“Have a seat.” Emily smiled at him, but he just stood there frozen, as if he didn’t know who she was so she had no choice but to introduce herself, “I’m Emily. Judging from your expression you don’t remember me huh?”
Lucas was stunned by how beautiful your smile was then suddenly he realised what she just said. Emily? She was Emily?. Lucas furrowed his brow subconsciously. He was Lily’s cousin on Roseline’s side of the family, so naturally he had seen Emily before. The Youngs were a very well to do family and even though they were not as well the as the Lus, they were still one of the top families.
This sort of family would never have allowed their daughter to marry into the Petrovs. But Roseline was an illegitimate daughter of the Youngs, so on the contrary, she had married up.
Lucas was a legitimate hire of the Youngs, so by right, these two should not have had any dealings with one another. But Roseline was very good at gaining other’s favour so even though she was born in such despised circumstances she made sure to make herself as small and humble as possible in front of the Youngs.
Lily was also an excellent sweet talker, always calling Lucas her cousin like she was calling an elder brother, and since Lucas didn’t have a younger sister, he was more than happy to treat her like a real younger sister since she always seemed so lovely.
Lucas had heard many stories from Lily about how Emily always bullied her since they were young, and he had seen her from afar several times and thought that this girl was always very quiet and very rude. But this time she seemed like a completely different person!
Lucas had a curious look on his face — he worked for the police and was extra wary when he came across something suspicious it was just part and parcel of his job, “So it’s you…..”.
His attitude quickly turned cold and formal, “Where’s my aunt? And Lily?”.
Emily poured him a cup of tea. The entire living room only had two of them, and it was very quiet. Emily replied, “They suddenly have something on, so they left me here to entertain you. Well, Inspector Lucas, the Lus send two murder suspects to your station last night, right?”
The women she mentioned his work, Lucas immediately put our face guard and his eyes became alert, “That case involves several parties and is in the midst of investigation why do you ask?”
Emily smiled, “Don’t be so nervous.” She took a sip of tea and continued with ease, “Their ugly deeds were uncovered last night because I overheard then talking about what they did, and I exposed then in front of everyone. Auntie Lu didn’t let me go to the police station in order to protect me, but I thought I should let you know.”
Lucas’s sharp features suddenly turned serious, “You mean heard it with your own ears?”
Emily nodded, but Lucas laughed coldly in reply, “I don’t understand why they would suddenly talk about their crimes, and then you happened to overhere it? What is even more puzzling is why the Lus would hide you away when you are supposedly the main witness.”
“That’s because……. they were going to rape me when it happened!” Emily’s calm voice shocked Lucas, so she smiled and said, “They didn’t get their way. To protect my reputation, I will not testify. Since you’ve found the body it doesn’t matter whether I testify or not. The bigger problem is, why did the two men choose me as their victim?”
A light brightly flashed through her eyes, “This is why Auntie called you over today. If she needed someone to shut those two up, you’d be the right person to call. Lucas immediately understood what she was implying, “Are you trying to say my aunt hired them to harm you?”
He snorted when Emily nodded her head in response, thinking that this girl was indeed the way his aunt had described — a compulsive liar!
“Tell me, why do you think my aunt would do such a thing? Besides, the two men have plenty of money and influence, what would my aunt bribe them with?”
Emily sighed quality, “Of course, my aunt has nothing to offer them, but what about my lovely sister? If money doesn’t work, what about sex?”
“Utter nonsense!” Lucas stood up with the deep frown on his face, disagreeing with Emily, “Miss Emily, I know you have issues with my aunt, after all it is difficult for many children to accept a stepmother. But Lily is only seventeen! As her elder sister how would you say something like that?”. What does she mean by using sex, he thought to himself. Does Emily think that Lily could be so scheming at such a young age that she’s learnt how to to use her body to exchange for what she wants?
Emily merely blinked — she had anticipated that Lucas would be unhappy to hear any of this.
“You can go and interrogate those two and see if I’m telling the truth or not. They’re currently stationed at your didn’t at your station, right?”
“You…..” Lucas hesitated.
“Since you hesitated, it means that subconsciously you do believe my words, but because you are so attached to Lily, your first reaction is to doubt me. I have to say your army training makes you have a pretty accurate intuition……….” Emily Was a smiling as she said this, and even thought it was a compliment, It’s sounded more like sarcasm!
Lucas forward his eyebrows even harder. He didn’t think that Emily would accuse anyone, but then he also refused to believe that Lily was that sort of person! He decided not to continue the conversation and turn to leave.
“Wait up!” Emily caught out to him. Lucas ignored her and continued walking. He was already prejudiced against Emily, so he wasn’t going to listen to her tell tall tales. But He was useful to Emily and there was no way she was going to let him leave just like that.
“Inspector Lucas, regarding the murder Guess involving a headless female corpse that happened a month ago — no leads yet, right?”
