Emma choked on her own saliva, feeling embarrassed at how her thoughts were exposed.
How could someone who seemed so aloof and unapproachable repeatedly break character in front of her?
"I-I just came here to quietly find someone and do something."
She couldn't really explain what that something was.
But Elijah spoke up, "I can help you find whoever you're looking for."
The Johnson Family was a powerful force in the city and finding someone in a bar was a piece of cake for him.
"Really?"
Emma immediately thanked him, "Thank you, bro-"
"Not a problem."
Elijah smirked and with a wave of his hand, one of his men approached them respectfully, "Master Johnson, your orders?"
He looked at Emma and she gave him the name Thomas, reminding him, "I just need to know where he is, no need for any commotion."
"Understood."
The man immediately retreated.
Within three minutes, the message was sent back.
Thomas was very cautious and chose the most secluded private room in the bar for the transaction. He also entered the room very discreetly, hiding himself very well.
If she hadn't met Elijah this time, she was afraid she wouldn't even be able to find him.
Thinking of this, Emma was even more grateful, "Thank you, brother. I'll go now, and I'll treat you to a meal another day."
It was the same old excuse.
Elijah raised an eyebrow.
This ungrateful girl always gave him empty promises.
He still had things to do and couldn't stay here all the time.
Elijah looked in the direction Emma had left and left two people behind, "You two follow her quietly and protect her. Also, see what she's up to."
The few followers who followed were somewhat surprised. They never thought that the always cold and unfeeling Johnson Family Sixth Master would have such a gentle side.
He made an exception to care for a little girl and even secretly protect her.
Rare, very rare!!
The two followers were stunned for a moment before bowing their heads and responding, "Yes."
After Emma found out where Thomas was, she calmed down and calculated the time. She even went to the women's restroom calmly midway.
In the women's restroom, two heavily made-up women were touching up their makeup, wearing black short skirts and long black stockings.
Emma walked over and took out several stacks of red bills from her bag.
"Let's make a deal," she said.
The two women looked at her in confusion.
"This is a deposit. After the job is done, I'll double it," Emma continued.
"What do you want us to do?" one of the women asked.
"It's simple," Emma smiled and whispered her request.
...
In the most inconspicuous private room of the De Nice Bar, Thomas watched as the other party signed their name, and he signed his name at the bottom with an excited heart!
This secret contract could easily bring him a revenue of 60 million.
A full 60 million!
Thomas had never seen so much money in his life, and his heart was pounding.
After everything was settled, the seller took his contract and left the private room quietly.
Thomas remained seated in the room, but his mood was soaring like never before.
After calming down for a quarter of an hour, he walked out of the private room with a red face and burst into laughter.
However, as soon as he walked out, he bumped into two beautiful women with curvy figures...
Feeling a bit frisky, Thomas couldn't resist teasing them, "Would you like to come with me tonight?"
If it were in the past, Thomas would never dare to say such things. One reason was because his wife Scarlett kept a tight rein on him, and the other reason was because he didn't have any money in his pocket, so he didn't have the confidence to act like a big shot.
But now things were different. He was also a millionaire, so what's wrong with having two women accompany him for a night? It was just a matter of spending money, and he had plenty of it!
The two women giggled and pushed him lightly, their voices sweet and charming. "Oh, you're so annoying," they scolded playfully.
Despite their words, they leaned into Thomas's embrace.
He never expected it to be so easy. Thomas was thrilled beyond words!
Money really could make the world go round! He had been acting like a fool in front of Benjamin for so many years, but now he had finally succeeded.
Before this, Thomas had been a little worried that this risky business might end in disaster if it was exposed. But with the warm and tender bodies of the two women in his arms, he cast aside all his worries.
The three of them took a taxi to a nearby hotel.
Thomas had never been so excited in his life.
But when he woke up the next day, he found himself alone in the room.
They left?
Thomas was a little confused, but when he thought about what had happened yesterday, he was so excited that he hummed a tune and even lit a cigarette without thinking.
Halfway through the cigarette, he suddenly remembered something and jumped up to check his briefcase. But there was nothing in it...
The contract with his signature was missing.
Upon checking his bank account, it was discovered that six million had been transferred into his personal account and disappeared without a trace yesterday.
Thomas turned pale and sat down on the ground with a thud.
The cigarette in his hand fell onto the hotel carpet, burning a hole, but he didn't even notice.
At this moment, all Thomas could think was that it was over. Everything was over.
...
On her first night in the dormitory, Emma slept well.
She even had a dream.
In the dream, she whipped Isabella and William all night long.
She whipped until her arms were sore, but she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Then...
Elijah appeared out of nowhere, grabbed her hand, and said with a murderous look, "Who gave you the courage to touch my people?!"
And then he went for her neck!
Emma woke up instantly.
Her heart was still pounding.
If it weren't for this dream, she would have almost forgotten that Elijah was William's uncle, and compared to her, he was a member of a united and loving family!
If she were to go after William now, Elijah, who might have been willing to help her, could become her enemy...
Emma sat up and took several deep breaths.
Emma shrugged and forgot about the dream. After washing her face, she opened the door and walked out, coincidentally bumping into her neighbor William who had just come out of his room.
Emma didn't even look at him and walked down the stairs without a word. William frowned, noticing the huge difference in Emma's behavior towards him.
He used to be greeted with excitement and playfulness, but now she was like a stranger.
William asked where she had been the night before, as he had seen her leaving the campus late at night.
Emma replied with a curt "none of your business". Before William could say anything else, Isabella came in with breakfast and invited him to eat with her, offering him his favorite egg tarts.
At this point, Emma had already walked away.
William had to hold back the words he wanted to say.
But Isabella was particularly good at reading people's expressions, and seeing that he didn't look too good, she asked with concern, "Brother William, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?
Why do you look so bad..."
After thinking for a moment, William couldn't help but ask, "Isabella, does your sister often go out late at night?"
"Uh..."
Isabella was taken aback, and immediately became alert.
In fact, this was the first time William had asked her about Emma.
This was not a good sign.
Isabella's eyes flickered, and she stammered with remorse on her face--
"Yes, my sister often goes out late at night. I often advise her, but she doesn't listen to me. She always drinks and hangs out with those unreliable guys outside. I'm really worried that she, as a girl, will be taken advantage of..."
The Taylor Family has always been traditional and conservative, and they are least tolerant of such behavior.
Sure enough, after she finished speaking, William's face looked even worse.
"Why did you suddenly ask about this, Brother William?"
"It's nothing, just asking casually."
Looking at William's disgusted face, Isabella didn't show it on her face, but she felt proud inside.
The higher the road, the higher the devil. As long as she's around, Emma will never be able to turn the tables!
The next few days passed relatively peacefully, and finally it was Friday, which meant they could leave school and go home. The Miller family driver was already waiting at the gate.
When Emma and Isabella arrived home, Amelia had prepared a table full of delicious food. "Finally, you're back," she said, looking at her daughter with a mix of concern and tenderness.
"Emma, did anyone bully you at school? Are you comfortable with your living arrangements?"
Emma couldn't help but laugh and cry at her mother's overprotective concern. "Don't worry, Mom. I'm fine. I don't need to be worried about."
"That's good to hear. Remember, your studies are important, but don't put too much pressure on yourself. Take care of your health," Amelia reminded her.
Noah, on the other hand, quietly approached his sister and asked in a low voice, "Sis, I have a competition next week. Will you come and watch?"
"Of course," Emma replied without hesitation.
"What kind of competition is it?"
She thought it might be a math competition or a writing contest, but she was surprised when Noah said, "It's a hacking competition."
"What?!" Emma nearly jumped off the couch in shock. She had no idea her little brother had the potential to be a hacker.
Noah quickly grabbed her and whispered, "This is a secret. You can't tell our parents!"
"Okay."
Although surprised, she accepted it quickly enough.
Noah covered his mouth and dropped another bombshell, "By the way, I hacked into William's computer last time too..."
