The Maybach was parked outside WongRiver Pavilion’s living room. Liam got out of the car and opened the door for the two people in the back seat.
Hunter stretched his long legs, and his tall figure emerged from the vehicle. Wendy sat on the left side of the car, and she got out of the vehicle with equal grace.
However, she looked frail, and she had gauze around her arm. She even walked with clumsy steps as if a gust of wind could topple her.
“Miss Wendy, does it still hurt?” Ewan saw her frown and felt pity for her.
“Yes…” Wendy stole a peek on Hunter, but Eldest Young Master Jackson already made his way into the living room. He did not seem worried about her injury.
Wendy was not too happy about that. However, since Eldest Young Master Jackson broke his rule and let her rest in his office for the day, it was still a win.
She had planned to go to City L with Old Master Gale after their dinner with her parents.
However, she wanted Eldest Young Master Jackson to pamper her since she was injured.
“Prepare tea for Eldest Young Master and Miss Gale,” Liam said as soon as he walked into the living room.
One of the servants immediately brought a pot of tea to them.
Hunter loved to enjoy a cup of tea in the living room whenever he got home. However, he had an urge to run upstairs that night.
He managed to control his urge and sat on the sofa as he drank tea. His mind, however, was somewhere else.
Liam wanted to say something, but he decided against it, as Wendy was in the same room.
He did not want Emily to be mistreated, but it was apparent that Eldest Young Master Jackson would prefer to side with Wendy. Emily would have to stand on her own two feet at WongRiver Pavilion.
He only wished that she could have better days from then onward.
“Sir, if there’s nothing else…” Before Liam could finish, he noticed a figure walking down the stairs.
She wore a white nightgown with a low V-neck cut.
Her slender neck was sexy and frail as if it would break if someone were to pinch it. It was the kind of fragility that men would love to embrace and protect.
Her collar bones were visible through the thin sleeping gown. The collar loosened with each step she took until one could see the skin below her neck.
Emily! Why did she wear such a seductive nightgown to go to the living room?
Liam was dumbfounded. Luckily, Eldest Young Master Jackson also stared at the girl, so he did not notice Liam’s line of sight.
“Sir, I, uh… I should go now.”
With Emily’s sensual appearance, Liam thought he would be in trouble if he did not leave right away.
Hunter did not say a single word, so Liam lowered his head and went upstairs.
When he walked past Emily, he still did not dare to raise his head to speak to her. He whispered, “Miss Emily, I’m going upstairs now.”
“Hmm.” Emily nodded.
Liam went upstairs and called the butler on the phone. He ordered all male servants to stay away from the living room, the butler included.
Other than Hunter and the two Gale sisters, only two female servants remained in the living room with them.
Wendy was stunned when she saw her sister, and it was a few seconds later that she reacted to the situation.
She stood up and pointed at Emily. “How… How did she end up here? What’s going on?”
Was she not at the police station? It should have been a while before she was released. How did she get out of jail so quickly?
Even if she was released, why was she at WongRiver Pavilion?
‘What is happening? It’s…’
Her face turned darkened, and she marched toward Emily.
“What are you doing here? Who else do you want to harm? You’re here to harm me, aren’t you?”
Emily simply looked at her; her eyes were calm like water without any ripples. Wendy went up to her and grabbed her arm.
Wendy had limited energy, but she was full of rage, so her grip was fast. Emily could not balance herself, so she almost slid down the stairs. She kept her hold on the beautifully carved wooden railing so that she would not roll off the stairs.
However, Wendy had managed to tear a big piece of her nightgown and revealed her thin shoulder. Her slender, snow-white shoulder was visible to everyone in the living room, and there were even some love bites on it!
Wendy was so jealous that she had almost gone crazy. Did Hunter leave those love bites on her?
She raised her hand furiously as if she wanted to slap Emily.
However, she paused as soon as she lifted her hand. She almost forgot that Hunter was also there with her. She did not want him to see her behaved like that.
“I’m just here to look for something to eat.” Emily looked at her calmly and glanced at Hunter before she quickly looked away.
Everybody could see that she was afraid of Eldest Young Master Jackson—so much that it did not seem like she wanted to appear before him.
Wendy stomped her foot furiously. ‘That little b*tch acts so weakly on purpose! Eldest Young Master Jackson is so smart, did she think that he can’t tell?’
“There’s no need to act. Why are you here?”
Did Emily think she could show up there as she pleased? Eldest Young Master Jackson had kicked her out once, how did she have the guts to go back there?
Emily pushed her away lightly. Wendy could not return the same gesture as she had to appear frail. The push was also so soft that she could not even pretend to fall!
After all, Eldest Young Master Jackson was not an easy person to fool.
She thought Emily would quarrel with her, as she usually would. However, she had stolen a glance at Hunter and then quickly turned around to go back upstairs. It was as if she had had a scare.
Wendy pulled her back and said, “Stop! Explain yourself! What are you doing here?”
Emily bit her lips, and she remained silent. Her cold eyes turned toward the man on the sofa.
“Come over.” Hunter’s voice sounded even colder as his eyes scanned through her nightdress. He had broken out of his shock when he saw her on the stairs.
He had a blank expression on his face when he said, “She’s here as our maid.”
Maid?
Wendy looked at Emily, who had lowered her head and stumbled toward Hunter.
What maid?! Wendy could not believe it!
Would a maid dress up like that and show herself in front of her master? It was obvious she wanted to seduce him! Besides, why was she not at work if she were a maid? How could she go upstairs?
Emily was not there to be a maid!
Emily stood in front of Hunter as she clenched her fists tightly. She had looked nervous.
“Eldest Young Master Jackson, how can I help you?” Hunter’s eyes were locked onto her.
Rosy lips and white teeth, with a beautiful face that looked as if carved from jade, her skin was as soft as a baby!
Her tender skin also looked as if one could get a drop of dew with just a pinch!
The girl had dressed up like that to seduce him!
He wanted to pretend as if he was not interested, but his eyes were locked onto her.
Emily felt the fiery passion in his eyes; thus, she subconsciously tidied her nightdress that had slid sideways.
Her fight or flight response made the man warm with passion!
‘Little b*tch! You want to run?’
Suddenly, he stood up! Before Wendy could react, Hunter had already carried Emily over his shoulder and went upstairs in massive strides. As for Emily, she calmly rested on his shoulder, as obedient as a little sheep.
As Hunter went upstairs, Emily raised her head and looked at Wendy.
She wore a slight sneer on her face as her thin lips opened and closed as she mouthed something to Wendy. She had declared war on her sister—this man is mine!
