Chapter 895 Don't Throw Your Tantrum
Josie smiled faintly.
"Of course, you can't find anything wrong with it because it indeed is a bottle of essential oil."
"The bottle of miraculous water will not have any effect when no specific person is doing certain things. What's more, the bottle I gave you to check was really a bottle of essential oil, not the other one."
Emmeline was shocked.
It was only now that she realized she had placed too much trust in Yunne.
As a result, even though she had reservations about Yunne, she had entire faith in her when a cursory examination revealed nothing wrong with the bottle.
She had no idea Yunne was trying to kill her with the level of trust.
Emmeline's eyes grew cold, and Josie didn't care.
She just sat there quietly. In fact, she was a completely different person than she had been at the castle, whether it was by her words, deeds, or frigid demeanor.
Looking at Emmeline, she raised the bread that hadn't been finished.
"Are you still going to eat?"
Emmeline didn't speak.
Josie smiled.
"Don't throw your tantrum on me. I've already stated that I only carry out their orders. Even if you are mad, you must first fill your stomach. I believe you understand this better than I do."
Emmeline gave her a harsh gaze. "Bring it here," she murmured after a while.
Then, Josie took the slice of bread and slowly fed it to her.
Although it was a little humiliating to be fed in this manner, Emmeline did not ask Yunne to release her hands.
She was well aware that even if she made this request, these folks would refuse.
After all, she was confident in her abilities, and she assumed that these folks were as well.
There would be a lot of uncertainty if they actually let go of her. As a result, they would never agree.
Emmeline, too, didn't want to waste her energy. She let Josie feed her a few mouthfuls of water after she finished the bread. She then proceeded to lie against the car.
She glanced at Josie with a soft expression in her eyes that wasn't as aloof as it had been.
Then she asked flatly, "Where do they want to take me?"
Josie wrung the bottle's lid and set it aside. "Do you believe it if I say I have no idea?"
Emmeline snorted coldly.
"I really don't know," Josie added.
After a pause, she advised Emmeline, "But I suggest you not to think about escaping. They've been completely prepared since they caught you. You're not going to be able to get away in any case. You're only going to injure yourself if you struggle."
"Do you think I'm afraid of getting hurt?" hissed Emmeline.
Josie was stunned.
Then, she said as she let out a sigh, "Well, I'm just telling you. It is entirely up to you to decide what to do."
After finishing her sentence, she turned to the side, placing her head against the car wall and closing her eyes.
Realizing she wasn't speaking, Emmeline remained silent too. Anyway, she had learned everything from Josie. It was hard to get anything out of her for the time being.
The truck continued to move slowly. Her eyes were slightly tired, and she rested by closing her eyes and leaning against the wall.
After a long while.
The car abruptly braked, then accelerated.
The emergency brake jolted Emmeline awake, and she opened her eyes.
Josie, across from her, opened her eyes as well. She got to her feet and moved over to a small window next to the driver's seat. "What happened?" she inquired.
"Nothing. It's only a stray cat."
The driver didn't look back and only replied calmly.
Josie looked around warily to make sure there was nothing out of the ordinary. Only then did she sit down, reassured.
The truck kept moving onward.
The passing vehicles on the vast highway soon became scarce, and it was apparent that it was traveling in a more distant direction.
The light shining through the gap in the truck door decreased gradually. Emmeline could tell it was becoming late from there.
"I've always been intrigued why you all are working so hard to catch me," she said to Josie.
Josie was stunned.
She pursed her lips and shook her head. "I don't know either."
As she spoke, she even laughed at herself.
"To be honest, I used to think they wanted to murder you, so I hesitated whether or not to poison you. But afterward, they simply asked me to take you out, and I really have no clue what they intend to do to you."
Emmeline let out a cold laugh.
"Hesitated? Why are you conflicted?"
She pointed out a loophole in Josie's words, prompting her to halt for a moment.
The secrets that she had been striving to keep were suddenly exposed.
Emmeline said lightly, "Yunne, oh no, I mean Josie. In fact, you don't want me to die, right? Although you were acting during the time at the castle, could you have been truly genuine to me?"
"I've always considered you a friend. I don't think you have no feelings at all. Did they take anything important to threaten you? Or do you have any other issues?"
Josie fell silent.
She didn't answer, but Emmeline gleaned the answer she sought from her silence.
"I understand now." Emmeline suddenly let out a light laugh.
Josie suddenly lifted her head.
"What do you understand?"
There was a trace of unease and coldness in her gaze as if someone had unearthed the deepest secret in her heart.
Emmeline added nonchalantly, "You're forced to do so. I don't blame you."
Suddenly, Josie clenched her hand into a fist.
For a moment, she even noticed Emmeline's eyes were filled with irony and hatred for her.
It was neither sympathy nor pity. It was mockery.
She gritted her teeth and stated, "You don't have to say these to make me feel better. I'm sure you hate me now that I've betrayed you and deceived your feelings. But, Emmeline, there is no such thing as right or wrong in this world. We have differing views. I never regret what I've done."
"So, I don't need your forgiveness. I also hope you don't assume how much I regret the current circumstance."
After finishing her words, she seemed a little angry and tilted her head to the other side.
Seeing this, Emmeline raised her eyebrows.
Her eyes, which had been indifferent for a split second, now had a slight smile of delight in them.
Their bickering, however, did not last long.
Because the truck slowly stopped after passing across a bumpy road.
Feeling the truck had come to a halt, Emmeline focused her attention and pricked up her ears to listen to the movement outside.
