My Most Precious Wife
Chapter 396 So Much Like Her Old Friend

"Bitch, don't pretend to be dead!"

Wendy's face completely darkened when she saw how Emily fell down to the ground.

She just pulled her. How could it make her faint?

"Bitch, get up!" Wendy stretched out her foot and kicked Emily's leg.

Emily still did not react.

Wendy didn't believe it. She raised her spiky high heel and stamped on Emily's leg hard.

This time, Emily finally reacted and snorted.

"Bitch, you're pretending! Get up, or I'll kill you!"

Wendy kicked her again. Emily finally opened her eyes slightly.

Her legs hurt with a searing pain.

However, her heart ached even more! The pain made her stomach churn.

She suddenly turned sideways and retched.

Wendy hated this woman's pretense.

Seeing her retching, she sneered, "Mr. Hunter and grandfather are not here. Who do you show pity to?"

Emily had really fainted just now. But now, she was completely awake.

"Bitch..."

"If you do this one more time, I will shout."

Emily glared at her and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She struggled and got up.

Her leg hurt. It seemed hurt.

Wendy wanted to continue with the kicking. But it wouldn't do her any good if this bitch cried out. She didn't know whom Emily was speaking to on the phone. She seemed to be desperate. Wendy was curious. Did this have anything to do with her?

However, Emily didn't want to pay attention to her anymore. Right now, she didn't feel like it at all.

It turned out that everything she had thought was just her own extravagant hopes. What exactly was she hanging on to?

No, Patriarch Gale was not her grandfather. Wendy was the granddaughter of the Gale family.

She, a completely unrelated person, actually wanted to steal everything from others ...

Emily turned around and left. Wendy wanted to catch up.

However, Emily's despondent appearance made her feel very bored.

Hunter was still in the hall. It was rare for him to treat her so gently today. Now, she wished she could return to him immediately.

Wendy took out her phone and dialed a number without being noticed.

"Emily has come to City L. Now, she is living in the Gale's. Think of a way. I'm afraid we can't hide this."

"Or, why don't we ... kill her?"

...

Emily walked by the lake and sat under the shade of a tree.

She looked at the surface of the lake and felt a little upset.

Her mind was a blank. She didn't know what she was thinking. She just looked at the calm lake and was dumbfounded.

After sitting alone for an unknown stretch of time, Emily heaved a sigh of relief and stood up again.

Since she was wrong, there was no need to prove anything else.

Wendy was the granddaughter of Patriarch Gale. Although Emily did not have a good impression of that bad woman, at least Wendy did not lie to Patriarch Gale.

As long as Patriarch Gale wasn't tricked, that was enough. She didn't have to worry too much.

Just as she turned around and was about to return to the main room, her stomach suddenly felt unwell.

Emily covered her lips and endured for a long time. But she finally couldn't endure it. She supported the tree trunk and retched.

Emily vomited.

How uncomfortable! The most terrifying thing was why was this feeling of retching so... familiar?

"What's wrong with you?"

A woman walked over from behind and came to Emily's side, patting her back.

Emily finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the woman, "Thank ... you."

But the woman stared at her face in surprise.

"You..." How could this be? She seemed to see someone she had known for many years!

Lottie gently shook her head. Then she looked at Emily again and suddenly remembered that she was only an eighteen or nineteen year old girl.

At this age, she was naturally not her old friend.

Moreover, her old friend had already been dead.

"You ...

know me?" Emily gently pressed down on her chest and finally felt better.

Lottie shook her head. As the general manager of the Gale Group, she had long since learned to hide her thoughts.

The shock just now had been gone.

She said indifferently, "What's wrong with you? Are you pregnant with vomiting like this?"

Pregnant!

This word frightened Emily and her face turned pale.

"Impossible!" She hurriedly shook her head. Her reaction was indescribably strange.

Lottie narrowed her eyes and looked at Emily. She was sure that there was not such a maid in their Gale family.

She would definitely not forget it if this face had ever appeared in the Gale family before.

"Who are you? Why are you in our house? Are you here as a guest?"

"I came with Mr. Hunter." Emily still hasn't recovered from the shock and fear brought by the word "pregnant".

"Mr. Hunter? You mean, Mr. Hunter from Bentson City?"

Lottie had heard that Hunter was coming. But she didn't expect that he would arrive today.

"Where is he? I am just about to visit him."

She looked at Emily again and was a little puzzled, "You ... are Mr. Hunter's girlfriend?"

"No!" Emily denied it more quickly, as if she was afraid that Lottie would misunderstand her.

Perhaps realizing that her reaction was a little too much, Emily smiled faintly at her, easing the awkwardness. "I just dropped in with him to see my sister."

"Your sister?"

"Wendy."

When Lottie and Emily walked into the hall together, Hunter was still chatting with Patriarch Gale and Joseph.

Wendy sat beside Hunter.

Although there was still some distance between them, it was not hard to tell there was something special between Wendy and Hunter from how she behaved.

"Mr. Hunter has indeed come."

Lottie glanced at Wendy, and then turned to look at Emily beside her.

Afterwards, she smiled conventionally and walked towards Hunter.

"I have heard from Joseph that Mr. Hunter would come. I didn't expect that you would come today. We don't have time to prepare properly to welcome you. Please don't take offense." "Madam Gale is too serious." Hunter stood up and shook hands with Lottie, who was walking in front of him.

The man Lottie married was not a Gale himself, he only married into the Gale family. So, the older ones usually called her Ms. Gale, and the younger ones called her Madam Gale. Lottie smiled and said warmly, "Mr. Hunter, please sit down."

They sat down, and Lottie sat beside Joseph.

Seeing that Emily had also returned, Patriarch Gale hurriedly greeted, "Emily, come and sit down beside me."

Wendy glared at Emily fiercely. However, she could not say anything now in public.

She could only completely hide her hatred in her heart.

Emily was still so clever and sat down beside Patriarch Gale without saying anything.

Lottie looked at Wendy and Hunter thoughtfully.

"Wendy, you and Mr. Hunter ... know each other?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
