That was, the culprit knew very well about Emmeline's living habits and condition. Besides, he or she had the opportunity to enter the kitchen. If it was Lilly who poisoned her, she could've put the arsenic directly into her meals. After all, she was the one who filled Emmeline's meal in separate plates before passing it to Yunne. Why would she poison the lemon? Emmeline was puzzled. At that moment, she had a conjecture in her mind, but there was no way to confirm it. Therefore, she could only leave it for now. When she had the chance later, she would find the answer. Just then, while she was contemplating, there was a car engine sound coming from downstairs. Upon hearing that, she was stunned. As the car did not pass by her balcony, she could not see who it was. However, the engine voice was getting louder, so she guessed that someone was driving in. Since she couldn't fall asleep, she decided to go out and have a look. With that, she ch
Meanwhile, Jara's gaze was filled with doubt. "I've never seen you celebrate your birthday so extravagantly before. What's going on this year?" As soon as he said that, Emmeline was stunned too. And Isaac scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled awkwardly. "Jara, just pretend like you don't know even if you've seen through me. Show me some respect." Surprisingly, Jara let out a rare smile this time. "Which girl?" In an instant, Isaac's face turned red gradually, and he was stuttering. "Well, you'll know when by then." On the other hand, Emmeline still didn't understand what they were talking about. Seeing this, she interrupted and asked, "What are you talking about? What girl?" In response, Jara smiled faintly and explained. "Isaac usually hates banquets the most. But, this time, he actually wants to hold a banquet on his own birthday. I won't believe him if he said he is doing it for himself. There was no other reason.
The words 'believe me' were like fists, hitting on Emmeline's heart deeply. At that moment, she felt a pain in her chest, as if there was a mass of cotton stuffed there, making it hard for her to breathe. Immediately, she turned her head away as tears started welling up in her eyes. "How do you want me to believe you?" Yes, how could she believe him? Although she had decided to forgo the harm he did to her in the past, it did not mean that she could forget it. Even if the wound was healed, there was still a deep scar. How was he going to erase it? Her tears, for some reason, flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably. Both of them didn't say a word, but it seemed that they didn't need to say anything to understand each other. Jara looked at the beads of tears on her face and felt as if someone had punched him in the chest. He felt a dull pain in his heart. Reaching out his hand, he wiped away the tears from her face slowly.
These words seemed to hit Jara hard. His eyes suddenly darkened, and a hint of maliciousness appeared in them. "Emmeline, I thought that if I told you this, you would understand me, but even you think of me that way? Do you think that I will be looked down upon if I do this?" "Yes, I look down upon you. In the past, you were indeed shrewd, but you could be regarded as an open and straightforward person. No matter how cruel the business world is, you would never take advantage of women to deceit others' feelings," replied Emmeline. "But now, you broke your principles just because you were going to deal with Luca, and even sent Kayla over. Jara, do you still have a heart? Do you think that those who treat you truthfully are not worthy at all? You are really disappointing me!" When Emmeline was speaking, Jara's expression gradually turned cold. Looking at Emmeline, it was as if he was looking at a stranger he had never met. Slowly, he stood up an
If one day, he needed Emmeline to achieve his goal, would he also make use of her like he did with Kayla? In certain aspects, once the principle was broken, there would be a second time, followed by countless times. She didn't dare to think about it, nor did she want to think about it. At that moment, Emmeline's mood was very complicated, so she didn't eat much at noon. In fact, she did think of stopping Jara. However, Kayla was willing to go there. If she went there like this, others might not even appreciate it. As for the banquet held by the Marsh Family, she could not enter without an invitation anyway. Therefore, in the end, Emmeline gave up the idea. After lunch, she called for Isaac and chatted with him. When Isaac arrived, she was sitting in the corridor in the yard drinking tea. The moment she saw him, she waved at him and said, "Come and taste the tea I brewed." Seeing that, Isaac walked over with a smile and didn't
You only saw the trunk on the surface of the ground, but you couldn't see how deep, dense, and long the roots buried under the ground. And now, if you want to shake the tree, you must be stronger than the wind, but are you? No. I can say that in this world, no one can shake them unless the Icarus Association, the Sapphire family, and the Lost Vanguard join hands. But is it possible for these forces to work together? It was impossible, wasn't it? Lost Vanguard was like an ant in front of the Marsh Family. It's not impossible for an ant to shake a tree. It just needs a plan and an opportunity. This is a very important and rare opportunity. Maybe it can achieve double the result with half the effort. It's impossible for anyone else to give up this opportunity, let alone Jara." After hearing that, Emmeline fell silent. She didn't know that Jara would have to consider this when making the decision. Why didn't he tell her? Clearly, he knew that as lo
However, he was, after all, a very experienced person. Immediately, he put on a straight face and walked over. "Why haven't you slept yet?" He asked in a magnetic and deep voice. On the other hand, Emmeline looked at him and did not answer his question. Instead, she asked, "Have you finished your business?" Obviously, Jara knew what she was asking. Looking at the woman in front of him, he did not rush to answer. Instead, he thought to himself that the way she asked this question, was she still angry at him? With Emmeline's character, he knew that if she was angry, she would never ask him. She wouldn't even bother to talk to him. In fact, it was a common for her to ignore him. In that case, was she not angry anymore? Although Jara didn't know the reason, there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart. With a nod, he said, "Yes, it's done." Both of them looked at each other in silence for a moment. As Em
Isaac was accompanied by a few other rich kids. At the sight of Emmeline, everyone's faces were full of amazement. Someone nudged Isaac with his arm and asked with a smile, "Isaac, who is this beauty? I haven't seen her before. Why don't you introduce her to us?" Isaac grew up with them, so how could he not know what these people were thinking? Waving his hand, he pushed the others away. "Go away, don't talk nonsense here. Go get some drinks." Seeing that, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Someone teased. "Isaac, I heard that you invited your sweetheart to come over today. Could it be this beautiful woman?" As soon as the words came out, Isaac blushed in an instant. Glaring at his friend, he shouted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have known her for many years, and she is like my sister. Don't talk nonsense." Originally, his intention was not to let his friends make jokes, so as not to make Emmeline angry. H
