Chapter 350
Emily was extremely perceptive to people’s gazes; she sensed his murderous intent almost instantly. But she didn’t show a hint of fear. She met his eyes calmly. “So, are you threatening me now, Jeremy?”
Jeremy let out a cold laugh. “You started threatening me first.”
“I never meant to threaten you, and I never wanted to be your enemy,” Emily said, tilting her head slightly. “If I really wanted to threaten you, I would have taken Yvonne from the hospital and brought both her and Walter straight to your parents.”
Jeremy’s face changed, and he suddenly reached out to grab her by the neck. “Are you telling me you have Walter?”
Ever since Walter had mysteriously vanished from the hospital, Jeremy had been secretly searching for him. Never in his wildest dreams did he think Walter would end up in Emily’s hands.
Feeling Jeremy’s grip tightening around her neck, Emily knew he genuinely wanted to kill her right then and there, but she stayed completely calm.
They were out in the open, with people coming and going all around. No matter how furious Jeremy got, he wouldn’t dare actually do anything to her in a place like this.
So, she didn’t fight back. Instead, she said, “Zack warned me about what kind of person you are. The moment you found out I’d been at St. Gabriel Reform Academy and started getting close to me, I knew you wouldn’t let me off.
“That’s why I secretly took Walter away to protect myself. If Zack had really told me where all that stuff was, I wouldn’t have needed to go that far.”
Jeremy narrowed his eyes, still suspicious, but finally let go of her neck. In public, he really couldn’t do anything to her, but that didn’t mean he was going to let her off the hook.
He managed to secure his position as the young master of the Windrose family by leveraging his status as the nanny’s son. Even though the Windroses knew his true identity, they still chose him over Zack, all because his caution and suspicion.
