Jonny's face instantly darkened, but Amelia couldn't figure out which words had upset him. She asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Jonny turned his head away. "That woman is obviously brought by Holden, it can't be Edith. Why did you lie to me?"
He couldn't remember what these people looked like, but he always made an effort to remember the people around Holden. He could remember them fairly well.
That woman had a pair of unique fox-like eyes, while Edith's face was fuzzy and lacked any distinctive features. So that woman definitely wasn't Edith.
Amelia knew everything, she was just keeping it from him. The only possible reason for that was because James was working for S, and she was trying to protect him.
Amelia was surprised. Wasn't Jonny face-blind? How could he remember Emelyn's appearance after seeing her only once?
As she pondered how to dispel Jonny's doubts, he suddenly took a step forward.
He got too close, causing Amelia to instinctively take a step back. She accidentally stepped on a pebble, causing her to lose her balance.
Just as she was about to fall, a fair hand reached out, supporting her waist and stabilizing her.
Amelia sighed helplessly, "So you didn't hear anything I explained. I wasted my breath."
Jonny asked, "What did you explain?"
Amelia tilted her head and looked at him, "Jonny, are you just looking for trouble?"
Only then did Jonny remember that he had come to investigate the whereabouts of S members. But Amelia had disrupted his thoughts, making him feel irritated. He looked at her with a displeased expression and said, "I told you to stay away from me!"
