Chapter 830 The Only Person I Trust
Emmeline continued, "It's not because I care about you. I am just grateful that you're willing to help me find those people. So, I don't want to owe you again, and I can't afford to owe you more. Do you get it?"
What she said was the truth, and also her heartfelt wish.
However, Jara suddenly burst into laughter.
"Oh, Emmeline. You have already owed me. What right do you have to say that you don't want to owe me again?"
Hearing that, Emmeline was stunned.
Then, she took a deep breath and uttered, "Fine, I admit it. This matter is crucial and dangerous, Jara. And now, you are the only one I can trust because no matter how many grudges we had in the past, you are the one who would come for me when I am in danger. So, this time, please bring me back safely and capture those who want to harm me. You won't disappoint me, will you?"
Once again, after four years, she looked at Jara with such sincere and trusting eyes, which reminded him of a long-lost emotion.
As he looked at Emmeline, his gaze became deeper, and his adam's apple rolled.
After a while, he answered in a hoarse voice, "I won't."
Instantaneously, Emmeline smiled.
"Great. Do as I say then. Tell everyone that I poisoned Kayla. After I leave the castle alone in the evening, secretly follow me with a group of people. However, remember not to follow too closely because they are too cunning. Through this poisoning incident, I realize that they have sneaked someone into the castle."
"Or perhaps, someone in the castle actually works as their spy. I know that you carefully selected the people around you, and they are very trustworthy. Even so, it's always wise to play safe."
Naturally, Jara understood what she meant. After all, it was a matter of their life and death. Thus, they should take things seriously.
After he nodded heavily, he said, "Alright, got it."
Hearing that, Emmeline smiled and turned her head away.
"You may go now."
At once, Jara was stunned.
He knew that she was asking him to start proceeding with the plan.
Besides, he also knew that after he stepped out of this door, he had to start a quarrel with her within a short period of time.
When he thought about that, a sweet and bitter feeling somehow arose in his heart.
Looking straight at her, he asked, "When everything was over, can we sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk?"
As soon as Emmeline heard that, her heart skips a beat.
Even so, she didn't look back at him. Instead, she stared out of the window into the distance.
Only after a while, she responded, "Sure."
Satisfied, Jara came forward, bent down, and kissed her forehead.
With that, her body slightly trembled, and she heard his low, hoarse voice.
"I'll wait for you to come back, Emmeline."
I would wait for you to come back, Emmeline.
It was such an ordinary sentence, but strangely, her eyes were filled with tears.
At that moment, the memories of her sweet moments with him flashed into her mind one by one, just like a movie reel.
With a pair of red eyes, she forced a smile and nodded.
"Okay."
Only then, Jara turned around and strode toward the door.
Upon reaching the door, he halted and turned around. Then, with a wave of his hand, a vase placed on the shoe shelf fell.
"Shatter!"
A loud smashing sound alarmed everyone.
After that, the servants outside the room could hear Jara yelling from inside, "Indeed! It's you who poisoned Kayla!"
Then, Emmeline replied with a cold voice.
"Don't you hear me? I said I didn't!"
"Stop denying it! For the past few days, you have tried to harm her again and again. I thought that you would become better, so I tolerate you. However, I did not expect that not only did you not reflect on your mistakes, but you also became worse. You have greatly disappointed me!"
With that, Emmeline responded with an angry yet aggrieved tone.
"Disappoint you? Like you didn't! In your heart, am I really not as good as Kayla? How can you believe everything she says? Do you think that I'm a mean woman who poisons people out of a tiny bit of jealousy?"
As soon as she finished her words, the surroundings fell into silence.
Meanwhile, in the room.
Jara was looking at her quietly.
Perhaps because Emmeline put in too much emotion while speaking, her calm eyes were red.
When Jara saw that, his heart instantly ached.
Even so, he still violently kicked the chair next to him.
With that, the chair flew into the air and landed with a loud bang.
Then, he gritted his teeth and jabbed, "Aren't you? For your own personal desire, you almost killed Kayla! This time, I won't let you off easily!"
"What are you going to do then? Kill me to avenge her?" Emmeline sneered.
"You think I won't?"
"Well, come if you dare! If you can't kill me, you're a chicken!"
"Emmeline!"
Meanwhile, outside the room, the servants could hear a series of clattering sounds, and their faces changed dramatically. When they were a bundle of nerves, they saw Uncle Poick rushing over.
Judging from Uncle Poick's grim expression, he obviously had also heard the commotion.
Seeing that the servants were still in a daze, he shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Get in!"
Just then, everyone came to their senses and quickly pushed the door open.
At that moment, the room was in a mess, while Jara was strangling Emmeline, who was still sitting in her wheelchair.
Seeing that, everyone was shocked. Then, they rushed over to save Emmeline.
At the same time, Uncle Poick also rushed over and advised, "Mr. Holland, cool down! Don't be impulsive! Even if Miss Illington is in the wrong, she is still the granddaughter of Mr. Farrington. For the sake of his kindness toward you, please spare her life."
When Jara heard this, his gaze quivered.
Even though he was still gnashing his teeth in anger, he let go of her.
Right after that, Emmeline covered her throat and bent down to cough violently.
As this was the first time the servants had seen Jara so worked up, they were all rooted to the spot. For a while, no one dared to speak.
On the other hand, Jara stood there and condescendingly looked at her while emanating a cold, murderous aura.
With a cold voice, he warned, "Emmeline, I spare your life today not because I am soft-hearted nor reluctant to kill you, but for the sake of Grandpa Farrington. From today onward, if I find out that you have any intention to hurt Kayla, I will kill you mercilessly!"
Upon hearing what he said, Emmeline looked up at him with her red eyes.
Since Jara grabbed her throat too hard, her voice was a little hoarse.
