Chapter 170: Siamese Twins
Yet, what else could Emmeline do, but make a graceful exit before she found herself ostracized further?
"Yes, my cousin is a very fortunate woman indeed," Emmeline said. "Excuse me, I must go and powder my nose."
Her make-up was impeccable, but who was going to say otherwise? She had other people to see, and other people to talk to. Amelia may have sunk her claws into this group of women, but there were plenty of others who didn’t know any better.
Emmeline made a move to leave, but never would she expect Amelia to trail after her casually, like a foul smell she couldn’t shake.
’What was her problem?’ Emmeline hurried her footsteps, but she found herself unable to shake Amelia.
She didn’t realize that Amelia decided that it would be in her best interests to shadow Emmeline, at least until she could dump her back to her grandfather for babysitting duty.
It was simply easier to nip Emmeline’s efforts to take credit in the bud by making it impossible to speak, instead of trying to correct all the possible misconceptions that would arise from her shooting her mouth to unsuspecting guests.
Unfortunately, this method also meant that she had to spend more time with Emmeline. At least Emmeline seemed just as pleased with this turn of events.
Good. Amelia’s face twisted into a grimace. If she was suffering, she didn’t want Emmeline to get off scot-free either.
