news to tell you, Emmeline." Having no interest, Emmeline gave Kayla the cold shoulder. Even so, Kayla wasn't irked. On the contrary, she displayed an arrogant smile on her innocent and delicate face. "I'm getting married to Jara." Upon hearing what Kayla said, Emmeline subconsciously clutched her fingers, which were holding the book. Just then, Jara's deep voice from last night came to her mind. "After a period of time, I will send her away, and she will never appear in front of you again..." At the thought of that, Emmel
Jara said in a deep voice, "Last night, I told you that I would find a chance to send her away. By that time, she will never appear in front of you again, let alone posing any threat to you. So, you don't have to do this to her. If you continue to act this way, it will make you seem..." Suddenly, he paused. As if his words had stabbed her heart, Emmeline could feel a dull pain in her chest. While pressing her lips together, she looked at him motionlessly. A moment later, she asked in a deep voice, "Make me seem what? Spit it out!" Jara's expression turned colder. With that, he decided to be frank, "It will make you seem unfamiliar, annoying, and petty like you never did. You are aware that both of you are from different worlds. No matter what, she won't be able to fight against you." "So, why do you have to go against such a harmless person like her? Why don't you let her go and give yourself peace of mind instead?" Hearing that, Emmeline
Emmeline frowned impatiently and asked, "Who's outside?" Yunne came in and whispered, "It's Miss Burke." When Emmeline heard Kayla's name, her frown deepened. Oh, it was that phony again. What was she doing here? However, regardless of the reason, Emmeline's sleep was disrupted by the rowdy disturbance outside. Since Emmeline wasn't able to sleep, she thought she might as well get up. So, she got up in frustration and asked Yunne to push her out in her wheelchair. The moment she got out of her room, she saw Kayla reprimanding a servant. In Tower B, even though Emmeline and Kayla's rooms were on different sides, they were both on the same floor. Normally, Emmeline wouldn't go out often, so they would rarely run into each other unless one of them deliberately waited for the other. Thanks to that, throughout those days they lived together, they hardly had any conflicts. At this moment, Kayla was standing there arrogan
