Speed Candles novel Chapter 24

Though everybody was embarrassed by Sehastian’s lack of interests. As a well-experienced playboy, Max came to rescue, “Sebastain, what’s wrong with Ada?”

As he said, he gesticulated, “Look at her temperament, figure and appearance! She’s no worse than those celebrities and models!”

Seeing someone helping her, Ada pretended to look pale and aggrieved.

Ethan is a decent wealthy man who was well-educated since he was a child. He was only in this club because of Max. In an aloof tone, he squinted at the others, “That’s about it tonight. We should head back.”

Max was a bit drunk and said recklessly, “Are you a real man or not, Sehastian! Can’t you do it?”

Sehastian’s face changed in a second. Ethan was worried that he would knock Max down. He asked all the ladies out of the room and then persuaded Sehastian to leave Y Club.

Three days later, Emily followed the schedule and personally accompanied Oskar to view the properties as a sales lady and served him in every possible way.

When there was the last one left to be viewed, Evelyn called and said that the shareholders had withdrawn their shares. The King family and the Morris family did not have a deep friendship, and the shares were regarded as sponsor stock back then. The Kings must had heard some rumours to withdraw.

Emily felt that there must be something strange about this matter. She was smart enough to notice the King family and the Clark family had always had a good relationship, and she just pissed Sehastian Clark off. And look what came to her now!

This was obviously deliberate, and the target of the attack was her.

Emily didn't have time to be pretentious. When she arrived in Seaview Properties, Hope was waiting for her. She was going to take Emily to the hospital before she meets Sehastian.

“I will explain to Mr. Clark about the child, but I will not go to the hospital with you”, said Emily.

Because there was no child in her belly, it was a lie she made up in front of everyone.

As a woman herself, Hope surly knew what she meant. She drove along the way without saying anything.

Sehastian must have some profound intentions to make an appointment at a high-end club where layers of inspections must be passed. Besides, the appointment was set for 11 o'clock in the evening.

Emily walked to the door and was forced back several steps by the erosive and dim atmosphere in the private room. The light shone in from the open door, and someone turned his head.

“Miss Morris, you are finally here. Mr. Clark has been waiting for a long while.” It was Dylan Fox, the scum who colluded with Dorothy to humiliate her and tried to put her back into jail.

Emily sighed viciously and was obviously disgusted by his pretence, “Mr. Fox, it's not like we don't know each other. Why are you pretending?”

Hearing this, Dylan squinted at her in a nasty way, “Miss Morris, are you still rankled what happened last time in your mind? That was me drinking too much and acting recklessly. I hope you can forgive such an old fellow like me.”

“Where is Mr. Clark?”, Emily asked flatly, unwilling to look at the man again.

“President Clark is dealing with some business issues in the private room next door. We were assigned to take good care of Miss Morris”, Dylan said when he was going to come over and pull her in.

The scene of Dylan made a compliment, as well as a kneeling apology triggered her caution. Everyone in this room was half-drunk, she would be in a perilous position if she went in, Emily stood in fornt of the door and thought about it.

In order to avoid his nasty hands, Emily had to step back until a hard wall of flesh against her back and one arm wrapped around her waist.
