Rejected Heiress, Reigning Queen novel Chapter 331

The next day, the resort was indeed completely empty. Emma had specifically asked Jeff, and besides Raymond and Pamela who were still in the recuperation area, everyone else had left.

Emma finally had a peaceful vacation, but she discovered one person who hadn't left.

"Those people know you've been here. Why are you still staying?"

Emma gently chewed on her juice straw, looking at Gavin York warily.

Gavin raised an eyebrow. "Looking for some peace and quiet."

Emma scoffed. Gavin continued, "Besides, you and Carter are enjoying your romantic getaway. Me staying here to protect your friend is a show of my sincerity in apologizing."

"You, protect her?"

Emma didn't think Jocelyn needed protection. She wasn't some fragile flower.

"Although I haven't gone out of my way to look into the Lockwoods' business, you've run into plenty of trouble since you came back. Car crashes and explosions sound dangerous enough, and the Reynolds and Vance families have both been tangled in thorny issues. I don't think that's a coincidence."

Gavin was being very straightforward. Emma asked, "So you think someone is going to target Jocelyn?"

"If I were the one trying to deal with you, I'd dismantle your power base. Right now, your two senior colleagues are stuck abroad with various issues. The next target is either Jocelyn or Carter."

Gavin finished and smiled again.

"Plus, I have my own selfish motives."

He looked toward Jocelyn King, who was walking over under a parasol, and said without any hesitation, "I want to pursue Jocelyn."

"Cough, cough..."

Emma choked on her juice and bent over, coughing.

Did she hear that right?

What did Gavin just say?

"Do you know that Jocelyn has a boyfriend?"
