When Ember returned to the villa, the sky had already darkened and it was a little cold as it was autumn now. Since she wasn't feeling well, she couldn't help coughing when being blown by the wind.
Hazel immediately patted her back and said, "Madam, please hurry up and enter the house."
Ember nodded and quickened her pace.
Oscar stood at the entrance and greeted her with a smile, "Madam, you're back!"
He opened the door and let them in. Then, he cast a glance at the darkness when he spotted a few figures flashing past. Nevertheless, he calmly withdrew his gaze and closed the door.
Ember went straight upstairs to rest. Suddenly, Oscar seemed to have thought of something and immediately chased after her. "Madam!"
"Is there anything else, Oscar?" Ember stood on the stairs and turned to ask.
Oscar avoided her gaze and said, "The kitchen has made some soup. Madam, why don't you have some before taking a rest..."
"No, I'm not hungry." Ember refused faintly and went straight upstairs.
Seeing that, Oscar immediately followed after her.
They went up to the first floor. Right then, the door of the study was opened and a woman in her 30s, dressed in a dress, came out.
The woman didn't seem to have expected the return of Ember, to which she was stunned. Quickly, she retreated in a panic, lowering her eyes and not daring to look at Ember.
However, Ember just stared at her face carefully for a while and then looked away.
This was what Oscar was afraid of happening. Just now, he wanted to keep Ember in the restaurant downstairs so that he could deal with it. He didn't expect that they would meet face to face so soon.
Oscar strode up and was about to say something when Ember ordered coldly, "Oscar, it's getting late. Get the driver to send this lady away and remind him to drive carefully."
Hearing that, Oscar was astonished, but he immediately replied, "Yes, Madam."
Apparently, the woman was surprised too that Ember just let her go like that with a calm look, as if nothing had happened. Just as she was dumbfounded, Oscar grabbed her by the arm and said, "Miss Kinsey, this way."
The woman then followed him down the stairs.
Just then, the door opened again and Isai stood at the door with his eyes fixed on Ember.
Nevertheless, she ignored him and walked to her bedroom, but Isai quickly grabbed her by the arms and pulled her into the study. The door was then slammed shut in front of Hazel, who was so scared that she almost wanted to knock on the door, but dared not. Eventually, she could only wait outside.
She decided that if something happened, she would immediately call Stanley...
In the study, Ember, who was dragged in, frowned and asked, "What do you want?"
Isai looked her up and down. "You look better than this morning. Are you that happy to see Stanley?"
Surprised, Ember looked up at him. "You know that Stanley is back?"
"Why would you ask such a stupid question?" Isai laughed out loud. "I've always known about his movements in the past few years, not to mention that he had returned."
Ember's expression changed drastically when she heard his words. "You've always known that Stanley isn't dead, and yet, you didn't tell me? Isai, why did you do this?"
