In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1181

Her last remark was obviously referring to the woman standing next to Mitchell.

Emery had a sharp tongue, so her words always hit their mark. Upon hearing her snide comment, Mitchell immediately felt embarrassed and humiliated. Hence, he pulled his hand back from the woman’s grip and thrust his hands into his pockets. After which, he cleared his throat and bent over to look at Summer. “Is she your daughter?”

Mitchell didn’t seem like a good person, so I subconsciously pulled Summer in front of me in a defensive manner. “ You’ve misunderstood. She’s my daughter.”

He straightened up and raised one of his brows, looking at me. “And you are?”

Emery aggressively stood in front of me. “Stop looking at her with those eyes. She’s taken by someone you can’t afford to offend. Don’t get any ideas up in that horrid head of yours.”

“Oh?” Mitchell smirked scornfully. “I didn’t know that there’s someone the Ziegler family can’t afford to offend in K City?”

Emery sneered in mockery, “It’s a parent’s duty and responsibility to educate their children. We have no obligation to eradicate illiteracy. Goodbye!”

Mitchell turned blue in the face while Emery dragged Summer and I away from the store.

As we left, we could hear the man shouting in dissatisfaction. “Emery, don’t be so cocky! Do you think I wouldn’t be able to find out if you don’t tell me anything? You better watch out!”

A bad feeling washed over me, and I turned back to have a look at the man. Mitchell was already making a phone call, his eyes burning with fury. When he realized I was looking at him, his facial expression changed abruptly when our eyes met. He shot a sly grin at me, sending chills down my spine. My heart began pounding furiously, and I hastily sped up.
