"What are you talking about? She is not your daughter!" In a panic, Emily stood more firmly outside the door and wouldn't budge.
Although she was slender, and she looked incomparably weak in front of Hunter, the decision to protect her daughter was very strong.
That firm eyes and the fearless face seemed to tell him that even if she died, she would not give in!
Hunter's heart was terribly painful tonight.
He just wanted to see Basia. He really, really missed the little girl, but he didn't want to embarrass her.
But in front of her, he became a bad guy.
"I didn't hurt the Gale family." He lowered his voice.
Emily felt a little sore when he thought about what Terry just told her that Hunter had given up the five percent of his shares for the Gale Group.
But what was the use of talking about it now?
"Do you really think you haven't hurt the Gale family?"
What about her? Who was responsible for what she had been now?
She couldn’t show up with her truly look and she could never go home for fear that she would bring shame to the Gale family.
She really missed her grandfather, her cousins, her aunts, and her uncles, and even all the things of the Gale family.
But she couldn't go back, she really couldn't go back!
Under the charge of having an unnatural relationship with her cousin, she, the lady of the Gale family, had to disappear forever.
Otherwise, the whole Gale family would be dragged down by her.
Who caused all this?
Would he not have known what Wendy had done? His connivance was clearly an accomplice.
He was also one of the murderers who wanted to deal with the Gale family, and now, he told her that he didn't hurt the Gale family?
Hunter probably knew that she didn’t believe him.
"I just... I want you to know that I didn't hurt them anymore."
"It is none of my business."
"I'm sorry. I just misunderstood your grandfather. I thought it was he who killed..."
"I said it is none of my business! Emily didn't want to hear a single word!"
It was over. What was left to say?
What could be changed now?
As long as she didn't show up, everyone in the Gale family could live in peace, and when she reappeared, the scandal about her and Joseph would start all over again.
No one could help her unless she disappeared, unless Emily disappeared forever!
Hunter's lips tightened. He swallowed everything he tried to explain.
He was not a talker, and he would not explain if the other person was not her.
But the only person he was willing to explain to was the one who disdained to listen to him.
Sure enough, nothing needed to be said. Action was the most practical.
He suddenly bent over and picked Emily up.
"You!" Emily almost screamed, but just before she did, she remembered that there were two kids sleeping soundly in the room.
She bit her lips to keep from shouting.
She put her hands against his chest and struggled.
Bu it was no use struggling in front of Hunter.
Hunter carried her into the next room and closed the door behind him.
He didn’t turn on the light, and when the door was closed, everything plunged into darkness.
"Let go of me! Emily struggled.
Hunter did not listen to her. He put her down on the bed and pressed against her.
Since she didn't want to listen to him, he would just do what he wanted to do!
But just as he looked down to find her lips, suddenly, Emily slapped his face.
It sounded clear and loud, unusually clear on a quite night like this.
