Chapter 264 Cursed Family
“Th–That’s…”
“…Grandma!”
The moment Emily saw the familiar face, the emptiness in her eyes disappeared.
Tears streamed down her cheeks before she even realized it.
The face in the photograph by her bedside….
The face that had appeared in her dreams countless times….
Was now right in front of her again.
Only this time-
She was moving.
Smiling warmly at her.
“Emily… are you all right?”
It was her grandmother’s voice.
Emily had endured so much that she’d gone emotionally numb.
But the instant she heard that gentle, familiar voice…
Her tears burst free once more.
The AI version of her grandmother smiled from the screen.
Hearing Emily cry, she tilted her head in confusion.
“What happened? Who bullied my Emily?”
It was an AI built from her grandmother’s memories.
Emily hugged her phone tightly, sobbing so hard she could barely breathe.
“Grandma… I miss you so much…”
The AI analyzed her words.
On the screen, her grandmother blinked softly, her voice becoming even gentler.
“Don’t cry, Emily. Grandina’s here.”
That entire afternoon, Emily clutched her phone, talking endlessly with the Al version of her

grandmother.
Lile by little…
She climbed out of the emotional darkness she’d been trapped in.
“So you’ve come to your senses? If you’d been like this from the beginning, none of this would ve happened.”

When Mr. Wolfe saw Emily finally eating the meals brought to her room, he smiled in satisfaction
Taking advantage of his lowered guard, Emily quietly investigated who had actually created the AN application.
It obviously wasn’t Julie Young.
Julie specialized in traditional cultural arts.
Artificial intelligence had nothing to do with her expertise.
Julie admitted it without hesitation.
“I was honestly shocked too. I never imagined Iris could build something this advanced.”
Then she laughed.
“Although… since it’s Iris, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.”
That evening, the Noir family was having a barbecue at their villa.
Just as Iris was piling grilled meat onto her plate, Emily called.
Setting down the mountain of food, Iris took her phone and walked to a quieter corner of the garden.
“Hello?”
Silence.
Then-
“…Thank you.”
Her voice sounded thick and nasal.
Like she’d been crying.
“So you called just to say that?”
Iris settled comfortably onto the garden swing.
Emily took a deep breath, as though making an important decision.

“Do you remember what you told me back in Ashford County?”
“You said… you could help me.”
Her voice wasn’t loud. But it was steady.
“Miss Noir… I don’t want to compete with you over Ares.”
“I’m sure you’ve already realized that.”
“And I don’t want to be forced into marrying some stranger.”
“…Can you help me?”
Iris gently pushed off the ground with her feet, making the swing sway.
“If I help you… what do I get in return?”
Emily gave a bitter smile. “I honestly don’t know what I have that you’d want. But…”
“You gave me that AI. So… I think you already wanted to work with me.”

After spending time with the AI version of her grandmother, Emily’s thoughts had finally become clear again.
Weeks of relentless matchmaking and pressure from her parents had turned her into someone who could barely think for herself.
Iris nodded with satisfaction.
“The day you brought me to the hotel… there were people waiting inside, weren’t there?”
Emily’s breathing hitched. She hadn’t expected Iris to have known all along.
Thinking back…
Even if she hadn’t stopped Iris…
Iris probably would’ve escaped without any trouble.
Emily lowered her eyes.
“Yes. Someone approached my father about working together. My only job was to lure you into the room.”
“They said they’d take care of everything afterward.”
“And the Wolfe family wouldn’t be implicated.”
Iris nodded. “I can help you. But what I need from you won’t be easy.”
Emily’s heart tightened. “What do you need me to do?”

A cool night breeze brushed through Iris’s hair. She looked into the darkness ahead.
“I Want you… to take control of the entire Wolfe family.”
She had a growing suspicion.
The incidents involving Venus, Steven, and Rupert Young…
Were connected somehow.
Very likely….
