Chapter 349
“Zack told me you look like a gentleman, easy to get along with, but in reality, you’re ruthless and will stop at nothing to get what you want. He said if I ever ran into you, I should always brace for the worst,” Emily said.
Her words were blunt, but there was no sugarcoating or exaggeration. Jeremy wanted the truth, and that’s exactly what she gave him.
She relayed every single word Zack had ever said about Jeremy, not leaving out a thing. Zack had nothing good to say about Jeremy, who personally sent him to St. Gabriel Reform Academy.
As Jeremy listened to the words that were practically an insult to his face, he showed no sign of anger. He knew Emily wasn’t lying. This was exactly the kind of thing Zack would say about him.
But aside from that, Emily didn’t say a single other thing that was useful. When she stayed silent after finishing, Jeremy frowned, “Is that all?”
Emily met his gaze, her expression calm. “That’s it.”
Jeremy’s expression turned cold, obviously not buying it. He didn’t mind Emily throwing insults at him, but this clearly wasn’t the answer he was after. Emily knew exactly what he wanted to hear.
Zack was the real heir of the Windrose family. In a family like that, even if he didn’t want to, there were things he had no choice but to scheme for.
And it was exactly because he knew so much that Jeremy set him up and had him sent to St. Gabriel Reform Academy. The inswer Jeremy wanted was all about the leverage Zack had over him.
Emily knew she had no real grudge against Jeremy. He was only after her because of this. But Zack had never shared any of hat with her.
He’d gathered that leverage just to protect himself, never expecting it would end up being the reason Jeremy came after him. Naturally, he’d never let it drag Emily into trouble.
