Thinking about this, Emma Hudson couldn’t wait to dial Emily Walker’s cell phone number!
Hearing Aunt call her so affectionately by her nickname, Emily didn’t feel any warmth from family, but rather a sense of strangeness.
That’s because since she moved in with her Uncle and Aunt, her Aunt had never given her a kind face.
“Aunt, how can you have the nerve?” Thinking of her scheming Uncle and Aunt, Emily felt more heartache than hatred. She was only 20 years old and Henry Adams’ niece, but she never thought that the Uncle who had been relatively nice to her would send her to a stranger for his own benefit, and her bond with her family disappeared.
“What… what did I do?” Emma, sensing Emily’s irritated tone, paused for a moment.
“You didn’t give birth to me, nor did you raise me, so on what basis are you giving me away to someone else!?” Even though she moved into the Adams family after the downfall of her own, her Aunt collected her rent and living expenses monthly, so she didn’t owe the Adams family anything!
“You…” Emma obviously hesitated when Emily yelled at her, but soon regained her composure and indignantly said, “True, I didn’t give birth to you or raise you, but don’t forget, it was only because I drugged you and sent you to Eldest Young Master Stuart’s bed that your little brother was able to have his surgery. In the end, you should be thanking me! You ungrateful girl!”
Emma spoke harshly, venting her anger!
Thank her? Emily felt like laughing at this. She sacrificed Emily to another man for her own family business and then expected her to thank her? If one day Emily married into the Stuart family and became the Young Mistress, would she have to support her Aunt?
“Yes, my brother’s surgery went smoothly, and indeed, it’s all thanks to you, Aunt, for sending me to Eldest Young Master Stuart’s bed, and not your own daughter. Otherwise, perhaps Young Master Stuart would be helping not with my brother’s surgery fees, but with your Adams family’s business.”
“What do you mean by this?” Emma seemed to sense something was amiss.
“What do I mean?” Emily chuckled coldly, “Ha, do you really think I would help someone who destroyed my life with their own hands?”
Having said this, Emily hung up the call without waiting for any reaction from Emma.
Maybe she didn’t want the tears in her eyes to fall, so Emily forced herself to look up, allowing the tears to recede.
At this moment, she had already forgotten to leave, and instead dragged her heavy footsteps towards the staircase.
Pushing open a glass door, the night sky outside was filled with countless stars. Although it was summer, luckily there was a cool breeze in the night, slightly relieving Emily’s heavy heart.
Standing at the edge of the rooftop, Emily discovered for the first time that the night view of E City was so beautiful.
If she could, she longed to shake off her exhaustion and troubles in such a lovely cool night and enjoy the city’s breathtaking scenery without the entanglements of worldly affairs, watching the world pass by, unconcerned.
“Did you know that you’re intruding on someone’s privacy?”
A deep and sexy voice suddenly chimed, sounding especially pleasant in this tranquil night.
Emily, completely immersed in her thoughts, was startled by the sudden sound, her body trembling. Instinctively turning her head, a pair of jet black eyes shone brightly in the night but couldn’t hide her terror caused by the surprise.
“Who are you?” Although Emily wasn’t a very timid person, meeting a strange man here still made her somewhat apprehensive.
