Speed Candles

Chapter 28 Feast



After the F hotel scandal, Emily became headlines overnight. The gossip about her even outmatched some celebrities.

"Oskar Miller's mystery girl?" "Clark's daughter is EX?" Such topics abound, and she just learned that Oskar's real girlfriend was actually Sebastian's sister. No wonder Sebastian was asking her about Oskar endlessly.

Such a situation was unfavorable to her. If the situation went worse, the reporters would dig out the dirt of her past, including the shit storm two years ago.

To stay out of trouble, she kept hiding at Evelyn's place and did not set foot out at all. She turned off her phone 24/7 and her meals were brought by Evelyn. On the other hand, Fiona looked up all the background of Emily and the entire Morris family. Therefore, she knew every dirty secrets about Emily. Half a month passed, Emily was no longer headline. That was when she received another invitation from Oskar.

The room was full of handsome men and beautiful women, all singing and dancing. Oskar insisted on drinking with Emily. They had to drink in turns. "Can I ask you a question?" Emily deliberately teased Oskar with joy.

"Shoot."

"How many girlfriends did you have before Fiona?"

Oskar thought about it and counted his fingers, then shook his head, "I can't remember."

Emily then asked, "Then do you plan to marry her?"

"Will you marry a man who you just met for less than three months?" He asked rhetorically, the answer was obvious.

"I will."

"What, you have a thing for quick marriage?" Oskar asked incredulously, "What do you think of me? Do I meet your standard for quick marriage?"

Emily rolled her eyes, and her brain swiftly started to organize a language that was beneficial to her. Right now, she couldn't offend the son of the Miller family.

"My family is going to find a son-in-law." For a while, she hesitated and teased, "Mr. Miller, you are definitely too much for that role."

Oskar seemed to hear a big joke, he laughed loudly, and everyone else turned their heads to look here.

Someone asked, "Mr. Miller, what's so funny? Share the joke please."

He gave Emily a glance, and asked in time, "Which one of you wants to marry into a rich family?"

There was a burst of laughter in the private room. Emily rolled her eyes and thought to herself that it was really a group of rich kids who were well served and didn't understand the common people's suffering. Taking advantage of his gentle expression at this time, she said in a rush, "Oskar, I have something else to ask. Our relationship is not appropriate. You have a girlfriend, and I have a reputation. I don't think messing with me will do you any good."

Emily finished speaking in one breath, staring at Oskar with a scorching look, hoping that he could nod and agree. Only if he took the initiative to clarify, this gossip could disappear.

"I don't mind a new girlfriend." He was tired of Fiona anyway.

Emily had already thought about a lot of words to refuse, and suddenly a waiter came in from the door, saying that a Miss Clark was waiting downstairs. She was about to break in, with or without Oskar's permission...

Oskar remained calm on this news, yet Emily couldn't sit still. She couldn't be seen by Fiona.

"I have an urgent matter to deal with, so may you excuse me." said Emily.

Emily stood up awkwardly, grabbed the bag and walked out.

As soon as she walked out, noise came from the door. A beautifully dressed woman was talking to the waiter. Emily had an ominous premonition struck her heart. It was not as simple as celebrating Oskar's birthday.

She turned around and wanted to leave, and a woman's shrill voice came from behind, "You stop."

This was Fiona, Sebastian's sister and Oskar's real girlfriend.

Emily paused, pretend she didn't hear her, and walked out. However, Fiona suddenly rushed up and grabbed her shoulder.

"Miss Morris, so you are the one who is with my boyfriend. I didn't expect it." Fiona's face was full of surprise, and her mouth twitched several times, "What happened between you and Oskar...?"

Emily had nothing to do with Oskar. She was invited by a big client, to celebrate his birthday. Emily just wanted to take this opportunity to ask him to clarify the scandal.

"I have nothing to do with him."

"Then what's the matter with the bracelet in your hand? It is exactly the same as the one in the paparazzi shot. You claim to be innocent?" Fiona stared at the bracelet on Emily's wrist, with a rampant smile at the corner of her mouth, "Also With your face, is it because the people in town are blind? My brother is right. A woman like you is shameless to whore yourself for money. You want to marry into the Clark family, by lying about being pregnant."

With a strong sense of humiliation, Emily gritted her teeth and said, "You don't need to humiliate me with such words. Oskar is always your boyfriend and has nothing to do with me."

"Miss Clark, you are my EX, should you show some respect to my present girlfriend?"

A deep and cold voice came. Oskar leaned against the door and watched the big show with great interest for a long time. He seized the right time to speak. The only purpose of his words was to get rid of the spoiled lady who clung to him, like sticky gum.

Fiona was the daughter of the Clark family. She grown up spoiled. She couldn't stand the humiliation. She was so mad that she almost clinched her fingers broken.

There was a murderous intension hidden under her red eyes, her beautiful chin was trembling and twitching with anger, and the expression on her face didn't indicate whether she wanted to laugh or cry. There was only a sound of "pop" in the aisle. With a slap, Emily's left face twitched with pain, redness and swelling. She felt that her left ear was buzzingly deaf. Her mouth was full of blood.

"So Miss Clark slapped the girl?"

"Yes, that's no noble at all."

Several people standing next to Oskar talked a lot. Oskar strode over and grabbed Fiona's hand. He squinted and warned, "Fiona, you know you don't want to piss me off."

The crowed were watching in excitement, and even more and more people came and blocked the whole aisle.

Fiona cried off half of the makeup on her face. She gritted her teeth to be honest with him, "Oskar, do you know who she is? Two years ago, she slept with my brother, just to get back to her stepmother and half-sister. And she was trying to marry into my family."

Emily couldn't wait to shut her up. But Fiona was with Oskar after all, she couldn't do anything to her in front of him.

Fiona continued, "Also, she killed her own..."

Hearing this, Oskar flew into a rage and roared, "Shut up, I don't want to hear you anymore. You go now, or I will go."

Fiona was crying and shouting, yet still was pulled away by Oskar. Emily felt exhausted and embarrassed. She was caught in a dilemma between the two men and almost fell asleep in the car on her way back home.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
