Emmeline stood up and hugged Yunne. "Emmeline, you're here! It turns out that you're fine. You have no idea how terrified I was!" She cradled Emmeline in her arms, trembling with fear. Emmeline held Yunne in her arms, her feelings complex and tinged with guilt. Yunne was simply an ordinary girl who had probably never been kidnapped in her life. This time, Yunne was implicated because of her. As a result, she felt extremely guilty. She gently patted Yunne on the shoulder and murmured, "It's okay. Don't be scared." Yunne whimpered and looked up from her shoulder. "Emmeline, what is going on?" she questioned as she wiped her tears. Then, Emmeline glanced at Grayclouds, who was still standing by the door with cold eyes. "It's nothing. Don't worry. You'll be fine." After noticing that she was looking at him with an unfriendly look, Grayclouds shrugged his shoulders, turned around, and left. Shortly, Emmeline signaled fo
It was as if the same body housed a different soul. This thought flashed across her mind, but she quickly dismissed it. Emmeline giggled and thought, "What's wrong with me?" How could an atheist have self-doubts? She turned around and walked outside, shaking her head. Outside, Yunne was waiting for her. "Emmeline, what are we going to do today?" she inquired hesitantly when she saw Emmeline walking out. Last night, she had already promised Yunne that she would find a way to ask them to let her go and send her out as soon as possible. Emmeline looked at her nervous look and couldn't help laughing. "Don't be like this. It's obvious that you're playing tricks. Relax and carry on as usual. I don't have a specific plan yet. We'll see how things go." Yunne, who was initially full of confidence, turned depressed when she learned Emmeline didn't have a plan. "Will... will it work?" she asked with some concern. Emmeline mur
Emmeline cast a gloomy glance at Grayclouds. She had no idea whether what he stated was true or not. After all, her mother had passed away many years ago, and her memory before the age of eight was blank. She couldn't recall anything else besides the memories she recalled when she visited here recently. After all, there was no evidence but only his claim. It was difficult for Emmeline to believe him. At the thought of this, a hint of indifference flashed in her eyes. "Well, even if what you said is true, do you think you can really keep me here by kidnapping me in this way?" she replied. Grayclouds smiled as he stared at her. "I just want us to know each other better. Of course, if you decide to leave later, I will not stop you." Emmeline sneered, "How can I trust you?" Grayclouds arched his brow. "What do you want me to do for you to trust me?" Emmeline thought for a moment before saying directly, "Let Yunne go. It's ou
After that, Jara turned around and strode away. However, Grayclouds came prepared, so how could he really be tracked by Jara? He vanished halfway through the journey. In the vast sky, Jara couldn't possibly trace him. Angered, Jara smashed a vase. However, he was now certain that Emmeline was indeed in the hands of the Icarus Association. His gaze quickly became harsh and malicious. "Humph, I'll get you sooner or later. Do you really think you can run away?" he thought to himself. As a result, he immediately summoned his men and headed aggressively to the headquarters of the Icarus Association in F Country. On the other side. When Emmeline woke up again, she found herself in a car. The vehicle was not a minicar but rather a large truck. She was lying in the carriage behind the truck at the time. Inside it, there were two soft cushions. However, it was pitch black since the door was shut. Only a glimmer of light cou
"You want me to go out of Jara's sight and out of the bodyguard's protection range, then knock me out and let them take me away, right?" This time, Josie did not deny it. "Yes." Emmeline's heart sunk gradually. "Why? It's because I'm not kind enough to you? Why did you betray me?" As soon as she finished, Josie's eyes darkened. "You're really nice to me, but in this world, words can't solve everything." "I'm sorry, I don't want to hurt you, but I have no choice," she added softly. "Why don't you tell me what made you do such an immoral thing?" Emmeline scoffed. Then, Josie looked at her and suddenly gave a self-deprecating smile. "Don't try to get any information from me, Emmeline. Let me tell you the truth. Even if you were to rebel against me, it would be useless. In their eyes, I am nothing more than a tool. You are not the only one being watched; I am as well. So, instead of wasting your time on me, think about how to cope with your b
Josie smiled faintly. "Of course, you can't find anything wrong with it because it indeed is a bottle of essential oil." "The bottle of miraculous water will not have any effect when no specific person is doing certain things. What's more, the bottle I gave you to check was really a bottle of essential oil, not the other one." Emmeline was shocked. It was only now that she realized she had placed too much trust in Yunne. As a result, even though she had reservations about Yunne, she had entire faith in her when a cursory examination revealed nothing wrong with the bottle. She had no idea Yunne was trying to kill her with the level of trust. Emmeline's eyes grew cold, and Josie didn't care. She just sat there quietly. In fact, she was a completely different person than she had been at the castle, whether it was by her words, deeds, or frigid demeanor. Looking at Emmeline, she raised the bread that hadn't been finished. "Are you
She heard footsteps, and soon, the truck door was opened. "Come down!" A man said to them coldly. Josie stood up, came over to Emmeline's side, and assisted her in getting up. Emmeline smiled as she stared at her bound foot and asked, "Do you expect me to jump off the truck like this?" With a frown, Josie examined the rope that was tied to Emmeline's foot. As she was ready to bend down to help untie the knot, the man at the door stopped her. "That isn't necessary. You can stay inside the truck all night if you think it is inconvenient for you to jump out. In any case, we have no objections." After that, he ignored her and strode away. Emmeline was stunned. She didn't expect the other party to be so difficult to deal with. At the side, Josie straightened her back and looked at Emmeline helplessly. "What do you think? Do you want to stay in the truck, or do you want me to help you jump off the car?" Hearing that, Emm
As a result, Emmeline was not alone when she slept at night. She and Josie were sleeping in the same room while the other four men were guarding outside. Looking at such a guarding line-up, Emmeline could only smile bitterly. She wouldn't be able to escape even if she were a God! Letting out a soft sigh, she then closed her eyes and rested without much thought. The countryside was always quietest at night. Except for the occasional bug chirp, there was almost no sound. Soon, the sound of Josie's breathing came. Through the door, she could still hear the men's earth-shattering snores outside. Emmeline was exhausted, but she didn't know why she couldn't fall asleep. She suddenly thought of something. When she previously escaped from the villa, it was Grayclouds that escorted her away. However, when she woke up in the truck, all she saw was Josie, not Grayclouds. Where did he go? Although Emmeline was terrified
