Chapter 260

“Emily, are you still at the Bennett residence?” Austin asked over the phone. His voice sounded rather serious through the

line.

Emily couldn’t shake off a bad feeling and replied, “Yeah, I’m still here. What’s wrong?”

Austin paused for a moment before saying, “You should stick close to Charles for now. Don’t let him get online, and make sure he doesn’t hear any rumors.”

Hearing how serious he sounded, Emily felt her heart clench. “What happened?”

Austin knew just how much Charles meant to Emily, and for a moment, he didn’t know how to break it to her.

After hesitating, he finally said, “Do you remember that guy we caught taking pictures outside Charles’s hospital room? He actually wasn’t sent by Yvonne. The one pulling the strings behind him is someone named Cale.”

Back then, Austin had a feeling there was something off about that man and wanted to look into him quietly. But after that day, the guy just vanished without a trace.

Most of his attention had been on helping Emily deal with Jeremy and handling some other secret matters, so he hadn’t focused on that guy. He didn’t expect that it would cause him to fall behind.

Emily had heard the name Cale before, and every single time, it was always connected to Lydia. Her voice grew cold. “What has Lydia done this time?”

Austin’s voice dropped, too, carrying a chilling edge. “She hired people to take a bunch of photos of you and Charles from misleading angles, and now they’re spreading rumors about you online.”

“Emily!” A furious roar suddenly erupted from behind, cutting Austin off mid-sentence.

Emily turned around and saw Gale storming in, his face dark with rage. Andrew followed close behind, his own expression just as grim.

The two of them had been searching the house for her, and Gale, too angry to care about appearances, bellowed, “Where’s Emily? Make her get out of here right now!”
