Chapter 763 A Bit of a Concern
Jara looked at her coldly, but he did not take her words into his heart and demanded, "Get in!"
Upon hearing that, Emmeline smiled.
She was still as negligent as usual, except that her eyes were colder this time.
"Where are we going?"
Jara didn't answer her.
Instantly, the atmosphere between them became unusually silent and awkward.
Even Quan broke out in a cold sweat.
After a while, Jara uttered in a low voice, "Why? Are you afraid that I will kill you?"
"Ha!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Emmeline sneered.
Then, without a word, she opened the door and got in the car.
The door was closed with a slam, and the car fell into silence. Quan went white as he was wondering what was going to happen next.
Through the rearview mirror, he looked at Jara while quacking in his boots.
After that, Jara instructed, "Take us to The Grim Hills."
Upon receiving his order, Quan agreed and quickly started the car.
Meanwhile, in the dormitory building, Keira frowned as she looked at the black Rolls-Royce driving away.
Ever since just now, she felt that something was weird. Later, when she went to the balcony to dry her clothes, she unexpectedly saw Emmeline get into the car.
Actually, Keira didn't know much about Emmeline's life after leaving the orphanage. Emmeline had never told her about it.
Even so, she suspected that Emmeline was doing something dangerous.
Therefore, when she got the news that Emmeline was imprisoned due to accidental killing, she was not really surprised. Instead, she was sad.
In fact, she had tried to find out more about Emmeline's case.
However, the authorities refuse to disclose anything, neither did Emmeline. All she knew was Emmeline's term of imprisonment.
Therefore, she was still clueless, but she decided not to ask Emmeline anymore.
Why was Emmeline being taken away by such a luxury car? She just came out of prison and had no one to rely on.
Keira was worried that something would happen. Moreover, she didn't know who was in the car.
Personally, she hoped that Emmeline wouldn't return to her former profession.
In the past, no matter how well Emmeline had disguised herself, she couldn't hide everything from Keira. After all, Keira wasn't a fool, and she was big enough to sense something.
For the whole time, she had a rough idea of what Emmeline was doing. Thus, she hoped that this time, Emmeline could turn over a new leaf.
Nevertheless, Emmeline seemed to be in contact with those people from the past.
Although Keira knew that she had no right to exhort Emmeline, she was still worried.
Thinking of this, Keira sighed helplessly.
In any case, it was too late to stop Emmeline.
All she could do was to wait until Emmeline return home at night.
After pulling herself out of her thoughts, Keira turned around and went into the house.
On the other side, in the car.
The atmosphere was extremely oppressive. It was a two-hour journey from here to The Grim Hills.
Quan knew why Jara chose to bring Emmeline there.
And because of that, he was a bundle of nerves.
As one of the remaining people who witnessed the battle four years ago, he knew that Emmeline was not as simple as she seemed.
To him, she was like a deadly virus or the most poisonous opium that could kill a person at any time.
With that thought, his face changed.
And he got more panicked.
Compared with his nervousness, the two people sitting in the back row were much calmer.
Ever since Emmeline got in the car, she and Jara stayed silent.
Although the two of them sat there peacefully, they were sitting far apart from each other, as if there was a clear line between them.
As the atmosphere was way too harmonious, it seemed abnormal. After all, they were mortal enemies
At that moment, Jara's expression was calm. With a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle's, he stared straight ahead.
As for Emmeline, she was staring out the window.
On her poise face, there was no trace of hatred or malevolence.
Besides, she was smiling faintly, which made her seemed amicable.
If outsiders were to see such a scene, they wouldn't know that there was a deep undercurrent between them. On the contrary, they would mistake them as a young couple who was out for a vacation.
For a long time, the car was in silence.
Although the car was full of Jara's aura, Emmeline didn't seem to be bothered by it.
Finally, two hours later, the car arrived at The Grim Hills 100 miles away from the suburbs.
It was a desolate area. Except for a few agritourism destinations, there was nothing fun here.
However, up the hill, there was a graveyard.
Quan got out of the car and opened the car door for them. Then, Jara quietly got off the car, followed by Emmeline.
On an autumn afternoon, the air was cold. Although they were covered in the bright sunlight, there was no warmth. Instead, they could feel the chilliness from the gusts of the cold wind coming from the early winter.
Emmeline stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the dense trees and the tree-lined stone path with a grim face.
At this point, how could she not know why Jara had brought her here?
As if she thought of something, she scorned as derision occupied her heart.
On the other hand, Jara still didn't say anything. After he ordered Quan to park the car and look after the car, he walked up the mountain alone.
Seeing this, Quan was concerned.
However, as Jara looked stern, he did not dare to stop Jara.
Regardless of that, he still hoped that he could do something for Jara.
So, when Emmeline walked over, Quan shot her a scowl as if he was warning her.
Even so, he had underestimated Emmeline.
Anyhow, she was the top killer of Salvation Club and was used to have blood on her hands. Why would she be intimidated by a small assistant?
Therefore, she ignored him and went up the mountain.
Seeing this, Quan was still worried, but there was no other way.
He could only see them off and returned to the car to wait.
It was getting late.
When Emmeline came out, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and when they arrived here, it was already 4:30 p.m.
Since it was late autumn, the sun had begun to set.
As the golden sunset made its way down the horizon, it cast a golden hue across the mountain.
