Chapter 165 Emyr Turned Down Veronica.
“Mr. Emyr, you mentioned earlier that you would do everything you could to assist me with my reques can you help me with this?”
The study was so silent that Veronica’s voice coming through the phone speaker felt especially jarring.
On the other side of the call. Charmaine listened with a playful yet expectant tone, as if it was only natu for Emyr to take care of the matter. A frosty smile slowly took shape on her delicate features, remaining fixed in place.
Her gaze flickered toward Emyr at that moment.
She had foreseen this outcome.
Sending Tad to handle Bennett was nothing more than Emyr protecting what was his, letting his pride a man lead his decisions.
But Veronica? That was a different story.
He had gone through so much just to track her down.
How could a mere servant, someone he wouldn’t hesitate to discard, measure up to her?
Without realizing it, Charmaine let a faint trace of self–deprecation appear at the corner of her lips.
At the same time, Emyr instinctively lifted his gaze toward her.
The subtle smirk on her face made his dark eyes narrow slightly.
As perceptive as he was, how could he not grasp the meaning behind her expression?
Before I could even respond, had she already made up her mind that I would take Veronica’s sider
This woman!
His eyes narrowed further, and
a surge of frustration welled up in his chest.
Unaware of the storm brewing on the other end of the line, Veronica waited anxiously for a response. But a the silence dragged on, a sense of unease crept into her heart.
“Mr. Emyr? Are you still there?”
“I hear you,” he replied, his voice heavy with meaning.
Then, he asked, “Did Leah send you to look for me?”
“No, Leah is kind and gentle. How could she possibly cause me trouble? I wanted to help her,” Veronica quickly clarified, worried that Emyr might get the wrong idea about Leah.
She couldn’t help but wonder, Someone as pure and considerate as me–surely Mr. Emyr will appreciate that, right?
As a faint smile curled on her lips. Emyr’s deep voice came through the phone once more. “If it has nothing to do with you, stay out of it, he stated coldly.

Emyr didn’t bother sugarcoating his words. “Before you rush to help others, try thinking for yourself firs Not everyone is worth my time.”
Before Veronica could even process his response, the call abruptly ended.
Not only was Veronica left in shock, but Charmaine was also momentarily speechless.
This Satan had actually turned down Veronica and sided with me?
Noticing the blank look still on Charmaine’s face, Emyr frowned. “Why do you look so surprised?”
Charmaine blinked before answering honestly, “I really thought you’d agree to her request.”
Emyr smirked. “I’m not foolish enough to be played with.”
Charmaine beamed. “Of course, Mr. Emyr is sharp…”
Her cheerful attitude was obvious in front of him.
Just a moment ago, she had been like a hedgehog, with spikes raised on her back, full of defenses. Now, s resembled a content cat sprawled lazily, extending her paws.
Are you really that pleased?
A faint glimmer passed through Emyr’s gaze as he spoke in a suggestive tone. “Looks like you do care, afte

Charmaine caught the implication behind his words and fixed her eyes on him with a solemn expression. “Even though the choice is yours, if you decide to help the people I despise, I will see you as one of them.” Seeing her unwavering look, Emyr felt something stir within him:
He clicked his tongue. “You’re completely unreasonable.”
Charmaine lifted a brow. “Didn’t you teach me that?”
Emyr’s lips twitched slightly. He couldn’t refute her.
After all, he was just as unreasonable.
Veronica stared blankly at the phone as the repetitive beeping echoed in her ears.
She didn’t snap out of her daze until Leah’s name popped up on the screen with an incoming call. Clenching her lip between her teeth, she watched the flashing name with irritation in her eyes.
Mr. Emyr was clearly upset!
And it was all Leah’s fault!
A wave of embarrassment washed over her. She never should have listened to Leah or let herself get dragged into this situation.
She shouldn’t have pleaded with Four to
