Chapter 844 Belittle Others to Elevate Oneself
If one day, he needed Emmeline to achieve his goal, would he also make use of her like he did with Kayla?
In certain aspects, once the principle was broken, there would be a second time, followed by countless times.
She didn't dare to think about it, nor did she want to think about it.
At that moment, Emmeline's mood was very complicated, so she didn't eat much at noon.
In fact, she did think of stopping Jara.
However, Kayla was willing to go there. If she went there like this, others might not even appreciate it. As for the banquet held by the Marsh Family, she could not enter without an invitation anyway.
Therefore, in the end, Emmeline gave up the idea.
After lunch, she called for Isaac and chatted with him.
When Isaac arrived, she was sitting in the corridor in the yard drinking tea.
The moment she saw him, she waved at him and said, "Come and taste the tea I brewed."
Seeing that, Isaac walked over with a smile and didn't stand on ceremony. After sitting down, he picked up the cup she had poured for him and tasted it.
"Not bad. Your brewing skill is still good as ever."
Hearing that, Emmeline smiled slightly.
She really couldn't figure out why Jara became like this, so Emmeline came to Isaac and wanted to ask him about it.
In the past four years, she had been in prison, so she knew very little about Jara's changes and experiences.
But Isaac was different.
The Burke family were legitimate businessmen, and they were not the same as the Holland family.
However, Isaac and Jara had grown up together. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were like sworn brothers.
She did not believe that Isaac didn't know about the decision Jara made this time.
As she thought about it, her eyes darkened slightly.
On the other hand, Isaac also knew that Jara wasn't at home today. If it weren't for anything, she wouldn't have specially asked to see him.
Therefore, after drinking tea, he didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Go ahead, what do you want to know?"
Looking at him, Emmeline said seriously, "You knew the reason I called you over was that I wanted to ask you something?"
Hearing that, Isaac smiled carefreely.
"You and Jara are the same. You're the kind of person who would never reach out to someone except to ask for a favor. You wouldn't come to me if you don't have anything to ask me, especially at this time."
After a pause, he then asked, "Is it about Jara?"
In response, Emmeline didn't hide anything and nodded directly.
In an instant, Isaac's expression became serious.
After some thought, he sighed.
"If you do that, you will put me in an awkward position. Both of you are my friends. What if you really ask me something that I can't tell you? Should I tell you or not? One way or another, I will be offending one of you."
Unexpectedly, when Emmeline heard this, not only did she not retreat, but returned with a smile.
"So, does that mean he is really hiding something from me?"
Hearing that, Isaac was stunned.
After a moment, he came to his senses and burst out laughing.
Pointing at Emmeline, he shook his head and said with a smile, "You're still so smart. I didn't say anything, but you can find the answer you want between the lines."
After a pause, he put on a serious look and said, "Is there something wrong between you and Jara?"
When she received the question, Emmeline thought for a moment.
She felt that if she wanted to get some information out of Isaac, she couldn't hide anything from him.
So instead of beating around the bush, she told him about Kayla's matter directly.
After listening, Isaac did not look surprised.
Seeing that, Emmeline knew it. It seemed that he had known about it for a long time.
The two of them could not help but fall silent.
Emmeline was silent because she was waiting for Isaac to answer.
And Isaac was silent because he was considering whether he should tell her the truth, or in another way, how to tell the truth.
After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind.
At the end of the day, he couldn't hide the truth from Emmeline.
Therefore, he had to say it sooner or later anyway.
Therefore, he no longer hesitated. With a sigh, he began. "Okay, since you want to know, I will tell you. But after I told you, you have to think twice before you react. You can't ruin the relationship between you and Jara simply because of your waywardness."
Hearing that, Emmeline did not respond to his request. She did she agree with it, nor did she disagree with it.
She simply replied, "We'll see about that after you tell me the truth."
When Isaac received her response, he knew that she always made her own decisions, and it was not for him to comment on it.
On that note, he had no choice but to tell her.
In truth, the matter was very simple.
Four years ago, there was a big fight between the Salvation Club and the Lost Vanguard. Since then, the Salvation Club had disappeared completely. On the surface, it seemed that the Lost Vanguard had gained a complete victory.
But in fact, the Lost Vanguard had suffered an unprecedented hit. It was no exaggeration to call it a tragic victory.
Originally, he thought that after the end of the battle, everyone would be able to calm down and recuperate.
However, he didn't expect that the Lost Vanguard would soon be attacked by a group of unknown entities.
This group of people was very powerful and had fierce momentum. The Lost Vanguard before the hit would not be afraid of them. But after the battle, the Lost Vanguard had been seriously injured and could not stand a chance.
However, the opponents had obviously predicted that they would have already exhausted their manpower and that there would be no room for maneuver. That was why the opponents took the opportunity to launch such a large-scale attack.
In the end, the Lost Vanguard was completely torn apart.
Under Jara's guidance, he was able to stabilize the rest of the forces. However, because of the great battle, the Lost Vanguard had yet to fully recover its strength until today.
But who was Jara?
He was a person who was never willing to suffer a loss.
Secretly, he had already discovered that there was a mastermind behind the tragic incident.
Therefore, he had been sending people to investigate secretly. In the end, he found out that the Marsh Family was involved.
However, no one knew about it yet. He was not sure about it either. It was just that the Marsh Family's invasion of the Holland Family's territory had been serious lately.
If he didn't strike back, there would be no way to retreat.
Even if he didn't think for himself, he had to think for the thousands of subordinates who followed him.
Therefore, he was determined to take down the Marsh Family.
Speaking of this, Isaac sighed again.
Looking at Emmeline, he said in a low voice, "In the past four years, I know that you have been leading a hard life, but it was hard for Jara too. Not only he had to strictly guard against any assassination, but he also had to do his best to manage the business.
The Marsh Family was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. In fact, it could even be said that they were more low-key and powerful than the famous Sapphire family. Although the Lost Vanguard still had forces, along with the support of the Holland family from Ascijan, these forces were all shallow foundations. Compared with the Marsh Family which had thousand years of history, they were not worth mentioning.
Emmeline, have you ever seen trees over a hundred-year-old? On the surface, you would see that it was just an ordinary tree, at most slightly thicker than the other trees. But after a huge gust of wind, you would find that all the other trees had collapsed, and it will still stand.
