The so-called “no woman” rule had exceptions.
Emily looked away from Wendy’s hands, which were holding Hunter’s arm.
She walked beside Patriarch Gale with an indescribably calm look.
It was Wendy who lost it first!
“Why is she here?”
Patriarch Gale led Emily to them and said, “Mr. Hunter, please forgive me for not treating you properly just now.”
“It’s because I didn’t greet you earnestly. Please forgive me, Mr. Gale.”
Hunter responded properly. He had always been so elegant and generous.
Joseph smiled and said, “We are of the same family. Don’t stand on ceremony.”
The same family?
Patriarch Gale’s gaze fell on the two youngsters in front of him. They were handsome and beautiful. They were indeed a good match.
When he left, Hunter denied anything out of the ordinary with Wendy.
But now, as they walked together, they were like a couple.
What did this mean?
“Grandfather, she ...” Wendy stared at Emily and was still unhappy about her showing up.
Wendy was upset, the more she thought about it.
Did Emily come with Hunter? Were they still together?
“Saturday is the banquet day for you to sire bond. Why hasn’t anyone notified me?”
Emily forced a smile, “If I hadn’t known it and come over myself, I would have missed it.”
“Aren’t you going to take the exam and have to prepare for it? I just don’t want to stand in your way.”
Wendy forced herself to calm down. Even if Hunter had brought Emily here, the person beside Hunter now was herself, how can Emily still be a threat?
Emily couldn't.
She said indifferently, “I know about your poor grades all along. I don’t want to bother you. Otherwise I would be held responsible for your lousy grades, which would ultimately embarrass our family. I had to keep it from you.”
“Really? Wendy, why do I remember that I always got high marks in high school, but you …”
Emily tilted her head. She looked at Wendy with her innocent bright eyes.
“When you were in high school, you always went out with those boys and failed every course.”
“Emily!” Wendy really wanted to kill her! “When had I ever gone out with boys?”
She immediately looked up at the man standing beside her, tears welling up from the corners of her eyes. She seemed pitiful.
“Hunter, she slanders me. When I was in school, all I did was study. How could I have the time to go out and play?”
“My parents are very strict with me. They don’t allow me to go out with boys. But Emily …”
Wendy pointed at Emily and could not suppress her anger.
“She liked to wear fussy clothes. Not only did she wear heavy makeup every day, she also drank and smoked cigarettes. Everyone knew that.”
Emily just smiled and didn’t look at her anymore.
They were all bygones. She would quarrel and fight back in the old days. But now, she had no such interest.
She would argue if she felt like it. She would directly ignore her if she didn’t.
Wendy's passionate strike received no counterattack.
It looked like Wendy won.
However, on second thought, it was as if Emily was completely disdainful of quarreling with her.
She was just like a lunatic on her own!
At such a time, it was even more impossible for her to continue to curse Emily, which would make her not so charming!
Wendy was so angry that her fingertips were trembling. She was fuming with anger but had no outlet.
But how could she be the only one who went crazy?
If she went crazy, then Emily must go crazy with her!
