My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 531

“No.”

Andrew Lane’s answer was as crisp as it was final. “I told you before—I won’t be selling the rights to her.”

As soon as she heard his response, Isabella Austin let out a breath she didn’t realize she’d been holding. A relieved, delighted smile broke across her face.

“I know you look out for me, Andrew, but I was a little worried,” she said, feigning concern. “What if Emily finds out you’re refusing her? Won’t she be furious? You said yourself she came all the way back just for the rights.”

Andrew’s deep voice was calm, but held a distant chill. “That’s her problem, not mine.”

With that, Isabella was completely satisfied.

The girl who couldn’t compete with her five years ago still couldn’t hold a candle to her now.

Emily Blair didn’t linger in the room upstairs for long. She exchanged a few words with Tristan Davis, then made her way to the living room, settling quietly on the couch as she waited for Andrew Lane to come down.

Suddenly, a commotion rose in the hallway, voices drawing closer until the door swung open.

“I heard Emily Blair is back?”

Emily looked up, meeting the gaze of the man and woman who’d just walked in. She offered a faint, polite smile. “It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”

Amelia Lane scoffed, tossing her wavy hair back over her shoulder with a practiced flick. “It really has been a long time. I was actually planning to head out to the Aetheria Club tonight—care to guess why I rushed back instead?”

Emily’s voice was cool, almost indifferent. “Whatever suits you.”

Amelia leaned in, a grin spreading across her face as she fixed Emily with a smoky-eyed stare. “I just had to see for myself who could be so shameless—someone who gets thrown out of the Lane family estate, yet still manages to show her face here.”

Beside her, Ethan Lane chuckled, his smile full of contempt and disdain.
