Chapter 831 Leaving the Castle
Although the corners of her mouth curled up into a sneer, tears kept rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably.
"Stop pretending to be kind and upright, Jara. There isn't once you choose to believe in me. Clearly, I am not the culprit, and yet you still insist that I tried to murder her."
"As long as I stay here, I will be a stumbling block for your relationship with Kayla, right? Fine! I will leave, but Jara, don't forget that you owe me this for the rest of your life! From now on, no matter how down and out I am, I will never come back to you again, and we shall not cross paths for the rest of my life!"
As soon as she finished her words, she saw the shock in Jara's eyes.
Then, he burst out laughing.
"For the rest of your life? Okay! Remember what you said, Emmeline. Since that's what you wish for, get out of my sight and never come back!"
After that, he hurled the nearest flower stand and strode away without looking back.
Even though he had left, the atmosphere still contained the rage that he had left behind.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what to do.
While having complicated feelings, they greatly sympathized with Emmeline.
As for Uncle Poick, he also felt regretful. Originally, he thought Jara and Emmeline would have a chance to reconcile after going through all sorts of twists and turns.
Besides, it didn't occur to him that things would suddenly turn out this way because they seemed fine before this.
Even so, at this moment, he was not in the mood to put much thought into it.
According to Jara's nasty temper, he might do something outrageous after saying those things. Thus, Uncle Poick thought he had to leave the room immediately and keep a close eye on Jara.
With that, he quickly comforted Emmeline, "Miss Illington, please don't take his words to heart. I'll go out and check on him now."
Hearing that, Emmeline mockingly raised the corner of her lips.
"Uncle Poick, thank you for taking care of me during this period of time. As you can see, no matter how much pride I let go of, he won't trust me. To him, I've changed. Similarly, to me, he's no longer that guy from back then. So, from now on, I'll let go of the past and start anew. When I'm done packing, I'll naturally leave."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Poick frowned.
To him, Emmeline and Jara were clearly not the kind of person who would act willfully on impulse.
Strangely, they were exceptionally rash today.
Even so, now that things had turned out this way, as a mere butler, he couldn't afford to worry about it anymore.
So, he could only lower her head regretfully. "Take care, Miss Illington. If you need any help, feel free to tell me, even if you're out of the castle."
Actually, he said these words out of personal attachment.
After all, he was Jara's servant and the butler of the castle.
If he helped Emmeline in the future, people would inevitably feel that he was betraying Jara.
Despite this, Uncle Poick still said such words to Emmeline, which proved his sincerity.
Upon hearing his words, Emmeline curled her lips into a faint smile.
"Thank you, Uncle Poick."
She didn't refuse, and she couldn't bear to refuse.
Only then, Uncle Poick turned around and left without saying anything.
As soon as he left, the other servants followed him.
With that, only Yunne and Emmeline were left in the room.
At this time, Yunne was like a cat on hot bricks. When she stood outside just now, she could hear the conversation in the room clearly.
While listening to their argument, she was confused. Moments ago, they were fine. How could they fall out in the blink of an eye?
With a sad face, she approached Emmeline. "Miss Illington, are you okay?"
Emmeline did not answer her. Instead, she was sitting there with a cold face, as if she was still pissed off.
Feeling anxious, Yunne was about to cry.
Then, she squatted down, looked up at Emmeline, and asked, "What happened? Didn't you say you will have a nice discussion with him? Why did both of you end up arguing? Are you really going to move out?"
Upon hearing that, Emmeline looked down at her.
"Sorry for scaring you," she said to Yunne softly.
To that, Yunne shook her head repeatedly.
"I'm fine, but..."
Emmeline forced a smile.
After that, she requested, "Please help me pack up. I'll leave in the afternoon."
Instantaneously, Yunne's eyes widened in shock.
From the argument just now, she heard that Emmeline wanted to leave. However, she thought that Emmeline was saying that out of anger.
And Jara wouldn't really drive her out.
Nevertheless, after hearing what Emmeline said, it seemed like she was really going to leave in a fit of pique.
Hurriedly, Yunne persuaded, "Please don't be angry, Miss Illington. You shouldn't take Mr. Holland's words seriously. He was just saying them in a fit of rage! Besides, you're not fully recovered. How can you leave alone?"
Basically, during Emmeline's time in the castle, she did not care about anyone around her.
Even so, she was fond of Yunne, who had been taking care of her and serving her.
Right now, when she saw Yunne crying anxiously, she felt moved.
However, she was not prepared to tell Yunne about her massive plan.
It was not because she didn't trust Yunne, but because she didn't want to get Yunne into trouble.
Thinking of this, Emmeline sighed.
"Well, I know that he meant it. Thank you for taking care of me during this period of time. We shall meet again when there is a chance in the future."
Stunned, Yunne looked up at her in disbelief.
"Miss Illington, are you really leaving?"
Emmeline nodded.
At once, Yunne got panicked. "How about your plan to celebrate the Festival of Lights with Mr. Holland? Aren't you going there anymore?"
As soon as Emmeline heard that, she froze.
Seeing Emmeline's reaction, Yunne realized that she had lost her composure. So, she hurriedly explained, "Actually, I think this is a good opportunity for you two to reconcile. Not only that, but you can also catch those people who want to harm you..."
Upon hearing what she said, Emmeline smiled.
In her clear eyes, there was a faint light flowing.
Then, she chuckled, "We will never get back with each other again. As for tonight... I do have the intention to lure those people out, but unfortunately, I lost the chance. Anyway, I don't want to owe him a favor. So, I will think of other ways to investigate. As for myself, I will eventually find a place to survive in this huge world, and it won't be easy for them to catch me."
After saying that, her face was glimmering with confidence. It was in contrast to the depressing look she had minutes ago.
