From Ruin She Rose novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408

The Bennett family’s apologies seemed genuinely sincere. They always brought gifts, showed up rain or shine, and never lost their temper when Emily gave them the cold shoulder. But they kept saying that everything was Lydia’s fault, and they were just led astray.

Emily thought it was laughable, and it only made her even more determined to never see those people who made her sick.

With Austin’s arrangements, the Bennett family had no way of finding Emily, so she was never bothered by them at all. But this didn’t mean no one else could.

That day, as soon as Emily got home, she found a package. There was no information about the sender on the package, which gave it a strange feeling.

Austin’s first instinct was to immediately pull Emily behind him and order someone to deal with the package. It wasn’t long before his men came back to report that there was nothing dangerous inside but just a strange mask.

“A mask?” Austin looked puzzled and asked, “What kind of mask?”

“It’s a pitch-black smiling mask,” the bodyguard replied.

Austin’s frown deepened. He had no clue what this weird mask was about. But then he noticed Emily’s face went instantly pale. It was obvious this mask was meant for Emily.

Austin shot the bodyguard a look, and the bodyguard instantly got the message, turning to take care of the mask.

“Wait,” Emily suddenly said, her voice trembling. “Bring that mask here. She had to see it with her own eyes.

Emily had already guessed what was coming and tried to brace herself, but the moment she saw the mask, a jolt of fear shot through her. She flinched so hard that the mask slipped from her hands and crashed to the floor.

It was like she’d been dragged straight into a nightmare. Her face went ghostly pale. She felt as if a giant invisible hand was squeezing her throat, making every breath she took extremely difficult.

Austin reacted instantly, catching Emily just as she was about to collapse, and with a swift, decisive kick, he sent the mask skidding far across the floor.
