My Most Precious Wife
Chapter 369 You Are Too Presumptuous

"She was brought back by Young Master Hunter. I have no rights to ask her out."

The butler looked at the old man and whispered, "Shouldn't we inform Young Master Hunter first and see what he'll say?" "Yes, Grandpa. Why don't you ask Hunter first?"

A young man walked up from their back.

He was about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, handsome and outgoing. He looked at Emily with a bright smile.

"Are you the Emily who would have been my sister-in-law?"

He smiled and ignored his grandfather's displeasure at all.

"Hello, we met before. Oh, no, I met you before. But now, your face is a little strange to me."

Emily knew what he meant.

She used to be ugly, because she drew freckles on her face before.

She thought that he should be Porter of the Jackson family.

She had saw him before, but had never greeted him face to face, so she was a little unfamiliar with him.

"I'm Emily," She said calmly, not admitting any other identity.

Porter stared at her with a big smile.

"You're pretty now! I guess Hunter broke off the engagement with you because he was frightened by your ugly face."

"And he brought you back because he regretted after seeing your real face."

He looked at Patriarch with a naughty smile. "Grandpa, don't you think so?"

The old man snorted and ignored him.

The butler thought Porter didn't know how to read other people's mind and felt a little helpless..

Patriarch was angry and not in a mood to make a joke.

Porter didn't get any reply from his grandfather, so he coughed to cover his embarrassment and turned to Emily.

"Since Hunter brought you back, you should go back to the Wong River Pavilion and wait there for him." Emily became grateful to Porter.

She knew that he was giving her a chance to get away from Patriarch, so as not to be kicked out. However, she did not intend to avoid it today.

"I will go back to the WongRiver Pavilion, but I still have some questions. I want to ask Patriarch."

Nobody spoke. It became serious and solemn.

The butler wanted to say something, but Emily only stared at Patriarch. She seemed to insist to get a reply from him.

Porter had given her an opportunity to leave.

However, she didn't seize it, but provoke him in the face.

She was really bold.

"I just want to ask you. Why didn't you investigate thoroughly the accident with the matriarch? Instead, you immediately asked people to fill up this lake that may contain evidence?" Emily's question shocked Porter and the butler like a bolt out of the blue.

She was too bold!

How dare she mention the matriarch's accident!

The matriarch's accident was a taboo in this family.

More than a month had passed, and no one dared to mention it!

And she was the prime suspect when Matriarch had an accident!

She should have avoided the topic. How dare she take the initiative to mention it? Was she too bold, or stupid?

It was definitely not a good thing for her to provoke Patriarch!

Patriarch's expression was frozen-cold. Nobody dare to look directly at him now.

Especially when he narrowed his eyes, the coldness in his eyes made people want to avoid him subconsciously.

Emily clenched her fists tightly. Actually, she was a little scared.

He and Hunter were of the same kind of people. Hunter's temperament would also keep people stay away.

He was the one who brought Hunter up, so he definitely had the same temperament.

Emily was nervous in her heart. However, her doubts about her grandmother's "accident" and her determination to reveal the truth made her brave.

"Patriarch, I was the eyewitness to the accident at that time. I suspect that there is something hidden at the bottom of the lake."

"You ..." Porter wanted to stop her, but suddenly, he felt that he could not interfere in them.

He had thought that Emily was just beautiful.

He hadn't expected that she was not all that she seemed. She behaved more like Hunter.

He was astonished at her subconscious determination and domination.

Her domineering temperament was in contrast to her delicate appearance.

"What do you want to say?" Patriarch said in a deep voice, but made people around feel stressful.

Emily pursed her lower lip. It was impossible for her to retreat now.

"I want to dig up this piece of soil and discover the secrets at the bottom of the lake."

When the old butler heard this, he immediately stopped her. "Miss Emily, you don't have the rights to do that."

"No, I have! It has affected my reputation!"

Emily stared at Patriarch's eyes all the time. Even if his gaze became even colder and more frightening, she did not have a bit of intention of retreating at all. "Patriarch, as the only witness at that time, I have the right to suspect it."

Patriarch narrowed his eyes. "What if I don't agree?"

"If you don't agree, then ..."

Emily took a deep breath and said with determination, "Then, I will call the police and tell them that there is evidence to replace the murderer at the bottom of the lake!" "How dare you!" Patriarch's face darkened.

His expression frightened the old butler and Porter.

He and Hunter were the same. People would be frightened by their anger.

Did Emily know how serious it was?

If Patriarch was furious, everyone would suffer.

The old butler said in a hurry, "Miss Emily, what happened to Matriarch was an accident!"

"It wasn't an accident. I've already discovered how the murderer killed her."

Emily did not want to compromise at all.

She met Patriarch's gaze and said in a deep voice, "If you don't agree, I will directly call the police and let the police handle this matter!"

"Miss Emily, you are too presumptuous!" the old butler immediately shouted.

It must be an accident.

If the news of the murder in the Jackson family was made public, their shares would drop drastically.

At that time, would she be able to bear the consequences?

"I know that it will have a direct impact on the Jackson Group."

It would affect the entire business community of the Bentson City.

She clenched her fists tightly, but she still refused to budge.

"However, we can't let the murder get away with the hook. You filled up the bottom of the lake on the moment you realized that things weren't as simple as they seemed, did you?" "You're not a coward, but you are afraid that if things continue to be investigated, more people will get involved!"

She took a step forward, her words sonorous and forceful!

"Because you know that the murder is one of the Jackson family!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
