Chapter 171: Upsetting
James Brown and Emily Lopez entered the neighborhood together. The security guards were completely used to seeing James and Emily together, although sometimes it was Gina, but they couldn’t tell the twin sisters apart and thought they were the same person. As for Robert Brown, they were quite envious; everyone knew Gina was a typical beauty with both wealth and looks in this neighborhood, and marrying her would truly be hitting both jackpots.
Seeing Emily holding James’ arm didn’t lead them to think she was scared from watching a horror movie, but rather that they were arm in arm, hinting at a close relationship.
Soon after they walked in, they heard the rapid sound of high heels clacking against the ground—a sound both James and Emily were very familiar with as it was Gina’s way of walking.
They both stopped, turned around, and saw Gina hurrying over. She arrived in front of them with an ugly expression, biting her teeth, and asked, "What’s going on with you two?"
Only then did Emily realize that she was holding James’ arm as if entwined, and immediately, like being stung by a wasp, withdrew her hand rapidly, giving Gina a grin and said, "Sis, it’s not what you think."
James suddenly felt a headache coming on; that phrase sounded too familiar. Moreover, Emily’s reaction practically screamed cover-up, which was sure to make Gina even more suspicious.
Sure enough, Gina looked even uglier now, seething as she said, "James Brown, good for you."
James, however, didn’t mind. He simply smiled lightly, "Emily and I just watched a horror movie, and she was scared, that’s why she was holding onto me."
"Watching a horror movie?" Gina sneered, "That’s a fine excuse you’ve got there. It’s broad daylight. Do you think after watching a horror movie, people just hold on to each other like that?"
Emily then snapped back to her senses and glared, "Have you ever watched a horror movie?"
"Even if I haven’t, I can imagine. Even if you’re scared, you wouldn’t just grab a man’s arm in the daytime, would you?"
