My Great Escape Led Me to You novel Chapter 316

Emily Blair took a shaky breath, bracing herself on the floor with one hand as she slowly pushed herself upright. She tugged her twisted shirt back down, covering her slender waist, then carefully got to her feet with the help of the ground beneath her.

Andrew Lane simply watched in silence. His sharp gaze was enough to make Mr. Green bow his head even lower.

Mr. Green turned back, impatient. “What are you standing around for? Give her a hand, will you?”

The woman glanced up, taking in the strikingly handsome face of the newcomer, his expensive suit, and the gleaming watch at his wrist. Her heart began to race, and her grip on her son tightened. A flush crept up her cheeks.

She’d been raising her boy alone ever since her divorce several years ago. Suitors had come and gone, but none had impressed her. She wasn’t interested in just any man.

But this one—he was good-looking, well-dressed, and clearly wealthy. She couldn’t help but feel a flicker of hope.

Of course, the woman by his side was stunning too, but that hardly mattered. What mattered was making sure she caught his attention.

At Mr. Green’s urging, she swayed over, helping Emily Blair up from the floor and guiding her gently back into her wheelchair.

As the woman drew near, Emily’s body tensed for a moment before she allowed herself to be settled back into the chair.

Once she was sitting securely, Emily finally looked up at Andrew Lane and Isabella Austin.

That’s when she noticed that Andrew had never taken his eyes off her. His gaze was deep and unreadable. Isabella, standing at his side with her arm linked affectionately through his, looked down at Emily—her expression was gentle, but there was a certain smugness in her posture, a sense of superiority.

Emily thought to herself, Isabella probably believed that after everything that had happened these past few days, she had already won, and that Emily was no longer a threat.
