Chapter 162 Let Bygones Be Bygones

Alice got the hint right away and grabbed Bryan's hand, ready to leave. "Bryan, that's enough. We're outta here!"

Emily let out a sigh of relief. Thank goodness things didn't get too crazy, and Penelope's jewelry exhibition was still intact.

"You okay?" Emily asked, feeling a pang of sympathy.

Michael slowly lifted his eyes, filled with a mix of emotions. "Shouldn't I be asking you that?"

With that, Michael took Emily's hand and led her out of the main exhibition hall.
