Chapter 766 A Three-Day Deal
Instantly, the coldness in Jara's eyes grew even more intense.
Then, he rebuked coldly, "Are you threatening me?"
Hearing that, Emmeline sighed.
Shaking her head, she walked to his side. "Oh my god, how can you say that? I'm just analyzing the pros and cons for you. If you refuse to cooperate with me, that's fine. I heard that the Sapphire family was also eyeing this map recently. They must be very interested!"
"Since you turn down this opportunity, I'll find them. After all, I've met Seven several times, and I like her a lot."
"I heard that she's from the Sapphire family, and after all, we are close. So, instead of giving someone else, I think it's better to give goodies like this to the people I like."
"Yeap, I think this is the best way. With that, I can finally reminisce about the old days with her. Anyhow, I really miss her after not seeing her for a few years."
The more she spoke, the darker Jara's face became.
Finally, when she finished, his face had become as dark as charcoal.
Even so, he smirked and replied sarcastically, "For a person who was imprisoned for the past four years, you've heard quite a lot."
Raising her eyebrows, Emmeline said with a smile, "By now, you must've regretted that you didn't kill me at that time."
"You are right. It's quite regretful," Jara sneered.
"Tsk! Too bad, you won't have a chance now."
As she spoke, she walked up to him and looked at his handsome face. "I told you long ago that if you didn't kill me, sooner or later, I would come back and seek revenge on you. Oh, by the way, please don't bring me here in the future, I find them disgusting. After all, Salvation Club is still living strong!"
After she was done speaking, her eyes completely turned cold.
Stretching out her foot, she glanced at the pattern on the ground nonchalantly and smudged it before she turned around and walked toward the exit coldly.
Her voice came from afar, with a trace of coldness and resoluteness.
"Jara, show your sincerity if you want to cooperate with me. Come and find me within three days. If not, don't blame me for handing it over to someone else."
After that, she left.
Jara didn't chase after her. Instead, he stood there quietly, staring coldly at the back of her departing figure.
Strangely, looking at her confident and unrestrained appearance, he was not embarrassed nor mad. On the contrary, he felt glad.
In the end, she had grown into the woman that she always wanted to be.
......
By the time Jara descended the mountain, half an hour had passed.
As Quan saw him from afar, he quickly jumped out of the driver's seat and quickly went toward him.
"Mr. Holland."
Noticing that Jara was the only one who walked out, Quan was stunned.
"Mr. Holland, where is Miss Illington..."
At that moment, Jara looked tense. Without answering Quan's question, he went straight past Quan and got into the car. "Start the car," he ordered coldly.
Shocked, Quan realized that Jara was in a bad mood, so he kept quiet.
After that, he quickly got into the car, started it, and drove toward the city.
On the other side, Emmeline went home by taking a taxi.
At that time, she really didn't want to be in the same car as Jara. If she stayed with him for a few more hours, she might lose control and kill him.
Thinking of this, she raised her hand and touched her neck.
The sore sensation was still there. With that, she took out her phone and look at her neck by using the selfie camera. There were two faint red marks on it.
Secretly, she gritted her teeth.
Enraged, she cursed inwardly, "You're pretty harsh, son of a b*tch!"
However, this wasn't the first time he mistreated her. Four years ago, for countless times, he had abused her way more ruthlessly than this.
So, she was used to it. After she gently rubbed her neck, she put down her cell phone and ignored it.
Then, the taxi drove all the way to the city. When she returned to Keira's dormitory, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.
During the autumn, the sky would get dark earlier, so it was completely dark now.
In the meantime, the lights in the city were ablaze. When Emmeline got out of the taxi, she suddenly remembered that she didn't have any money with her.
In an instant, she was utterly embarrassed.
Sure enough, no matter how powerful she was, without money, she was nothing.
Helplessly, she had no choice but to be thick-skinned and call Keira to bring some money down and pay the fare.
At first, when the driver saw her rummaging around, having no money, he thought that he had encountered a freeloader.
However, she was beautiful and clean-dressed, so he thought it shouldn't be the case. Besides, she was a young girl, and she seemed bashful, so he didn't say anything.
Although he stayed silent, he was still worried.
Later, when she called someone to bring down the money, he was relieved.
Soon, Keira came down with several pieces of banknotes in her hand.
Right away, she handed the money to Emmeline. At the sight of Emmeline handing the money to the driver, she could feel her heart aching.
With that, she asked Emmeline, "Where have you been, Emmeline? Why is the fare so expensive?"
Actually, Emmeline was also embarrassed.
Feeling awkward, she touched her head and replied, "Let's go upstairs first. We'll talk about it when we reach home."
Hearing that, Keira could only nod.
Afterward, the two of them went upstairs and returned to Keira's room.
During this hour, Keira's roommates had gone to work.
To accompany Emmeline, Keira took a leave today. In fact, tomorrow was also her normal rest day, so she had two days to rest.
Just now, when Emmeline hadn't returned, Keira thought of calling Emmeline to ask if she would be back at any time.
Coincidently, Emmeline's call came in, and the first thing she said was to bring her some money.
Keira's monthly salary was no more than three thousand. Thus, when she spent five hundred dollars on Emmeline's taxi fare, she was sorrowful.
Nevertheless, she was worried that Emmeline would overthink, so she tried her best to conceal her feelings.
But even if she hid her feelings well, it didn't mean that Emmeline wouldn't know anything.
After all, Emmeline was quick-witted.
From an early age, she needed to rely on her own intelligence to make a living. As time passed, thinking in someone else's shoes and be understanding had become one of her great abilities.
Therefore, she could understand Keira's current situation very well.
And because of this, she was mad at her own mistake today.
Even so, she knew that all these difficulties would be gone someday.
Soon enough, she would have her own things to do, and by then, she would be able to repay Keira.
At the thought of this, she felt less guilty.
On the other hand, Keira didn't understand what Emmeline was thinking. After sitting down, she looked at Emmeline and asked worriedly, "Where have you been today?"
