318 Help from Neighbors

Emily turned around and left.

When she returned to the house, she saw a crowd gathered at the door.

There were many familiar faces among them.

Just as she was about to walk over, someone gently grabbed her arm. "Emily... Is it really you? Emily, you’ve finally come back!"

Emily smiled and greeted her. "Hello."

The woman holding her hand was the same one who had just made Sophia speechless.

The woman clung to her hand, speaking continuously. "It’s good that you’re back. Just now, Sophia tried to buy something and didn’t pay. We all saw her news. You shouldn’t bother with her anymore. Just live your own life well. She’s not worth it."

The woman's voice was loud, and many people around heard her.

They all came over to greet Emily.

Emily had been away for five years.

She had transformed from a naive twenty-one-year-old girl into a mature woman.

Although her demeanor had changed, her appearance was still the same, making it easy for people to recognize her.
