Chapter 371
Feeling the icy stare from the commanding man, the two guys holding Emily exchanged a nervous glance.
One of them reacted quickly. He put on a grin and said, “My sister, honestly. Just because she hasn’t seen you in a while doesn’t mean she should drink this much.
“It’s a good thing I’m here to look out for her; otherwise, she’d have everyone so worried.”
The other guy immediately caught on and added, “Don’t worry. She is my girlfriend-I’ll make sure she’s taken care of.”
They kept talking as they hurriedly helped Emily around the corner.
The commanding man just stood there watching in silence until their figures disappeared around the corner. Only then did he finally order, “Find out what’s going on.”
His assistant looked up in surprise.
They had come to Cloudridge on short notice and were supposed to keep a low profile—this wasn’t the kind of thing they should be getting involved in.
But the assistant never dared to go against the man’s orders, so he quickly lowered his head and answered, “Yes, sir.”
Emily was brought into a room in the far corner, where Sean was already waiting.
Sean lifted Emily’s face. He let out a smug laugh and said, “You little bitch, didn’t think you’d ever end up in my hands, did you?”
He seethed, ‘Back then, Emily was so bright and lively, acting superior and always needing to be coddled and flattered.
‘Even after her fake identity as a wealthy heiress was exposed, she still didn’t care about me. Where does she get the nerve to act that way?’
“Tie her up,” Sean ordered the two men.
At Sean’s command, the two men quickly tied Emily to a chair and blindfolded her with a cloth.
After that, the only thing left in the room was the faint sound of shuffling and things being moved around.
Emily timed her awakening perfectly, faking confusion and fear as she struggled against the ropes, acting like she couldn’t see anything and was completely helpless.
Sean chuckled with satisfaction at her reaction. He said, “Stop struggling, Emily. There’s no way you’re getting out of this.”
Emily acted like she’d just realized who had tied her up, her voice trembling with panic and shock. She exclaimed, “Sean? What are you trying to do?”
Sean stepped closer. He slid his hand across her face with a disgusting grin and said, “I was going to keep you blindfolded for a bit of kinky fun, but I didn’t expect you to recognize me so quickly.
“Be honest, you little slut-haven’t you been dying for me to have my way with you?”
Emily jerked her face away from his touch, her brows knitting tightly in disgust.

Chapter 371
According to the plan that Isolde had given Emily, Sean was supposed to tie Emily up and pretend he was going to kill her to intimidate her. But now, Sean’s behavior seemed a bit different from the original plan.
A sense of unease began to rise in her heart, and Emily quietly started working on the ropes behind her back.
Just as Emily was trying to make sense of things, Isolde’s voice suddenly broke the silence.
Isolde said, “Mr. Sinclair, this wasn’t the plan. You’ve got five guys packed into a closed room with a woman, planning to do something like that to her-and you even want to record it? Don’t you think that’s going too far?”
Hearing this, the color drained from Emily’s face beneath the blindfold, and she went completely rigid. In that moment, all the nightmares she had locked away deep inside threatened to come crashing out.
When Isolde had sent her those files, Emily already knew that whatever Sean had planned to scare her, it was never going to be gentle.
But after all the cruel tricks and torture she’d witnessed at St. Gabriel Reform Academy, there was no way she’d be afraid of a pampered rich kid like Sean.
