Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson)

Chapter 443: Her Blood Is on Your Hands

Emily left.

She disappeared into thin air, after causing this online upheaval by declaring her identity as the granddaughter of Sawyer Gale.

But she didn’t mention a single word about Joseph.

After Joseph learned about this, he immediately used his best PR team to clarify the rumors.

But there were not only photographs, but also videos.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t reverse it.

As one of the Gale family, Emily actually had an affair with the eldest young master. It was the biggest scandal for the family.

Just as Joseph was trying to salvage Emily’s reputation, another video came out.

It was also recorded by Emily herself, saying that she liked Joseph, but at that time, she wasn’t aware she was the granddaughter.

Joseph did not like her back, so she had to trick him into doing such a ridiculous thing by drugs.

She also said things didn’t work out, to which people held some doubt.

But everyone chose to believe the part where she attempted to hook up with Hunter Jackson.

As a result, everything was Emily’s fault.

Joseph, however, became an ignorant victim.

The news in City L had been focusing on this all day.

There came the most evil woman in this world.

It was not Wendy, who was accused of fraud, but Emily, who drugged her cousin.

She became synonymous with disgust, nasty, and shamelessness.

Negative comments from millions of people online were enough to ruin a girl’s life.

The Gales could finally file a suit against Wendy, at the cost of Emily’s reputation.

But the current problem was … where was Emily?

Hunter only learned about it that noon.

He had been in a videoconference all morning. Liam told him right after it.

The look on his face got worse as he watched the two videos that Emily posted.

What was this woman thinking? Destroying herself to save the family?

And what were all the Gales doing? Where was Joseph?

How could he let a little girl handle this alone? How could he call himself a man?

Just as he was about to go and question him, Joseph showed up.

“Are you hiding her?”

Joseph’s eyes were bloodshot. Obviously, he was flustered.

Hunter looked furious, “How could you leave her all alone to this mess? Joseph, you’re such a coward!”

Joseph stared at him as if he wanted to read something from his face.

But all he could see was rage. This man was indeed furious.

Joseph clenched his fists and turned away.

Hunter chased after him, and his fist was about to land on his back.

Joseph dodged it by taking a sideway step.

Hunter hated sneak attack, or he wouldn’t miss the target at all.

“Let’s get this straight!”

Hunter waved his hand, and Liam together with two bodyguards immediately blocked the door.

A few guys coming with Joseph were also ready for a fight to protect their young master.

“You used to torture her, and now you’re pretending to care about her? Hunter, what a good show!” Joseph sneered.

Hunter snorted. He never put on a show.

“Where exactly are you hiding her? Tell me!”

These two videos were enough to ruin Emily’s life.

How could a young girl withstand it?

“What do you think? If I know where she is, why would I come to you?” said Hunter.

Joseph sobered. As long as she wasn’t with Hunter, he didn’t want to waste any time here.

Hunter also cooled down.

Joseph was indeed unaware of Emily’s whereabouts. Could it be exactly her intention?

He knew her. Sacrificing herself for the sake of her family was exactly what she would do.

But this was no joke at all. She couldn’t take this all by herself!

Drug … seduction … was she crazy?

It broke his heart to think that Emily had become a slut to everyone else.

This whole thing was overwhelming.

“Hunter, I believe it’s not your fault. I am looking for her now. If you still have a bit of sympathy for this girl who used to be with you, then please don’t interfere.”

He wasn’t afraid of him. He just didn’t want more time to be wasted.

He had to go. He had to find Emily before the reporters and anyone else did.

Otherwise, she would only suffer more.

Joseph turned away again, but Hunter did not stop him because he had his own things to do.

“Liam, ask everyone to look for that ignorant girl, until you find her!”

His chest was still throbbing, as if it couldn’t be relieved.

Liam immediately made several calls to anyone he could reach.

Hunter also went out in his own car with Liam.

He was looking for Joe.

“Where is Emily?” Hunter grabbed his collar the second he saw him.

“Hunter, what’s this all about?” Joe was, to some degree, afraid of him.

After all, he could put him down with just one finger.

“I’m asking you, where is Emily?” Hunter didn’t want to waste his breath.

Joe hadn’t returned from City L. It must be because Emily still needed him.

Now that she had gone missing, who else could she turn to?

“I don’t know. She only asked me to post two videos with virtual IP. Nothing else.”

“Are you crazy? Have you even seen the videos before you posted them?”

Hunter wished he could strangle him to death. He actually helped make this disaster happen!

“You’ve ruined her life!”

“No, Hunter.”

Joe almost suffocated with Hunter grabbing his collar.

But still, he looked at him with a determined look.

“I didn’t destroy Emily’s life. You did.”

Joe smiled coldly and miserably.

Of course it broke his heart to see Emily doing this.

But what else could he do?

He knew her well. If he wouldn’t offer help, she would find another way, probably a more aggressive one.

At the very least, she was safe now. That mattered most.

Right now, he knew it was a bad time to provoke him.

But he was just so pissed off.

“Hunter, if something bad happens to her, or if she dies, her blood is also on your hands!”
