Chapter 491: Why Did You Get Me Here?

Emmett's eyes were red as he was burning with anger. After a long while, tears streamed down his
face.

He shook his head hard to shake all those tears away.

When he turned to glare at Atwood, he was all cool and aloof again.

Atwood froze there. He was like a puppet cut off from its strings. His arms were dangling, and his eyes
drifted out of focus.

...

Emmett sneered, "You said you didn't like Elaine because her family was poor. But in fact, you were
just afraid that I would know about the whole thing! Elaine's father did that because he needed to raise
money to pay her mother's medical bills. What about you? Do you have any proper reasons? Tell me a
good reason if you have one! Let me sympathize with you and pity you! I know you can't! You made
that beautiful woman your wife, but you didn't give her your love. She had to live in loneliness every
day, but you still blamed her for seeing other men. It was all your fault, but you killed her! Don't worry.
You're my father, so I won't kill you. However, you won't see me again. We should live a separate life.
You don't need anyone in your world. All you need is yourself! "

Emmett shook his jacket and strode away after accusing Atwood.

It was still warm in the greenhouse, but Atwood felt extremely cold. His body was trembling.

After a long time, he muttered to himself again and again, "I love her.... I love her.... I love her...."

His arms, legs, lips, and even his eyelids were trembling violently.... Finally, a teardrop fell from his
eyes.



Emmett felt refreshed after he walked out of the courtyard. He took a few deep breaths and kicked at
the flower pots at the entrance to vent his anger.

After doing all that, he turned around resentfully and glared at the house. And then, he got into his car.

It was quiet in the car.

Emmett covered his face with his hand and gasped.

Finally ... he figured out everything that happened in the past.

He thought to himself, 'Mother, you can rest in peace now.

'My sister, I never had the chance to see you, but I hope you are enjoying your eternal life.

'Mother, I will love my girl wholeheartedly. I will never neglect her or let her experience the loneliness
you once felt. And I will never neglect my family just because I am busy. I will love them with all my
heart and soul.

'I promise I will love them with all my heart and soul....'

...

Elaine followed Mandy out, and she saw a car there. Mandy looked at Elaine and said, "You can get in
the car."

"Oh, Mandy, is this your family's car?"

Mandy nodded, but she didn't look Elaine in the eye as she said, "My parents worry about me ever
since I was in poor health. They asked a chauffeur to drive me around. Just get in the car."

...



Elaine grinned and said, "Great!"

After they got in the car, Elaine saw that Mandy was gloomy and dull. Mandy was as beautiful and
delicate as a porcelain doll, but she did not have any liveliness that a young girl should have. Elaine
couldn't help but feel sorry for Mandy, so she took Mandy's hand and murmured, "Mandy, why can't you
be happier? Just let go of the past. You need to face the future. Try to be happier, will you?"

A shiver ran down Mandy's spine, and her eyelids twitched violently. She turned to look at Elaine in
surprise.

"Do ... Do I look upset? You can tell?"

"Yes. You look like you want to cry."

Mandy laughed and said, "Really? I thought I've hid it well. Elaine, you really live a happy life."

Mandy looked out of the window and drowned herself in sorrow again.

"Everyone has their own happiness. If you can be more optimistic, you will also find your own
happiness. Mandy, you are so beautiful and talented, and your parents are well-off. All you need to do
is to reach out and catch your own happiness."

"It's not that easy."

Mandy said gloomily, and some indescribable sorrow appeared in her eyes again.

Elaine really wished she could hold Mandy tightly in her arms and shared her happiness with Mandy.

Elaine didn't notice that the car was taking them towards a deserted suburban area.

"Wow, the scenery here is really nice. The plain is boundless! We can only see this kind of magnificent
scenery outside the city. It's so beautiful here! I am going to take a lot of photos!" For Elaine, the



beautiful scenery was enough to cheer her up. She was as happy as a little bird when she looked at the
boundless autumn landscape outside.

She pressed her nose to the window, took out her phone, and took many photos of the scenery
outside.

Mandy turned her head stiffly and looked at Elaine quietly. Mandy, with a dull expression, looked just
like a zombie.

Elaine was in high spirits during the whole ride. She exclaimed again and again. She just loved
everything she saw. She was like a curious child who wouldn't stop chattering.

...

Finally, they arrived at their destination.

Mandy got out of the car first. She turned her back to Elaine and said in a low voice, "Get out of the car.
This is the place I talked to you about."

"Oh? Is it? Okay, I'm getting out now." Elaine turned her head to glance at the deserted place, and then
she hurriedly got out of the car.

"Mandy, where are we? Is that your family's house?"

Elaine gave a skip and a jump when she saw a huge house which was like a castle in front of her.

She was so excited that she even walked faster than Mandy. She looked up at the building with
admiration, "Wow, this house is really magnificent! It is of a twentieth century European style! It's just
so beautiful! Mandy, you should have your wedding here when you get married. I'll help you carry the
long train of your wedding dress. You'll be as beautiful as a goddess at your wedding!"



With a smile on her face, Elaine turned to look at Mandy, and she found that Mandy had frozen.

It seemed that Mandy was astounded by the scene Elaine just mentioned.

The smile on Elaine's face grew even bigger. She grabbed Mandy's hand, shook it, and said, "We
should let our children play together in the future. What do you think? That's going to be fun, right?"

Mandy's eyelids twitched and her voice became hoarse. Suddenly, she said, "I don't like it here. Let's
go back."

"What? Why?" Elaine widened her eyes in disbelief.

It took them almost an hour to get there by car. Elaine did not understand why Mandy suddenly said
she wanted to go back, because Elaine found the place to be nice.

Mandy was determined. She turned around and headed back towards the car. Elaine also turned
around and tried to catch up with Mandy. Elaine panted as she asked, "What's wrong? Mandy, why do
we have to go back so early? Are you not feeling well? I find this place to be nice though."

"I told you that I don't like it here!"

Mandy spoke impolitely and impatiently. Elaine was startled and almost lost for words. After a while,
Elaine nodded and said dully, "Got it."

She could only listen to Mandy. But ... why on earth did Mandy behave so strangely all of a sudden?

Mandy walked very fast, and Elaine had to run to catch up with her. Elaine was almost out of breath.

...

Just as they were about to get back to the car, Elaine suddenly heard a cold voice from behind them.



"Since you have taken her here, why are you trying to take her away now?"

Mandy suddenly froze there. Elaine thought Mandy was trembling when she looked at Mandy from
behind.

Elaine turned around curiously to see who just spoke.

And then, she was frightened.

A woman wearing a purple dress, a purple hat, and a purple mask was standing there. Elaine could
only see her eyes. But the way the woman staring at Elaine was sinister and indifferent!

Yes, Elaine was sure that the woman was glaring at her, not at Mandy.

"Who ... Who is she? Mandy?"

Scared, Elaine asked Mandy in a low voice.

Mandy's body trembled slightly, and she did not reply.

However, the woman in purple suddenly began to giggle. Her giggle was vicious and terrifying.

"Mandy, why didn't you answer her question? She's asking you who I am. You should answer her
question. Well, maybe you want me to introduce myself? I'm Mandy's ally, and I'm a member of the
Carter family."

"Oh, Ms. Carter... Hello."

Elaine wondered why this woman called herself Mandy's ... ally.... Why didn't she say she was Mandy's
friend?



Elaine was scared by the cold aura of the weird woman. Elaine's heart skipped a beat, and she
whispered to Mandy, "Mandy, I don't want to be here anymore.... Let's go back, shall we?"

"No way!" The woman in purple raised her voice and shouted to Elaine.

"We finally got you here. How can we let you leave here so easily? Do you know how long it took us to
think of a lie to get you here?"

(⊙_⊙)Elaine was astounded when she heard the woman's words.

A lie?

Did the woman talk about a lie?

They had told her a lie to get her there?

"What ... What do you mean? Why did you get me here?" Elaine couldn't help but step back as she
spoke.

The woman in purple strode towards Elaine, her gaze becoming more and more vicious. Elaine was so
frightened that she had to lean against the car. She widened her eyes with fear as she watched the
weird woman approaching her.

"Mandy, why don't you tell this little rabbit why you tricked her into coming here?"
