It was as if half a century had passed.
In the car, it was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard.
Hunter's apology instantly silenced Emily.
Her breathing was gradually in disorder. She didn't know if she was still angry, or if she had completely
forgiven him.
She found herself a little cheap.
As long as this man treated her slightly better, she would forget about the things that he had done to
hurt her.
However, how could she be so cheap all the time?
But now, she could not be angry.
Suddenly, the car stopped.
Emily looked up and found that this was not a good place to park. There seemed to be no bus stop
around.
“Something seems to go wrong.” Hunter stopped the car and opened the window to let her breathe
freely.
“You take a rest here. I'll be right back.”
“What happened?” Hunter was a little serious. Emily sensed that.
“It's fine. Stay in the car. Don't get off.”
Hunter handed her the key and got off the car.
After he got out of the car, Emily saw what was going on ahead.
Wasn't this the place bought by the Jackson family? They invested it in real estate.
Because of the size of the area, this matter had been a hot topic on the Economic Channel for a long
time.
However, this was the Jackson Group’s business. Emily had been with Hunter for so long, so she knew
very well that this business was not done by him.
But now, it didn’t look good.
A group of people gathered at the construction site. Did they make trouble?
“It’s Hunter! It's Young Master Hunter of the Jackson family!”
Finally, someone saw Hunter passing by.
The people surrounding the site manager immediately changed their target and rushed towards Hunter.
“You demolish the buildings in this place by force. You're going too far!”
“That's right. We are unwilling to sell our ancestral homes. You actually cut off water and electricity,
forcing us to leave!”
“Didn't we agree that we would talk about this matter slowly? Why do you cut off water and electricity?
You profiteers!”
More and more people gathered around. When the site manager saw that it was Young Master Hunter,
he was so frightened that he hurriedly let the workers go over to protect him.
“What's going on?” Hunter’s expression darkened and said coldly with majesty.
It was strange that the villagers who made a fuss just now quieted down.
Hunter's gaze swept across the crowd and finally landed on the site manager.
“They haven't moved yet. Why is there no water or electricity?”
“This... “The manager was in a dilemma. He was only executing orders.
“They are unwilling to move away. They have already agreed on the price, but they go back on their
word.”
“Nonsense! You guys are the ones who break your word!”
“That's right. Originally, they said that each household would receive a share of the settling-in fee.
Today, they actually said that it has been cancelled!”
“Yes! You have said that each household will receive a sum of settling-in fee of at least 100,000 per
person.”
“We trust you, but you actually lied!”
“Didn't you sign the agreement?’ Hunter stood in the crowd.
Although it was noisy, he stood inside like a king.
Everyone consciously kept distance from him, and no one dared to take a single step closer.
“The agreement says 100,000, but what you said is 100,000 per head! You said that there is no need to
change because the Jackson family is wealthy and powerful. It is impossible for them to deceive us.
We all trust you!”
“Yes, we all believe that it was you, Young Master Hunter, who said this!”
“The Jackson family is lying! Young Master Hunter is lying!”
The crowd gradually talked again. They became more excited when they thought about that their
houses would be demolished and that their money was reduced.
Those people gradually surrounded Hunter.
“Young Master Hunter, I will take care of this matter. You go back first.” The manager was frightened.
If something happened to Hunter here, he would be fired.
He shouted, “Everyone, don’t be anxious. Aren't we still discussing this matter? We'll give you a
satisfactory answer.”
“What are you discussing? You've already started the construction. Will you still discuss it with us?”
“The Jackson family should return our money. Return the money!”
“My mother was so angry that she was admitted to the hospital. It was all caused by you. Return the
money!”
“The Jackson family doesn't keep their word. They are all bad guys!”
“Yes! You are all bad people!”
Someone grabbed a small stone and smashed it towards Hunter.
“Watch out!” Emily, who was sitting in the car, was shocked. She immediately opened the car door and
ran over.
“Be careful. Don't fight!"
“What are you doing down here?” Hunter's expression darkened as he rushed past the crowd towards
her.
Unexpectedly, when he came out of the crowd, he accidentally knocked down an old man.
Everyone was so excited that Young Master Hunter was hurting people.
Someone in the crowd suddenly grabbed a brick and smashed it towards Hunter.
Hunter moved off. The brick landed not far from Emily's feet, scaring her to the point that her entire
body went limp.
Heavens! These people actually used violence!
“Young Master! Be careful!”
Another brick was smashed towards him! Emily didn’t even think about it and ran towards him as fast
as she could.
“That's Young Master Hunter's woman! That's his car!”
“They've earned so much money. They've all used it on women and cars! They are profiteers!”
“Earn the hard-earned money of the common people! Shameless!”
“Shameless!”
“Go to hell!”
With a shout, this time, the brick was not smashed towards Hunter, but towards Emily.
Emily was still running, and when the brick smashed over, she could not stop.
She wanted to dodge about, but it was already too late.
“Young Master Hunter!”
She hugged her head with both hands, but her footsteps still couldn't stop.
With a bang, she crashed into the man’s arms.
Her slender body was almost hit to fly to ground.
Hunter's large palms landed on her arms, pulling her back and pulling her into his arms.
The brick hadn't hit her just now, and she didn't feel the anticipated pain.
Emily breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her head and saw a scarlet red color!
“Young Master Hunter!” In an instant, Emily was scared out of her wits!
He was injured! Was that the brick? It actually smashed into his forehead!
“Stop messing around! Everyone! Stop messing around! You guys are breaking the law! Stop messing
around!”
The manager quickly brought the people to stop them.
Not far away, several cars suddenly stopped. A dozen men wearing black shirts and trousers got off the
car and surrounded Hunter and Emily.
“Young Master Hunter, how are you? Don't scare me!”
Emily raised her hand, wanting to touch his wound, but she didn’t dare.
She cried out in panic, “Help! Help! Young Master is injured! Help!”
Hunter still hugged her tightly in his arms and used his body to wrap around her, just in case those
people would throw bricks at her.
However, his tall body shook slightly. That brick had obviously injured him a lot!
Now, he could barely stand, but he still subconsciously hugged her tightly!
Emily felt poignant. Seeing the figure getting off the other car, she anxiously said, “Liam, Young Master
is injured. Take him to the hospital!”
