263: Chapter 269: Mistook the Person 263: Chapter 269: Mistook the Person “Emma, what’s wrong?” Emily Clarke ca to Emma Campbell’s side, asking with confusion.
“Nothing…
nothing.” Emma Campbell bit her lip, tears involuntarily flowing out.
She had not only seen Jas Brown, but also a woman sitting closely next to him, and what was even more outrageous was that the woman was holding Jas Brown’s arm, looking very intimate.
Sarah Johnson also ca over to Emma Campbell’s side and followed her gaze to look in that direction.
Even though there were two tables of custors there, she imdiately confird that Emma Campbell was looking at the table where Jas Brown was sitting.
Although Jas Brown was in disguise, it was only ant to fool those unfamiliar with him.
For Emma Campbell, who knew him well, she recognized him imdiately.
“Emma, is that man over there your boyfriend?” Sarah Johnson’s eyes widened.
Emma Campbell’s body shivered, saying, “No…
it’s not.” She hurriedly wiped away her tears and said, “Don’t overthink it.
I just got so sand in my eyes.”
“Sand?” Both Sarah Johnson and Emily Clarke looked at Emma Campbell with disbelief, finding it unlikely for sand to get into her eyes in such a closed shopping mall.
“Alright, let’s walk,” Emma Campbell said, pulling them to leave.
Emily Clarke imdiately responded: “We ca here to have a drink, why leave?”
“Yes, Emma, we’re here to drink.
We can’t just leave,” Sarah continued, forcefully pulling Emma Campbell to sit down, but her gaze slid over to Jas Brown again.
As Sarah Johnson had said, Emma Campbell was really not good at lying.
Both friends had already sensed sothing wrong; they vaguely guessed that one of the two n at Jas Brown’s table might be her boyfriend.
And that man was even accompanied by another woman, clearly deceiving Emma Campbell.
The two friends had never approved Emma Campbell dating soone off-campus, fearing that she might be tricked.
Now, their judgnt was confird, so they wanted Emma Campbell to see the true face of the man and not be fooled by him any longer.
Therefore, after asking Emma Campbell to sit down, Sarah Johnson said to Emily Clarke, “You keep Emma company for a bit, I’ll go buy sothing.”
However, Sarah Johnson didn’t go to buy sothing directly, but instead walked straight toward the table where Jas was.
Jas Brown had already seen Emma Campbell co in, which made him feel extrely troubled.
He sensed that Emma had recognized him.
He was not afraid that he couldn’t explain the situation to her, but at that mont he simply couldn’t explain and it would certainly make Emma Campbell very sad.
Just as he was thinking of an excuse to leave, Sarah Johnson had already walked over, leaving him no chance to escape.
“Are you Emma’s boyfriend?” Sarah Johnson went straight up to Jas Brown and asked coldly.
Helen Wilson had not seen Emma Campbell yet, and suddenly a girl popped up questioning Jas Brown, startling her.
She imdiately stood up, glaring, and demanded, “Who are you?”
Sarah Johnson disdainfully glanced at the flamboyantly dressed Helen Wilson and scoffed, “Hmph, Emma really was blind to fall for you.
Look at the kind of woman you’ve chosen; can she compare to Emma in any way?”
At that mont, Helen Wilson, needing to crack the case and aware that getting exposed was bad news, beca very anxious.
Thinking of getting rid of this girl, she abruptly pushed like a shrew, demanding, “Who are you anyway?
This is my husband.
What are you doing here mindlessly calling him your boyfriend?
Are you sick?”
Unexpectedly, Sarah Johnson was fiery enough.
Once Helen Wilson pushed her, she pushed back harder, eyes growing even more intense, and retorted, “Back off!
I’m talking to this philandering man, and let tell you, with your kind, it’s only a matter of ti before you get kicked to the curb.”
Jas Brown then stood up, grabbing Helen Wilson, and said, “Let’s go.”
John Smith’s eyes lit up, not expecting to see such drama here, and quickly said, “Mr.
Lee, you’re really sothing, even with other people here.
Do you need my help settling this?”
Deeply heartbroken, Emma Campbell had been avoiding looking at Jas Brown, fearing it would split her heart.
But hearing Sarah Johnson causing a scene terrified her, and she hurried over, grabbing Sarah Johnson, anxiously imploring, “Lily, stop talking, let’s leave!”
John Smith’s eyes shined, not expecting Emma Campbell to be so beautiful, most importantly her fragility which was truly heart-wrenching for any man.
This girl was indeed top-notch.
Glancing back at Helen Wilson, she paled in comparison to Emma Campbell.
But suddenly he felt sothing was amiss.
Jas Brown was not a local and it was his first ti coming here to smuggle.
How could he already have a kept woman here?
Instinctively, he glanced at Jas Brown, his eyes filled with puzzled suspicion.
Jas Brown and Joan Wilson both sensed John Smith’s suspicion.
Joan was extrely anxious, whereas Jas Brown flirtatiously asked Emma Campbell, “Little sister, do you know ?”
Emma Campbell was stunned for a mont, sizing up Jas Brown from head to toe.
Jas Brown looked different from usual, but she knew Jas so well; after having lived together so many tis, she could still recognize that this was indeed Jas Brown.
“Little sister, you really are pretty.
If you think I’m your boyfriend, then I’ll just accept that role.
What do you think?” Jas Brown said as he pinched Emma Campbell’s cheek.
Emma Campbell didn’t dodge.
She was a bit dumbfounded, but when Jas pinched her, she suddenly realized sothing—Jas dressing up like this and speaking in such a tone was clearly an attempt to disguise his identity.
Although she didn’t know what Jas was up to, she definitely couldn’t spoil his plans.
Moreover, the sleazy way Jas was acting made her feel a bit scared; what if she had really recognized the wrong person?
That would be a big loss.
She hurriedly stepped back and exclaid anxiously, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I got it wrong.”
Jas Brown quickly took a step forward and reached out to grab Emma Campbell’s hand, saying, “So you got it wrong?
That’s fine, I have plenty of money.
Just na your price, and I’ll take care of you.”
Instinctively, Emma Campbell stepped back several more paces, stamring, “I really got it wrong, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
Sarah Johnson imdiately stopped Jas Brown, angrily saying, “What are you trying to do?
If you continue this nonsense, I’m calling the police.”
At that mont, Joan Wilson made a sarcastic comnt, “Silly girl, mistakenly recognizing boyfriends, what a ss.
Honey, this little girl has not an ounce of flesh on her, what’s there to be attracted to?”
Jas Brown still seed a bit reluctant as he looked at Emma Campbell, seemingly quite smitten.
Joan pursed her lips and swung his arm, dissatisfiedly saying, “Honey, what are you doing?”
Laughing dryly, Jas Brown replied, “Alright, alright, let’s go shopping.” After walking a few steps, he still couldn’t help but turn around to look back at Emma Campbell.
Initially, John Smith thought Sarah Johnson’s questioning of Jas Brown was suspicious, but now, seeing Jas Brown’s infatuated look towards Emma Campbell, he realized he was overthinking it—it was clearly a case of mistaken identity.
Glancing at Emma Campbell a few tis, he thought this kind of girl should be pursued if the opportunity arises.
Blinking his eyes, John Smith said to Jas Brown: “Mr.
Lee, go enjoy your ti with your wife.
I won’t disturb you.”
Jas Brown acknowledged, and he and Joan Wilson left the dining area.
Once they had walked a good distance, Joan breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “That was close, we almost blew our cover.”
Jas Brown glanced at Joan and said, “Look at the kind of makeup you’ve done.
Emma recognized imdiately.
If those people recognized our identity, we’d be done for.”
Joan awkwardly grinned but still protested, “She’s just too familiar with you, so even if you wear makeup, she can still recognize you.
But these people haven’t had any contact with us before, they definitely won’t recognize us.”
“It’s better that way, otherwise you really would have gotten killed.”
At that ti, in the dining area, Sarah Johnson and Emily Clarke were looking at Emma Campbell, whose expression had beco less sad.
Sarah Johnson asked with confusion, “Emma, was that guy really not your boyfriend?”
Emma Campbell was about to admit it but then suddenly noticed the man who had been with Jas Brown was still here.
She quickly shook her head and said, “No, my boyfriend is younger than him, but they look sowhat alike.
I got it wrong.”
Sarah Johnson and Emily Clarke were both amused and exasperated by Emma’s mistake.
Emily Clarke said, “I an, Emma, even mistaking your own boyfriend, that’s really sothing.”
Emma felt very embarrassed, not because she had recognized the wrong person, but because she had to lie to her good friends instead of telling them the truth.
Feeling guilty, she said, “I’m really sorry, I didn’t see clearly when I ca in, and even made you, Lily, look bad.”
Sarah Johnson waved her hand and said, “Forget it, who made your good friend.
Have your boyfriend take and Emily Clarke out for a al to make it up to us.”
“No problem, no problem!” Emma Campbell quickly agreed repeatedly.
After finishing their al, the three of them strolled around the mall and then prepared to return to school.
Emma Campbell had seen Jas Brown today and found his actions quite peculiar, making her very worried about his safety.
She especially thought of Jas, and not daring to call him, she told Emily Clarke and Sarah Johnson before heading alone towards Jas Brown’s house.
Taking a car, Emma Campbell arrived at Jas Brown’s house, which seed to have been unoccupied for several days with dust settling everywhere.
She imdiately set to cleaning the house, and then sat on the sofa, her mind filled with images of Jas Brown and all their sweet mories.
Lost in thoughts, she eventually beca entranced.
