Chapter 242

He acted as if he hadn’t noticed Emily’s probing or suspicion. Glancing around, he added, “This isn’t the place to talk about this. Ms. Harper, how about I treat you to dinner? If you have any questions, feel free to ask.”

Emily knew what kind of person Jeremy was behind that mask, and she didn’t even hesitate before refusing. “No, I-”

“Emily “That deliberately saccharine tone was like a fly landing in a bowl of fresh soup, instantly nauseating. Emily turned her head and, sure enough, saw Lydia standing there.

She frowned, her voice cold. “Ms. Bennett, that ‘Emily’ from you makes me sick.”

Back when Lydia and Lucas used to call her, she didn’t feel anything. But at that moment, unless it was Austin calling her, it just made her skin crawl.

Lydia’s excited expression froze, then slowly turned into a pitiful pout. “Did I… Did I upset you again, Emily? I’m sorry, it’s all my fault… she whimpered, her voice trembling with fake sobs.

Seeing that, Emma, who was right behind Lydia, rushed over and pulled her into her arms, comforting her. “Lydia, don’t cry I will stand up for you.”

He couldn’t help but feel that this scene was all too familiar. It used to happen all the time back to the Windrose family. But back then. he wasn’t the one getting blamed. It was his brother, Zack.

He turned his gaze back to Emily, a glint of something deep and calculating flickering in his eyes. He and Emily were cut from the same cloth.
