Chapter 419: Sudden Revenge 2
Emily Walker furrowed her brow, feeling even more puzzled now.
Upon further thought, he seemed to be the elderly man who had supported her at the front door of that French restaurant previously. So, he was Sister Rylee’s father?
Emily took a careful look at the elderly man. Was it because Rylee resembled her mother? Why didn’t she feel any resemblance between him and Rylee?
“Were you the one who helped me at the restaurant doorway?” Emily looked at him, cautiously asking.
Upon hearing this, the old man smiled and said, “Miss Emily, you indeed have a good memory. I didn’t expect that you’re a friend of our Rylee.”
Seeing the old man’s kindly smile, Emily also gave a faint smile.
“Miss Emily, could I trouble you with something?” the elderly man started, his expression somewhat troubled.
Emily was puzzled for a moment, feeling that something was off.
She didn’t know Rylee’s father; why would he suddenly come looking for her? And he needed her help with something?
“What is it?” Emily stared at him, asking.
The elderly man gave a faint smile, and his face darkened a bit. “Well, Rylee hasn’t been in a good mood lately. I know she’s been getting along well with you recently. Can you help me persuade her?”
Upon hearing this, Emily was taken aback. Sister Rylee in a bad mood?
“What happened to her?” Actually, Emily didn’t have any deep feelings for Rosanne Nichols. It was through Antonio Bailey’s connection that she and Rosanne had grown closer.
However, what confused her was that it should be Sister Carter, right? They had been friends for more than ten years.
“She argued with her fiancé and is now drinking in the private room. No matter how much I try to persuade her, she won’t listen. I’m hoping you could help persuade her.” The elderly man said, his expression darkening.
However, the more Emily listened, the more she felt that something was off.
But after thinking carefully, she couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was wrong.
If it was due to a relationship argument, wouldn’t it be better to ask Rylee’s fiancé to come and handle it? Why ask her?
Although they had been getting along well recently, at such times, it should either be Sister Carter or Rylee’s fiancé, right?
However, hearing that Rosanne Nichols was drinking in a bad mood, Emily felt a little worried for her friend.
So she asked, “Where is she?”
“She’s in the private room over there!” Upon hearing this, the old man seemed somewhat eager for Emily to go over quickly.
Emily raised her gaze, looking in the direction he was pointing, then hesitated for a moment before turning to the elderly man. “There are people waiting for me in the private room. I’ll go greet them first before coming over.”
Baron Stuart’s mother and Bella Stuart were still waiting for her in the private room. She was worried they would be concerned if they couldn’t see her and decided to go greet them first.
As she turned to leave, the elderly man hurriedly said, “Madam Foster and Lady Stuart? I’ve already spoken to them.”
Already spoken to them?
Emily looked at the old man before her, puzzled and frowning.
He knew about Bella and Baron Stuart’s mother being here?
“Miss Emily, it will only take a few minutes of your time. Please help me persuade Rylee. She—” The elderly man’s gaze fell on Emily’s slightly protruding belly and suddenly said, “She’s pregnant. If she keeps drinking, the child in her belly will be gone!”
The elderly man’s sudden words left Emily staring wide-eyed in shock!
