Chapter 14

Emely said, "Riana is my sister-in-law." Leo turned to face Emely, who was silent and giving him a blank expression when he stated that.

The girl made the decision to listen while clearing her head. Her eyes and thoughts felt refreshed as she gazed at the carefully chosen plants in the front garden of the school.

Emely was actually hesitant to hear anything else from Leo. The girl was aware of Leo's persevering nature, though. It's possible that Leo returned repeatedly.

Maybe it was time for Emely to draw attention to the reality of the situation. Leo must also understand that Riana constantly meddles in his life.

"Since my wife passed away, she has been in charge of me and has limited my freedom. She seemed to be worried that Ben would choose the wrong surrogate mother at first, but it turns out—"

It appears he has his sights set on you and won't allow any women to approach you, right? Emely, still staring blankly, interrupted Leo.

The policeman remained quiet. His eyes showed surprise. Leo didn't tell him anything about Riana, so how did he know?

Leo was perplexed and questioned, "How do you know?

Naturally, Emely was aware from Riana herself, and William had made it quite plain who Riana really was. Emely didn't want to mess about with someone as deadly as Riana since she was still sane.

Emely didn't intend to tell him everything about Riana's actions from the previous day, though. She would be safe as long as she avoided Leo. Emely had that thinking.

"It doesn't matter where I learned that, Leo. One thing is certain: I am fully knowledgeable, "In an effort to move this discourse along, Emely said.

Emely already felt uneasy. Particularly if William learned that she was seeing Leo. In addition, Emely didn't want Riana to pursue her once more and smack the opposite cheek. Emely shuddered in terror at the thought of it.

"Thanks, Leo. Don't approach me once more. As the student's guardian and teacher, our relationship is sufficient. noting further." Emely said as she got to her feet. He already had his briefcase on.

Emely assumed that the discussion was ended. She was more in danger the more time she spent with Leo.

"Emely, hold on. Why are you treating me in this manner? You've changed from the previous Emely; "Leo clarified while standing.

Emely made a sudden turn to look at Leo. Leo was really like a guarding prince when he was younger, but now he was like a danger to her life.

"Changed? Leo, fate rather than me has changed the course of our relationship. Thanks, Leo. Stay away from me if you genuinely care about me. My life will be safe in that way "Emely remarked before waltzing away without giving Leo a single glance.

Leo, on the other hand, was just immobile in response to all the unexpected queries.

On a deserted road, a black automobile was moving at a modest speed. The driver's mind was racing as he fixed his attention on the road.

Before they parted ways, his thoughts were still debating the significance of Emely's comments. He was still trying to figure out what she was saying, though.

"Why is Emely discussing life? Did she receive a threat or...." His vehicle abruptly came to a rest on the roadside shoulder.

Why hadn't he considered that before? Riana was the sole potential threat that caused Emely to avoid him.

The teeth in Leo's clinched jaws were grinding against one another. His knuckles became white as his hands tightened their grasp on the steering wheel. His ex-brother-in-law had overstepped his bounds.

He had to explain everything to Riana. He wouldn't remain silent any longer if it were true that Emely was avoiding him because of Riana.

Leo put his foot to the gas and quickly turned around. Leo was planning to calculate that woman's worth, Riana.

***

It was anxious in the soundproof chamber that had beautiful decorations in every corner. Men in black suits stood in a straight line in front of the young woman in a manner that reflected her social standing as wealthy and elegant.

The beauty was, regrettably, only external. The polish on her face appeared pointless because of the obvious hostility in her eyes and sneer.

Is this really Leo, the girl questioned.

"True, Miss. He seems like Mr. Leo to me. In actuality, the automobile and number match."

Riana's messenger had delivered a picture, which the girl who turned out to be her squeezed. This simply could not be permitted. As it turned out, Emely needed more than just a slap.

"I'll put you through hardships while you're married, Emely. you too, Leo. I'll force you to submit to me if you don't want to "Riana spoke, a look of anger and dishonesty on her face.

"Just let it be. I'll devise a fresh strategy. I'll ask you folks to keep an eye on Leo and Emely's actions, that's the idea."

Only Riana's soldiers bowed submissively. Riana was herself traveling in the correct direction in the meantime. Yes, to the one who was able to inflict enough pain on Emely to make her cry nonstop.

***

"Mom, why did Ben's father sneak into the classroom to meet the teacher?"

Emely flinched as Clara asked a question that made her turn her head. Clara's means of knowing that The young girl had been instructed to wait in the classroom while she painted.

Emely remarked, "How did Clara know?," which caused Clara to momentarily turn away while biting her bottom lip.

The young woman twisted her fingers. Clara was obviously following the two adults, as Emely had no idea that she was doing so. Bakhan and Clara overheard their discussion. Clara considered it odd that her teacher was speaking to Ben's father alone even if she didn't understand what they were saying.

"Clara."

"Sorry, Mom. Clara... Clara was trailing behind Ben's parents. But why did you spend time with Ben's father alone? I told you that she would be Clara's new mother, didn't I?"

Emely was taken aback. The innocent words of her future stepdaughter hurt her heart. There was a sense of humiliation. How would she then describe it to Clara? Would the young girl then tell William what had occurred earlier? Issues would arise if this were the case. Emely felt uneasy.

***

Tense. That most likely sums up what was taking place in that opulent, beautiful space. A stunning young woman with a furious face was sitting on one side with her legs crossed.

In the meantime, a police officer was in front of her. Even though he had a placid demeanor, his eyes were heart-piercingly acute.

How did you treat Emely? Without providing any information or any politeness, the policeman asked out of the blue.

The stunning young woman, who was none other than Riana, stared at him with contempt. She believed that her ex-sister-in-law had arrived for some other purpose. Instead, he was referring to the lady he despised just then.

She pretended not to know and inquired, "What did I do, Leo?"

Of course, until Leo spoke, the girl wouldn't admit. Riana was curious as to what Emely and Officer Leo were discussing.

Leo laughed as he turned his head away before giving Riana a vengeful gaze.

"Ri, don't act as if you don't know. Despite the fact that Emely remained silent, the manner she is avoiding me is abnormal. She must be being threatened or under pressure from someone!" Leo yelled, but his voice was muffled and it appeared that he was growling.
