Chapter 74 - 74: 74: A Dinner Party at Night

Watching Emily Walker head towards the door of the shop, Baron Stuart did not chase after her; he just stood still in place.

It wasn’t until a cell phone ringtone rang that Baron Stuart came back to his senses and took out his cell phone to check the caller ID.

Calming his emotions, Baron Stuart answered the phone, his voice cold and devoid of warmth, “What’s the matter?”

“Young Master, just now Old Master called from Siberia, saying that there is a dinner with the Walker Group tonight, and asks that you attend tonight.” Clayton Howard’s calm voice came through the phone.

Baron Stuart frowned slightly at the news, “Walker Group? What dinner party?” “Master says it’s just a simple meal, and Madam and Lady will also attend.”

“What time?”

“7:30 PM.”

“Understood.”

Baron Stuart hung up the telephone impatiently, very dissatisfied with Zachary Stuart’s arrangements every time.

With a heavy heart, Emily left the Milk Tea Shop and walked aimlessly down the street, feeling weighed down. Perhaps having walked too long, she began to tire and eventually entered a park.

On this sweltering summer day, the park was still full of people, perhaps due to it being the weekend. Some were sitting under willow trees to enjoy the shade, while others were chatting happily under the greenery.

After entering, Emily also found a shady spot to sit down but wasn’t in the mood to enjoy the sights. She just sadly sat on the wooden chair as each minute and every second passed by, engulfed in her thoughts, unable to get out of them even as the sky turned red with sunset.

Not until she noticed someone sitting next to her did she come back to her senses, hesitantly raised her head, and looked at the person sitting beside her.

Seeing the panting man, she didn’t pay him any attention but moved her body away from him.

The man seemed to notice her as well, and while panting, he looked at her with his captivating peach blossom eyes. Upon seeing her deliberately avoiding him, he paused, puzzled.

Had his charm decreased? Usually, women would eagerly throw themselves at him. But this woman was different, she was avoiding him like the plague.

Looking towards the park entrance, he noticed three or four men in black suits running in, searching around frantically. Seeing this, the panting man immediately panicked.

Seeing the panting man beside her, Emily got up and wanted to distance herself from this stranger.

But just as she stood up, a tall figure appeared before her, blocking her way.

Shocked, Emily wondered if she had encountered a pervert since the park was at evening hours.

However, just as she was about to question the man in front of her, he suddenly lunged at her and wrapped his double arms tightly around her!

This embrace completely frightened Emily, and she instinctively tried to struggle, “You–”

“Shh…” Before she could speak, the man was the first to whisper into her ear, “Miss, please help me, I’m being chased by someone. They are right in front of you..”
