Emily was in a terrible state.
She did not like either of those choices.
She absolutely could not accept them!
Even though Duke Eton’s heart was as hard as stone right now, and he had said that he would never give the child his inheritance, she was sure that once he saw the child’s soft face and sweet appearance, everything would be fine.
Now that she was pregnant, even if they knew that she committed a crime, they and the law could not do anything to her.
At this thought, Emily stretched out her neck. “I didn’t leak the information! I certainly didn’t want to hurt Sunny! I know that you love your two adopted daughters. How could I ever plot against them? Mr. Duke, I beg you to believe me! I really didn’t do anything. I love you! I want to be Miss Sunny and Miss Selena’s stepmother. I’ll take care of them like they’re my own children!”
“Thank you, but no need for that! I don’t want a stepmother like you. And don’t even think about using my name now. You and my father aren’t even married yet, and you’re already a stepmother. Aren’t you thinking too far ahead?”
“I…”
“Since Miss Emily isn’t willing to make a choice, I’ll help her choose. I’ve always liked to use facts to get my revenge. Since Miss Emily isn’t an honest person,you leave me no other choice.”
After saying that, Nangong Nuannuan stood up and instructed Charles. “Escort her into the multi-purpose hall.”
“Yes.”
The two bodyguards did not show any mercy as they escorted her. Emily was furious and struggled with all her might. “Sunny, I’m not a criminal. You don’t have the right to treat me like this!”
Nangong Nuannuan turned around and smiled at Emily. “Just ask my father. Do I have the final say in the duke’s residence?”
“Yes, you do.” Before Emily could ask herself, the duke answered in a sweet tone.
“But I’m not a criminal. What you’re doing is illegal! I can go to the police and sue you!”
“Sue me? Sue me for what?”
“You’re illegally detaining me!” Emily answered angrily. Her knowledge of the law had clearly come from some cheap novels.
“Illegally detaining? Who am I detaining? Do you guys see anything?”
The others in the room shook their heads and pretended to be blind.
Emily, “…!!!”
After entering the multi-purpose hall, Nangong Nuannuan grabbed the laptop on the table and quickly pulled up all the surveillance camera footage in the duke’s residence.
Emily’s eyes widened when she saw the scene of her eavesdropping behind a corner upstairs .
She had not noticed any surveillance cameras!
Nangong Nuannuan looked at Emily with a smile. “Why are you so surprised? Are you stupid? My father is a duke, and the Empress favors your brother. There are many people who want to kill him. The Duke’s residence is so big. How could there be no surveillance cameras around?
“Besides ordinary surveillance cameras that normal people can see, I’ve also installed tens of thousands of the most advanced surveillance technology in the world in the Duke’s residence. The entirety of the Duke’s mansion is probably covered by surveillance, with no blind spots. Even my father’s bedroom has cameras.”
Emily was completely dumbfounded. She could not help but yell, “Y-you’re a pervert!”
“Whether I’m a pervert or not is irrelevant. This is to protect my father’s life. If someone decides to be really stupid and breaks into the mansion to capture my father, I can find out who kidnapped him through the surveillance footage. It’s also a warning to all the residence’s servants to not try anything stupid, because they will definitely be caught if they do. Miss Emily, do you think you’ll be caught today?”
