Chapter 799 There's More Than Meets the Eye
Uncle Poick was a great wheeler-dealer.
Knowing that it was not the right time to create more troubles, he quickly sent away Skyler.
As for the matter of money, Jara had always been generous. So, as long as Uncle Poick could shut Skyler's mouth and stop him from causing any trouble for Emmeline, it would be worth it regardless of the amount of money.
After he was taken away by Uncle Poick, Jara then carried Emmeline and walked towards Tower B where Keira was placed.
As the incident happened too quickly, after Keira's accident, her body was supposed to be taken away by the police.
However, Jara knew Emmeline had a good relationship with her, and he also knew that she died for Emmeline.
Therefore, he sent his men to stop the police at the time.
There was no need to investigate the nature of this matter as it was already quite obvious.
Knowing that they were Keira's family members and the police knew Jara personally, they were not afraid that he would run away with her body. Therefore, they didn't stop him from taking her away.
After the body was brought back, Jara arranged for her to be placed in the lobby of Tower B.
At present, he walked over with Emmeline in his arms, and from a distance, they could see a temporary and simple funeral parlor set up in the lobby.
A huge coffin was positioned at the centre of the parlor, and Keira was lying quietly inside the coffin.
Seeing that, Emmeline froze.
As Jara put her down, he said in a low voice, "I knew you would want to see her, so I kept her here on purpose, but this is not her home. When you are done, I'll ask Skyler to take her back."
After a pause, he comforted. "Time will heal. Don't be too sad"
Hearing that, Emmeline didn't speak.
Instead, she pursed her lips tightly. From the moment she came in, her eyes were fixed on the huge coffin.
With Jara's help, they walked over difficultly.
The coffin was made from premium wood. Covered with a layer of black paint, fresh flowers were placed around the coffin. They were bought by Uncle Poick last night.
Step by step, Emmeline moved toward the coffin.
She rested her hands on the edge of the coffin and looked inside.
At first glance, her tears began rolling down.
Keira was lying quietly in the coffin. Her thin face was as white as sheet, and the clothes on her body had been changed. She was wearing a beautiful white dress looking like a holy angel.
If it weren't for the fact that her pulse had stopped and her face color was abnormal, she would have looked just the same as usual.
She was so young and beautiful; she had so much vitality and energy.
Emmeline felt a great pain in her heart as if she had been gouged by a knife, creating a huge hole in her heart.
She could feel her blood gushing out and the wind passing through her heart, which caused a chill going down her spine.
"Keira..."
Choking with her words as she burst into tears, she could not even finish a complete sentence.
Seeing that, Jara didn't step forward to comfort her.
Instead, he just stood quietly beside her, staring at her solemnly.
The rest of the people in the funeral parlor had all retreated, leaving only the two of them, who were alive, in the vast space.
Jara looked at her silently, looking at her feeling the pain and remorse, and at her trying to wake Keira up over and over again.
"Keira, I'm here. Open your eyes and look at me. Didn't you say that you want to start a clothing brand, open a clothing store, and become the world's most famous fashion designer?"
"Wake up and look at me. Whatever you want to do, I'll do it with you. I'll help you achieve all your dreams."
"I beg you, open your eyes and look at me."
Emmeline always thought that her tears had dried up long ago.
But it wasn't until today that she realized that it was not.
She could still feel pain; she could still feel sad; when facing the death of someone she loved, she could not accept it still, and she was unwilling to face it.
Only God knew that if she could, she would rather be the one who died that day.
It shouldn't be her who sacrificed her life for Emmeline.
But, it was not up to one's choice to decide what could happen in this world.
Just like it was impossible for the dead to come alive.
With her head lowered, she allowed her tears to flow freely, and her hands were trembling slightly as she held on to Keira's cold hands.
After a long time, her throat became hoarse, and her tears seemed to have dried up from crying.
Gently putting Keira's hand down, she reached out to tidy her collar and her hair as she forced a bitter smile.
Then, she said softly, "Sleep now. I know that you are very tired, so you can finally rest now. I will not let any of those who have hurt you go. Don't worry, I won't let them die in peace."
When she said the last sentence, there was a hint of ruthlessness in her tone.
Hearing that, Jara was slightly stunned.
In the next second, he saw Emmeline wiped away her tears and turned around.
At this moment, although there were still traces of tears on her face, Jara could clearly see that the weakness and pain in her eyes had slowly faded away.
Instead, it was filled with hatred and cruelness.
"I heard that you caught those people and brought them back?"
When Jara heard the question, his face darkened as he looked at her.
"What do you want to do?"
"Take me to see them."
"No."
Without thinking, he rejected her.
But Emmeline sneered.
Walking to him, she looked up at him, and said coldly in a defiant tone, "They killed my friend. I want to avenge her."
When Jara heard that, his brows deepened as he looked at her stubborn attitude and the hatred in her eyes.
In the end, he shook his head.
"Now is not the time."
Pursing his lips, he continued. "She died for you. Those people were targeting you, but you had nothing to do with Salvation Club or the circle since you were imprisoned four years ago. Don't you want to know why they are looking for you?"
After hearing the suggestion, Emmeline was slightly shocked.
Then, Jara clapped his hands.
Meanwhile, Quan, who had been standing outside the door, came in with a few documents in his hands. With his head lowered slightly, he handed them to Jara.
Jara took it over and passed it to Emmeline.
"Take a look at this first."
After Emmeline took it and looked at it carefully, her expression changed slightly.
Then, Jara explained, "This information was gathered last night. After a thorough interrogation and coupled with Quan's investigation results, the data showed that the person who hit you with the car was different from the people who kidnapped you later on."
"Which means, now there are two groups of people going after you. The group of people who kidnapped you was from the Icarus Association."
"We don't know why they are looking for you, but those guys are just minions, and the leaders won't tell them their actual plans."
"But for the person who hit you with the car, he was already poisoned to death when the car crashed into the bridge and fell into the river."
