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
After finishing his words, he ignored her and strode out of the room. Kayla was rooted to the spot. After a long time, she recovered, and her expression changed dramatically. Meanwhile, Emmeline was having insomnia. Even though she had lain in bed with her eyes closed for quite some time, she couldn't sleep. She didn't know whether it was because of Kayla's incident or because she was so upset. When she opened her eyes, she saw nothing but pitch darkness. Then, she turned around and took the remote control from the nightstand. Using that, she opened the curtains, and the silver moonlight poured in. Suddenly, a memory from her days in the orphanage came into her mind. That day, it was also a night in the summer, where the moon was bright, and the vault of the sky was lit with stars. As she couldn't fall asleep, she sneaked to the kitchen and stole some melon seeds. After that, she climbed up the stairs behind the yard and sat on the rooftop to w
Emmeline could not take a shower because the wound on her body hadn't recovered. So, she wiped her body with a damp towel. After putting on clean clothes, she came out of the bathroom. That time, it was already six o'clock in the morning. During summer, the sun would usually rise early. Although it was only six o'clock in the morning, a neon-blue tint had filled the sky. As Emmeline couldn't fall asleep, she made herself a cup of tea and pushed her wheelchair to the balcony to watch the sunrise. However, before the sun rose, she heard the sound of a car engine coming from downstairs. Surprised, she craned her neck to have a look. Then, she saw a black off-road vehicle driving out of the garage and heading toward the castle gate. Seeing that, Emmeline puckered her brows. At a glance, she could recognize that it was Jara's car. After all, she had lived in the castle for a long time. No matter where he went, he liked driving that car t
Usually, Emmeline would stay in the castle for her own safety. However, how could a loving couple like them miss out on a romantic date under the lightings full of blessings? Therefore, that would be her reason to go out during the Festival of Light. Besides, she believed that although the other party had not taken any action this month, they hadn't given up on her. In reality, they were also looking for an opportunity, and this day would be the best day for them. Hence, they would definitely do something. In this case, she could take them down at once to investigate their purpose and the forces behind them. But too bad... At the thought of something, Emmeline smiled sarcastically. Originally, she wanted to tell Jara this plan at the boxing gym that day. Unexpectedly, she saw Kayla and him together, and the both of them almost fully undressed. At that time, she was so mad, so she didn't say anything. Later on, as she considered the import
