Chapter 774 Keep Your Distance
+5 Pearls
After he got to know Bria’s temper, Emmett no longer found any joy in his misfortune. Instead, he felt bad for his best friend and just hoped Bria would stay far away from Kaleb.
But the first time Emmett saw Bria, and she was around their age, he couldn’t help but admire her looks. His first reaction was pure shock. Her features were striking, with a refined oval face.
She was both delicate and cold, and unbelievably beautiful. He had never seen a girl so attractive- especially her eyes, which naturally carried a hint of arrogance and disdain for everything. Her entire presence radiated the aura of someone born into privilege.
Standing next to her, Emmett felt like some street punk who should be bowing to her.
Bria’s background was also incredibly powerful. The gap in status and influence was too big. Emmett could only keep his head down.
In terms of power, neither he nor Kaleb could afford to provoke her.
And yet Bria had taken the initiative to target Kaleb. She had someone beat up his best friend, and even after that, she still wasn’t satisfied and kept causing trouble. It made Emmett uneasy.

He had even heard that Bria was obsessed with Ayla.
Sometimes Emmett even felt like he should pay his respects to Ayla every day.
Even now, he and Kaleb were still relying on Ayla to survive.
“Are you sure?” Kaleb’s expression visibly darkened.

He despised Bria, regardless of gender. Out of everyone he couldn’t stand, Bria and Troy were tied for first place.
Just hearing the name Bria was enough to ruin his mood. He didn’t even want to hear it.
Emmett shook his head. “Maybe I was wrong.”

But afterward, he regretted it deeply.
On the way back to the hotel, the driver took a less crowded side road. A girl was running ahead, screaming as she fled.
Kaleb and Emmett had different personalities, but they were both the kind of people who stepped up when they saw something wrong.
Back then, an elderly woman lost her balance on an escalator and fell backward from halfway up. Kaleb reacted instantly. He pushed off with one hand, jumped over from the opposite escalator, and caught her.
