Meanwhile...
Emily Taylor was no longer at the Lucas family's mansion.
When Sylvia Scott saw her, she pulled her into the car, confiscating her cell phone and bag before they even got in.
"Duchess... what, what are you trying to do?" The car doors were locked, leaving Emily Taylor unable to get out. She could only lean against the door and watch Sylvia Scott warily.
"I know I was wrong, misunderstanding Lily over a baseless rumor and saying harsh things to her. I even got slapped by you, and I'm willing to apologize for that. But you can't do this... kidnapping is illegal!"
"Pfft, kidnapping? You're overthinking it." Sylvia Scott said with a sly smile, her demeanor and tone far less commanding than before.
