Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 369

“She was brought back by Young Master Hunter. I have no rights to ask her out.”

The butler looked at the old man and whispered, “Shouldn’t we inform Young Master Hunter first and see what he’ll say?”

“Yes, Grandpa. Why don’t you ask Hunter first?”

A young man walked up from their back.

He was about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, handsome and outgoing. He looked at Emily with a bright smile.

“Are you the Emily who would have been my sister-in-law?”

He smiled and ignored his grandfather’s displeasure at all.

“Hello, we met before. Oh, no, I met you before. But now, your face is a little strange to me.”

Emily knew what he meant.

She used to be ugly, because she drew freckles on her face before.

She thought that he should be Porter of the Jackson family.

She had saw him before, but had never greeted him face to face, so she was a little unfamiliar with him.

“I’m Emily,” She said calmly, not admitting any other identity.

Porter stared at her with a big smile.

“You’re pretty now! I guess Hunter broke off the engagement with you because he was frightened by your ugly face.”

“And he brought you back because he regretted after seeing your real face.”

He looked at Patriarch with a naughty smile. “Grandpa, don’t you think so?”

The old man snorted and ignored him.

The butler thought Porter didn’t know how to read other people’s mind and felt a little helpless. .

Patriarch was angry and not in a mood to make a joke.

Porter didn’t get any reply from his grandfather, so he coughed to cover his embarrassment and turned to Emily.

“Since Hunter brought you back, you should go back to the WongRiver Pavilion and wait there for him.”

Emily became grateful to Porter.

She knew that he was giving her a chance to get away from Patriarch, so as not to be kicked out.

However, she did not intend to avoid it today.

“I will go back to the WongRiver Pavilion, but I still have some questions. I want to ask Patriarch.”

Nobody spoke. It became serious and solemn.

The butler wanted to say something, but Emily only stared at Patriarch. She seemed to insist to get a reply from him.

Porter had given her an opportunity to leave.

However, she didn’t seize it, but provoke him in the face.

She was really bold.

“I just want to ask you. Why didn’t you investigate thoroughly the accident with the matriarch? Instead, you immediately asked people to fill up this lake that may contain evidence?”

Emily’s question shocked Porter and the butler like a bolt out of the blue.

She was too bold!

How dare she mention the matriarch’s accident!

The matriarch’s accident was a taboo in this family.

More than a month had passed, and no one dared to mention it!

And she was the prime suspect when Matriarch had an accident!

She should have avoided the topic. How dare she take the initiative to mention it?

Was she too bold, or stupid?

It was definitely not a good thing for her to provoke Patriarch!
