Chapter 1356 One Of Darrens Subordinates (1/2)

”Could she be one of Darren's subordinates?” In fact, Emily had woken up as soon as Lilian entered her bedroom. To be more exact, she hadn't been sleeping soundly at all.

Tim had mistakenly believed that his injection would work to sedate Emily. As a matter of fact, the drug did help calm her down, but it had no effect in helping her sleep peacefully.

Jacob remained quiet. Seeing that Emily wanted to sit up, he helped her up first. When he looked at her pale face, his heart ached for her, but he did not know how to express his concern for her.

Emily pointed to the desk and continued, ”She kept searching through your things.”

”She must have been searching for the document concerning Darren's arrest. I have spread intentional rumors outside recently. Darren must have decided to take some action!” Jacob said, stroking Emily's soft locks of hair. ”But I happened to disturb the maid's plans today, so she will not dare to be so presumptuous again. We shall keep an eye on her!”

”Shouldn't we fire her? She is a dangerous person to have here...” The thought that someone had violated the privacy of her room by rummaging through her things terrified Emily.

Jacob shook his head. ”She is here, and we know that. If we fire her, Darren would just plant a second spy in our house. It's better to keep her in sight and arrange a good show for Darren.”

Jacob made light of the matter on purpose, as he was afraid that Emily would become worried.

In fact, Darren was always wangling in the dark. This distressed both Jacob and Chuck.

Obviously, Jacob had acted in haste by spreading the news.

However, he could not have predicted that his reckless move would almost put Emily in danger again.

While Jacob and Emily were discussing Darren, the butler suddenly knocked on the door and entered. ”Young Master, there are business associates to deal with now. They are waiting for you downstairs.”

Jacob couldn't help frowning. He looked at Emily and pinched her thin face. ”I'll go to work first, and take you out for dinner later tonight, okay?”
