"Gilbert, you... I..." Emma stammered incoherently.
For so many years, although she was never officially Mrs. Watson, her status in the Watson family was nearly equivalent. Gilbert had always treated her well. Whatever she wanted, he would grant, and even if she made mistakes, as long as they weren't serious, he'd let them go.
But today, he was clearly different. The aura radiating from him reeked of death.
Trembling with fear, Emma stood up and forced a smile onto her pale face. "Gilbert, I…"
"Speak. What happened to Adam? What really happened today?" Gilbert's cold and cutting gaze bore into her as he questioned her with murderous intent.
Emma flinched violently, trying to make excuses. "Gil... Gilbert, I-I swear, I didn't…"
"Emma!" Gilbert roared, his eyes burning with fury. "I've already seen the surveillance footage."
