From Ruin She Rose novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244

Chapter 244

The Bennett family had also attended the recent benefit dinner, so of course Emma recognized Jeremy, and she knew the Windrose family wasn’t a group she could afford to cross.

But Emma couldn’t hold back and retorted, “If Emily hadn’t been so immature and always picking on Lydia, why would we have sent her to St. Gabriel Reform Academy to learn some discipline?

“In my heart, Lydia and Emily are both my daughters. It hurt me deeply to send Emily away. Jeremy, what you said just now is out of line.” Jeremy didn’t argue with her. Instead, the smirk on his lips grew even more mocking.

Even though Jeremy couldn’t resist taking a couple of digs, that was someone else’s family business, and he wasn’t about to meddle. So, he just smiled and nodded. “Whatever you say, Mrs. Bennett.”

All along, Emily just kept quiet. She knew perfectly well that Jeremy wasn’t standing up for her. He was only doing it for his

own reasons.

In Jeremy’s eyes, the two of them were just fake heiresses and heirs from wealthy families. But in her case, it was just a hospital mix-up. As for Jeremy, he’d been switched on purpose.

Seeing Jeremy’s attitude mellow out, Emma felt satisfied. Lydia was still nestled in Emma’s arms, but her eyes kept glancing back and forth between Jeremy and Emily, sizing them up.

Then, as if something had just occurred to her, she put on a delicate, fragile act and asked, “Mr. Windrose and Emily, you two look pretty familiar with each other. Did you know each other before?”

Emily thought Lydia’s question was a bit odd. She gave Lydia a searching look and noticed a flicker of tension in her eyes. What is she so nervous about?’ she wondered.

Jeremy, on the other hand, didn’t seem to notice anything strange about Lydia’s question. “I’ve heard of Ms. Harper before, but this is actually the first time we’ve met in person.”

He turned to Emily with a bright smile. “Ms. Harper is a very clever woman, and I admire that. It’s just a pity she seems to have some kind of misunderstanding about me.”
