Emily did not say anything as she looked around. The 100,000 dollars she had earned the night before was indeed gone.
She could not remember the rest clearly, but she was sure that she had obtained 100,000 dollars and hidden it in her
school uniform.
She turned back and asked the leading maid, "Where's my stuff?"
The maid lowered her head and replied softly, "I don't know. Maybe Master Everett
has put them away."
She did not know anything.
To Emily, the most important thing at the moment was to get her money and leave this place.
She did not know when Everett would come back. If he was going to take half a month to come back, she could not wait for his return!
She thought about it for a while, and suddenly, she caught a glimpse of her clothes.
Someone had already changed her into a white cotton nightdress. She looked especially gentle and well-behaved. There were white ribbons and bow bows wrapped around its neckline.
"What the hell?" Emily cursed out loud.
She had not worn such clothes in a long time.
The leading maid scrutinized
Emily's miserable face.
Even if Emily was drunk the night before, no one was allowed to touch her face, and no one was allowed to remove her makeup. In addition, her face was swollen due to her hangover state, making her look like a bloated pig.
They did not know what had gone over in their master's head for him to fall in love with
this woman.
She was not good-looking and was far from a lady from a respectable family.
Emily frowned and turned to the maid in front of her again. "I don't want to wear a skirt. Get me a black shirt and pants."
"Okay, we will prepare them for you immediately!"
After the maid walked out of the room, Emily immediately walked around the area where the chains could allow her to move and rummaged for her phone and other things.
Of course, her efforts were futile.
In this room, apart from the television, there was no other electronic equipment. It should have been stowed away by Everett, who had probably told the servants to do so.
She walked to the window and
looked outside. She realized that she was in a manor built on the top of the cliff of Sofitel, far away from the city.
She tried his best to look into the distance. Other than mountains and forests, a rocky beach, and seawater, there were no other families living in the area.
The maid who had just returned stood at the door, looked at Emily for a while, and kindly reminded her. "Miss Emily, this area is a private property under our master's name. There won't be anyone else here."
She was calling out to the heavens, but they were not responding.
Emily stared at them. Without saying a word, she turned back to the bed and sat on the edge.
Emily held her new clothes and stood still in front of the maid.
"Undo it for me, else how do I put on my pants?"
"There's no need to untie it." The maid smiled at her. "The pants have a zipper on the side."
This was truly baffling.
Emily was speechless.
"Then bring me a new pair of underwear!" she ordered again.
"Okay!" In a few minutes, they brought her a total of 20 or 30 underwear of different colors to choose from.
The most important part was that these underwear had strings on their sides to be tied.
"These are all too feminine. I don't want them," Emily replied with a frown.
"Our master told us to buy these styles. This is all we have," the maid responded apologetically.
The implication was that Emily wanted to unlock the chains around her feet. It was wishful thinking.
It seemed that she could only do it in an extreme way.
Emily had been lying on the bed for three days. She was going on a food strike.
On the third day, the maid almost knelt by the bed and begged her to eat something.
With her eyes open, she stared at the gorgeous curtain silently.
She did not speak, and there was no expression on her face.
She would not eat. She wanted to force Everett to show up.
"Miss Emily, please have some food!"
Emily was so weak that she could see stars in front of her.
Moreover, she had a slight tinnitus, but she still struggled to hold on, tightly pursing her lips and refusing to eat anything.
At this moment, someone grabbed the golden chain around her ankle and dragged her to the end of the bed.
Although it looked rough, in fact, it was very gentle and did not hurt her in the process at
all.
Everett grabbed Emily's shoulder and helped her sit up.
He reached out to the maid kneeling on the ground beside him and whispered, "A spoon."
Dressed in a black shirt, he looked like the emperor of the dark night. He was elegant, but he had a gloomy aura that could kill.
Emily was so weak that she could barely see Everett's face.
She stared at him silently and watched as he brought half a spoonful of soup to her mouth.
Suddenly, she reached out and pushed the spoon away.
The soup splashed onto the bed, and on her and Everett's bodies.
The maids by the side were so scared that their faces turned pale, and they remained silent.
They knelt on the ground and buried their heads to the ground, not even daring to look at Everett's shoes!
"My sweet honey, you've grown up." Unexpectedly, Everett did not get angry.
Instead, he chuckled.
Then, he calmly took out a silk dishcloth from the dish tray that was being carried by a maid and gently wiped the soup stains off Emily's body.
"I'm not yours."
Hearing him call her in that way, Emily replied coldly, without any inch of fear in her body.
Hearing what she said, the maids who were kneeling on the ground were shocked.
They could not imagine the consequences if she angered Everett!
Even if this person was Emily, who was favored by Everett himself!
"Let me go, I want to go to school!" Emily did not notice the unusual atmosphere at all and continued to protest angrily.
Because she had not eaten anything for three days in a row, her voice was extremely hoarse, and she could not speak too loudly.
"Since when has school become so fun?" Everett asked in a low voice. His voice was slightly raised, with a hint of sarcasm in it.
To everyone's surprise, he was not angry.
Emily took a deep breath. She did not know about her current state, nor if she would scare Everett away. She squeezed a fake smile at him and said, "It always has."
"It's so fun that you didn't inform anyone in your family that you were going to the bar and got drunk," Everett replied calmly.
Everett was already here.
Although Emily was not convinced, she must seize the rare opportunity to leave!
She hesitated for a moment and muttered, "There won't be a next time!"
"Give me a reason to convince me." Everett glanced at her.
Then, he scooped half a spoonful of soup and brought it to her mouth.
It was apparent that Everett seemed to be in a good mood that day. She had a chance.
Although Emily did not understand why he was being so patient that day, after pondering for a moment, she opened her mouth and drank the soup obediently.
"Good girl." Everett was satisfied. He brought the silver bowl over and continued to feed her.
Emily had to chew the food and drink the soup as she continued to find ways to please Everett.
After a moment, she made up her mind and added, "If there's a next time, I'll go back to my father's place.
Emily's father...
It was an unforgettable curse.
Emily was unwilling to step into the Wrigley family's house. She would even feel sick when she
passed by the house.
Everett could feel her sincerity.
After thinking about it, he put the bowl back on the silver tray and wiped the corners of Emily's mouth with the napkin in his hand.
He replied in a low voice, "Very
9000
Then, he got up and whispered to the servant kneeling in front of him, "Take her for a shower."
After that, he got up and went out.
"Okay!" The maid immediately got up and untied the chain at the foot of the bed.
Emily felt relieved at the servant's behavior. It was as if she had finally seen the light of day again! She was so excited that her feet trembled slightly.
She was finally free! God knew how she got through these three days!
She took the initiative to put her legs which were still chained in front of the servant, but the servant did not do
anything else. Instead, she bowed and retreated to the
side.
"Miss Emily, please follow us to the bathroom."
"But..
.." Emily was a little
surprised.
The maid replied respectfully,
"Master Everett only instructed us to give you a shower. He didn't say that he would release the chains."
