Chapter 837 In a Depressing Mood
From the very beginning, all of the warmth and friendship between them were just a clever plan of theirs.
While everyone knew that those emotions were fake, she was the only one who strived to protect their relationship and sacrificed for them.
As she delved into her thoughts, she suddenly fell silent.
Even though Jara roughly knew what she was thinking, he did not disturb her.
He thought that no matter what, she would have to face the truth one day.
Because by facing it, she could make a wiser decision.
Moments later, the car safely arrived at the castle.
After getting out of the car, Jara did not carry her again this time. Instead, he placed her in her wheelchair and let her move on her own.
When the servants saw her return, they were dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Wasn't Emmeline being chased out for poisoning Kayla? Why was she here again?
However, Kayla was not surprised.
Although Jara did not explicitly speak to her about this matter, he had made it clear what he meant.
Otherwise, he wouldn't ask her to put on an act.
Seeing that Emmeline was really back, Kayla knew that her one last bit of hope was gone.
Jara and Emmeline were like a pair of earrings. So, no matter what, she would never have the chance to replace Emmeline.
While standing upstairs, she looked at Jara and Emmeline entering the castle side by side. Then, her eyes darkened. After a while, she turned around and returned to her room.
On the other hand, Uncle Poick was the happiest person to see Emmeline's return.
Just as he had guessed, Jara—who was so wise and mighty—wouldn't be so fatuous. Even an old butler like him knew that the person who poisoned Kayla was someone else. Thus, he knew that something was iffy when Jara said that it was Emmeline who did it.
Moreover, although Emmeline was cold-tempered, she wouldn't poison someone else as she was beautiful and kind-hearted.
Therefore, Uncle Poick was overjoyed that Emmeline could come back again.
At the same time, he also realized that the two of them might be putting on an act and causing a scene for a reason.
Regardless of that, as long as they were on good terms, he would be happy and be at ease.
Hence, before he continued with his work, he led them back to their room and ordered the cook to prepare something delicious.
Since the poisoning incident last time, the kitchen at Tower B was discontinued.
From today onward, Emmeline and Kayla would also have to eat with Jara at the main building.
As the kitchen crew here had served Jara for many years, and they were absolutely trustworthy.
Thus, everyone wouldn't have to worry about any accident.
After knowing about this arrangement, Emmeline had no response.
As for Kayla, she was glad because she could eat and meet with Jara every day.
However, as he told her, the time for her to go to Luca was driving closer. With that, her joy gradually turned into sadness and reluctance.
Actually, everyone thought that she had only taken a fancy to Jara's power and influence.
But who knew that she was really in love with him?
After all, he was perfect enough for others to like him.
Not only was he handsome, but he was also loaded and had a good figure. Most importantly, he had an extraordinary bearing. Which ordinary man could be compared with him?
Even so, it was a pity that not even for once, he had spared her a glace.
At noon, Kayla arrived at the dining hall of the main building, feeling depressed.
Then, she realized that she was the only one here. Jara and Emmeline were both not around.
At that moment, she was puzzled. Just then, she saw Uncle Poick came over, and she asked, "Uncle Poick, where are they?"
Naturally, Uncle Poick knew who she was referring to. With a faint smile, he answered, "Mr. Holland and Miss Illington are discussing the study. So, they asked me to let you have your meal first. They will come down later."
When Kayla heard these words, the disappointment in her eyes intensified.
Even so, she still nodded politely and responded, "Alright, thank you."
After that, the servants began to serve the dishes.
Meanwhile, in the study upstairs.
Jara and Emmeline sat across from each other.
This time, although Skylar appeared and Emmeline was safe, the two of them were dispirited.
She had confirmed that those people from Salvation Club were still alive, and they were the ones who attacked her this time. Other than those, they barely had any progression.
Sure enough, Emmeline also told Jara about Maggie, who was drowned in the river.
As for this matter, Jara had already known about it.
Basically, all the staff that was working in the castle were carefully picked by him.
While choosing people, he would normally eliminate those with a messy background. Therefore, as soon as Maggie got into trouble, he sent someone to investigate her and discovered that something was wrong with her background. After that, he continued to track down the clues and found out that she was actually working with Skylar and the others.
This was how Jara knew about this even earlier than Emmeline.
Hearing this, Emmeline kept quiet.
Later, she uttered, "I don't understand. What do they want from me? Why do they have to send people to catch me again and again?"
After listening to what she said, Jara puckered his brows.
In fact, this problem was bothering him too.
Those people were powerful. Even though they were safe today, they couldn't guard against them for a lifetime. Hence, he had to find out the reason as soon as possible, or else Emmeline would be in danger all the time.
Nevertheless, why were they doing this to her?
No one knew unless they said it in person.
Thinking of this, he looked at Emmeline.
For some reason, when he saw the frown on her delicate face, pity and reluctance welled up in his heart.
With that, he held her hand and assured her, "Don't worry, I'll keep sending people to go deep into this matter. At the same time, I'll always protect you by your side so that they can never harm you."
Upon hearing that, Emmeline looked up and met his eyes. His gaze was so affectionate that her heart race.
Strangely, deep down, she was extremely flustered.
With that, she subconsciously drew her hand back and turned her face away from his eyes. "I know," she murmured.
Yes, she knew.
She always knew that no matter what danger she encountered, he would always protect her and stay by her side.
Looking at his empty palm, Jara wasn't offended.
Instead, he withdrew his hand back and said in a deep voice, "We have caught the hidden traitor in the castle."
Hearing that, Emmeline was puzzled.
"What?"
Confused, she raised her head and looked at him.
Right away, Jara stood up, took a stack of documents from the table, and placed them in front of her.
Emmeline was in a daze. After a while, she lowered her head and looked at the document.
