EMMY was startled by her brother's sudden outburst. Why did Casey suddenly say that Cecil Lancaster was a 'bad guy'? Did that bastard bully Casey somehow? If he did, she swore she'd make him pay.
"Why did you call him a 'bad guy'? Did he do something to you?" she asked.
Casey shook his head. "I- I just know he's a bad guy. Sister, you shouldn't marry him!"
She gently disentangled Casey from her and studied his expression. There was fear – the kind that showed that he was afraid for someone. And this 'someone' was most likely her. There was also guilt. As if telling this thing to her was some sort of crime.
Emmy couldn't understand the mixed expression on her younger brother's face. But she knew that he was hiding something. "Casey, did Cecil Lancaster threaten you in any way?"
Again, Casey just shook his head.
