Emily took off immediately. She found a set of clothes from the room on the second floor, got changed, and then left the hall. She did not even turn around when she walked out of WongRiver Pavilion. The man watched as he stood on the second-floor balcony. His eyes were fixed onto the girl as she faded into the distance.
“Eldest Young Master Jackson,” Wendy quietly called out as she stood to watch from the corner.
When she heard that the eldest young master had chased the young madam away, she had gone up to look for him. She spotted him at the balcony, and she wanted to comfort him. However, she could not find the right time to do so. He looked cold and unapproachable; it was hard to find the courage and confidence to go near him. Wendy took a couple of deep breaths before she cautiously shuffled toward him.
“Eldest Young Master Jackson… I heard that you… had an argument with Emily.”
The man at the balcony did not give her any response. Wendy stood there with her head hung low, and she seemed timid and miserable.
“I’m sorry, Eldest Young Master Jackson. Was Emily angry at me? I didn’t know… that she would be so angry.”
That narrow-minded woman had dared to argue with Eldest Young Master Jackson. How silly of her! She should be coaxing such an outstanding man instead. Why would she argue with him? Was she looking for trouble?
“Eldest Young Master Jackson, I’m very sorry about this. Emily had never liked me since we were young. You have been really good to me, so she must have been very upset about that.”
She humbled herself and walked right up to his back. He was really tall; she had to look up just to take a good look at him. However, she was obsessed with that view; she just loved it! She adored looking at him with admiration, and to obsess over him.
She wanted him to turn around to face her. She craved for him to hug her and press on top of her with his crazy strength.
Wendy’ breathing immediately labored. Her heart pounded and her face flushed as she imagined herself and Eldest Young Master Jackson in hot, steamy intimate scenes. It was as if she had submitted herself entirely to him. However, the man remained silent. Wendy yearned to reach out and touch him, but she did not dare to do that.
She took a deep breath, and her voice became softer and more gentle. “Eldest Young Master Jackson, if… if you want, I… I can talk to her.”
She kept her gaze on him as if her heart were to shatter into a million pieces.
“I’ll do anything that you want. Just say the word, and I’ll do it. Okay?”
What guy could resist such a docile girl? Would he not think that she was the cutest girl on earth when compared to that silly girl, Emily? Wendy stood there patiently as she waited for Hunter to take pity on her. However, he completely ignored her as he stood by the railings. Did he not catch what she said? How could he not hear her when they were so close to each other?
“Eldest Young Master Jackson?”
Wendy hobbled two steps forward; they were only about five steps from each other.
“Eldest Young Master Jackson, I really… I would listen to you. I’m willing to do anything that you say. Eldest…”
She shifted forward with some hesitance. Finally, the unresponsive man said crudely, “Just go.”
Wendy was dumbstruck. What? Go? Did she hear it correctly?
She had been so gentle and docile, yet he ordered her to leave?
“Eldest Young Master Jackson…”
“From now onward, you’re not allowed to come up to the second floor.” No one would dare to go against his command.
Wendy’s eyes widened in shock as she watched him leave the balcony and made his way toward the hall on the second floor. She wanted to follow him, but she was not brave enough to do that. They were only five steps away from each other, were they not? She had heard that Eldest Young Master Jackson would always keep that distance from other women, but it was clear that Emily was not subjected to the same rule!
Wendy felt hurt. “Eldest Young Master Jackson, did I do something wrong?”
Hunter took his mobile phone and dialed Liam’s number. When the line connected, he barked, “Take Miss Gale downstairs.”
“I can get down on my own!” Tears immediately flooded Wendy’s eyes.
“But why? What did I do wrong? Eldest Young Master Jackson, please tell me the reason.”
“Because.” He finally turned around to stare at her face with his expressionless eyes. “My woman doesn’t like you.”
“But you promised Grandmother to take care of me for the rest of my life.”
“I only promised to keep you safe.”
If it was not for his grandmother, did she really think that she could get near to him?
“Don’t try to destroy my relationship with Emily. I can keep you alive, but I can also show you that sometimes living is no better than death!”
“Eldest Young Master Jackson!” Wendy shrieked.
“I was not the one who ruined your relationship. It was Emily who tried to find fault with me. She has never liked me, so I…”
“Then make yourself scarce, so you don’t anger her.”
Hunter entered the hall and strode toward his room just as Liam arrived on the second floor. He lunged forward to stop Wendy when she tried to chase after the eldest young master.
“Miss Gale, you should not be up here. Please head downstairs.”
“Eldest Young Master Jackson, you can’t treat me so unfairly.”
Wendy wailed, “You promised Grandmother to take care of me. I did nothing wrong; it was Emily who bullied me.”
“Ewan had seen it too. She shoved me onto the floor, and she even wanted to kick me…”
Hunter opened the door to his room, went in, and slammed it shut with a loud bang. He refused to listen to a word she had said.
“Why were you bullied all day long? You’ve been shoved onto the ground a few times now, haven’t you?”
Liam thought that it was funny. “Perhaps there’s a ‘Shove Me!’ sign on your face.”
“What did you say?” Once Hunter was gone, she no longer had to feign a grievous look on her face.
She glowered at Liam and growled in a low voice, “You had better explain yourself.”
“Oh, was I not clear? Perhaps Miss Gale doesn’t understand the human language.”
“You…”
“Miss Gale, the eldest young master is always apprised of many things, but it’s just that he chose to ignore them.”
“You…”
“Eldest Young Master Jackson did not punish the sixth young miss for your sake. He did it for her own good.”
Liam stifled the smile that nearly blossomed on his lips. His face turned scarily cold as he locked his eyes onto her gaze.
“Sixth Young Miss Jackson is Eldest Young Master Jackson’s sister. Heed my advice, never think that you are as important to him.”
“You…” Wendy’s face flushed red in a fury. “Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like this!”
“I don’t care who you are. Eldest Young Master Jackson had ordered you to leave the second floor. If you are not willing to go down on your own, I am glad to chuck you down with my own hands.”
“You!”
Wendy was terrified when he started to move toward her. The man had looked as if he was an approachable and easy-going person when he stood next to Eldest Young Master Jackson. However, he had looked terrifying when his expression darkened! Wendy knew that the characters that surrounded Eldest Young Master Jackson were not people that she could trifle with. She had no idea where that bloody Ewan went, and she dared not oppose Liam without any backup.
“I’ll remember what you did to me today!”
She stomped her feet and marched toward the staircase. She was the old madam’s granddaughter, so she no longer needed to endure unfair situations so silently. She would never forgive those who bullied her so easily, not even Eldest Young Master Jackson’s most valuable and reliable assistant!
