Star Actress 236

Chapter 236 

Unexpectedly, the naive girl, guided by her womanly intuition, asked James unhappily, “Who is this person? Is she your ex-girlfriend? You wouldn’t be rekindling your old flame with her, right? I disagree; you are the one I’ve set my eyes on!* 

The naive girl pouted, her tone carrying a hint of grievance. 

James immediately responded, “Lucy, by not trusting me like this, I might as well leave. I’ve always said I dislike being doubted the most. We grew up together; she’s like a sister to me. She came here alone, and as her brother, isn’t it natural for me to care for her?” 

Lucy Kim quickly apologized. ‘I’m sorry, James, I don’t distrust you. Your sister is my sister, too. Whatever you want to do for her, I 

support you, and I will treat her well just like you do!” 

Emily knew James had ambitions, so he could adapt to his goals. 

But she didn’t expect him to deceive the girl, too. 

Most importantly, this Lucy, sheltered by some powerful family, had fallen for his deception. 

“Emily, what are you doing here? Did you come here knowing I was here and specifically seeking me out? You’re alone in a car…” 

He said, glancing casually towards the car interior. 

From his angle, he caught a glimpse of Leopard and a blurry image of Daniel’s face. 

But the next moment, the car’s partition rose, blocking James from seeing Daniel’s handsome face. 

With just a glance, James was certain it was a young man who looked decent. 

His first guess was, could it be Daniel? 

Thinking this, he wanted to take a step forward to get a clear look at Daniel’s face. 

He also didn’t miss a beat. “Emily, who did you come with? Do I know them? I need to see who it is. If it’s someone I don’t know, you 

should come with us, wait for me to return to the country, and I’ll take you back. I can’t let you follow some other strange man!” 

The foolish Lucy, surprisingly, also agreed with James, looking at Emily and echoing his words, “Emily, James is looking out for you. It’s 

not safe for a pretty girl like you here. You dare to follow unfamiliar men. Who knows what their intentions are? Listen to him!” 

Emily sighed inwardly, seeing Lucy being deceived, thinking she was a fool. 

Unfortunately, Lucy was helping James block her.

In a different setting or time, she might have let the girl see James’s true colors. 

But she didn’t have the time now. 

Emily didn’t respond to Lucy, and in a lowered voice, she threatened James, “I don’t know if your friendship with Lucy is genuine or not, but since you deceived her by saying I’m your sister, it seems you don’t want her to know about our engagement. So, you stay out of my way. I have urgent matters and must catch a flight immediately. As for who I’m with, you no longer have the right to ask!” 

With a threatening gaze, she looked coldly at James. 

Surprisingly, James was momentarily speechless under her pressure. 

Emily was speaking in a low voice. If James didn’t comply, she would tell Lucy the truth. 

Finally, James took a step back. 

This meant he was backing down. 

Emily breathed a sigh of relief. 

Lucy didn’t understand. Wasn’t James caring for Emily? How come after a few words, James didn’t care anymore? She wanted to say 

something. 

Ignoring Lucy, James stepped forward, attempting to get a clear look at the man sitting in the back seat of the car. 

Anticipating his move, Emily quickly got into the car. 

She used both hands to cover Daniel’s face, preventing any chance of James catching a glimpse.
