Chapter 186

"Hi, Ms. Kensington." When Emily saw Elara, there was a flicker of surprise in her eyes. She hadn't expected Elara to actually come to pick her up.

Elara sized Emily up, relieved to see that she wasn't hurt.

Jack probably wouldn't resort to physical violence at this stage; he was more interested in wearing Emily down mentally, forcing her to give up on her own. His methods were psychological, not physical. "Let's go," Elara said. She led Emily downstairs. The moment they descended, Elara spotted Jack sitting on the sofa, surrounded by his family's security team.

Jack raised a smirk when he saw her. "Ms. Kensington, I offered you a ride, but you refused. Yet here you are, coming over on your own."

"I'm here to take Emily back," Elara replied firmly.

Jack glanced at Emily and then back at Elara. "She's perfectly fine here. Is there something about this place that doesn't suit her?"

As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to Emily, got up, and walked over to her. He extended a hand.

Emily froze in fear, too startled to move away. Her eyes widened as Jack's fingers reached her face, brushing her cheek.

Jack gently pinched her cheek, his tone deceptively kind. "Good job. Without you, Ms. Kensington wouldn't have paid me at

visit. Ms. Kensington, since you're already here, don't think about leaving."

Elara pulled out her phone, intending to make a call.

Jack's voice turned cold. "Don't bother. The person who came here with you has already been sent away. Ms. Kensington, shall we go upstairs and talk?" As he spoke, he extended his hand toward her. Before he could touch her, Elara slapped him across the face.

Jack paused, clicking his tongue in mock annoyance. "Such a temper. But I have to say, it's quite interesting that you dared to hit me."

He turned to his men. "Let Emily go. Since she helped bring Ms. Kensington here, I'll keep my word and let her leave."

Elara turned to Emily, her thoughts racing. 'Emily tricked me into coming here?'

Emily's eyes widened in panic as she looked at Elara, desperate to explain. "Ms. Kensington, I..."

Before Emily could finish, Jack's men grabbed her and escorted her out the door.
