Chapter 346

Not far away, Emily stood with the light behind her, shadowed and still. Almost at the same moment, she turned to face Evelyn. Emily's eyes were bloodshot, burning with hatred as she stared Evelyn down. There was raw fury in that gaze, like a storm ready to break. In just a few days, she'd lost all contact with Nathaniel. Even Edward and Grace weren't answering their phones. To top it off, her parents had been missing for days. Then this morning, George and Amelia were dumped at their doorstep, barely alive. Emily was totally freaked out and rushed them to the hospital. After Amelia woke up, she clung to her daughter like she was traumatized, cursing Evelyn again and again. Piece by piece, from Amelia's broken ramblings, Emily pieced together what had gone down. Julian had forced her parents to kneel and apologize at Evelyn's late mom's grave—all to avenge Evelyn. And now? Their whole family was being chased out of Lichester. That's when she remembered that Nathaniel had vanished too.
