“What are you trying to do?” Sarah almost gone crazy when she heard Emily.
Hunter was staring at Emily with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
This little girl, she could pull such a… vicious move!
Although her actions were cruel, but somehow, he felt a swell of admiration towards her.
She was worthy to be his woman.
After hanging up the phone, Emily returned her phone to its original place while looking at Sarah faintly.
“I didn’t do anything at all, I just want to make use of certain methods to let you, who think that someone who’s twenty-two is still a child, know that she was no longer a child since long time ago.”
One shouldn’t regard a person who had committed mistakes as merely a child.
And one shouldn’t have one-sided emotional perception about other’s opinion about that “child” she or he was talking about.
No matter who it was, even if that was your own child, as long as he or she had committed grave mistakes even by accident, the society would teach him or her a lesson. This rule applied to everybody universally, let alone adults.
“Who have you called just now? Ask him to stop! Do it now!”
Sarah was stomping towards her, looking like she wanted to pry away Emily’s phone.
Emily dodged sideways and ended up sitting in front of Hunter.
Sarah wanted to pull her, but Hunter raised his hand and pushed her hands away while barking, “Sarah, that’s enough!”
“Aren’t you stopping her? Do you know what she’s doing now?”
Sarah was on the brink of tears. She was feeling aghast at this child whom she had cared for many years but was now assisting an outsider to engineer her downfall.
“Hunter, I’m your stepmother! Even if I’m not your biological mother, did I ever mistreat you in any way throughout the years?”
“Her actions are going to push Nina towards death’s door! Hunter, are you really going to help such a heartless woman?”
“If your niece had never done any of those, and it turns out that such rumors were fabricated by her and her friends, I can guarantee that I will punish her for this.” Hunter pushed away her hand slightly but Sarah didn’t intend to give up on advancing towards Emily. She was stopped short by Liam.
“Madam, since the master has given you his words, why are you still being stubborn?”
“No, you have to stop her, Hunter, you have to stop her now. Or else, Nina would really meet her end!”
Hunter lifted his gaze and focused on her with a blank face, “Sarah, are you saying that you believe your niece had done those despicable things too?”
“I…” Sarah’s expression froze, “Nina was just a child. She was ignorant about the ways of the world.”
“Then, I’ll have to urge you to get to the truth of this matter and realize that she was no longer a mere child since long time ago. After that, you can come to see me again.”
Hunter simply waved his hands.
Liam immediately directed his attention on Sarah. “Madam, it’s getting late now, you should go back earlier to rest.”
“Hunter, don’t do this to me, you’ll cause Nina’s life to go to ruins. Hunter, I beg you now, stop her, please stop her…”
Although Sarah was never respected by the two ladies in the Jackson family all along, but she still wielded some power within the family. Hunter was especially respectful towards her.
With her status in the family, if word had gotten out that she was being “ushered” out of the WongRiver Pavillion, how could she face anybody with her head held high anymore?
Despite this, she was not totally sad about this fact. She was rather saddened by the fact that Hunter had decided not to compromise with her even for one bit.
He was siding with Emily now. He had made his intentions of destroying Nina’s life clear.
There was no way she could let this happen. Nina’s life was going to get destroyed by them if things went on undisturbed!
After Sarah was sent out of the place, Liam returned and looked at Emily while finding it hard to begin, “Milady, are you really going to…”
He didn’t finish his sentence after that. He just silently wished that the milady was joking about her threats. Otherwise, if this matter escalated, the two families would have a hard time facing each other in the future.
“Milady, you… you’re just spooking Madam, am I correct?”
“Has the Young Master ever sent out false alarms before when he’s dealing with similar situations?”
Emily picked up a tea cup and took a sip of the tea.
