Speed Candles novel Chapter 2

“Oh Emily!”

Dorothy, who had been silent and calm from the beginning, said softly, “I know that you were not satisfied with your father’s favoring Louisa over you, but you were too cruel! To stop your father from letting your half-sister marry into the Clark family, you not only poisoned him but also slept with your sister’s fiancé!”

Dorothy’s words were like bolts from the blue to Emily. She could never imagine that a woman who had slept in the same bed with her father for more than two decades would poison her father only to fulfill her selfish desire. And Dorothy would set the whole thing upon her.

The group of journalists was so excited that the room was filled with the clicking sound of their cameras. Sebastian looked furious and shouted with his back to the crowd, “Get the hell out of here!”

Because of the power behind the Clark family, the angry Sebastian Clark might turn the entire C City upside down. The journalists certainly could not afford to offend him, so they quickly dispersed one after another. There were only several policemen waiting outside the door.

Louisa was crying her eyes out. She stepped forward to get close to Sebastian, “Sebastian...”

“I will see you and Mrs. Morris later.” Sebastian did not even look at her.

Louisa glanced at Emily and Sebastian. Because of Sebastian, she did not dare to do anything else but gnashed her teeth in hatred. She walked out to the door but couldn’t help turning to look back repeatedly at every three steps.

When Emily noticed that Sebastian would have a cigarette, she reached out and lit it up for him. She asked, “Is there anything else that Mr. Clark wants to talk about with me?”

Sebastian took a light breath and spat out the smoke, “As long as you beg me, the police interrogation will be a mere formality.”
