Chapter 674 Pressed Together

Emelie drew a small dagger that she had hidden in her boot.

Her mind was racing. Who were these people, and what were their motives? Were they here to kill her?

It seemed too early for the four families to kill her now, as she hadn't confronted them yet. Perhaps they intended to warn her by hurting her, or even kidnap her to force a confession of her plans.
