Chapter 498: Chapter 498: Becoming Baron Stuart…
Just as the two of them turned the corner, Emily Walker suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure in her peripheral vision, and couldn’t help but stop in her tracks.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing her stop, Bella Stuart turned back in surprise, and looked at her questioningly.

Emily turned her head back and glanced at Bella, “You go ahead, I’ll find you later.”

Bella furrowed her brows in suspicion, and followed Emily’s gaze, but then looked back at her, “Did you run into an acquaintance?”

Emily nodded. She had indeed run into someone she knew.

“Alright then, give me a call when you’re done!” After saying that, Bella turned around and headed toward the private room where her classmates were gathered.

Watching her leave, Emily turned her gaze and walked toward the familiar figure she had seen moments earlier.

It seemed like she had seen Sister Rylee’s figure earlier, and it looked like she might be drunk.

As she turned the corner, she indeed saw Rosanne Nichols swaying unsteadily, with a man by her side, who was at this time helping her towards the elevator.

Looking at the man’s figure, Emily confirmed that he was not Rosanne’s fiancé. But why did the two seem so intimate?

With curiosity and a bit of worry, Emily followed them.

It was only after the two got into the elevator that Emily saw the indicator light stop at the 10th floor. She then took another elevator and followed them up to the 10th floor.

Upon arriving at the fifth floor and stepping out of the elevator, Emily could no longer see the two figures.

Hmm, stalking people like this doesn’t seem so good, does it?

Thinking about this, Emily was about to go back, feeling that her actions were quite inappropriate.

Just as she turned around to get in the elevator and return to Bella, she was once again caught by the sight of another figure.

“Baron Stuart… ”

Her eyes filled with doubt, she looked at the figure not far away, wondering why Baron Stuart was here.

But, having run into him here, Emily was somewhat excited. She was about to call out to him when she saw his figure disappear around the corner, so she hurriedly followed after him.

When she arrived at the corner, she saw a multitude of rooms before her. Looking up, she saw Baron Stuart not far ahead.

“Bar-” Emily was about to call out, but suddenly stopped.

She looked at the scene before her, somewhat stunned.

Baron Stuart had suddenly stopped in his tracks, his gaze falling on two figures not far away.

“Young Lord,” a man approached Baron Stuart, his ingratiating smile causing Baron Stuart to sneer slightly.

“Mr. Spencer said we were going to talk business, so why bring me here?” The 10th floor was composed of suites, not a suitable place to discuss business.

People usually talked business in private rooms on the second floor.

“You’re right, Young Lord. But…” Mr. Spencer began with a flattering smile, only to pause and add, “Shall we go inside to talk?”

At his words, Baron Stuart’s handsome brows furrowed slightly. Although puzzled, he followed the man into the room.

Not far away, Emily looked at the strange man, bewildered.

Wasn’t he the one helping Sister Rylee earlier? The same height and build, even the color of the clothes were the same. She couldn’t be wrong.

As soon as Baron Stuart entered the room, he saw a woman lying unconscious on the bed. He frowned and turned to look at Mr. Spencer beside him.

He swept his indifferent gaze over the somewhat plump middle-aged man before him, and said nothing, waiting for him to explain the meaning of it all.

The middle-aged man looked at him, then at Rosanne Nichols on the bed, “Young Lord, this…is just a small token of sincerity. I hope you’ll accept it.”
