“Manson, what do you want to do?” Emily clenched her fists.
Manson knew what had happened to her and Sally. Did he… Did he send someone to spy on them?
“Nothing. I just want to see you suffer and to make your life hell.”
Manson sneered at her. Even though Emily tried her best to put up a brave front, he could see that she was extremely uneasy. It turned out that she cared for Sally way more than what he thought she would be.
“You’re crazy!” Emily blurted. “I’m a nobody. You are Second Young Master Jackson, so why are you finding fault with me?” She did not know what she had done to deserve his animosity.
“If I have wronged you, then I shall apologize. Is that not good enough for you?”
If he continued to pester her, what could he possibly achieve aside from a way to vent his anger? It served no benefit to him at all. Why would someone who cared for fame and fortune as much as the Jackson family’s second young master do something so trivial? She could not understand him at all.
Manson also did not know why he picked fights with her. Perhaps it was because of Hunter’s punch. However, that matter was with Hunter and not her. He was drawn to her every time he saw her. However, his stomach churned whenever he got near to her. Maybe he was disgusted with her appearance!
“Ah, but you put on such air? Why are you apologizing now? You may continue to be your stuck up self!”
“Second Young Master Jackson…”
“If you really want to apologize, there is a way that I can forgive you, indeed.” Manson’s lips curled up with a glimpse of a jeering smile.
Emily held her fists tightly. She did not know why he had to go against her since there should not have been so much hatred between them. If it were only her, she was not afraid at all. However, she could not implicate Sally. She reluctantly admitted defeat while she suppressed that uncomfortable feeling in her stomach.
“We are a family. I do not want to upset Grandmother. You may tell me frankly what you need to accept my apology.”
He was such an annoying, arrogant, and crazy guy. She should stay away from him in the future to avoid any possible trouble. Why should she get in trouble with him?
“Ah, do you really want to apologize to me?” Suddenly, Manson advanced toward her.
Emily subconsciously took two steps backward. “Look, I do not want the matter to get any worse or to upset Grandmother. You should know that if Grandmother is unhappy, then the old master would be mad as well.”
“Are you trying to threaten me with Grandfather?” Manson snorted, his face became even darker. “You may make your apologies with your body. Sleep with me for one night, and I shall call it a truce.”
“You…”
“Oh, are you interested in my fiancee’s body? Shall I ask you to come along when I share an intimate session with her tonight?” A cold and chilly voice emerged from behind them. Manson’s breathing labored, and his knees almost gave away!
Before Emily knew what had happened, Hunter had dragged her away. She lost her balance and fell into his embrace. Master Jackson’s chest was like steel, and she accidentally bumped her nose right into his chest. She almost bent her poor nose, and it was so painful!
However, she had no chance even to rub her nose! His large palm pressed on the back of her head to keep her against his chest. He did not allow her to escape from him.
Hunter stared straight into Manson’s pale face, and his eyes narrowed. “Second Young Master, would you like to join us tonight?”
Manson beat a hasty retreat under his cold stare. Manson wanted to shout about how he wanted all the men in the world to sleep with Emily, but he dared not!
Hunter’s presence could always dampen Manson’s courage. Finally, Manson stifled his petulance and broke into a light smile.
“It was only a joke. When have you become so uptight, Big Brother? Can’t I make a joke?”
“You can joke about anything in the world..” Hunter’s eyes darkened. “But, not a word about my woman!”
Manson was anxious, and he almost suffocated under Hunter’s icy stare. He could not even breathe normally. He managed to catch his breath with great difficulties, but his chest still heaved vigorously.
“Very well, I shall not joke about this with my sister-in-law again.” His voice sounded weak and hoarse. “I still have some things to attend to, so I shall not disturb your time together. I shall see you around.”
He turned and walked away hurriedly. He only stopped when he was far away from Hunter’s intimidating aura. Emily was right; God had been unfair to him! He detested Hunter so much, but why did he have to cower in his presence? Why was that?
Emily almost suffocated in Hunter’s embrace. The bastard pressed her head so firmly against his chest that he almost covered all of her airways. She could not even catch her breath.
“Hmm…” She struggled frantically in his embrace. If that continued, she would really be suffocated!
Finally, Hunter let go of her and gazed coldly into her eyes. “Did I not warn you not to provoke him?”
Who did she think Manson was? How could she be so brave to challenge him? Hunter could not stay beside her all the time. If he was not around, then Manson could easily destroy her with only one finger!
“I did not provoke him. He was the one who came to find fault with me!” Emily did not give in. She huffed and puffed after she broke free from his grip.
Was there a time when Manson had not attacked her? She was utterly perplexed as she did not know how she offended him. If he was still pissed about the incident at the Gu’s villa, then he should have sought his revenge on Hunter. What did she have to do with it?
Manson was a coward. He did not dare to strike Hunter, so he went for an easier target. However, she would not make things easy for him!
“So, you have to entertain him just because he provoked you first?”
Hunter was enraged to hear Manson’s suggestion for Emily to use her body as a way of apology. He felt as if he could kill someone!
“What’s going on? Master Jackson, are you unhappy with me talking to the second young master or are you enraged because he bullied me? Aren’t you only good at plotting against me? Do you even care about me?”
If he had not been with that bunch of girls, would she have been left alone to get into trouble with Manson? Could she have been bullied if Hunter was by her side? He was the one who left her to fend for herself!
Manson was right. She had been dumped on the second day of their engagement. There were plenty of ladies around Master Jackson, and they formed such a tight circle that she could not even penetrate. What could she have done about it?
“When did I plot against you?” That bloody girl! It seemed like she still thought about the incident. Was he really such a bad person in her mind?
“You know very well whether you did it or not.”
“You…” Hunter’s eyes sank. He was too lazy to explain himself. Furthermore, when had he needed to explain himself? “Unbelievable!”
Eldest Young Master MU turned to leave. The girls had him surrounded once again. Even though she knew that he did not intend for that to happen, she was still disgusted by their behavior.
Emily moved her gaze away. She told herself to keep calm and ignore it. She should not even look at it! F*ck it! She was the fiancée, and she still sat nearby. Could the girls not go further away if they wanted to hit on her fiancé?
She was enraged, so she turned her gaze away. Her hand reached for her drink, but her phone rang before she could pick it up.
Joe’s panicked voice came through the phone. “Emily, Sally is missing!”
