Chapter 788 To Frame Her
The only one left was Emmeline.
Therefore, Kayla came to her directly without a second thought.
But judging from how Emmeline looked now, she was not at all frighten to let Kayla search her room. Did she really not take it?
In the meantime, Kayla's thoughts were all over the place. However, since she was already here, she didn't want to waste making the trip for nothing.
So she braced himself and said, "I'm searching! Humph."
After that, she went into the room with her maid Millay.
Throughout the process, the two of them rummaged in the room, and Emmeline sat on the sofa without even looking at them.
On the contrary, when Yunne, her personal maid, walked in to bring Emmeline a cup of tea and saw the scene, her eyes widened in shock.
"Miss Illington, w—what are they doing?"
Seeing that, Yunne was a little anxious.
However, Emmeline remained as still as a mountain when she replied in a low voice, "Yunne, don't stop them. Let them search."
When Yunne saw this, although she was still somewhat unhappy about it, she could not say anything else.
It was not a big room, and Emmeline didn't like hoarding too many things, so the design was quite simple. It was definitely not too difficult to search through her room.
About twenty minutes later, they had searched the whole place.
Meanwhile, Kayla looked embarrassed. When she glanced at Emmeline, who had been sitting on the sofa all the while and didn't even give her a look, she was furious inside and her face was flushing embarrassingly.
Then, Emmeline looked up.
Looking at her with a calm gaze, she asked, "Miss Burke, are you done searching? Have you found your necklace?"
Hearing that, Kayla bit her lip.
in response, she replied stubbornly, "Even if you don't have it in your room, you can't prove that you didn't take it. Maybe you're hiding it somewhere else."
Upon hearing that, Emmeline rised her eyebrows and chuckled.
Seeing her reaction, Kayla was stunned.
To Kayla's surprise, Emmeline was not as angry as she had expected, and there was not even a trace of anger in her.
Sitting there quietly, Emmeline said in a low voice, "Based on what you just said, are you trying to frame me?"
Hearing her words, Kayla choked.
Whilst being stared at by Emmeline's cold gaze, somehow she felt a little guilty.
But at that moment, there was no turning back and it was impossible to retreat. Hence, she must offend Emmeline today.
Instead of retreating, Kayla decided it was better to make a big deal out of it. It would be best if she was kicked out of the house.
With the thought in mind, a trace of viciousness flashed across her eyes.
Looking at Emmeline, she sneered and said, "Whether I am deliberately going against you or you are feeling guilty yourself, we both know the truth. Emmeline, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. That necklace was left by my mother and it is very important to me. If you really take it, I advise you to hand it over, otherwise..."
"Otherwise... What are you going to do?"
Suddenly, Emmeline interrupted with a hint of danger in her tone.
However, Kayla did not noticed it.
Hearing that, Kayla continued. "Otherwise, I'll ask Jara to kick you out of the house! You'll see me making it happen!"
"Ha!"
Surprisingly, Emmeline smiled.
Her smile had always been subtle and slightly careless. However, the more she smiled that way, the more it showed that Kayla was not worth her attention. It was as if she could crush her to death with a single pinch.
With a sneer, she said, "Kayla, to be honest, I really admire you."
Hearing that, Kayla was stunned.
And she frowned subconsciously.
She didn't understand what was Emmeline trying to convey.
Then, Emmeline continued. "Do you know? When I look at you, I feel like I'm looking at a joke, jumping in front of me. Whenever I am in a bad mood, I would look at you and feel like my problems are insignificant. After all, someone as dumb as you are able to live perfectly fine, then why can't I?"
This time, Kayla finally understood her words.
In an instant, her face turned as black as thunder.
With a livid face, she gritted her teeth and said, "Emmeline, how dare you..."
"I wouldn't dare?"
With that, Emmeline stood up.
She was tall and slim. Standing up, she was about five centimeters taller than Kayla, and her powerful aura intensified at once. Although they seemed to have the same height, Emmeline had somehow tensed up the atmosphere, which frightened Kayla.
Approaching her one step after another, she said to Kayla, "I've always believed in a principle. If you don't mess with me, then I won't mess with you. But since you've tried to provoke me several times, and now you're actually trying to frame me. Do you really think I'm a pushover? Do you think I'll just let you do whatever you want to me?"
As Kayla was horrified by her imposing manner, she trembled violently and took a step back.
Gulped, she started stammering. "W—What are you doing?"
Seeing her reaction, Emmeline sneered.
At that moment, Kayla had already been pressured to the corner of the wall.
Suddenly, with a raise of hand, Emmeline placed her hand on the wall to the right side of her head, slightly leaning over, and stared into her eyes sharply.
The distance between the two was really close at this point. In fact, it was so close that Kayla could almost feel the cold breath Emmeline exhaled on her.
Emmeline was so apathetic that even her breath was cold. She was really not a normal person!
When the thought flashed through her mind, she suddenly felt pain in her ear. Out of nowhere, Emmeline pulled out a dagger, and the shining blade was rested just beside her ear.
At that moment, Kayla was so scared that her face had turned pale, and her body froze in shock.
Even her mouth was trembling.
"You, you, you, what are you doing?"
Hearing that, Emmeline sneered.
A gentle breath brushed across the side of her ear.
Her voice was so soft that she didn't seem to be threatening her. Instead, it sounded as if she was saying something lovely.
However, because of that, it left Kayla feeling even more afraid. She felt as if Emmeline was like a cold poisonous snake, crawling all the way up from behind her ears, which gave her goosebumps.
Then, Emmeline continued softly, "Guess where the last person who framed me and deliberately went against me has gone now?"
Kayla thought to herself, she hadn't known her for a long time, so how would she know who was the last person who framed her?
However, Emmeline didn't seem to expect an answer from her.
She said softly, "When she died, I used this dagger to cut open her skin, her face, her body, and her legs. I made a total of 91 cuts on her before finally making the last deadly cut in her throat."
As soon as Emmeline said that, Kayla's face turned as white as sheet.
Somehow, she seemed to feel the pain of the blade cutting on her flesh.
At that moment, she thought the woman before her eyes was a demon who crawled out from hell.
With a trembling voice, Kayla responded. "Y—You dare... If you dare to touch me, Jara will not let you off."
Again, Emmeline sneered.
"Oh? Really? What if I don't believe it? Why don't we give it a try? Let's see if he'll avenge you after you die."
