Chapter 1043 Four Children (1/2)

How could she, Emily, possibly think that she could tell her what to do?

”Louis?”

Michelle walked up to Louis because she thought that she had Jacob's backing; her eyes were overflowing with contempt. She stood up straight in front of Louis, aggressively glaring at him.

She said, ”I've never heard of an elder brother acting as a dancing partner for his sister. The reason why you'd do that for Emily must be because you are embarrassed.

It was true that guests at evening parties usually brought their own partners. But they seldom came with their siblings. Therefore, it was quite reasonable for Michelle to mock them for that. She was echoing the sentiments of the crowd.

”Brother...”

Emily felt embarrassed, and as the blood in her veins pumped faster, it carried intense pain all over her body. She pulled urgently at Louis's sleeve and whispered to him, ”I don't want to stay here. Let's go somewhere else.”

”I think you forgot something.”

Louis chuckled and helped Emily put on the coat that had slipped off her shoulders. He rested his hands reassuringly on her shoulders.

Emily was confused but she sat down as he asked.

She kept her eyes on the floor and remained silent.

Louis glared straight at Michelle with anger and hatred blazing in his eyes as he said, ”Tonight's charity party is being hosted by us, so you can leave if you are not comfortable staying here. I'm sure Jacob won't object to that.”

His cold and sharp-edged words left Michelle speechless.

Jacob saw Michelle looking at him desperately, wanting to ask him for help. But he just chuckled and did nothing.
