How could Kayla just slap her like that? With a smirk, Kayla dusted her hands and derided, "How dare a lowly servant like you interrupt us? If you don't know how to behave, let me teach you a lesson." As soon as she said that, everyone's face became ashen. On the other hand, Yunne was covering her swelled cheek. Enraged, she was flushed and was unable to utter a word. However, at this moment. There was a loud scream. Kayla felt a sharp pain in her leg, and the next second, she instinctively bent her body. Seeing that, everyone was shocked. Before they could react, Emmeline gave Kayla another kick in her belly. Fortunately, Emmeline had injured her leg, so she didn't dare to exert too much strength. On the other hand, Kayla cried out in pain and slumped on the ground. If Emmeline's leg was not injured, Kayla might have flown out by now. With a cold tone, Emmeline uttered, "Since you don't know how to behave, I'll teach you a le
Basically, Lilly hadn't touched the vodkas since she placed them on the wine rack. Besides, everyone knew that she was responsible for Emmeline and Kayla's meals. Thus, as long as it was their food or drinks, no one would touch them. What the hell was going on? Lilly got panic. On the other hand, Emmeline was calm. She took another sip of the cocktail and asked someone to call Uncle Poick here. After he was here, he confirmed with Emmeline that the vodka he sent that day was of the best quality. Then, Emmeline turned to look at the group of servants in front of her. "Except for Lilly, who else was working in the kitchen during the last few days?" Everyone looked at each other in speechless despair. Then, three servants came forward. Staring at them, Emmeline asked, "Are the three of you chefs?" Hearing that, the three servants shook their heads. Perhaps due to fear, or maybe they were shy, so they kept their heads lowered. The
With a pair of calm eyes, Emmeline looked up at Kayla and Lilly. Then, she spoke in a deep voice, "Lilly is not the one who switched the vodka. Someone has altered the surveillance video. " "What?" Everyone was taken aback. If it wasn't Lilly, who would it be? Panicked, everyone stared at each other while guessing who was the fox in the henhouse. At the same time, Kayla puckered her brows. Because she was standing close to Emmeline, she could see the footage displayed on the computer screen in front of Emmeline. Clearly, the footage showed that no one was touching the rack. How was Emmeline sure that Lilly didn't take it? Was she trying to tell a barefaced lie? With that, Kayla spoke with dissatisfaction. "Emmeline, I know you are trying to help Lilly, but shouldn't you have the basic sense of truth? The footage has clearly shown that except Lilly, there was no one else who opened the rack. How can you be so sure that sh
The rest of the people also nodded in agreement. "Yes, she's right." "Who can get in without the key? We can't be teleporting, right?" "In that case, the thief shouldn't be one of the people in our kitchen." Just then, one of the servants who was clear-minded said something. "What if someone stole the key and secretly put it back?" Hearing that, the young man who was responsible for the surveillance shook his head. "It's impossible. I kept the keys close to myself at all times. So, they can't be stolen." As soon as he finished his words, everyone was confused. No one stole the key, but the surveillance video was somehow trampled. Was it done by a ghost then? At the thought of that, some of the servants turned ashen. Even so, Emmeline didn't believe that ghosts existed in the world. With a sullen face and cold eyes, she scanned through the faces in front of her. In the end, her eyes fell on a young girl who ha
Then, Maggie was sent away. Actually, Uncle Poick's punishment was considered merciful. However, deep down, Emmeline felt uneasy. For some reason, she felt that Maggie wouldn't commit theft. Even so, all the evidence put Maggie at a disadvantage, and she couldn't explain herself. Thus, Emmeline couldn't do anything. Finally, a farce was over. ...... ...... ...... ...... ...... ...... Feeling tired, Emmeline asked Yunne to send her back to her room. When they passed the corridor, they saw Lilly and the other servants coming out of the servant room with Maggie while heading to the main door. There was a simple suitcase in Maggie's hand and a backpack on her back, which was probably all her belongings here. At that moment, she was still crying. As she cried, she wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. At the same time, she kept nodding as if she was responding to the advice given by Lil
The moment she saw Kayla, Emmeline thought of what Yunne told her just now. With that, faint ridicule emanated from the depths of her eyes. "What's the matter?" She asked in a flat tone. Feeling over the moon, Kayla swayed her waist while walking to Emmeline and bragged, "Nothing in particular. Jara sent me some gifts just now, and I thought I shouldn't keep all the good stuff to myself. So, I've brought you some." As she spoke, she waved her hand, and Millay walked over with a tray in her hand. Then, Kayla picked up the small packages on the tray and tossed them on the table. "One is lavender tea, and the other one is chamomile tea. Both of them are of the highest quality and can help in relaxation. Nice gift, right?" Emmeline's eyes fell on the two packages of flower tea thrown on the table. Coincidently, Yunne had returned from the kitchen. At the sight of this scene, she was shocked. With her head lowered, she hurried over to Em
Emmeline looked up at Kayla in silence. Then, Kayla said softly, "To tell you the truth, I've made a bet with Jara." Despite hearing that, Emmeline remained silent. "If he loses this bet, he'll have to marry me. If he wins, I'll leave this place and stay away from him for the rest of his life," Kayla added. With that, Emmeline scoffed, "Well, this has nothing to do with me." Right away, Kayla stretched out her index finger and gently shook it. "No, no, no. This matter is closely related to you." As she spoke, she leaned over and whispered in Emmeline's ear, "Do you want to know who he cares about the most?" Once Emmeline heard Kayla's words, her eyes flickered. With a frown, she stared at Kayla. "What do you mean?" Kayla replied smilingly, "Oh, you might not know about this. Currently, Jara has a big plan, and in this plan, I play an important part." "I bet with him that if I can come back alive after completing his plan, he w
As a result, Emmeline was imprisoned for four years. All of a sudden, she was baffled. Looking at Jara, she asked in a low voice, "Do you really believe that I am the one who pushed her down?" With an indifferent expression, Jara answered, "The truth is right in front of us." At once, Emmeline laughed. Sitting in the wheelchair with a pale face, she laughed in sadness and disbelief. Then, she sighed, "Four years ago, you didn't believe me. Four years later, you came to me again and begged me to stay. At first, I thought it was because you realized your mistake and hoped that we could reconcile." "But now, I realize that I am too naive. I should've known that once a person doesn't believe in me, no matter how long time has passed or how many things he has experienced, he never will." "I don't hate you, Jara. Instead, I find it amusing. Why can you never judge a situation as clearly as the others did?" She paused for a while as if she
