After Emily walked out of the tea house, her tough look disappeared instantly. She staggered along the road with her handbag in her hand. Thinking of what Deborah said to her earlier, she couldn’t help but feel angry and upset, tears started to well up in her eyes too.
Emily couldn’t help but start to think. She had always been kind to others in her life and had never done anything evil. She always gave a helping hand to the people who needed help. She had always thought that one good turn deserved another but why was she still so miserable?
She had lost her love, her career, and even reputation. She had been hiding in Misurton since then, not daring to show her face.
She had already given in, why was the Floyd family still refusing to let her go?
For a minute, Emily really wanted to reveal everything to the public. She wanted to announce Thomas’s identity for the Floyd family to know.
There was still no man in the Floyd family so far. Emily thought that Thomas was so capable, if the Floyd family knew that he belonged to them, they would do everything they could to take Thomas back to their family.
Emily wanted her son to enter the Floyd family rightfully and take over the family’s business. She wanted to have it under her control so that Deborah, who had always looked down upon her, would shut up.
However, the idea just flashed in her mind for a few minutes. After Emily recalled everything she had encountered, the accusation, and the treatment she received, she immediately gave up.
Fame and power were not what Emily wanted. What she wanted most was to see the person she cared about happy and safe. To her, nothing was more important than Thomas’ happiness. She thought that it was best to keep things as they were now. She figured she could bear all the hardships and pain alone.
After walking aimlessly on the road for a long time, Emily felt a dull pain in the soles of her feet so she stopped walking.
Suddenly, a car stopped beside her. The driver lowered the window and said to Emily enthusiastically, “Ma’am, do you need a ride? It’s very cheap!”
Emily hesitated for a moment and was about to agree when a black car also came and stopped next to her, “Ma’am, my car is also very cheap, you can get in my car!”
“Why is there a person like you? You’re being so rude, don’t you know first come first served?” The owner of the car who came first was unhappy and scolded the other car owner.
“Does the lady want to sit in your car? No, right? Since no, it is fair to compete then. I am an experienced driver with good driving skills, and my car is better than yours. It is no bad for this lady to have one more choice!” The car owner later said confidently.
Then, the two men started to quarrel over the business. The owner of the second car had a bad temper, after quarreling for short while, he got out of the car and then beat the driver in front of him up.
Although the guy who came later looked thin and small, who was totally different from the first car owner who looked tall and strong, he was good at fighting.
He knocked down the car owner in front of him in the blink of an eye. The tall and strong car owner was badly beaten and his mouth and nose were even bleeding. Emily was shocked, she totally did not expect that such a thing would happen.
The two men were fighting over for business so Emily thought that she could not stand by and watch so she immediately called the police.
The car owner who was beaten ignored his bleeding. He got up and left in a panic after seeing that Emily had called the cops.
On the opposite, the guy who beat him up did not leave and even asked Emily, “Do you want to get in my car? The ride is really cheap. Where are you going? I can send you there!”
How would Emily dare to get in his car? She thought that he was scary, if he had bad intentions, it would be the end of her. So, she waved her hand and refused him.
Unexpectedly, the car owner did not pester her anymore. Instead, he smiled and reminded Emily when he started his car, “I am not afraid of the police because I have done nothing wrong. But some people are different, just like that guy just now. He looks like a gentleman, but who knows what he did in private? Maybe he is secretly doing something like killing and robbing.”
Emily was shocked by his word and she replied, “We’re living in a society ruled by law. It’s not as serious as you said.”
“That’s not necessarily true. You see, he must have been frightened when he heard that you called the police,” The man smiled as he continued, “You know what? I know how to read people and I am very accurate. Usually, I don’t read people for free. But seeing that you are so kind, I will read your face for free. Listen, you have to be careful recently, you may encounter something really dangerous. However, if you can stay at home and don’t go anywhere, as well as stay away from strangers, you’ll be able to avoid it.”
The man then left after saying it. Emily was stunned there for a moment. She somewhat felt that there was something wrong with his words, but she couldn’t say that what was wrong with it.
After what happened, Emily did not dare to stay any longer. She immediately took a taxi to the high-speed rail station.
After Emily got on the taxi, a black car parked on the roadside immediately started and followed up.
In Acma Corporation, Hardy closed the file annoyingly and looked up at Bevan, “There is still no news from Talitha and Natasya?”
Bevan shook his head and replied, “No, Talitha has been recovering in the hospital since she got injured. Oh ya, she went out once yesterday, to find Raymond. After that, she went to find Gavin, and then was sent back to the hospital by Gavin’s bodyguards.”
“Why did she go to see Raymond? She’s not trying to get Raymond to help her, is she?” Hardy mocked.
“It’s possible though, but how could Raymond help her? Is he stupid? The Anderson family is extremely vicious. Raymond is not an idiot, why would he still help her when he’s being schemed?”
“Well, it’s hard to say. The enemy of the enemy is a friend. It depends on whether Talitha has anything that can make Raymond change his mind.”
After Hardy finished his words, his frown deepened. He thought that he had made it clear when he went to find Talitha that day. No matter what Talitha had to take action. Yet, Talitha did not do anything since that day. Hardy wondered if she was going to give up.
If that was the case, wouldn’t his plan fail again?
Hardy couldn’t sit still anymore after that. He pushed the documents away and stood up, “No, I have to go to the hospital to see Talitha! I need to know what is she thinking. If she’s planning to give up, I have to do something!”
Bevan immediately followed Hardy out. They took the elevator to the underground parking lot. After getting in the car, Hardy ordered Bevan, “Go to the florist to buy flowers first! Get the most expensive flowers since both the hypocritical sisters like these things.”
Bevan replied and drove out of the parking lot. In a sudden, a car came and stopped in front of them.
Bevan was startled, he stepped on the brake instantly. He was about to swear when the car in front of them rolled down the window and Raymond’s head popped out. When Bevan saw that it was Raymond, he quickly swallowed the swear words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Raymond looked at Hardy with disdain, “Hardy Anthony, you are really shameless!”
