Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Emma shot a furious glance at Emma, taking a deep breath to steady herself.

"You little snake! Just you wait!"

Emma didn't react, simply settling back into her chair with a calm demeanor. The others around them were stealing glances, but she didn't mind. Instead, she focused on comforting Peyton.

"Mom, please eat. You've been bedridden recently; your body needs the nourishment."

Peyton tried to discreetly wipe away her tears, her sleeves growing damp.

"Emma, maybe we should just go back. The town was nice, and nobody there pointed fingers or hurled insults at us. Being a doctor there was respectable, too. That girl from earlier doesn't seem like she's going to leave us alone. This might just be the beginning of more trouble."

"Mom, don't worry about what she said. We don't owe her anything."

The first time Emma had arrived in Beaconsfield, the price of a beef sandwich at $35 had shocked her for a long time. After all, she had grown up in a rural area, eating simple bread and foraged greens, with meat being a once-a-week luxury that barely cost $10 a pound. It had been a shock and, initially, a source of embarrassment.

But after attending numerous classes with her teachers, she gradually came to terms with it.
