Chapter 401 Unexpected Revelation

"No. It's just that this vanity is kinda old and an eyesore at home, so I thought I'd toss

it."

"Bryan, why'd you come back? Is there something you didn't say?"

Actually, everything had been said.

Bryan was only pushing Emily because he didn't want to hurt Alice's feelings, though it was definitely not a wise choice.

He had just left his car keys on the couch and forgot to take them.

But seeing Emily's suspicious behavior now, Bryan was already feeling uneasy. He

looked her up and down and asked, "Is this vanity yours?"

Emily shook her head and, in a panic, said it belonged to Abigail.

She hoped to brush it off to avoid any more trouble.

At this moment, Bryan's suspicion deepened.

From his observation, the vanity was very old, clearly an antique from the previous generation.

Even though he didn't know Abigail well, Bryan knew that young girls wouldn't use such old furniture.

Moreover, Emily's behavior was telling. She said she wanted to throw the vanity out, but her actions showed she cherished it. She had even put protectors on its corners.

If she loved it so much, how could she throw it away?

Even if she was telling the truth and it was Abigail's, Emily was in her saddest moment. How could she have the mind to help her friend with this?

Was it really just to distract herself?

It couldn't be that simple. Her words didn't add up.

Bryan raised an eyebrow, having a thought and a response. "Are you planning to leave Emerald City quietly?"
