Therefore, Emmeline followed up with a joke, "Hey, if you get me a brother-in-law, I'll buy you a couple more." As soon as she finished her sentence, Yunne's face flushed again. She carefully looked at Rudy, who was following them in the distance and glared at her. "Emmeline!" Emmeline burst out laughing. In fact, she came out this time not only to buy something for Yunne, but also to get some personal items. The castle was great, and Uncle Poick was incredibly attentive. But, no matter what, he was still a guy. Emmeline was a woman, and she needed certain necessities. Although she had already prepared the things in her room, she was too embarrassed to ask Uncle Poick to restock them once they had been finished. So, when she went out today, she figured she might as well buy some on her own. Emmeline had a card that belonged to Jara. She and Jara grew up together and were now on the same boat. In addition, she had never felt anything wrong
Emmeline nodded and didn't seem to mind. "Go ahead." Yunne then walked out of the store, holding the phone. As she walked away, Emmeline felt a twinge of tenderness and affection in her heart as she gazed at Yunne's slim back. Actually, why was she so nice to Yunne? Emmeline believed that, aside from the fact that Yunne had done everything she could to take care of her throughout this time, it was also because she was lovely. In fact, there was one more reason. She thought Yunne was somewhat similar to Keira. They were all young girls who looked like blooming flowers. They were both strong-willed at such a young and attractive age. They were, nevertheless, born in the mud. They were radically different from her in that they were full of optimism in their hearts. However, Keira had already passed away. Keira had sacrificed herself for Emmeline before she could be nice to her. Therefore, her emotions were stirring up. Sometimes
The international boutique's fitting room was enormous, spanning more than ten square meters. Yunne was expressionless at this point, and a man stood opposite her. She couldn't see the man's face since he was wearing a metal mask. He was, however, quite skinny, and his voice was low and cold. "We've given you lots of chances. You definitely have a lot of chances for making a move. Why didn't you do it?" Hearing that, Yunne looked at him coldly. Her face was no longer filled with the polite smile that she had before. She only had a cold and indifferent expression on her face. Glancing at him coldly, she asked, "How do I know that you will let my family go after I complete the task for you?" The man sneered and walked over slowly, step by step. It wasn't until he got to her that he took action, lifted her chin, and said calmly, "What do you think the benefits of keeping your family in our hands are? Are they going to help me? Josie, y
Emmeline didn't want to embarrass Rudy. After all, she knew how difficult it had been for him to get this far. Anyway, she had helped them in tearing down the barrier that stood between them. As for their development in the future, it would depend on themselves. Therefore, she did not coerce him. Instead, she nodded and said, "Alright, you can go." Only then did Rudy turn around and exited the store. After he left, Emmeline stepped forward, taking a serious look at Yunne. Emmeline was delighted as she glanced at Yunne from head to toe. She couldn't help but nod. "Yes. It's beautiful." Then she waved her hand at the clerk and remarked, "I want this dress. Can I have the bill, please?" Upon seeing this, Yunne instantly reached out her hand to stop her. "Emmeline." "What's wrong?" Emmeline looked at her, stunned. "I... " She stared at Yunne, who was speaking hesitantly. At the time, Yunne's bright eyes seemed to be fi
Emmeline wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but Yunne looked a little different today. She thought that Yunne appeared to have a lot on her mind. What on earth had happened? However, since they were outside, she could do nothing about it if Yunne refused to say anything. It was already noon when they finished shopping. Emmeline then decided to eat nearby. Finally, they decided on a high-end restaurant with good food. Yunne went to the bathroom first after entering. However, Emmeline was unconcerned. She made arrangements for Rudy and others to sit in the next room; while she and Yunne sat alone in a small room. Then, she sat down and began to place her order. The foods served here were light. She ordered some of her favorites and some of which Yunne would most likely enjoy. Finally, she ordered a pot of tea. Meanwhile, on the other side, in the restroom. Yunne clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and exclaimed angrily, "Are
As Yunne drank, she disclosed what had been on her mind for years. "Emmeline, do you know that I'm not a real orphan. I have a father, but I've never seen him since I was a child." She didn't seem to be a good drinker; her vision became blurry after several glasses of wine. As she poured herself another cup of wine, she mumbled, "He abandoned my mother before I was born. He was aware of my existence after I was born, but he did not come to find me." "I used to believe he had some inexplicable reason, so even though he has never ridden on a day's worth of responsibility since I was little, I don't hate him." "But, till now, I've realized that everything is merely an excuse. He refuses to acknowledge me at all." "I don't need him to do anything for me anymore since I've grown up. All I want is to have a normal family, but he refuses." "Do you think I'm very pitiful, Emmeline? Am I too stupid?" Emmeline had no idea Yunne's background was so
Yet, Jara would not give up. Therefore, he sent people to ascertain Emmeline's whereabouts. Simultaneously, he did the same thing through other channels. Emmeline was indeed missing this time, but she did not fall into trouble right away. Thus, he wasn't too worried. He knew there were two groups of people who wanted to capture Emmeline. However, she should be safe for the time being because the other party simply whisked her away and did not kill her on the spot when the opportunity arose. Even so, the atmosphere in the castle was uneasy. Everyone could feel Jara's anger. For this matter, the bodyguards who were responsible for the safety of Emmeline were all very remorseful. They knew that it was their negligence that caused Emmeline to go missing. Today, they had already been punished. Rudy was the most unsettled of them all. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen just because of a moment of negligence. Think
Emmeline twisted the doorknob hard but it didn't work. Someone must have locked it from the outside. This was also within Emmeline's expectations. After some thought, she put it aside and began to fumble her way starting from the door instead. At this time, in a villa not far from the wooden house. A man was sat in front of the surveillance screen, enjoying a glass of red wine while watching the scene on the screen. The image showed a struggling Emmeline groping along the wall bit by bit in the dilapidated wooden house. She seemed to be groping while pricking her ears up to listen to something. He couldn't help but raise his brows and questioned, "What is she doing?" A man with a silver mask stood behind him with his arms folded. "She's probably observing the environment," he claimed. The man was a little surprised, and then he laughed. "Interesting." The silver-masked man looked at her. "Sir, in fact, I don't see why we
