Chapter 340 Like a Family

After finishing the words, Tiffany fixed her eyes on Emmett while waiting for Faye's answer, afraid she

would miss any clues.

Faye didn't hesitate at all. She replied blandly right after Tiffany finished the words, "We're a family,

mom. That's what I should do."

Tiffany then asked, "How did Emmett have your phone number?"

Faye answered, "Lance gave it to him."

Tiffany looked complicated when she heard Faye's answer. Several seconds later, she chuckled and

said, "Faye, thank you and Colin for helping Helen today. I will treat you to a meal when I'm free."

Faye replied, "Mom, you're welcome."

Tiffany ended the call and stared at Emmett quietly.

Emmett sniffed and questioned her loudly, "Did I lie to you?"

Tiffany was lost for words.

When she was trying to find an out, she received Lance's call.

Glancing at the caller ID, Tiffany swiped to answer the call, "Lance."

Lance asked, "Madame Farrell, have your man contacted you?"

Tiffany replied, "Yep."

Lance heaved a sigh at the other end of the phone and continued, "Please don't blame me for asking

him to turn to Colin for help. You should know it. Though you've asked me to take care of him, Hank

doesn't like him. I have no choice."

Tiffany said in a bland voice, from which Lance could not tell if she was angry or not, "Okay. I see."

Tiffany felt tired after a series of own goals.

After ending Lance's call, Tiffany waved her hand at the leading man and said, "Loosen him."

The man raised his brows and asked, "Seriously?"

Tiffany confirmed, "There's nothing wrong with him."

The man asked, "Are you sure?"

Tiffany replied impatiently, "I'm sure."

Getting her confirmation, the man walked to Emmett, stood behind him, and untied him. He curled up

his lips into a scornful smile and said in a voice that could only be heard by them two, "No wonder you

looked so composed just now. Turns out you've prepared for it."

Emmett didn't respond to his words, acting as if he didn't hear them.

After the man untied the rope, Emmett stood up, strode to Tiffany, gritted his teeth, and stood before

her silently, his eyes red.

Tiffany frowned and then said in a comforting voice, "Let's talk after going back."

At the same time...

In Fennth Community...

Sitting opposite Colin and Faye, Lance was drinking a cup of tea leisurely.

Colin asked teasingly, "Aren't you worried about your younger brother?"

Lance blew the tea in the clay teacup, gulped down half of the tea, and said, "He's very smart. He won't

die. Maybe he can even get a house after this."

Colin smiled jokingly. He tilted his head to look at Faye, reached up to wrap his arm around Faye's

waist, and pulled her into his arms.

Faye wasn't disturbed at all. With a frown, she looked at Lance and asked, "What the heck is going

on?"

Lance raised his eyes. Realizing that Faye was angry, he coughed and explained, pretending to be © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

innocent, "You can't blame me for this. Emmett came up with this bad idea."

Faye said, "Go on."

Lance continued, "Last time, in the Farrells' Mansion, you asked him to leave the city to distance

himself away from this, but he was worried that Tiffany would suspect you if he left the city. Therefore,

he came up with today's show."

Tiffany was not a fool. On the night before New Year's Eve, Blaine caught her at the scene shortly after

she came out to date Emmett. So, of course, she would suspect that Emmett might have something to

do with it.

Though they hadn't expected that Blaine would be involved in this, since it had happened, they could

only take advantage of it.

Faye remained silent after hearing Lance's words. After a long while, she asked, "Why didn't you inform

me in advance.?"

Lance raised his hand to scratch his hair and replied, "At the beginning, we weren't sure if this would

work. If it doesn't work or if Tiffany won't investigate Emmett, it will only worry you if we tell you in

advance. It's the New Year after all."

Faye said, "You must report to me in advance no matter what you plan to do later. Don't make

decisions yourself."

Lance replied, "Roger. No problem."

It sounded like an ordinary conversation, but only Faye and Lance themselves knew the emotions it

contained.

They had gone through that hard time together. Though they had no blood relation, they treated each

other like a family.

As for Emmett, he had been silent after getting into Tiffany's car, his jaw tightening.

Tiffany was driving the car. Feeling sorry for Emmett, she broke the silence, "Emmett, let's talk."

Emmett replied, "I don't want to talk about anything now."

Tiffany tightened her grip on the steering wheel and said with a chuckle, "You're always so stubborn."

Emmett turned his head to look out of the window. When seeing the reflection of his swollen face on

the glass, he felt so annoyed.

Tiffany had no idea about what Emmett was thinking. She thought he was throwing a tantrum like a kid.

She cleared her throat and said, "A community project was completed several days ago. It's a good

location. I'll take you there to select a house later..."
