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
Emmeline struggled subconsciously, but his grip on her arm was so firm that she couldn't move. Hence, she could only glare at him through a piece of cloth. Upon seeing this, the masked man let out a sinister laugh. However, he did not say anything else to her. He bent down, carried her on his shoulder, and walked away. Emmeline was shocked. The moment her feet left the ground, she felt a surge of fear in her chest. She had no idea who this man was or where he planned to take her. As a result, she was constantly skeptical in her mind. She was gathering her strength in secret, preparing to fight to the death. However, before she could lift her arm, she heard the other party's cold voice. "I advise you not to waste your energy. I don't want to hit women, so don't challenge my patience. Be obedient. I will let you go when we get to the place." Just as Emmeline was about to make a move, she suddenly froze. The man under her had bro
Emmeline bent down and squatted on the ground because she was uncomfortable. Two voices constantly echoed in her head. Should she leave? Or should she stay? She had no idea why she felt so strongly about this place. This feeling was unexplainable as if it had become lodged in her heart, but she subconsciously dismissed it. Beads of chilly sweat the size of beans fell from her forehead. Her lips began to turn pale, and fragments of pictures began to emerge from her mind like movies. "Brother, look! What is this?" "Baby sis, don't pick the flowers. The flowers are stunning. If you pick them, they will die." "Since they are so beautiful, isn't it normal for people to pick them? You are so old-fashioned. I don't like you anymore. Hmph!" The tiny girl snorted angrily and walked away. Seeing this, the boy, who was a little taller than her, frowned with some hesitation. Finally, he took a step forward and drew her back. "Alrigh
"Bring her back to see me," Grayclouds urged to Jason. Jason answered in a low voice, "Yes!" Outside, Emmeline was still struggling. She had no idea what was going on with this memory that had appeared out of nowhere in her mind. All she knew was that she had to escape right away. There was no other reason except that she felt a significant risk in addition to the vague and unexplainable attachment. So, she heard a voice in her head urging her to run! Hurry and ran! She gritted her teeth, stood up, and stumbled outside. However, at this point, a black shadow appeared and stood in front of her. "Miss Illington, where are you going?" She looked up and saw the man with a silver mask. "Who are you?" she questioned coldly, her face darkening. The silver-masked man smiled and said, "Why don't you stay here and figure it out if you're so curious about our identities? If you stayed, maybe you'd have it all sorted out." Em
