The so-called “no woman” rule had exceptions.
Emily looked away from Wendy’s hands, which were holding Hunter’s arm.
She walked beside Patriarch Gale with an indescribably calm look.
It was Wendy who lost it first!
“Why is she here?”
Patriarch Gale led Emily to them and said, “Mr. Hunter, please forgive me for not treating you properly
just now.”
“It’s because I didn’t greet you earnestly. Please forgive me, Mr. Gale.”
Hunter responded properly. He had always been so elegant and generous.
Joseph smiled and said, “We are of the same family. Don’t stand on ceremony.”
The same family?
Patriarch Gale’s gaze fell on the two youngsters in front of him. They were handsome and beautiful.
They were indeed a good match.
When he left, Hunter denied anything out of the ordinary with Wendy.
But now, as they walked together, they were like a couple.
What did this mean?
“Grandfather, she ...” Wendy stared at Emily and was still unhappy about her showing up.
Wendy was upset, the more she thought about it.
Did Emily come with Hunter? Were they still together?
“Saturday is the banquet day for you to sire bond. Why hasn’t anyone notified me?”
Emily forced a smile, “If I hadn’t known it and come over myself, I would have missed it.”
“Aren’t you going to take the exam and have to prepare for it? I just don’t want to stand in your way.”
Wendy forced herself to calm down. Even if Hunter had brought Emily here, the person beside Hunter
now was herself, how can Emily still be a threat?
Emily couldn't.
She said indifferently, “I know about your poor grades all along. I don’t want to bother you. Otherwise I
would be held responsible for your lousy grades, which would ultimately embarrass our family. I had to
keep it from you.”
“Really? Wendy, why do I remember that I always got high marks in high school, but you …”
Emily tilted her head. She looked at Wendy with her innocent bright eyes.
“When you were in high school, you always went out with those boys and failed every course.”
“Emily!” Wendy really wanted to kill her! “When had I ever gone out with boys?”
She immediately looked up at the man standing beside her, tears welling up from the corners of her
eyes. She seemed pitiful.
“Hunter, she slanders me. When I was in school, all I did was study. How could I have the time to go
out and play?”
“My parents are very strict with me. They don’t allow me to go out with boys. But Emily …”
Wendy pointed at Emily and could not suppress her anger.
“She liked to wear fussy clothes. Not only did she wear heavy makeup every day, she also drank and
smoked cigarettes. Everyone knew that.”
Emily just smiled and didn’t look at her anymore.
They were all bygones. She would quarrel and fight back in the old days. But now, she had no such
interest.
She would argue if she felt like it. She would directly ignore her if she didn’t.
Wendy's passionate strike received no counterattack.
It looked like Wendy won.
However, on second thought, it was as if Emily was completely disdainful of quarreling with her.
She was just like a lunatic on her own!
At such a time, it was even more impossible for her to continue to curse Emily, which would make her
not so charming!
Wendy was so angry that her fingertips were trembling. She was fuming with anger but had no outlet.
But how could she be the only one who went crazy?
If she went crazy, then Emily must go crazy with her!
Wendy was so angry. But she smiled suddenly.
“By the way, before I came to City L, your friend who had an accident was still in the hospital. What is
her name?”
She seemed to have some difficulty in remembering. After thinking for a while, she said, “Her name is
Sally, isn’t she?”
Emily tightened her fists and emitted a chilly aura.
Wendy smiled even more charmingly, “Is she alright now? Did she wake up? She can’t really become a
vegetative and never wake up, can she?”
“Wendy.” Patriarch Gale felt that it was inappropriate for Wendy to say that and immediately stopped
her.
“Since Hunter will be staying here for the next two days, why not show him around?”
“Alright!” Wendy was definitely willing to do that.
However, before she left, she still wanted to see Emily’s expression.
She smiled and said, “I heard that you were looking for Aunt Kate. She is in the hall. You can go and
see her!”
Seeing Kate here, Emily would be mad.
She wanted everyone to see Emily behave like a lunatic!
Unexpectedly, Emily smiled and said, “Kate is not my mother. Why would I look for her?”
Wendy’s smile froze.
She … seemed to have done something stupid.
Emily stared into Wendy’s eyes. There were some things that she wasn’t sure about before. But now,
she seemed sure.
“Emily ...” Patriarch Gale was puzzled. Emily sounded too rebellious.
He didn’t understand what she meant.
“Grandfather, Emily and I have something to say.”
Wendy let go of Hunter and grabbed Emily’s hand.
She absolutely couldn’t let Emily talk nonsense in front of Patriarch Gale!
“Let’s go, Emily. I want to talk to you.”
“No.” Emily broke away from her hand and sneered, “What if you set me up again?”
“You!” The hatred in Wendy’s eyes was so intense that her face almost twisted.
However, in front of so many people, she still tried her best to suppress her anger.
With a forced smile, Wendy said softly, “I’m your sister. How can I harm you? Did you pick up this kind
of paranoia from fictions?”
She grabbed Emily’s hand again, and Emily kept trying to shake it off.
However, Hunter, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted them with a cold voice.
“Why are you still so rebellious, not even listening to your sister?”
Emily suddenly looked up to meet his gaze.
What did he mean? Why would he help Wendy?
Hunter was indifferent and his voice was extremely cold, “You are young and ignorant, should listen to
your sister.”
A dangerous light flashed in his cold and heartless eyes.
He was threatening her!
A chill flashed through Emily’s heart.
Hunter was on Wendy's side. So, they were close …
“Let’s go. I’m catching up with you. What are you panicking about?”
Wendy was over the moon that Hunter helped her.
Men were fickle.
It had just been more than a month, Hunter had grown tired of Emily.
Wendy smiled at Patriarch Gale, “Grandpa, I’ll look around with Emily. We will come back to you later.”
Although Wendy smiled brightly, Patriarch Gale looked at Emily and felt somewhat uneasy.
Emily said indifferently, “I’ll look around with Wendy first. I will come back later to chat with you,
grandfather.”
However, Wendy tugged at her forcefully and pulled her away.
