On the first day after Alexander Knight left, Emily Hart woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night. Her little body was shaking with fear, but in this huge castle, there was no one who could sleep with her.
She had gotten used to this kind of life without Uncle Li around, and was afraid of living alone. She buried her head in the quilt to suppress her fear, and even though her cheeks turned red from holding her head in, she dared not stick her head out to get some fresh air.
"Uncle Li..."
This dark night reminded her of the night of thunder and rain when she sneaked into Uncle Li's room. At that time, she was afraid that he would be with her, but he was not with her now.
Emily Hart seems to have been timid ever since she could remember. She is afraid of sleeping alone, especially in the dark night.
Without Uncle Li's company, Emily Hart cried for a long time, hugging her quilt tightly, with the feeling of Uncle Li by her side floating in her mind again and again...
The next day.
Emily Hart woke up from her sleep and found her eyes sore, probably because of crying in the middle of the night. She laughed at her own cowardice, got up from the bed and simply washed up.
…
"Ms. Xin'er, the schoolbag has been prepared for you." Mrs. Carter came forward to report after serving Emily Hart breakfast.
Emily Hart nodded calmly, and took a quick look around. Not seeing Ethan Lyle, she frowned, "Where's Brother Yaosi? Hasn't he gotten up yet?"
"My husband called just now and Mr. Liao went out to answer it." Mrs. Carter answered truthfully.
A call from Uncle Li?
Then why didn't you look for her?
Emily Hart couldn't help feeling disappointed. She had been thinking about him all night, but where was he? He didn't call her!
"Girl, what's wrong with you?" When Emily Hart was feeling depressed, Ethan Lyle suddenly came back.
"Brother Yaosi, Uncle Li called. Did he ask me anything?" Emily Hart couldn't help but ask.
Seeing Emily Hart's expectant look, Ethan Lyle couldn't bear to tell the truth, so he coughed lightly to cover up the lie, "Yes, he told you to study hard, and he will recheck it when you come back."
"Really?" Emily Hart nodded excitedly. This was the first time that Uncle Li went on a long trip and he even called to ask about her.
"As you wish, I will send a driver to take you to school and back, and the bodyguards don't have to follow you anymore, but you must take the special car back after school." Ethan Lyle didn't continue lying. This girl's innocence made him reluctant to deceive her.
"Thank you, Brother Yaosi. I'm going to school." Emily Hart was just excited that Uncle Li called her. She didn't ask anything else and hurried out and got on Li's special car.
"From now on, Emily Hart must not be informed of any phone calls from the gentleman. Do you understand?" After Ethan Lyle sent Emily Hart away, his face immediately turned gloomy.
"It's Mr. Liao, I understand." Mrs. Carter was embarrassed, not knowing that her words would offend her husband and Mr. Liao.
Ethan Lyle finally took out his cell phone and called someone. "You guys, follow Miss Emily Hart. Anyone who gets close to her must come back and report."
"clear."
Yes, he had to obey Alexander Knight's orders and could not let Emily Hart talk freely with the outside world. There were some things that needed to be guarded against.
…
After Emily Hart got off the bus, she stood at the school gate. She stared at the scene in front of her with a smile on her face. It was a feeling of freedom and joy, which was extremely graceful.
"Hey, Emily Hart, is that you?"
From a distance, Rachel Cooper saw a person standing at the door. The figure looked more and more familiar from behind, so she walked closer and saw that it was Emily Hart from Golden Gate.
As for why everyone calls her Jinmen, it is because she is so noble and majestic. She has bodyguards protecting her at school. Ordinary people cannot get close to her, and the school also treats her very specially.
"Rachel Cooper, I'm free." Emily Hart couldn't wait to announce her exciting event as soon as she heard Rachel Cooper's careless voice.
"Freedom? Your old man doesn't lock you up anymore?" Rachel Cooper was confused. Emily Hart had always longed for freedom, but it was like catching the moon in the water, so far away that she couldn't reach it. How could it be...
"Don't call me old man! My Uncle Li is very young, how do you talk like that?" What Emily Hart couldn't stand the most was that Rachel Cooper always called her Uncle Li an old man.
"You're young. Are you planning to marry your uncle?" Rachel Cooper chuckled and covered her mouth with her hands.
"Rachel Cooper, what are you talking about! He is my uncle." When Emily Hart heard what Rachel Cooper said, the scene of being kissed by Uncle Li that day suddenly appeared in her mind, and her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
"Hey! I'm just joking, why are you blushing?" Rachel Cooper didn't care about this kind of joke, but Emily Hart's blushing was abnormal. She would be shy when someone made fun of her and her uncle?
"Rachel Cooper, if you keep doing this, I'll be really angry!" The more Rachel Cooper kept asking, the more Emily Hart's heart began to flutter and she became uneasy. She didn't understand why she had such a reaction.
"Okay, I'm not going to tease you anymore. Let's talk about something practical. A big shot is coming to our school today." Rachel Cooper put one hand on Emily Hart's shoulder. She was rarely so serious.
Emily Hart looked at Rachel Cooper thinking seriously and she wanted to laugh, "Big shot?"
"Be serious, I'm not kidding you." Rachel Cooper hated it the most when she was serious. Others thought she was being mysterious. "Have you heard of the Rengong family?"
"Ren Gong Family?" Emily Hart frowned. She had never heard of this Ren Gong Family.
"Why are you so unsophisticated! You don't even know Logan Crane - a general in the army, a big shot!" Rachel Cooper's eyes turned red with anxiety. The Rengong family is very famous in the political world, how could someone not know him?
"I really don't know them..." Emily Hart really knew nothing about the Rengong family. Uncle Li had blocked her from all news from the outside world. She was like an outsider and knew nothing about what was happening in the outside world.
Rachel Cooper held her forehead with her hand, "Okay."
"The Rengong family has a precious son - Mason Crane. He is about the same age as us, and I heard that he just transferred from abroad and happens to be in our school. Isn't it a coincidence?"
"Mason Crane?" Emily Hart's mind was confused. She didn't understand why Rachel Cooper said this?
"I heard that Mason Crane looks like a prince from a fairy tale, handsome and charming. God let him come to our school, is he going to give me a passionate love?"
Rachel Cooper said this as she clasped her hands together and closed her eyes to imagine the beautiful and touching campus love story that was about to be released.
"Rachel Cooper, what's the point of being handsome? My uncle Li is very handsome, but I'm not like you. I'm drooling!" What Emily Hart hates most is people who become weak-kneed when seeing handsome guys.
"I don't believe it. How handsome can that old man in your family be? He must be a grey-haired, wrinkled old man. How can you call him a handsome guy? Emily Hart, don't you brag before you think about it?"
Rachel Cooper rolled her eyes. She thought Emily Hart's lie was totally unfounded and not credible at all.
