Chapter 842 A Conflict
The words 'believe me' were like fists, hitting on Emmeline's heart deeply.
At that moment, she felt a pain in her chest, as if there was a mass of cotton stuffed there, making it hard for her to breathe.
Immediately, she turned her head away as tears started welling up in her eyes.
"How do you want me to believe you?"
Yes, how could she believe him?
Although she had decided to forgo the harm he did to her in the past, it did not mean that she could forget it.
Even if the wound was healed, there was still a deep scar. How was he going to erase it?
Her tears, for some reason, flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Both of them didn't say a word, but it seemed that they didn't need to say anything to understand each other.
Jara looked at the beads of tears on her face and felt as if someone had punched him in the chest. He felt a dull pain in his heart.
Reaching out his hand, he wiped away the tears from her face slowly.
His voice was so hoarse and low that it sounded like a cello.
"I know, there were a lot of things in the past that you can't let go of. That's why you've been eager to track down those people. But Emmeline, you'll have to look forward. You should give me a chance, and you should give yourself a chance too. After tomorrow, we'll make peace, then we'll talk about what's going to happen later, okay?"
Suddenly, she looked up at him.
At this time, she stopped crying, and in her crystal clear eyes was stubbornness.
Out of the blue, she asked, "Why does it have to be after tomorrow? What are you going to do tomorrow? You are not someone who likes to join in the fun, but all of a sudden, you let Isaac get an invitation to Noel's wedding for you and you planned to take Kayla with you. What do you want to do exactly?"
A moment ago, she hadn't come to her senses and mistakenly thought that he took Kayla there because he had accepted Kayla as his woman.
But soon after, she realized that Jara wasn't that kind of person.
Whether he loved Emmeline or not, she couldn't guarantee, but anyone could tell for a fact that he didn't like Kayla.
In fact, when Kayla had conflicts with Emmeline, and when she used those low-level tricks to frame Emmeline, Jara actually stands up for Kayla. For that reason, she would mop up the floor with him.
Logic and experience told Emmeline that Jara was hiding something from her.
As a matter of fact, Jara did hide something from her.
After some thought, suddenly he pushed her wheelchair and walked into the house.
With that, Emmeline was startled and shouted. "Jara, what are you doing?"
At that moment, she had no idea what he was up to. Why did he push her into the house all of a sudden?
However, Jara didn't even give her a chance to speak. He directly pushed her into the room and locked the door from inside.
Meanwhile, Emmeline was speechless upon seeing his reaction.
She was so angry, but she had smile.
After closing the door, Jara turned around, walking to her side, and squatted down.
Then, he looked into her eyes and said, "Emmeline, I can tell you this, but you have to promise me that after listening, you are not allowed to get angry."
In truth, Emmeline was no longer angered prior to what he told her.
But looking at him now, she didn't want to let him go so easily.
So, she pretended to be angry with a gloomy face and said, "We'll see about that after you tell me."
After thinking for a while, Jara began to explain.
"Actually, the reason why I kept Kayla here is because I accidentally discovered something."
"What did you discover?" Hearing that, Emmeline was immediately interested.
Then, Jara continued, "Do you know Luca?"
In response, Emmeline nodded.
Luca was Noel's younger brother. Both of them were core members of the Marsh Family.
"Although the Lost Vanguard has already disbanded, many are still trying to secure this club. The Marsh Family has been fighting with us over business and territory recently. In the future, we may no longer be friends, and we may even be enemies."
"However, most of the businesses there are under the control of Luca. He is the most capable person among the new generation in the Marsh Family. With the rich financial resources of the Marsh Family, no one can stop them in recent years."
"In order to plan ahead, I secretly sent someone to investigate him, and found that he had been married before, but his wife died of labor when she gave birth."
"He is also a loyal man. Since his wife died, he has not been married again. It is obvious that he still misses his wife. And surprisingly, Kayla looks very similar to his wife."
Hearing that, Emmeline was stunned and couldn't believe it.
"What did you say? Kayla looks similar to his wife?"
"Yes, that's right."
Hearing that, Jara nodded with absolute certainty, "Not only did they look similar, apart from the age difference, they basically look exactly the same."
Again, Emmeline was completely shocked.
Then, she shook her head subconsciously.
"How is it possible? They are not from the same country, and they have nothing to do with each other. How could they..."
In a low voice, Jara replied, "I don't know why, but Luca had already met Kayla last time and showed great interest in her. Emmeline, this is a good opportunity, so we can't miss it."
Suddenly, Emmeline's eyes darkened.
She looked at him in doubt.
"What are you planning to do?"
"I've already talked to Kayla that we'll send her to him. She also promised that she'll be our best spy in the future."
Upon hearing that, Emmeline suddenly laughed and felt ironic.
At this time, Jara was still holding her hand, but she shook it off angrily. "Jara, how can you do this? I thought you were different from those men, but why are you becoming like them, putting the elements of success and hope on a woman?!"
"Have you ever thought that you used Kayla to win the trust of Luca and make her your informer, not only did you deceived Luca, but you are playing with both of their feelings."
"I know that Kayla even likes you very much. In fact, she loves you and is willing to go through anything for you. She's willing to do things that she's unwilling or didn't want to do. But Jara, have you thought about it? Why did she do this? What does she want? Can you give her what she wants?"
When Emmeline was speaking, Jara remained silent the entire time, without saying a word.
Then, Emmeline continued. "This way, even if you win, it's unfair. Didn't you use to disdain this sort of behavior? Why do you have to do this now?"
Raising his head, he looked at her, and his gentle gaze gradually turned cold.
In a deep voice, he uttered. "So, you don't agree with me with this?"
Without a second thought, Emmeline answered. "Not only did I disagree, but I also despised your behavior."
"What's the difference between you and those beasts?"
