Chapter 843 Not A Tool
These words seemed to hit Jara hard.
His eyes suddenly darkened, and a hint of maliciousness appeared in them.
"Emmeline, I thought that if I told you this, you would understand me, but even you think of me that way? Do you think that I will be looked down upon if I do this?"
"Yes, I look down upon you. In the past, you were indeed shrewd, but you could be regarded as an open and straightforward person. No matter how cruel the business world is, you would never take advantage of women to deceit others' feelings," replied Emmeline.
"But now, you broke your principles just because you were going to deal with Luca, and even sent Kayla over. Jara, do you still have a heart? Do you think that those who treat you truthfully are not worthy at all? You are really disappointing me!"
When Emmeline was speaking, Jara's expression gradually turned cold.
Looking at Emmeline, it was as if he was looking at a stranger he had never met.
Slowly, he stood up and moved away from her.
After a while, he said in an extremely hoarse voice, "So, to you, I'm that kind of person?"
While Emmeline looked at the pain in his eyes, in truth, she felt the pain herself too.
She could not understand why Jara had become someone like this.
She was not a saint, and it was not as if she hadn't seen a woman being used as a trade to achieve what they want in business.
In the past, she had no objections to other people's decisions, but now that it was Jara who did it, she couldn't help but feel really uncomfortable.
Perhaps it was because, in her heart, he was always different from others.
Although it seemed that he was a despicable person, deep down, he actually had a pure heart, which was filled with light.
And he would never do such a despicable thing.
For example, using a woman's feelings for him to achieve a personal goal.
That was not something he would do.
Therefore, Emmeline was so disappointed when she learned about it.
At this time, her heart was also a little tired.
Then, she said to Jara, "I don't know what's going on with you, but if you want to use Kayla to bring down Luca, I really won't agree. Jara, is there no other way? Do you have to use her?"
In a deep voice, he replied, "Luca and Kayla had already met."
Instantly, Emmeline understood the meaning.
Since Luca had seen her, it meant that he was aware of her existence.
And given he was so obsessed with his late wife, it was impossible for him to let go of the woman in front of him who looked exactly the same as his late wife.
Therefore, even if he knew that this was a trap that Jara had set for him, he would not hesitate to fall for it.
Jara!
Although Emmeline despised this idea, it was indeed the best plan, wasn't it?
At this time, Emmeline was unsure of her feelings, as she just shook her head and said, "In this case, that's your business. Since you have already decided, there is no point in me saying anything. Jara, you don't have to tell me about such things in the future, and I'm not interested to listen either."
After that, she turned around and was about to leave.
Jara watched as she left, and his gaze darkened a little.
"So you don't agree about us getting back together?"
Hearing that, Emmeline stopped moving.
At that moment, she had her back turned to him, and a swarm of mixed emotions overwhelmed her heart.
In the corridor, her voice was like a wisp of misty wind.
"It's all in the past. You and I are no longer the same people from four years ago. How can we get back together? Mr. Holland, you are a smart man with great plans. I'm just a dumb person. I'm not worthy of being by your side. So please don't have feelings for me anymore."
After that, she hurried away.
When Jara saw that, his expression turned grim immediately.
Moments later, he finally slammed the door shut with a bang and entered the room.
The rest of the people in the castle quickly realized that something was amiss.
Somehow, the vibe between the two of them, who had already made peace with each other, had changed after Isaac came here today.
They went from being intimate and peaceful to the current state of being at loggerheads.
What was going on?
Everyone was a little confused. Especially at dinner time, the two people, who were originally sitting together at noon, were unexpectedly sitting on two different ends this time.
One sat at the head of the table, and the other sat at the end of the table. There were more than ten seats between them, which made things difficult for the servants who were serving the dishes.
In the end, it was only under Jara's instructions that they should put Emmeline's favorite dishes at her side.
Seeing that, Emmeline did not refuse, but the expression on her face was still awful.
After a few quick bites, she put down the fork and went back to her room.
As Jara looked at the few dishes that she barely touched, his gaze darkened slightly.
Kayla, who had been sitting by the side, sensed that something was amiss between the two of them, so she asked quietly, "Jara, did something happen between the two of you?"
Hearing that, Jara didn't even look at her, and he didn't answer.
After dinner, he left as well.
All of a sudden, Kayla was the only one left in the dining room.
After Jara ignored her, she shrugged her shoulders indifferently and continued to eat.
Then, she went back to Tower B after dinner.
The next day, when Emmeline woke up, she heard that Jara had indeed taken Kayla with him.
She knew that he was taking her to Luca.
And it was hard to describe how she felt.
She knew that as long as Jara had made up his decision, no one could change it.
Therefore, she never expected that her words could change his decision.
But why did she still feel disappointed and sad when she learned that Jara was determined to bring Kayla with him?
After all, Emmeline knew that she was by no means a soft-hearted person. Kayla had made trouble for her over and over again, and she definitely did not like her.
Nevertheless, she sympathized with her.
Yes, it was sympathy.
As a woman, she knew that women had suffered too much in this world from the bullying and injustice that they should not bear.
Even if she was someone who was always seeking trouble with her, and even if Kayla's feelings for Jara were impure.
However, was it precisely because of this that she had to be given away as a bargaining chip in exchange for his own interests?
She was too a living person, not a tool that could be thrown around.
Jara never bothered to do such a thing in the past. Why was he doing it now?
Perhaps, there was one more reason.
That was, Emmeline saw a reflection of herself on Kayla.
At that time, she loved Jara so much, trusted him, and loved him deeply. Her feelings for him were pure and sincere.
