Chapter 675: Chapter 675: Just Say You Didn’t See Me


    Seeing that the light was still on inside, she knew that her little brother should have just returned home after work and hadn’t gone to sleep yet.


    “Wait for me a moment.” She spoke to the driver in front of her, and then she opened the car door and got out of the car, knocking on the door of the locked house where her little brother was.


    At this moment, Wace was taking a bath, and when he heard someone knocking on the door, he had toe out halfway through.


    “What’s up?” Wrapped in a bath towel and bare-shouldered, Wace came out.


    When he saw his haggard sister, he was taken aback, “Sis? Why are you here?”


    It was already half past ten, why did shee out alone? And…


    She had been crying?


    Emily raised her head and looked at her little brother who was only half-bathed. She spoke calmly, “Wace, I… I didn’t bring any money, could you help me pay the car fare?”


    Hearing this, Wace looked in the direction behind her, and indeed there was a taxi still waiting outside the door.


    “Hold on!” Wace quickly ran inside, fetched the car fare and paid it before they both went inside the house.


    She sat on the sofa and Wace poured her a ss of boiled water.


    It seemed like she had walked a long way, and her face had turned red from the cold.


    “Sis, what happened to you? Why would youe here alone sote?” Wace looked at his red-eyed sister and asked worriedly.


    “I… I had an argument with him, so… I ran out.” Emily naturally didn’t want her little brother to know the reason behind it.


    This little brother, although not rted by blood, had been with her for 18 years. Their rtionship was no different from that of real siblings.


    If he knew what had happened to her, he would most likely risk his life to confront Baron Stuart.


    With nowhere else to go for the moment, the only person she could think of was her little brother.


    Hearing this, Wace furrowed his brow, “You argued with Baron – with your brother-inw? Why?”


    Brother-inw…


    These words sounded especially harsh to Emily’s ears.


    “It’s nothing, just a small matter.” Emily took a sip of the boiled water.


    Just a small matter?


    Wace obviously didn’t believe it.


    He knew his older sister too well – if it were just a minor issue, she wouldn’t have run out in the middle of the night given her personality.


    It was clear that whatever had caused her to run out must have been something she could not or would not bear.


    “Sis, did he… again?”


    “Wace, I’ll stay with you tonight. I’m going to clean up my room first.” Fearing that her brother would continue to ask questions, Emily put down her water ss and got up to go to her old room.


    It had been a long time since shest stayed here, and the room indeed needed some tidying up.


    Seeing her leave, Wace was worried but had no choice but to stop asking for the time being.


    For some matters, asking too many questions would only cause more grief.


    “Bang, bang, bang!”


    Wace stood up and was about to return to the bathroom to finish his bath when a sudden, urgent knocking sound came from the door.


    Wace frowned at the sound; the knocking was really too urgent.


    “Bang, bang, bang!” The knocking continued, and Emily couldn’t help bute out of her room as well.


    Amid the urgent knocking, she seemed to sense that Baron Stuart hade.


    “Wace, you just say you haven’t seen me!” After saying that, Emily turned around, wanting to find a ce to hide.


    But looking around the living room, there seemed to be nowhere for her to hide.


    In her desperation, she could only crawl under a round table, the tableclothpletely covering her.<fn2b80> Newest update provided by Find★Novel</fn2b80>


    On the side, Wace was extremely surprised.
