Chapter 798 Eyes Boggled at the Sight of Money
Back then, Emmeline turned out as they had expected, becoming the person that incited the fight between the Salvation Club and the Lost Vanguard, and caused the two biggest underground forces to exhaust each other to the point where they crumbled.
But now, she was all alone. To them, she should be completely useless and no longer posed a threat.
Why were they still chasing after her and even sent out so many people to kill her?
For that, Emmeline was puzzled. In fact, it wasn't just her, even Jara had the same doubt.
It was only then that they realized that things were far more complicated than they had imagined.
Seeing that she had finished reading the information, he walked over to a chair next to her and sat down since he was not in a hurry. Then, he asked her, "What do you have in mind?"
Hearing that, Emmeline turned around and looked at him.
Her mind was still in a mess, and she couldn't figure it out, but she felt a little uneasy.
Shaking her head, she replied, "I don't know."
Hearing her response, Jara fell silent.
His long and slender fingers were tapping away on the armrest of the char. After a long while, he finally uttered in a deep voice, "Based on what happened, it seems like they want to catch you alive. Do you have anything on you that they would covet?"
When Emmeline heard the question, she was at a loss.
Neither of them spoke for a moment, and both of them were lost in confusion.
Suddenly, they heard someone crying outside.
Both of them were stunned for a moment. However, when Emmeline heard the person's voice, her expression changed greatly in an instant.
Her face was already quite pale previously, but suddenly it became as white as sheet.
"Keira, my poor daughter, you died so miserably. It's all because of your heartless friend. Don't worry, I'll definitely avenge you. Keira!"
It was Mr.Murray's voice!
Looking at her face which quickly turned pale, Jara knew that it was impossible to keep it as a secret from her, and he couldn't keep it from her forever anyway.
So, in a very low voice, he explained. "Keira is dead. I brought her body back and arranged for the professionals to repair her appearance. She's placed at Tower B at the moment. When you are better, you can see her any time."
He knew that when Emmeline found out Keira died for her after she woke up, she would definitely want to see her.
As expected, Emmeline nodded and said with a pale face, "I want to go now."
Hearing that, Jara frowned.
He took a glance at her body, which was wrapped tightly by gauze. After a few seconds of silence, he didn't refuse her request.
Hence, he bent down and picked her up from the bed.
Suddenly, Emmeline froze and reflexively, she was refusing his help.
However, Jara stopped her with a cold tone.
"Behave yourself if you want to see her! Otherwise, in your current state, do you expect to climb over there on your own?"
Immediately, Emmeline suddenly stopped moving.
After a while, her stiff body relaxed a little.
She knew that he was right. It was impossible for her to walk to Tower B in her current state.
Seeing that she stopped moving, Jara didn't say anything else and carried her downstairs.
As soon as he reached the bottom of the stairs, he saw Skyler Murray, Keira's father, sitting in the hall.
He sat there, crying and howling loudly while wiping away his tears. There were no other servants in the hall as they were probably ordered to avoid him. Only Uncle Poick stood there silently without trying to comfort him, as he allowed Skyler to vent his anger.
When Uncle Poick saw Jara and Emmeline came downstairs, he was slightly taken aback and was a little surprised too.
On the other hand, with his sharp eyes, Skylar saw Emmeline in Jara's arms at first glance. His eyes turned red and immediately rushed toward her.
"You b*tch! You killed my daughter. I'll kill you."
However, before he could get close to her, Uncle Poick stopped him.
Looking at him calmly, Uncle Poick said in a low voice, "Mr. Murray, we sympathize with you for what had happened. But the person who killed her was not Miss Illington. Like you, we despise the culprits behind this too, and we will try our best to catch them and avenge your beloved daughter. But this will only happen if Miss Illington is alive. I hope Mr. Murray can understand."
Of course, Skylar understood that clearly.
When he learned the news of his daughter's death, he did mourn for her and was sad.
But soon, he learned that the culprit behind the death of his daughter was Emmeline.
Then, when he was on his way to look for Emmeline, he found out where she was living, and the mysterious man behind who helped her—Jara.
When Skylar was young, he used to hang around in the underworld for a period of time. As a result, he vaguely heard of Jara's name before.
He knew how powerful he was, and he also knew that he had a notorious reputation. Hence, he was not someone to be trifled with.
Therefore, of course, Skyler knew the boundaries.
This time, he actually came here to ask for money, and he didn't really want to get himself in real danger.
Therefore, when he heard Uncle Poick's words, he immediately stopped, slightly gasping as he stared at Emmeline with an angry face.
Gnashing his teeth, he yelled. "Even if she didn't kill my daughter, she died because of her! You want me to let this go?"
When the words came out, Uncle Poick's gaze slightly flickered.
Not far away, Emmeline's face turned completely pale.
No matter how much she hated Skyler, she had no choice but to take on Keira's responsibility.
Before the accident, Keira was still describing her beautiful future to Emmeline, and her plans to fulfill her dreams.
But, in the blink of an eye, she was now lying in the cold room, no longer breathing.
Although Emmeline felt pain at heart, when facing repulsive Skyler, she felt ashamed at this moment.
Seeing this, Uncle Poick uttered in a deep voice, "Mr. Murray, you can rest assured that since your daughter saved Miss Illington, we will not let her die in vain. Of course, it is our mistake that caused Miss Murray's misfortune. We will not shirk the responsibility. In two days, when everything is settled, we will naturally compensate Mr. Murray accordingly."
Skyler's eyes lit up when he heard the word 'compensate.'
However, he refused to give up, as he snorted and said, "You seem to imply that I came here only to ask for money."
Hearing that, Uncle Poick slightly smiled.
He had seen too many people like Skyler, so it was not difficult for him to deal with this kind of person.
With a smile, he added, "Of course not. We know that no matter how much money we pay, we can't make up for what's happened to Miss Murray. But now, we really have no other way to make up for you except for giving you some money. Even if you don't worry for yourself about the rest of your life, you have to think for Miss Murray. If she knows that you have a hard time in the future, she won't feel at ease."
His words finally managed to shut Skyler up.
Then, Skylar took a glance at Emmeline and Jara who were standing nearby, then at Uncle Poick, as he rolled his eyes, and said with a sneer, "That's more like it."
