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.
