My Great Escape Led Me to You novel Chapter 379

Andrew Lane’s eyes narrowed. “What did you just say?”

Emily Blair held his gaze, her look sharp and unyielding, words cutting through the air without mercy.

“Or is it that you see me as your little sister, Mr. Lane?” She let out a cold laugh. “If that’s the case, you sure have a strange way of showing brotherly love. I’ve never heard of a brother who’d go so far as to pull strings with the media just to ruin his ‘sister’s’ reputation. Or one who finds such pleasure in tormenting her. I’ve never met a brother who could be as heartless as you.”

“So tell me, Mr. Lane, is this how you treat all your family? Or do you just think I’m a fool?”

She gave a dry chuckle, her tone mocking. “If this is your idea of brotherly affection, then do me a favor and let me go. Find someone else to fill that role, will you?”

Andrew’s reply was unreadable. “Since when did you get so sharp-tongued?”

Emily’s lips twisted into a faint, ironic smile. “That’s exactly why you and I are nothing alike, Mr. Lane. You should let me go.”

From behind, Emma George caught up, reaching out to pry Andrew’s arm away. But seeing the storm brewing on his face, she hesitated, stopping short of touching him. Instead, she warned sharply, “Andrew Lane, let her go!”

Andrew ignored Emma, his brow furrowed, arm still like iron. His voice dropped, low and commanding. “Emily Blair, let go.”

Emily just tightened her grip on the door frame, a soft, defiant smile on her face. “Did you forget, Mr. Lane? This is my house. If I want to hold on, I will. That’s none of your business.”

His gaze hardened. “The Lane Estate is your home. Come back with me.”

Emily froze for a split second, then let out a snort of laughter. “Here’s some advice, Mr. Lane—stop deluding yourself. The Lane Estate was never my home. At best, it’s a place I’m staying for now. There’s nothing there worth going back for.”

Andrew regarded her in silence, then nodded. “So you’re not letting go, huh?”
