Emmeline also leaned over. In order to have a better look at it, her whole body leaned to his side, and her head was almost next to his. After a while, she asked in a low voice, "Did you see anything?" Jara handsome brows furrowed slightly as he said in a low voice, "This isn't the same piece from four years ago?" "What?" Upon hearing that, Emmeline was stunned as she looked at him in surprise. Putting down the jade, Jara turned his head, and only to realize that she had already leaned over at some point. The two of them were at a very close proximity. They were so close that he could easily smell the faint scent of lavender on her hair, which it disrupted his breathing. But soon, he acted as if he didn't notice it and hid away his feelings. Silently, he moved closer to her so he'd be closer to her. Raising the jade pendant in his hand, he explained. "Look at the texture on this piece. I have carefully observed the one that appeared four
When Yunne saw this, she quickly nodded. "Then wait for me for a while, I'll go get it." She didn't go out until she got Emmeline's permission. It didn't take long for Yunne to come back. Coming in with a small box in her hand, she placed it on the table. Emmeline looked at it and saw that there were all kinds of tools in it. She couldn't help but laugh, "Wow, seems like you have a full set of equipments." WIth a smile, Yunne said, "Well, It's because I am not skillful enough, so using the equipment would be a plus. Emmeline, lie down on the bed first." Thus, Emmeline complied and lay flat on the bed. Subsequently, Yunne took a cushion stool from the dressing room, and sat down by the bed with her head facing her. After warming her hand, she began to give her a gentle massage. She had to admit that Yunne was being modest when she said that her skill was not good. Because after experimenting it for herself, in fact, Emmeline co
As she thought of this, she felt at ease. However, she felt uneasy when she slept that night. She didn't know what was going on, but somehow she felt a little suffocated as if there was a stone pressing on her heart, which almost made her puked. In the middle of the night, Emmeline was awakened. There was a rush of footsteps outside. She got out of bed and ran to the window to have a look. The whole castle was ablaze with lights. Cars and people were moving around outside, while everyone was in a hurry and panicking. A bad feeling welled up in her heart. As she looked at the time, it was just three o'clock in the morning. At this time, Yunne had probably heard the noise as well, so she rushed into Emmeline's room. Still in her pajamas, she wore a thin jacket to layer herself. When she saw Emmeline glancing out of the window, she asked urgently, "Miss Illington, are you okay?" Then, Emmeline turned to look at her and asked wit
"But, after we all went to bed at night, I didn't expect that there would be an explosion in Mr. Holland's room." "When we broke in, we saw that the room had already been set on fire. We tried our best to save Mr. Holland, but he was already seriously injured." "Because I couldn't figure out who did it at the moment, I rushed back all the way." Upon learning the news, Emmeline frowned deeply. Then, she asked in a low voice, "Didn't you check it carefully when you were staying in the hotel?" Quan replied solemnly, "I've checked." Hearing that, Emmeline was stunned. Immediately, she noticed a complicated and remorseful expression on Quan's face. So, some thought, she figured out what was going on. "There is a mole?" Upon hearing that, Quan clenched his fists and nodded. "The guards?" Again, Quan nodded. Upon realizing the truth, Emmeline let out a sigh. No wonder. The mole was one of the guards. No one
"In truth, I don't hate you at all. Although you have done a lot of things that hurt me very much, I still know that you are my Jara, who will always protect me, take care of me, and promise to be good to me." Suddenly, her eyes became sore as tears welled up. But she was strong, and she didn't let it drop. Curling her lips, she smiled softly. "Do you still remember that I liked to call you Brother Jara when we were young? At that time, I really wanted to have an elder brother, so I always followed behind you." "But later on, you beat me when we were practicing martial arts, so I didn't want to call you that anymore." "I heard that the older brothers in other families dote on their younger sister and they would never hit her." "But you hit me. I hated you at that time. I told myself that I won't call you Brother Jara anymore." "Do you still remember? For this matter, you have been angry with me for a long time, but you had no idea why I stopp
"You've already grown up, yet you're still so reckless?" He looked at her reproachfully. However, at this time, how could Emmeline notice this? The doctor had said before that there was a 48-hour critical window. Only after 48 hours that he could be considered to be fully awake. Therefore, Emmeline had been guarding in front of his bed in the past two days. Now that he had finally woken up, how could she not be happy? Emmeline's excitement was undisguised. Seeing this, Jara's darkened darkened slightly. If he said that he was not moved, it was a lie. But it was the deep touch of emotion that suddenly made him feel complicated. However, Emmeline didn't notice the change of his mood. She only asked with concern, "How are you feeling? Do you feel uncomfortable? Is your wound still painful?" Then, Jara grabbed her little hands that were moving around and said, "I'm fine, it doesn't hurt." After a pause, he asked, "How long
Nevertheless, he was a very considerate person, and he was very kind toward Emmeline. Knowing that she was worried and didn't want to go to see Jara directly, he walked over and explained. "Miss Illington, you don't have to worry too much. Just now, the doctor had already gave Mr. Holland a thorough examination. He is fine.He just need to recuperate at home for a period of time." Stunned, Emmeline pursed her lips upon hearing that, and thought that she didn't even ask him about Jara's condition. However, a thought came to her mind, and in the end, she nodded. In a soft voice, she said. "Uncle Poick, thank you for your hard work." Uncle Poick returned with a smile and said, "As long as you and Mr. Holland are good, it's not difficult for me." Upon hearing that, Emmeline was stunned. She didn't know what Uncle Poick meant by 'good' in his words. It meant that they were both safe and well-behaved, or he was actually saying that they should not qu
Meanwhile, the person was just staring at him, but did not say a word. However, Jara sneered. When Quan saw this, he directly picked up the whip and struck it over angrily, "Mr. Holland is asking you a question. Didn't you hear him? Why didn't you answer?" The man was hit again and he let out a scream. However, after the scream, his eyes were still full of hatred. "Bah!" He cried as he spat out a mouthful of blood toward Jara. When Emmeline saw that, her eyes turned cold. Quite tough. Nevertheless, Jara didn't care much about it and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. As long as I want to find out, I can always think of a way." With his eyes lowered slightly, he said lightly, "I remember that you came to me when you were 13 years old, didn't you?" The other party did not speak. Jara continued, "That year, your family was bullied by some local government officials and caused your sister to die miserably. Your mother also f
