Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 690

The moment Emily opened her eyes, she saw that there was no one else in the bedroom, and she was the only one lying on the bed.

For a moment, Emily remained on the bed and quietly listened to see if there was anyone outside. When Emily heard nothing, she thought there should be no one outside the door, so she immediately got out of bed and quietly ran to the door.

After Emily opened the door, she saw that there was no one outside the room. Immediately, she knew it was a good opportunity, so she lowered her body and sneaked out of the room.

At that moment, there was not even a single person on the first floor, and it was as if she was blessed by the Gods!

Overjoyed, Emily rushed towards the front door.

"Miss Emily!"

All of a sudden, a servant appeared from the corner with breakfast in her hand. Surprised, she asked, "Why did you come down, Miss Emily? I was just about to head upstairs and serve you breakfast."

Why was she so unlucky?

In fact, Emily was about to reach the front door, but she still ended up being noticed by her servant.

Then, Emily slightly narrowed her eyes and looked around. There was only one servant, so if Emily were to knock the servant out when the servant was unprepared, there would still be a chance for Emily to escape.

As soon as Emily had the idea, she did it.

Hurriedly, she seized the opportunity and picked up a vase. However, as she was about to smash the servant, the servant suddenly turned around.

"Bam!"

Frightened, the vase in Emily's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

It was an embarrassing moment.

Not only did Emily fail to smash the vase on the servant, but she was even caught red-handed!

Suddenly, Emily couldn't even utter a single word, and she felt her brain buzzing.

At that moment, the servant looked at Emily and asked, "Miss Emily, were you trying to attack me just now?"

Instantly, Emily waved her hand. "Of course not!"

"Then why did you grab the vase for?" "It was... because the vase seemed to be dirty, and I want to clean it up."

Well, instead of being clean, it was now shattered into pieces.

"That is an antique blue and white porcelain that I bought years ago." Suddenly, Emily heard Lennon's low and mellow's voice, and the sound of his slow but heavy footsteps came from the stairs. As Emily looked up, she knew she was doomed.

It turned out that Lennon was at home!

In fact, Emily even had a vain hope of sneaking out.

"I had spent five million to buy it from an auction a few years ago, but you've just caused it to shatter into pieces. How are you going to compensate me?" ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Then, Lennon walked straight to Emily and said nonchalantly, "The price of this vase has increased a lot in the past few years. Since we know each other, I'll give you a discount. Pay me three million, and I'll forget about this matter."

"Three million? Lennon, you b*stard, why don't you go and rob instead?"

It was unbelievable that a vase like that was actually worth three million.

Not to mention three million, Emily didn't even have three dollars at that moment!

"It's you who are ignorant, and it's not because the vase is worthless." As if Lennon had guessed what Emily was thinking, he continued coldly, "This is an antique vase, which is why it's valuable. Even if I were to sell you off, I don't you would be worth that much money."

D*mn it!

Those words made Emily rage. "Fine, I'll pay you the money. Let me go, and I'll get my father to transfer you the money!"

"Well, that's your father's money, and he was not the one who broke my vase. Why should I take his money?"

"Y-You are... this is just..."

Furious, Emily couldn't even utter a single word. Angrily, Emily stared at Lennon with a pair of beautiful eyes and placed her hands on her hips. In fact, she was so angry that she was about to curse, "You b*stard! You don't even want me to compensate you. In fact, you just want to keep me

locked in this house! Lennon, you son of a b*tch! Once I get out of here, I'll definitely tell my father about all that you had done to me!"

After Lennon glanced at Emily, he walked past her and headed straight to the living room. Gracefully, he sat down and uttered, "Well, I've entertained you and fed you well. So, I guess I had done a great job." "Entertained me? What a joke. It is obvious that you've kidnapped me!"

Since the moment Emily was kidnapped out of the hospital by Lennon's men, she had been locked up in his villa. Although she had thought of ways to escape, she failed to succeed every time.

The villa was surrounded by Lennon's bodyguards, and it was well protected. Even if Emily did manage to escape, she wouldn't have been able to run farther than 100 meters.

As Lennon looked at Emily, he raised his eyebrows. "Have you ever seen such a kind-hearted kidnapper?"

Immediately, Emily's face turned red because she had indeed been living a comfortable life. However, even when Emily was well fed and even had servants to serve her, she had no freedom at all.

As a matter of fact, Lennon did not even allow her to use her phone.

"Lennon, why are you keeping me locked in this place? What the h*ll are you trying to do?" With a sigh, Emily asked.

"I want you to follow me back to Mathines in three days."

"Why not now?"

"Oh, you want to leave now?" As Lennon's gaze fell on Emily, he uttered, "It's fine if you want to leave now. You can go and pack your things, and well leave immediately."

"Ahem, that's not what I meant. What I meant was, why do you want to leave after three days? Do you have anything here that needs to be done?"

"I need to meet someone later for a business meeting. Once I'm done with the meeting, we can leave."

"Oh." After Emily heard that, she nodded. "You could leave for Mathines on your own after the meeting then. I'm not be leaving with you."

"It's not up to you to decide that!"

"Well, why don't you give it a try and see if I could decide for myself then!" Coldly, Emily sneered. "Although I can't beat you up, and I'm not as strong as you, I'm not a pushover either. I won't allow myself to be bullied!"

Silently, Lennon stared at Emily with a pair of brown eyes. As a mixed- blood, Lennon had profound features. His brow bones were especially prominent, and his gaze was particularly sharp.

With that sharp gaze, Emily's hair started to stand on end.

"Emily, be a good girl and listen to me. Don't test my patience." Although Lennon was seated, his imposing manner was overpowering Emily. "You're my fiancee. You've had enough freedom after this all these years. Come back with me, and we shall get married."

"I don't want to marry you!" Instinctively, Emily resisted. "I don't even like you!"

It was an engagement that had been arranged by Emily's and Lennon's father many years back.

In fact, Emily could not believe that her father, who had always doted on her, would have her to be engaged to someone else before she was even born.

It was simply unreasonable.

Initially, Lennon frowned, but in the end, he returned to his calm expression. "I don't need you to like me. Don't you try to mess around with me either. We should have been married three years ago, but you said that you didn't want to get married yet, so I respected your decisions and let you go and enjoy your life. Now that you've broken up with Kobi, you shall return to my side."

Shocked, Emily's eyes widened. "Who told you that I broke up with Kobi?"

"Your father."

Taken aback by that answer, Emily was speechless.

At that moment, Emily decided that she would question her father ask him why did he casually tell others about her private matters!

Meanwhile, the bodyguards outside came in and whispered a few words in Lennon's ear. Then, Lennon nodded and waved his hand to gather his servants. "Take Miss Emily upstairs to rest. Without my permission, she will not be allowed to come down."

"Yes, sir."

The two servants answered and stood on both Emily's sides as they brought her upstairs.

Although Emily tried to struggle, it was useless. Then, she tried to scream, but it was still useless. In the end, Emily yelled in anger.

After a while, the gate of the villa opened, and two cars parked in front of the yard. Then, Lennon got up and went to welcome the guests.

As the car door opened, Camden got out of the car. It was seen that Camden's face was slightly dark, and he was obviously upset. With his sharp eyes, Camden looked into the car and yelled, "Get out!"

The person in the car remained silent, and there was no movement at all.

Curious, Lennon raised his eyebrows. After so many years, Lennon knew Camden well. Although Camden was heartless, and his thoughts were unfathomable, he was never one who would ever get angry.

But now, Camden was furious. Who was the one who made him upset?

Suddenly, there was a movement on the other side of the car door, and a woman's leg reached out of the car...
