Chapter 825 One Step Ahead of Her
Usually, Emmeline would stay in the castle for her own safety. However, how could a loving couple like them miss out on a romantic date under the lightings full of blessings?
Therefore, that would be her reason to go out during the Festival of Light. Besides, she believed that although the other party had not taken any action this month, they hadn't given up on her.
In reality, they were also looking for an opportunity, and this day would be the best day for them.
Hence, they would definitely do something. In this case, she could take them down at once to investigate their purpose and the forces behind them.
But too bad...
At the thought of something, Emmeline smiled sarcastically.
Originally, she wanted to tell Jara this plan at the boxing gym that day.
Unexpectedly, she saw Kayla and him together, and the both of them almost fully undressed.
At that time, she was so mad, so she didn't say anything. Later on, as she considered the importance of this plan, she decided to find him again and tell him. Nevertheless, Kayla coincidently came to find fault, and he chose to stand on Kayla's side without a doubt.
Even now, Emmeline still couldn't understand why a smart man like Jara would be fooled by Kayla's petty tricks over and over again.
In fact, those were the dirty tricks that she wouldn't even bother to use anymore since she was ten years old. How could he not realize them?
Perhaps, he was deeply charmed by Kayla.
As he had fallen in love with Kayla, love clouded his judgment, resulting in his disability to see through such an obvious scheme.
In short, no matter what the reason was, Emmeline was very disappointed in Jara.
Besides, she wouldn't expect him to take part in her plan anymore.
Since today was the Festival of Light, she didn't want to wait any longer.
So, even if she was doing this alone, she had to leave the castle. As for whether the other party would take the bait or not, she would leave it to fate.
Having this thought, she sighed.
Then, she said lightly to Yunne, "You don't have to know much about this. All you need to do is to let everyone in the castle knows that I am going out to celebrate the Festival of Lights, do you understand?"
Right away, Yunne responded with a nod. "Yes, Miss Illington. Please be rest assured. When I was inquiring about the festival, I pretended that I don't know anything about it."
"To let everyone believe that I don't know, I especially asked about the celebration programs and the fun places to go on that day. Later, when I went to a jewelry store, I also told them that I would come out with you today and bring you there."
"Moreover, I followed what you said and exaggerated that you could hardly leave the castle, and you were dying to take a breather. With that, I am sure that they won't doubt anything."
When Emmeline heard that, she nodded in satisfaction.
"That's great."
Then, she looked at the time. It was already ten o'clock in the morning.
Since this festival was about lightings, the celebration would naturally take place in the evening.
Therefore, she still had plenty of time.
Thinking of this, Emmeline waved Yunne off and went back to her room to rest. She needed to conserve her strength. After all, there might be a tough battle in the evening.
Meanwhile, in another room of Tower B.
Millay found that Kayla—who was full of vigor and contentment the day before—seemed to be dispirited for some unknown reason.
Even though outside her room, she was as snobbish and complacent as usual, the moment she returned to her room, her arrogant smile faded.
Seeing Kayla in this state, Millay wondered what turned her into the way she was now.
Last night, during the incident, Jara was clearly on Kayla's side.
Wasn't this enough to make her happy?
Thinking of this, Millay became more and more confused.
Thus, she came forward and asked, "Miss Burke, are you okay? Why do you seem unhappy?"
Kayla glanced at Millay as she sneered.
"What's there to be happy about?"
For the whole time, Jara was fooling around with her, and soon, he was going to send her away. How could she be content?
At the thought of Jara, she gritted her teeth in hatred.
He was really heartless.
No matter how affectionate she was, he wasn't moved, and he never thought about letting her stay by his side.
Besides, to win him over, she even endured the humiliation and agreed to help him seduce Luca.
Even so, he was still as cold and uncaring as ever.
In fact, he would only pretend that he was concerned about herself in front of Emmeline.
Kayla knew that it was because he wanted Emmeline to be jealous.
He didn't do this for her, but for Emmeline!
When Kayla thought of this, her eyes were burning with fury.
On the other hand, Millay didn't know what Kayla was thinking. When she saw Kayla lying in her bed with a black face and piercing eyes, she could feel a chill down her spine.
Even so, she mustered up her courage and called, "Miss Burke?"
Upon hearing Millay's voice, Kayla came back to her senses.
Dspleased, she looked up at Millay. "What?"
Millay breathed a sigh of relief.
With that, she placed a jar of cookies in front of her. "You haven't eaten anything since morning, so I bring you some cookies. If you're hungry, you can snack on them first. Lunch will be served in another hour and a half."
Hearing that, Kayla glanced at the cookie jar.
There was a look of disgust in her eyes.
Then, she pushed the cookie jar aside and demanded, "I don't like this. Go to the kitchen and fetch me a glass of iced lemon tea."
To her, iced lemon tea was the best beverage to have during the hot summer. Not only could this drink promote hydration, but it could also flush out toxins and improve skin complexion.
Upon receiving the order, Millay replied, "Yes, I'll get it right away."
After that, she wheeled around and quickly left.
Seeing how obedient she was, Kayla felt pleased.
Soon, Millay returned with a glass of iced lemon tea.
When she entered the room, there was a trace of joy on her face.
As soon as she saw Kayla, she immediately took a few steps forward, put down the food tray, and said excitedly, "Miss Burke, guess who I met just now?"
Looking up at Millay, Kayla unenthusiastically asked, "Who?"
"Yunne. The sight of that b*tch really annoys me. Coincidentally, she was also there to make a glass of iced lemon tea for Miss Illington. At that time, there was only one lemon left, so I quickly grabbed it. You see, here it is! Now, they will have to wait for the kitchen staff to restock the lemons. Too bad."
