It actually was his father! If he wasn’t mistaken… what happened today…
“Hey…” Emmett’s voice was chilling.
Atwood softly replied, “Heh heh, Emmett, how do you like the present that I just sent you? I’m sure with
your martial arts and reflexes, you shouldn’t be hurt…”
Emmett tightly clenched his teeth! So it was indeed his father who sent someone to do it!
Emmett forced a reply, “You wanted to test my reaction abilities?”
“Of course not. You are a smart kid. I’m sure you know who I’m after.”
“You…”
“Yes, that’s right, I’m going after Elaine.” Atwood was still able to water his plants with an indifferent
expression as he said these.
…
Emmett clenched his teeth tight as a vice when he heard his father’s refined voice. His father had
always been like this. Outwardly he was smiling, pleasant, and refined. Those who didn’t know him well
would think that he had a very good temper. In fact, those who served him for a long time would
understand that the more he appeared to be calm, the more ruthless he would be!
Just like now, his tone appeared to be soft and amiable making anyone think that the conversation was
about something pleasant. Yet, the very thing that they were talking about involved the life of a person!
Emmett wouldn’t bother had it been anyone else. After all, Emmett had inherited his father’s
ruthlessness, perhaps even more so.
But…
Now it involved his little precious thing, Elaine. Emmett’s heart suddenly tightened and had trouble
breathing. He wanted to yell at his father for his ruthlessness… But Elaine was right beside him,
leaning onto his body. That girl was looking around aimlessly as if nothing had happened. Her innocent
and naive look made Emmett’s heart soften. It made Emmett swallow his rage and suppress his
impulsiveness.
He said softly, “I feel that what you are doing is unnecessary…”
“Heh heh, really? I felt that somebody needed some reminder.”
Emmett’s face turned blue, “Okay, you had achieved your aim. You don’t have to worry anymore.”
Atwood put down his water spray and straightened himself and smiled, “I hope so. Juliana said that she
is very lonely at the hotel. You should know what to do!”
Emmett took a deep breath and scoffed, “You are so thoughtful!” He hung up after he said.
He was fuming! To think that his father had interfered to that extent! His father threatened the life of
Elaine just to make him shift his attention to Juliana. What the hell did Juliana’s loneliness got to do
with him? She can die for all he cared!
…
Emmett already had a plan…
“What’s that? Have a look, the white-colored thing… it’s so strange.” Elaine nudged Emmett with her
arm and didn’t notice that the man beside her had turned cold to the bone.
Emmett’s coldness suddenly warmed up, smiled, and leaned over to hold onto Elaine. He held onto her
as he took in her fruity fragrance and looked outside with her. “Oh, that. They’re some statues built last
year by the local government. Do you want to have a look?”
If she wanted to, he’ll immediately instruct the car to stop, regardless of whether they can stop at that
location.
“Statues? Nah, I thought that they are some art exhibitions.” Elaine pouted and shook her head.
She felt very warm and secure in Emmett’s embrace. She simply felt that there wasn’t anything to
worry about as long as she was in his arms. Emmett looked down towards Elaine and just nice was
able to look into her blouse and at her alluring cleavage.
“Girl…” Emmett whispered into Elaine’s ear.
“Hmm? What?” Elaine answered as she continued to look outside.
She was absolutely unaware that the man beside her was looking lustfully at her particular body part.
“Girl, you are really chubby.” Emmett praised.
“Chubby? Nonsense! I’m not chubby! I’m just fifty kilos.” In fact, Hazel was a few kilos lighter than her…
so at her weight of fifty kilos, she was on the chubby side.
Emmett grinned, “What I meant was, your twins are nice and chubby.”
Oh? Elaine looked puzzled at him with eyes wide open.
Twins…? What twins?
Elaine pouted and looked strangely at Emmett’s grin. She then looked along with his gaze downwards
towards herself…
…
“Ah…” Elaine covered her chest with one hand and curled up her pout even more and glared at
Emmett, “You are too much! You are a rascal. You are too sleazy. How can you become a director and
a gentleman? What a degradation of society!”
Kayden grinned when He heard this. Damn, this gal had the guts to speak so rudely to his master…
Had it been anyone else, his master’s expression would darken and with an order, take the life of the
person. It was not a minor crime to scold the master of the ZH Clan.
But…
Emmett listened to Elaine and actually chuckled. His pink thin sexy lips gently rubbed Elaine’s ear
causing her to feel tickled and squirmed in embarrassment. “I’m bad, I’m sleazy, but only to you. No
one will believe you if you scream. Heh heh.”
Elaine was upset and objected, “Humph, that’s why you are the worst! You are despicable! How can an
honest person like me survive around you?!”
Emmett caressed Elaine’s hair with one hand and narrowed his eyes while looking in front. He
pondered, “I will not allow anyone to interfere with my path! No one can prevent me from having who I
want and what I want!”
Emmett didn’t get out of the car when they arrived at Elaine’s school. He didn’t want to cause any
trouble to Elaine just in case someone spotted him. Elaine was stopped by Emmett just as she was
about to get out of the car.
He looked at her and said softly, “Promise me that you won’t continue to be upset about not making it
to Irvine University. I believe that I will win the bet.”
“Humph… I had already forgotten about it. But now that you mentioned Irvine University, I’m going to
be upset again.” Elaine twitched her nose adorably.
…
Emmett pinched her ear and laughed, “Just to prevent that you are ill-prepared when I win, you should
do some research about what’s required just in case you lose the bet.”
Elaine frowned, “What bet?” She forgot again…
Emmett smiled at this silly gal! “If you receive the acceptance letter of Irvine University, you will have to
dance for me… and…”
Elaine suddenly remembered and her cheeks started to blush in red and her lips quivered.
“You still remembered this? Wasn’t it a joke?”
“I can forget about all other things but this interesting issue cannot be forgotten. Heh heh.” He
continued to laugh!
Damn Bad-bear Smith! He seemed so scheming whenever he laughed in this manner causing her to
feel like she was being played. Emmett patted on Elaine’s chubby backside and said, “Don’t ease up
on your studies.”
He said the ‘studies’ with a double meaning. Did he refer to her higher studies or some techniques in
bed that she should study about?
Elaine glared strangely at Emmett, pouted, and went into the building.
“Kayden, return to the office.”
As Elaine entered the building, Emmett’s smile quickly disappeared and it became terrifyingly chilling.
Humph, father, do you still think that I’m eighteen or nineteen that you can make me do as you wished?
I respect you but I won’t listen to your orders completely.
Juliana called Emmett twice but he did not answer. He can’t listen to Juliana’s voice now as he wasn’t
sure if he could control himself and unleash his fury on her.
When he arrived at the office, a group of senior managers was waiting to report to him.
“Just wait till I call for you,” Emmett said coldly with an aggressive tone.
“Yes, Mr. Smith.” Sophia stuck out her tongue while holding onto piles of reports and looked at the
awaiting managers.
…
“Look, we shouldn’t have let Elaine leave. Once Elaine left, Mr. Smith’s temper has returned to his
previous cold ways.”
Sophia shook her head and sighed, “How nice if Elaine was around. I was so comfortable those few
days and didn’t feel pressured at all. How I miss Elaine!”
The rest of the secretaries also shook their heads and sighed, “Yes, yes, we even had the time to chat
with each other when Elaine was around.”
Emmett went back to his office, removed his jacket, and sat on the sofa. He took out his phone and
looked for a contact and called him.
The Dean of Irvine University was startled when he saw who the caller was.
