Second Chances

After Elsie was imprisoned, Simon’s impression of Emma was average. Now that he saw that Emma actually hit someone in public, he could not help but frown in disgust. “Emma, it’s your fault for hitting her. Today is Liam’s celebration. You should apologize to Tess.”

All the guests had seen how wild Tess was today. She deserved Emma’s slap. However, since Simon had already spoken, no one dared to speak up. After all, Tess was backed by the Curry family. As for Emma, she was alone and

had no one.

Some people sighed. When the two women quarreled, the Hall family would still be more inclined to Tess, who was from a prominent background.

As for Emma, although Liam treated her as his “girlfriend”, she still had to give in to Tess. Even if Emma was the famous Youth designer, it didn’t matter.

As everyone was sighing for Emma, Liam spoke coldly, “Since today is my celebration, no one is allowed to cause trouble.”

At this point, Liam paused. His next sentence stunned everyone. “Tess, please leave.”

Tess couldn’t believe what she heard,

Tess’s “fake friends” also thought that they had misheard. They wondered what was going on. They were shocked that Liam would kick Tess out for Emma, whose family wasn’t as good.

Simon was clearly dissatisfied with Liam’s reaction. “The Hall family has rules. Since Emma wants to be your woman, she has to abide by our rules. What’s wrong with it? She lost her composure in public and hit someone. Is an apology too much for her?”

Simon’s attitude was unyielding, clearly not giving

m any way out.

Liam was about to speak when a male voice sounded. It was Jerry. He laughed mockingly. “Miss Curry is from a scholarly family. Her family is worthy of respect. But Miss Curry, you are… really brainless.”

When Jerry finished speaking, everyone thought that they were hallucinating. Jerry had scolded Tess in public for Emma. Other than Liam, Jerry was the prominent man tonight.

Everyone yearned to be recognized by Jerry to successfully finance their projects. It was could be supported by him could easily go public. And it was this low-key big shot who said that the dignified

said that companies that eldest daughter of the Curry family was brainless.

As everyone was in a daze, Jerry continued, “Miss Curry, I originally wanted to cooperate with the Curry family on account of your father’s sincerity. But seeing you today, I realized we won’t get along.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

In other words, because Tess had provoked Emma, Jerry would not invest in the Curry family.

Tess was humiliated. Not only did she not receive Liam’s favor, but she also affected her family’s business. After Jerry gave the order not to invest, other financial organizations would not lend money to the Curry family easily.

No matter how much Simon wanted to side with Tess, in this current situation, he could only bide his time.

Tess cried. “Emma is just a country bumpkin. So what if she’s Youth? How can you cut ties with the Curry family for

her? You’re so blind.”

Tess’s forthrightness made the guests’ jaws drop.

An assistant beside Jerry said, “Miss Wilson isn’t the useless country bumpkin you think she is. The money she has in our financial institution is five times your family’s assets.”

Five times. When the number was dropped, all the guests were shocked.

Recently, there had been rumors that Emma had invested in the land on Holy Mountain and her personal worth had increased greatly. However, no one dared to imagine that it had increased by five times of the Curry family.

Although the Curry family did not have much material assets, they had always had a high status. Emma had five times their family’s worth and she was so young. It was a terrifying fact.

No wonder Jerry’s attitude toward Emma from the moment she entered today was unusual. It turned out that Emma had already become a big client of their private equity group.

Jerry looked at Tess. “Even if your father is present today, he has to be polite to her. Insulting our big client is a big no-no in our company. Therefore, I will never cooperate with your family.”

After Jerry said this, everything was decided. With him taking the lead, all financial institutions would be cautious about cooperating with the Curry family. It was likely that the Curry family would not be able to do business in the country this time.

Without family support, Tess did not even have the confidence to cry. “Y-you’re bullying me.” She looked at Simon for help.

Simon silently looked away this time.

Tess was about to break down completely. She thought, “Why did this happen? My background is much better than Emma’s, but now, everyone is helping Emma.’

Tess heard everyone ridicule her quietly.

“Emma has such a powerful background,” one of them said.

“Tess embarrassed herself today,” another remarked.

“Did you see Mr. Simon’s face? It’s so red,” a third voice added.

“Yes. When Emma rebutted him, he couldn’t do anything at all…” someone commented.

“How could Mr. Simon not be able to do anything? It’s just that Mr. Liam has grown up. He’s so protective of Emma. What can he do?” a voice concluded.

The party ended badly. Liam and Emma left early and returned to Icovine Estate.

At Icovine Estate’s entrance, Emma sensed something was wrong. As an assassin, she concluded with her sharp senses that Icovine Estate was different tonight. She smiled at Liam and said, “I suddenly remembered I left something in the car. I’ll get it. Can you go in and wait for me?”

Liam did not notice anything amiss and nodded at Emma.

After Liam entered, Emma’s expression was solemn as she began to search thoroughly.

The footprints in the dirt had long been perfectly covered.

Emma determined that someone had invaded the villa through the changes in the growth line of the grass and trees on the usually uninhabited lawn behind the villa.

To cover his tracks so perfectly and infiltrate such a secure place without being discovered, he had to be a world- class assassin. His skills were not inferior to Emma’s.

Emma immediately called Josiah.

Josiah knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately got into the mood. Not long after, he found everything

Daley was the world’s second-ranked assassin on the black market. Legend had it that when Daley appeared, no one could escape.

Someone had spent so much money to hire Daley. It was obvious that they wanted Liam dead.
