Chapter 402 She Is A Menace To Me (1/2)

Meanwhile, Emily and Jacob were waiting at the door. When they saw Joan coming out, they were jumping to ask her questions, but Joan stopped them by shaking her head.

Emily's heart skipped a beat. She followed Joan quietly to the living room, and then couldn't help asking, ”Miss Joan, what do you think about my Beryl...”

”Beryl has a very sharp mind. Obviously, this incident has left a big scar on her mind. Now she is refusing to get close to anybody as a defense mechanism. It would take a lot of work to open her heart again,” Joan answered.

”So what can we do for her?” Emily bit her pale lips and continued, ”She's still so young...”

”Give her some time. You can try to bring her out of your house and let her play with the other kids. Remember not to force anything on her or be too hard on her. Otherwise, it will backfire on you. And I would advise against giving her medicines. After all, she's not in good health.”

”Okay, I see. Thank you, Miss Joan.”

Even after Joan had left, Emily couldn't shake off the sense of worry from her chest.

Jacob put his hands around her shoulders and said in a soft voice, ”Don't worry too much, Emily. We will find a way to bring our Beryl back. At least we've found her and she's safe now.”

”Yes, you're right,” Emily replied, as she calmed her nerves. She suddenly remembered what she wanted to talk to Jacob about and asked, ”What about the people from the Tao clan?”

”You can rest assured, I'll handle that,” Jacob comforted.

”No, I want to send Tina to hell with my own hands.”

Emily narrowed her eyes with determination.

If she had fulfilled her plan earlier than expected, Tina would not have gotten the chance to hurt Beryl. Now Emily was hell-bent on making Tina pay for her vicious actions.
