Xavier didn’t really get wire Emily suddenly asked him that, but the look in her eyes instantly set off alarm bells in his mind.
felt just like the moment Xavier first heard from Emily that Jackson was dead.
Xavier instinctively took a step back, his eyes glued to the scissors in her hand. He couldn’t help but feel a sorge of resistance inside.
Emily noticed his reaction and couldn’t help but laughs. Her smile was twisted, making her look like a demon crawling straight out of het
“Everyone at St. Gabriel Reform Academy sleeps with a weapon in their fand, just in case. Jackson did the same,” she said. “Take a guess. Why do you think we do that!”
Xavier reayed on his feet, nearly losing his balance. His mind raced, but in the end, he only stammered, “I I don’t know”
Emily stared at Xavier, her face completely emotionless.
“Of course, he doesn’t know,” she thought. Just like the Bennett Family had no idea what I was forced to go through after sending me to St. Gabriel Reform Academy
“But what’s done is done. Scars that cut to the bone can’t just be wiped away with simple words. Just because we didn’t hate, doesn’t mean we’ve
forgiven
Emily let out a cold laugh and tossed the scissors at his feet. “Save those excuses for Jackson. Tell him yourself”
She withdrew her disgusted gaze from him and turned to leave.
As she turned around, she saw Austin standing not far away, a big grin on his face and a branch of pomeloloaves in his hand.
Seeing that Emily seemed to have handled things, Austin finally walked over. “Emily, if you hadn’t come out soon, I was about to jump in myself.”
They’d promised to wait just four days, and only God knew how hard it was for Austin to hold himself back.
Emily relaxed, a smile unconsciously blooming on her face, “Sorry to make you worry”
Austin shook his head, grinning as he waved the pomelo leaves. “Emily, open your arms. Let me sweep away all the bad energy for you.”
His bright, cheerful smile was infectious, and Emily felt the gloom in her heart melt away. She obediently spread her arms, letting Austin wave the pomelo leaves all over her like some kind of ritual.

Finally,
Before closing the car door, Austin glanced back at Xavier, who was still standing there in a daze. For a split second, a shadow flashed in Austin’s eyes.
If it hadn’t been for Xavier, Emily would never have had to go through this whole mess. Emily might not want to make a fuss about it, but Austin just
couldn’t let it side.
Austin didn’t have a driver’s license, so there was no way he could drive. Emily had to take the wheel.
As for the car, he’d paid for it in full buying it specifically just to pick her up.
Ever since he first gave Emily a bank card, Austin had been transferring money into it every month.
That was his way of giving her living expenses and payment. Whether she used it or not, he always made sure to send it.

easier for her
When Emily realized the car was bought for her, she paused, looking at Austin for a long moment.
The car was already bought and registered in her name. Emily didn’t make a fuss or try to refuse Austin’s kindness, just said, “I’ll pay you back”
Her bluntness made Austin pause for a second, then he let out a soft laugh. “Wright, just put the money back on that bank card I gave you.”
After all, the bank card was with Emily, and all the info was in her name; it was always meant for her anyway.
Emily had no idea what was going through Austin’s mind. She just drove straight back to her rental apartment.
