Finnian, her own son, wanted to banish her to a deserted island?
Emma was trembling with rage, pointing a finger at Finnian's nose, but no words would come out.
Just then, the sound of laughter drifted in from outside. It sounded like Mr. Kevin Everly and Amara, returning from an outing.
Leaning on Amara's arm, Mr. Kevin Everly slowly made his way up the stairs, a happy smile on his face. But when he saw Finnian's door was open and spotted Emma inside, his expression immediately soured. "What are you doing here?" he snapped. "Who let you in?"
Hadn't he given strict orders that Emma was not to set foot in the estate? How did she get in?
A servant hurried over to explain. "Sir, Madam forced her way in just now. We couldn't stop her."
Mr. Kevin Everly knew that as Finnian's mother, the staff couldn't physically restrain her if she was determined. He didn't take it out on the servant, instead turning his anger on Emma. "Get out of my house, now. And don't come back without my permission."
Emma felt deeply humiliated.
She was being scolded by Mr. Kevin Everly again, and this time in front of Amara. It only deepened her resentment toward both of them.
But she didn't dare talk back to the old man. She could only shoot a venomous glare at Amara before turning and leaving.
Amara was completely baffled by the glare.
Finnian was the one who got angry, and Mr. Kevin Everly was the one who kicked her out. By what logic should Emma be mad at her?
But Emma had never been one for logic. Amara let it go, continuing to quietly support Mr. Kevin Everly.
After Emma left, Mr. Kevin Everly glanced at Finnian's troubled expression. "What did your mother want? Was she here to argue with you again? What was it about?"
