Chapter 822 Your Way Out
As a result, Emmeline was imprisoned for four years.
All of a sudden, she was baffled.
Looking at Jara, she asked in a low voice, "Do you really believe that I am the one who pushed her down?"
With an indifferent expression, Jara answered, "The truth is right in front of us."
At once, Emmeline laughed.
Sitting in the wheelchair with a pale face, she laughed in sadness and disbelief.
Then, she sighed, "Four years ago, you didn't believe me. Four years later, you came to me again and begged me to stay. At first, I thought it was because you realized your mistake and hoped that we could reconcile."
"But now, I realize that I am too naive. I should've known that once a person doesn't believe in me, no matter how long time has passed or how many things he has experienced, he never will."
"I don't hate you, Jara. Instead, I find it amusing. Why can you never judge a situation as clearly as the others did?"
She paused for a while as if she had lost her strength to speak.
And she couldn't bother to explain anymore.
With that, the surroundings fell into a dead silence.
As Emmeline didn't have the urge to stay here anymore, she turned to Yunne and said, "Let's go back."
To that, Yunne agreed. Then, she pushed the wheelchair and left.
That night, Tower B was bustling with activity.
Even though it was already in the middle of the night, Emmeline could still hear the sound of people coming in and out of the next door, as well as the sound of a woman crying.
Through the noises, she knew that the servants were busy serving Kayla, while Kayla was complaining to Jara.
Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, she looked at the night sky outside while feeling complicated.
Actually, at that time, she agreed to stay with Jara because she was still hopeful.
Although so many conflicts had taken place in the past, she didn't want to be bothered by it anymore.
So, she thought to herself that she should let go of her past and start over.
However, now, she realized that there wasn't always a chance to start over.
Once something bad happened, it would leave a scar in her heart.
Even if everything seemed to be all right at ordinary times, the scar would reopen at a critical moment, reminding her how painful it was.
Feeling gloomy, Emmeline closed her eyes.
After a long time, she took out her cell phone and made a phone call.
"Hey, Caden. It's Emmeline. I need your help to do one more thing."
......
At the same time, on the other side.
With a pitiful look, Kayla was sitting on her bed.
Before that, when the doctor arrived, he immediately performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on her. Once she woke up, Jara ordered someone to send her back to her room.
At this time, she had already changed her clothes. While having a glass of ginger tea, she was waiting for Jara to say something.
Deep down, she was aware that she could fool anyone except Jara about today's incident.
As for why he would play along with her, she was still clueless about it.
Thinking of this, she stole a glance at Jara.
At that moment, he was sitting on the sofa while exuding a cold aura.
Looking at him, she felt a little guilty. After a while, she asked in a low voice, "Jara, are you okay?"
Instantly, Jara asked in return, "Why are you doing this?"
Hearing that, Kayla froze.
Soon, she realized that he was referring to today's incident, and she bit her lips nervously.
"We made a bet, didn't we? You agreed that before I went to Luca, you would let me test Emmeline's feelings for you."
"Is this how you test her?" Jara ridiculed.
Instantaneously, Kayla became bold and confident.
"How should I test her then? If a woman cares about a man, she will be jealous. The more jealous she is, the more she cares about you, unless..."
She paused and looked at him cautiously.
"Unless she doesn't love you anymore."
After hearing Kayla's explanation, Jara sneered again, "So, in your opinion, does she still love me?"
At once, Kayla chuckled awkwardly.
"Are you sure you want to know the truth?"
Jara didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Kayla decided to be frank, "I don't know what she's thinking, but on the surface, I feel like she doesn't really care about you."
Right away, Jara's brows slightly furrowed.
Then, Kayla continued to analyze, "When you misunderstood her, she wasn't agitated at all. Besides, she couldn't even bother to explain. This shows that she doesn't care about what you think of her. Although it might be because she is indifferent, she was so enthusiastic when she was helping a servant this afternoon. Why do you think she treats you coldly then?"
When Jara heard that, his frown deepened.
Seeing his reaction, she was more complacent.
"Furthermore, you were so heartless to her back then. If you do this to another woman, she would've probably loathed you long ago, let alone get back with you again."
To that, Jara scoffed.
"I have no intention to get back with her."
Kayla was stunned.
Deep down, she thought that men are indeed stubborn.
However, this wasn't a bad thing for her. In this way, Jara and Emmeline would easily misunderstand each other.
Thinking of this, she turned her eyes and suggested, "Why don't I apologize to her tomorrow? Since you can't bear to see her sad, I'll apologize and let her vent her anger."
Even so, Jara's face suddenly darkened.
"Leave her alone," he warned in a cold tone.
After that, he stood up. Before Kayla could react, she saw that he had already strode toward the door.
When disappointment began to rose in her heart, Jara stopped and said, "In five days, it will be Old Mrs. Marsh's birthday. I will take you to her banquet, and I believe you know what to do."
When Kayla heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
"This is so sudden!" she exclaimed.
Realizing what she had said, she immediately shut her mouth and carefully looked at him.
"Didn't you say that you would wait until I find out Emmeline's actual feelings?"
Upon hearing what she said, Jara turned around and gave her a cold stare.
"Do you really think that I promised you because I couldn't see through her feelings?" he scorned.
At once, Kayla was dumb struck.
Shortly after, she heard the cold and deep voice of Jara.
"I have known her since she was eight years old, so I know exactly what she is thinking and doing, and I don't need an outsider to prove it to me. In fact, I promised you out of the spur of the moment, and I wanted to see her jealous. Now, I've achieved my goal."
"As for our bet, you will never have a chance to win. So, you should give up and focus on Luca instead. Maybe you can find your way out."
