Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 74

Emily lifted the cup up and took a shallow taste of the fragrant tea.

 

While being gazed by so many people, yet Emily didn't seem even a little bit uncomfortable.

 

"Emily Gale, what exactly do you mean?” Snowy was always the most impatient one.

 

Snowy thought, “So many people are waiting for her explanation. And how come she doesn't even take it seriously?”

 

“There's no point. Do I have to explain in the face of lies?”

 

Emily put down the cup, hooked her lips, and smiled, “Shouldn't the one who brings out a charge need to present relative evidence as well these days? If she said that I had kicked her out, she would have to show the proof."

 

“Otherwise, I'll have to explain every time if someone comes to make a slanderous remark against me. I surely don’t have so much time.”

 

What Emily had said was reasonable. However, did she mean that Rosy had slandered her by saying so?

 

Rosy, however, did not get angry and just whispered, “It’s not like that at all. It's me who didn't want to hinder Miss Gale from appreciating the bag. That's why I dared not try on the shoes and hurriedly walked out.”

 

She looked at Emily with a smile, looking somewhat uneasy and fearful.

 

"I'm sorry, Miss Gale. It's all a misunderstanding. And it's my fault.’

 

"Rosy! You've been bullied and you are admitting that you were wrong! Since when had the children from the Jackson family been bullied like this?”

 

It was so infuriating to the extreme! How could Rosy Jackson endure it?

 

"Emily Gale, I want you to apologize to Rosy!”

 

But Emily shrugged, "I didn't do anything wrong. So why should I apologize?"

 

Moreover, she took out her phone, tapped the recording button, and placed it on the table.

 

As she fixed her indifferent gaze on Rosy, suddenly, the look in her eyes was cold.

 

"Come on. Tell me exactly what I did to you at that time. I'm a person who always deals with things truthfully. Since you said that I had bullied you, you'd better make your words clear.

 

"Now I'll record what we will say. When the time comes, the police will investigate it. If what you said is a lie, then you probably can't escape from the slander charge.”

 

“Emily Gale, how dare you threaten me?" The look on Tabby's face went dark. She thought that Emily had crossed the line.

 

Sarah also felt that there was no need for them to make such a big scene.

 

She hurriedly whispered, “Emily, it's just a small matter. There's no need... "

 

"No, Aunt Sarah, I think it's quite necessary”

 

This time, Emily didn't compromise at all as she said, "Go ahead. When you're done, I'll see you at the police station.”

 

Rosy didn't expect that Emily could be so tough.

 

She thought, “All the people here are all surnamed Jackson. How come, Emily Gale, an outsider, has the guts to do this?”

 

“Could it be that she wouldn't care about the fact that the members from the Jackson family might murder her in the future?”

 

"Well? How come you dare not say anything? How did I have you kicked out of the store? You're going to make the details clear.”

 

Emily pushed the phone back in Rosy’s direction, smiling shallowly, "I'm waiting.”

 

Several tables of ladies, who sat on the surrounding tables, fixed their gazes on Rosy.

 

The Second Lady wanted to come over and stand up for her daughter, only to be persuaded back by the maids around her.

 

The children had to settle the quarrel between themselves. It was a family gathering tonight. If they did make a big scene, regardless of who was in the right or wrong, the elders who were involved would have to be blamed.

 

The situation just now was just like this with the Grand Lady, Sarah. When the Grand Master came over here, he first put the blame on Sarah without asking for the details first.

 

As the second madam looked at her daughter's aggrieved appearance, she couldn't be more painful.

 

But, the maid convinced her to go back.

 

She simply dared not make a spectacle of herself at such a big party.

 

Rosy didn't expect Emily to be so difficult to handle. She indeed found Emily's reckless and fearless appearance a headache!

 

"I, told you all. It was just a misunderstanding, I... "

 

"No, that's not what you just said.” Emily sneered.

 

"Emily, you've had enough! Did you have to force her?" Tabby pulled Rosy onto herself.

 

"Do you have to bully others like that?"

 

Rosy immediately hid behind her and dared not grunt anymore. Anyway, someone was standing up for her now.

 

Emily, however, leaned on the back of the chair and looked askance at her figure with a seemingly smile on her face.

 

"What would you do if you were defiled, Fourth Lady? I'm afraid that you probably will do a more desperate job than me."

 

"Besides, as long as she’s telling the truth, what does she have to be afraid of even at the police station? There's surveillance in the store. I can't cover up everything with one hand. Anyway, I am not capable of doing that yet.”

Everyone now looked at Rosy.

 

Emily's words did make sense. Even if Rosy wasn't a legitimate lady, she didn't have to be afraid of Emily to such an extent.

 

If she had been indeed bullied, she would just feel free to tell them the details.

 

Emily was just a young lady who hadn't married into the family yet. Moreover, the Gale family was a minor family. Rosy didn't have to be afraid of anything.

 

But Rosy dared not say it. Could it be that she did have slandered Emily?

 

"Rosy, as for what she did to you then, just tell us the details straight. We're here. What are you afraid of?"

 

"I... I was... at that time... " Rosy was still hiding behind Tabby and dared not say anything.

 

Of course Rosy dared not say anything! Anyway, Vanessa had done nothing but said a few words previously. In the end, she was directly involved in a lawsuit.

 

Now, Rosy dared not say anything untrue. Anyway, the bitch, Emily, was still recording her!

 

If Emily handed the recording to Liam White, Liam White would do something right away. And Rosy probably would have to take a lawsuit.

 

People by the side of Young Master Hunter dared to do anything they wanted.

 

With Vanessa being a forewarning, Rosy surely dared not say anything at all.

 

The reason why she had dared to say it was that she had assumed that Emily wouldn't dare to compete with her seriously in 

front of so many ladies from the Jackson family.

 

Now, Emily just wanted to be more serious with Rosy, making her lose her courage.

 

"It seems that she dares not lie now.”

 

Emily picked up the phone and smiled shallowly, "I hate this kind of woman who talks irresponsibly. She's simply more disgusting than a fly.”

 

Even Tabby and Snowy couldn't refute this statement.

 

They weren't afraid of Emily. But, Rosy dared not say a single word, which everyone could see clearly.

 

Rosy was actually spreading rumors. And they had trusted her so much just now.

 

"Hmph!" Tabby grunted coldly and pushed Rosy away behind her.

 

"There are some vacancies at the Second Auntie's side. Go over there."

 

The status among the ladies from the Jackson family was actually even higher than that of Sarah. Now that Tabby had let Rosy go, Rosy surely dared not stay here.

 

Rosy could only stare at Emily fiercely. After that, with tears in the corner of her eyes, she pitifully left her position and walked 

over to the next table where the Second Lady was sitting.

 

She was indeed kicked out amid everyone's gaze and surely was grievous.

 

But, she dared not say a single word to Tabby. Nor did she have the guts or qualifications to do so.

 

But she made up her mind that for the grievance that Emily had caused her today, she would never forget it!

 

She surely would have her revenge on Emily!

 

After Rosy left, Tabby sat back in her chair, looking gloomy constantly.

 

Originally, Snowy wanted to pick faults with Emily. But, all of a sudden, it seemed that she didn’t know how she should start.

 

It was all because of that fool named Rosy that Emily had won one round. But the next game hadn't even started yet.

 

For a while, the atmosphere seemed a bit stiff.

 

The maids began to have the dishes served one by one. And soon, the table was full of food.

 

But Snowy suddenly looked at Emily and smiled, “Miss Gale, I heard that the business of the Gale family has been a bit 

uneventful lately. So I'm afraid your family hasn't had such good food for a long time, right?”

 

What Snowy had said didn't take Emily's feelings into consideration at all.

 

She pointed at one of the dishes and said, “Send the onion snail over to Miss Gale and ask her to taste it. Speaking of these kinds of snails, you can't eat them outside. A plate of onion snails probably is equal to the turnover of the whole day at Gale Group, right?"

 

"But," she turned back again and looked at Emily with a seeming smile, "Miss Gale, do you know how to eat this kind of thing?"
