Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1600

"Wh--What did you just say?" Emma could not believe that those were the words coming from Jane. Though her father and uncle were in a feud, Emma was still a member of the Poole family.

'I am still Alex's cousin. His cousin! I was polite enough to say hi to her and she’s asking me to get away?’ she thought.

In the past seven to eight years, Emma had never spared a moment looking at Jane properly. No one knew better than Emma in the Poole family and all of Kidon City that Alex would never marry Jane. Jane was just nothing but a tool to him. Merely a tool.

Emma had mentioned to countless ladies of wealthy families in the elite community of Kidon City, saying,' Just wait and see! Someday my second cousin is going to dump that woman Jane. If my cousin and Lily can’t make things work, I will introduce him to you."

Those words were the reason why Emma managed to become the most powerful woman in Kidon City for a time. However, her cousin Alex had overpowered her father Axel's position in Kidon City, who had to back down to the point that he had to form an alliance with the Payne family from Star Island by supplying them with weapons. In the end, they could not even fend off Sebastian Ford from South City for three days.

Sebastian and Alex were blood brothers; if the two joined hands, the second branch of the Poole family would not survive. Axel desperately wanted to gain the support of Old Master Shaw, his teacher who retired in South City, but ever since Old Master Shaw found his daughter, he had really grown much older and no longer wanted to be involved in things that happened out there in the world.

Axel and his descendants were withering away. Emma had gotten Lily to come back from overseas with every possible method she had, in hopes that she could get closer to Alex with Lily's help and attempt to resolve the differences they had with the Poole family, but never had she imagined that Alex's love for Lily would fade.

'That b*tch Lily! She is just too dramatic! Ever since she came back into the country, she wouldn't even refrain at all and has crossed so many lines. She probably thinks that she is still under Alex's protection, but Lily is nothing without Alex! If it wasn't for my father, who protected her by sending her to Holden Payne, Lily might just be dead at the hands of Alex by now. In the end, this woman, Jane, is just lucky. Who knew that after four months, Alex could still manage to find her. Not to mention that the child in her belly is still there and her belly has already grown so much; it seems like she is going to turn the tables with her child!’ she thought.

Emma could tell how Alex felt about Jane from his expression, which was why she caught on to the

opportunity to suck up to Jane. She had thought that Jane would be grateful that Alex took her back and would see this as an opportunity to form connections with the Pooles, but she had not anticipated for Jane t o speak to her in such a manner.

"You...!" Emma was furious, but did not dare to speak. What she had wanted to say was, 'You are acting all high and mighty now, but be careful, Alex might just kick you out again once you give birth to that child in your belly!’

She mumbled to herself for a short while, before whining, "My sister-in-law, I am going to be your cousin-in-law. I never would have imagined that you would hate me so much. Did I do anything wrong?" i

Jane stared at Emma with a cold and stern expression. "Do you really think I wouldn't know?"

"Know what?"

"You saw that I was getting close with Sabrina and her friends. You are already jealous of her to begin with, and so you are scared that Alex might actually marry me, leaving you and your sister in the Poole family no place to survive once I team up with Sabrina. That's why you called Lily back from overseas in a hurry overnight, didn't you?"

"..." Emma did not respond. She did not know that Jane had figured her intentions out.
