Chapter 50 “Mr. Hall…” The two bodyguards hesitated, unsure whether to close the elevator doors, but Llam showed no intention of stopping. “Wait!” Emma rushed forward, holding food in her hands. “If you brought food, why not give it to me in person?* Without waiting for a response, she grabbed the handles of his wheelchair and pulled him out of the elevator. The bodyguards were stunned. “You two can go now. I’ll take care of him,” Emma said, dismissing the bodyguards and leading Liam into the fire escape. “What’s wrong? Are you mad?” Liam’s mood softened slightly as he saw B Emma leave the doctor behind to chase after him. He gently held her face, making her look at him. “You knew I’d be upset, yet you were chatting with the male doctor, huh?” “You weren’t here yet, were you?” Emma teased with a smile, seeing his darkened expression. “Just kidding. It was just a polite conversation. What were you up to last night?” “I should be asking you what you were doing last night,” Liam countered. Ads by PubFuture Emma had defeated the national boxing champion, outsmarted Vere, and even received courteous nods from the world–famous planist Darell. Now she could even dismantle bombs. Liam wondered what other surprises his wife had in store for him. Emma pursed her lips. “Last night I disarmed a little something.” “You call a bomb a little something?” Liam squinted. “I didn’t know what it was. I just couldn’t stand the thought of Uncle Sean getting hurt, so I had to face it.” Emma trailed off, finding it hard to continue her lie. “But last night, I felt someone jumping down from a helicopter to save me. Was that you?” Emma looked into Liam’s eyes. Her intuition told her it was him. Due to his injury, he hadn’t shown up all night, only coming to the hospital the next morning. Everything seemed to fall into place. Emma waited for Liam’s response. Suddenly, Liam asked, “Aren’t you hungry?” “Yeah. What did you bring?” Emma’s attention immediately shifted. Emma quickly took out the beautifully packaged snacks, still steaming. “Do you want some too?” Seeing her focus change so quickly, Liam couldn’t help but smile. “No, they’re for you.” The warm and sweet treat instantly lifted her spirits. Liam watched her, in her hospital attire, sitting on the stairs and munching like a little hamster, occasionally brushing crumbs off her pants *sit here; the ground is cold,” Liam said with concern and then gestured that she should sit on his leg Emma glanced up at him, thought for a moment, and then moved, “Fine. I’ll come over She leaned back against him and sat on his legs, then heard him say coldly, “Turn around.” “What’s wrong?” Emma asked, puzzled. Chapter 50 “I bought enough for two. Aren’t you going to share with me?” Liam said. Ads by PubFuture “Alright.” Emma rummaged through the bag again, finding several snacks. She took out a box of cookies. “How about these?” “No.” Liam refused. She then took out a bottle of beverage. “What about this?” “This one’s for you.” Liam shook his head. “What do you want to eat then?” Emma asked, Liam remained calm. “You go ahead. I’ll let you know if I want something.” “Okay.” Ignoring the darkness in his eyes, she sat on him like a little pet and ate by herself. Just then, the door to the fire escape opened. “Mr. Hall…” The person entering was Levi. He paused mid–sentence, seeing Emma straddling Liam, a bit of creamy filling lingering at the corner of her lips. Levi was taken aback by the scene. “You are… I’m sorry, Mr. Hall, I shouldn’t have disturbed you. I’ll leave now!” Emma was probably too exhausted from disarming the bomb to realize how her current actions with Liam might look to others. She couldn’t understand Levi’s exaggerated reaction. “Why did Mr. Carter act like that?” Liam, his hand–resting on Emma’s waist, said calmly, “He probably thinks we’re being a bit too intimate.” “What?” Emma felt her face heat up. Ever since she found out his legs weren’t paralyzed at the abandoned villa, she got nervous whenever things got a bit too close. She g quickly climbed off his lap. “… I’ll just sit on the floor to eat. It’s cooler down here.“” Liam maintained a mysterious smile. … Read More “Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall by Colby Stanford –

Chapter 49 As Emma plummeted through the air, a man leaped from the helicopter, catching her in a strong embrace. A familiar voice whispered in her ear, “Emma, I want you to live!” She tried to look up at him, but he held her tightly against his chest. She couldn’t see his face, but his presence was unmistakable. ‘Could it be Liam?‘ she wondered. Suddenly, a “Bang!” rang out. A bullet whizzed past Emma’s ear, slicing through the air. The man holding her grunted, and the faint smell of blood filled the air. At that moment, she realized the horrifying truth–Liam had taken a bullet for her. When Emma opened her eyes, she found herself in a hospital *Are you feeling alright? Is your vision clear? Any pain?” The questions came from a man in a white coat, standing in a beam of sunlight that made him look like an angel “You are…” Emma began. “You can call me Dr. Duncan. I’m your attending physician,” he replied with a reassuring smile. Memories of Elijah’s past betrayal made Emma cautious. “Which hospital is this? What happened at the concert? Who saved me yesterday?” Her questions were sharp, reflecting her inner turmoil. Aaron Duncan chuckled. “You’re quite interesting. Most patients first ask about their own condition, but here you are, concerned about everything else. Were you a detective or something?” Ads by PubFuture Emma didn’t respond, her gaze steady, waiting for the answers. “You’re in Troln Hospital, the best in the city,” Aaron explained, showing his ID with a smile. “The explosion didn’t happen, and your quick actions are being praised across the country. You’re quite the hero now!” Emma felt uneasy. “And where’s the person who saved me in the helicopter?” “I’m not sure about that,” Aaron admitted. “You were brought here by ambulance. Anything before that, you’d need to check with the police.” Disappointment flickered across Emma’s face, mirrored by an unexpected pang in Aaron’s heart. “Besides the police, was there anyone else involved in saving you last night?” he asked. Emma regained consciousness and murmured, “I’m not sure. Maybe I imagined it.” She thought it might have been Liam who saved her, but she couldn’t be sure. Suddenly, Emma remembered something important–if Liam had been shot saving her, a wound on his shoulder would confirm it was him, Eager to call Liam, Emma reached for her phone only to find it dead. “Your phone’s battery is drained,” Aaron informed her gently. “You can use your uncle’s phone once he’s finished with the paperwork.” “My uncle’s here too?” Emma asked, surprised. “Yes,” Aaron replied with a smile. “He’s been by your side for over twenty–four hours, making every nurse in the department quite jealous.” Emma’s lips twitched into a wry smile. It was almost unheard of for a celebrity like Sean to stay in a hospital that long. 08:28 Mon, 8 Jul W sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Chapter 48 “Even if it costs me my life, I have to do this.” Emma ignored Josiah’s frantic warnings. Josiah failed to fully grasp the catastrophic potential of the looming explosion. However, Emma knew the grim reality all too well. She had witnessed the aftermath in her previous life. As she hurried through the crowd, images haunted her–the newspaper photos of Sean, his features obliterated by burns, and the list of victims: a high school student fresh from graduation, a couple who had just celebrated their long–awaited engagement, a son who had brought his terminally ill mother to enjoy what might be their last concert together. These were ordinary people, living their lives with simple hopes and dreams, all cruelly cut short by a merciless explosion. Behind the countless victims lay a world of shattered families. Sean, once vibrant and full of life, had spent his later years in a vegetative state, a shadow of his former sell. weighing heavily on her heart, Emma was resolved–she would prevent this tragedy at any cost, even if it meant facing Ads by PubFuture With these thoughts we death herself “Boss, I found it! It’s on the west side of the roof, D29, at ten o’clock!” Josiah reported. “Got it!” Emma left the concert and sprinted toward the roof. With Josiah’s guidance, she quickly located the bomb. The roof’s surface was soft and tricky to navigate. Emma, relying on her athletic prowess, crawled across the expansive, slippery roof. There seemed to be nothing special here. Everything appeared normal at first glance, “Boss, there’s nothing here,” Josiah said. “Look.” Emma rotated the camera in her hand. Josiah gasped. “It’s… it’s C41” “Yeah, it’s tucked inside the steel framework in a massive black box,” Emma added. C4, known for its devastating power, could send shockwaves strong enough to severely damage structures. Emma’s face set into a determined expression as she pulled out her tools, ready to disarm the bomb, “Boss, this isn’t safe. The police are on their way, and the roof can’t bear much weight. You need to get off here, now!” Josiah warned. By then, Emma was in a precarious position, practically suspended in mid–air. With half of her body leaning out over the edge, she barely managed to reach the black box. Any slight mistake could trigger the explosion, potentially killing her and many others. Emma clenched her teeth. “Don’t worry. I’ve got this.” Her past experiences in high–stakes situations had taught her a crucial lesson–to survive, one must face fear head–on. The greater the danger, the calmer she became. Josiah recognized that expression on Emma’s face–it meant things were serious. It had been ages since he’d seen her look so resolved. Trained in bomb disposal, Emma knew the risks involved. Not only was her physical safety on the line, but the mental strain was enormous. Any error could be catastrophic, endangering thousands. Taking a deep breath, Emma kept her hands steady as she methodically worked on the bomb. Her bold yet careful approach made deciphering and disarming the device manageable, despite its complexity. Ads by PubFuture Below, the concert had started. Although she wasn’t in her seat, the music’s vibrations reached her, mingling with the tension of her task.

He was supposed to meet Emma, but the congestion had delayed him. As they finally passed the last traffic light, Levi’s phone rang, his face draining of color as he reported, “Mr. Hall, there’s trouble! The police just called about a dangerous object near the arena. They’re blocking roads and evacuating the area.” Liam’s eyes widened, “Stop the car; we need to go now!” “Mr. Hall!” Levi tried to intervene, but it was too late. With Emma still potentially in danger, Liam couldn’t just wait. Meanwhile, the police were on their way. On the roof, Emma continued her work, unaware that the threat was already looming. “You foolish woman…” The person was ready to pull the trigger, but Josiah’s sharp senses caught on. “Boss, get down!” Josiah roared. Reacting almost on instinct, Emma ducked, narrowly avoiding the bullet. The threat was neutralized swiftly, and darkness reclaimed the scene. “What’s behind me?” Emma asked without turning her head, her focus unwavering as she continued to work on the bomb. … Read More “Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall by Colby Stanford –

It’s in a great spot–I’ll be able to spot you from the stage easily. If you need “Thank you, Uncle Sean!” Emma said with a smile. Sean doted on Emma, treating her like a child. Emma, who had long craved familial warmth, basked in the affection of her uncle, eagerly anticipating the concert, Yet, as Emma entered the venue, a nagging sense of unease crept over her. It felt like she was overlooking something crucial. Compelled by this feeling, she called Josiah. “Josiah, I need you to do something for me.” “Boss, aren’t you supposed to be enjoying the concert right now? What’s so urgent?” Josiah’s voice crackled through the phone; he was in the middle of hacking into a major building’s control system in Nuverland, and her call had caught him off–guard. “I need you to check out this venue,” Emma instructed. “Seriously, a concert venue? It’s not as critical as the main building I’m in right now. Boss, you’re really pushing it… Josiah’s tone mixed frustration with disbelief. Ads by PubFuture “Am I not the boss anymore?

Though she couldn’t recall ever visiting this venue in a previous life, her instincts screamed that something was off. “Boss, I’ve got news!” Josiah’s urgent voice came through soon after. “You need to get everyone out now! It’s very dangerous!” “What?” Emma’s heart sank. Her intuition had been right. “What did you find?” “I intercepted some chatter on the black market. There’s a high bounty for an explosion at this venue today!” Josiah exclaimed. Emma’s heart raced as memories from her previous life flooded back. It was during this period in her previous life that a devastating terrorist attack had rocked the city. At that time, Emma was deep undercover in a foreign secret organization, isolated from the world. Despite this, she learned of a terrorist plot targeting a megastar’s concert attended by a hundred thousand fans. The attack resulted in thousands of casualties. The star survived but was left severely burned, paralyzed, and disfigured in his attempt to save his fans. Emma could never have guessed that the star would be her uncle. In her previous life, she had seen horrific images of him, bloodied and burned, never realizing the connection. “Boss, you need to get your uncle to start evacuating people now!” Josiah warned, “It’s too late, Emma said through clenched teeth. The venue was already packed with nearly a hundred thousand fans. Starting an evacuation now would cause chaos and might not prevent a disaster. Moreover, if the attack proceeded, Sean’s career and freedom were at risk. Besides, he had always been adamant about not leaving until every fan was safe. “Get everyone on this immediately, I need the enemy’s location in five minutes!” Emma ordered.

Chapter 46 Brad might not have the same prowess as Liam did at his peak, but it was widely acknowledged that Liam’s influence had waned, and now, Brad was the one calling the shots. He stood at the helm of the Hall family. Now, Sean boldly called Brad a lapdog, silencing everyone present. They wondered if Sean was too confident or maybe he just cared too much about Emma. Kate was quick to shift the blame to Emma, but Sean wouldn’t allow it to happen. He fixed his gaze on Kate and challenged her, “Really? You claim she plagiarized. Where’s your proof?” Caught off guard, Kate stumbled over her words. “I… I don’t have any! But I’m sure it’s beyond her capabilities. I’m her teacher. Shouldn’t! know?” Just then, Emma stepped forward, holding a voice recorder. “You might not have proof of me cheating, but I have proof of your corruption.” With everyone’s eyes on her, she played the recording of Kate’s private conversation with her earlier. “You’re compromising fairness and ethics over personal dislike? People like you shouldn’t be in charge of anything at Vark College.” Emma’s voice sounded. “Hold on. If you want your grade changed, I can give you a chance. Just give me your ticket to Starry’s concert,” came Kate’s sly voice. The room erupted in gasps. People stared at Kate in disbelief, her face cycling from pale to a flushed red with anger. The recording didn’t stop there. Ads by PubFuture “You think I’d trade the ticket for my grade? You’re delusional.” It was Emma’s voice. “A zero in this school means a call to the parents, I know you dread dealing with your family the most,” came Kate’s retort. “Fine, keep your ticket. But remember, you defied your teacher and scored zero–don’t expect me to show you mercy when you get expelled.” “Stop it! Turn it off!” Kate couldn’t bear it any longer and blurted out in her defense. “This recording is fake, Emma, you’re framing me!” “Is that so?” Emma retorted with a smirk. “Miss Johnson, guess what? I also have a video.” Kate, usually so composed in front of the school administrators, stood exposed, her misconduct drawing concerned looks from the office staff. “Miss Johnson, your actions were clearly out of line,” a teacher said, shaking his head in disappointment. “It’s ridiculous!” the dean declared sternly. “We don’t need to discuss this further. If Emma hadn’t kept evidence, we could have misjudged her. Miss Johnson, you need to leave now.” “You can’t fire mel” Kate exclaimed, her eyes flashing with anger. “I’m Brad’s girlfriend! He’ll have your school shut downl Sean watched the drama unfold and couldn’t suppress a chuckle. “Stop making a fool of yourself. Brad can hardly take care of his own issues, let alone shut down a school for you.” Kate bit her lip, her mind racing back to the night she had confided in Brad about Emma, remembering his indifferent response. It was obvious he wasn’t going to help her against Emma. As Kate’s expression darkened, Emma remained poised and collected. She waited for Sean before she presented her evidence, sealing Kate’s fate. After the confrontation, some school officials approached Sean to discuss potential collaborations. Sean directed them to his manager and Chapter 46 Ads by PubFuture turned his full attention to Emma. “Emma, you’re so smart, just like your mom,” Sean said with a fond smile, his admiration for her evident.

Chapter 45 “Finel” Kate snapped, her voice dripping with malice. “Just you wait! A zero in this school means a call to the parents. I know you dread dealing with your family the most.” Emma was taken aback by Kate’s audacity to use such a threat over a mere concert ticket. The thought of her parents getting involved did unsettle her. She was keen on keeping her relationship with Liam under wraps a bit longer. Emma turned to leave when her phone buzzed with a call from an unknown number. She answered cautiously, “Hello?” “Emma, are you at school right now?” a man asked. “Uncle Sean, is that you?” Emma recognized the voice as her third uncle’s, recalling the letter from Sean. “I was supposed to attend an event at your school tonight, but I’ve canceled it to come see you instead!” Sean said. Emma, already stressed about Kate’s threat, responded, “That sounds great, Uncle Sean, but I’m in a bit of a situation here… After Emma ended the call, Kate’s curiosity got the better of her. “Who was that on the phone?” With a shrug, Emma retorted, “You were eager to involve my family, right? Well, one of them is already here. Let’s head to the administration Ads by PubFuture office!” “Your family?” Kate was confused. She always thought of Emma’s father, Mateo, as distant and uncaring, especially now with the Wilson family’s financial troubles. His presence would likely be more embarrassing than helpful “Fine, keep your ticket.” Kate sneered. “But remember, you defied your teacher and scored zero–don’t expect me to show you mercy when you get expelled.” Emma ignored Kate’s threats and walked confidently toward the administration office. Inside the administration office, various staff members of Vark College were gathered as Kate began to dramatically portray Emma’s supposed misconduct and previous altercations with Ruby. The administration was deep in discussion about how to proceed. “The school policy is clear,” the dean of students said, his tone serious. “A student who scores zero on a major assessment should be suspended for a month. However, Emma has consistently shown excellent academic performance. It’s puzzling why she would receive a zero solely in your art class.” Kate was confident. “This was my first time teaching them. I asked Emma to paint in class, but she didn’t even show up. And take a look at her written assignment–it’s clearly beyond her skill level. Our entire art department agrees that it’s likely plagiarized or ghostwritten!” Accusations of academic dishonesty were severe, carrying potential repercussions for both the student’s integrity and the college’s reputation. The dean adjusted his glasses. “Emma, can you respond to these allegations?” Emma, lounging back in her chair with her usual defiant air, replied, “I don’t need to explain myself, It’s simple–today, if Kate is not leaving. then I will.” The room fell into an uneasy silence. Kate,/backed by the influential Hall family, was not to be trifled with. No one dared cross the Hall family, and technically, Kate hadn’t broken any school rules to warrant expulsion. Seeing Emma remain silent, Kate smirked. “I didn’t come to Vark College on a whim. I’m not going anywhere–so maybe you should leave Chapter 45 right now.” Mon, 8 Kate was confident, especially knowing Emma wouldn’t likely call on Liam for help. Ads by PubFuture But just then, a confident voice interrupted from the doorway. “Is that so?” Heads turned toward the entrance. A man stood there, imposing at nearly 6’3“, dressed in white sportswear accented with flashy silver jewelry. His presence was charming. Even Emma, usually unfazed by drama, was taken aback by the sudden shift in the room’s atmosphere. “Emma,” said Sean as he strolled in, flanked by bodyguards and agents, his entrance grand and domineering. “Uncle Sean,” Emma greeted him in a soft voice. Sean removed his sunglasses, unveiling a strikingly handsome face. Emma, dressed in her school uniform of a mid–length pleated skirt and a white blouse, had her hair pulled back into a high ponytail, lending her an air of cool elegance. Sean’s eyes lit up with pride. “Well, there’s the Rivera family spirit, my little princess!” Kate, caught off guard, stared at the man talking with Emma. Her heart skipped a beat. ‘Isn’t this guy Starry?‘ she exclaimed inwardly. Despite usually carrying herself with poise, Kate felt suddenly plain and unremarkable in his presence. Sean’s gaze shifted to Kate. “And who might you be?” “She’s the art teacher I told you about,” Emma quickly filled him in, having already briefed Sean over the phone. Sean’s warm demeanor turned frosty. “So, you’re the ugly woman who unfairly targeted Emma and marked her Kate’s face flushed with embarrassment when Sean called her an “ugly woman, a comment that made the other teachers in the room clear their throats with embarrassment. “Mr. Rivera, we weren’t aware of your connection to Emma.

Holding a front–row ticket, Emma suddenly became the center of attention, almost revered by her classmates. Kate, despite not fully grasping the ticket’s significance, knew well of Starry’s fame. The singer had maintained a veil of mystery around his personal life, never revealing his real name or personal details, yet he had captivated fans for a decade with his talent. Moreover, he was not just a pop icon; he was also strikingly handsome and incredibly wealthy, rumored to be worth over 20 million dollars more than Kate’s entire family fortune. “Emma, where did you get this ticket?” Kate asked, her voice tinged with disbelief. “Is that any of your business?” Emma retorted, clutching the ticket as she walked away. Kate watched her leave, then glanced down at the broken perfume bottles at her feet, frustration mounting. She was desperate to attend Starry’s concert and knew she had to find a way to get a ticket. Meanwhile, Emma was on her phone, looking up Starry. The photos she found showed a man who looked cold yet incredibly charming- strikingly similar to Daniel. But as she continued to search, she realized this was actually her third uncle, Sean Rivera. Emma was astonish to discover that her third uncle was a music industry legend, That same night, Kate visited Brad in his opulent apartment.

Brad’s interest was piqued slightly at the mention of Liam. “So what?” “She pushed me and smashed my things on the ground. She’s just too rude.

She continued to disparage both Liam and Emma, hoping to sway Brad to her side. Brad sneered, his amusement tinged with disdain. Kate glanced at Brad’s reflection in the mirror, taking in his chiseled abs and striking physique. A frown creased her forehead. “Aren’t you upset? Your girlfriend was bullied! It was that despicable couple again!” After drying his hands, Brad turned to face her with a piercing gaze. “First off, you’re not my wife. And secondly.” His tone grew colder. “I got you into Vark College, but you can’t even handle someone like Emma on your own. Do you really expect me to sort out such petty issues for you?” “But aren’t I your girlfriend?” Kate’s eyes welled up with tears. “When Emma gets into trouble, Liam is always there to defend her. Why don’t you stand up for me after she bullied me? You hate them, don’t you?” “Enough!” Brad’s voice was sharp, his disdain for Kate growing.

It should be at your school’s reception right now. Check it out during your lunch break.” “Another gift?” Emma chuckled.

Liam quickly sensed her nervousness, his voice muffled. “Awake?” “Well… How am I supposed to sleep when you’re kissing me like that?” Emma said. “I thought you were going to pretend to be asleep.” Liam’s half–joking tone made it hard to gauge what he was really thinking. “To avoid me make out with you.” “It’s not like we can’t make out.” Emma maintained her composure. “Mr. Hall. Do you want it?” “Very much so.” What Liam really wanted to say was, “I’ve been thinking making out with you for a long time. Since the day you moved into my house, my mind has been filled with all sorts of images like this‘ He had restrained himself for so long, and it was already the limit of his strong willpower. He thought to himself, “You don’t want me to know your secret but it’s fine if I tell you mine.” Feeling Liam’s breathing becoming more and more rapid, Emma felt a bit nervous. Just as Liam was about to move his whole body and flip over to press her down fiercely, she suddenly burrowed into his embrace, hugged his waist, and at the same time, lay him on his side on the bed. “Don’t worry. We have a long life ahead to make out.” Her sudden embrace took Liam by surprise, interrupting his original action, and there was a moment of silence in the air. Their bodies were pressed together, and even the rise and fall of each other’s breath could be clearly felt. She felt his hot, big hand stop moving. After a while, he also hugged her from behind, indulgently patting her shoulder gently. Emma was still thinking about last night’s events when she went to class the next day. If it hadn’t been for her sudden move last night, Liam might have already revealed the secret of his legs/it was not that she didn’t want him to be honest, but if he was open and she kept her secret, she would feel guilty. “Just wait a little longer… thought she. The atmosphere in the classroom today was a bit strange. Emma sensed that everyone seemed to be whispering about something, yet they deliberately avoided her. It wasn’t until after the first class in the morning that the homeroom teacher personally came to Emma’s classroom door. “Emma, come with me to the office now.” Upon arriving at the office, Emma was met by two uniformed police officers. She glanced at the homeroom teacher, and the officers said, “We’ve received a call from your parents saying your sister has been missing for at least three days and nights. Have you seen your sister, or 84% Ads by PubFuture Chapter 42 perhaps do you have any information about her? “No,” Emma replied, her gaze unflinching, her expression so resolute that it took the officers slightly aback. … Read More “Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall by Colby Stanford –

Her arulety Leaping onto that rusted steel building was her only chance to escape, but it was clearly dilapidated, and she doubted it could withstand the impact of her jump. If the building collapsed, she would likely be crushed, her internal organs bleeding, meeting a gruesome end, “Still not talking?” Liam continued to approach. “I’ll ask once more. Who sent you here?” Clearly, Liam thought Emma had come to rescue Aria. Moreover, any stranger who stumbled upon Liam’s deeds would face a fate worse than death. “You have three seconds.

Almost simultaneously, Liam instinctively reached out and grabbed her wrist tightly, just like that day he had held her in Watery Garden when she jumped from the cliff behind the mountain, nearly falling off the edge. At that time, Liam had firmly grasped her wrist and shouted, “Hold on to mel” But this time, Emma didn’t hold on to Liam’s hand. She bit down hard on the fleshy part of his hand, and he released her involuntarily due to the pain. She soon fell downward, landing with a thud on the ground. It was the second floor, not very high, but her landing posture was limited, and despite her curling up to cushion the fall, she still felt a burning pain in her spine. Liam watched her escape into the night. Two figures swiftly passed by Liam’s side; his subordinates were about to chase after Emma, but he stopped them. “No need to follow.” “But her…” Liam’s subordinate was cut off before finishing the sentence.His gaze coldly swept over his men. “They’ve already arranged people around us; haven’t you noticed?” The subordinates remained silent, ashamed. Indeed, without Liam’s reminder, they had not detected anything. Liam had a suspect in mind but wasn’t sure. “Let’s go back to lovine Estate now.” “What about the woman in the villa. “Liam’s subordinate reminded him.
