After all, who would dare touch the woman of a man that no one dared to provoke? So, he decided, from today onwards, if anyone did anything to Emma, he would use the most ruthless methods to attack them back. He was no longer going to show any mercy whatsoever. Before Emma was pregnant, she’d handle these matters on her own, but now that it wasn’t as convenient for her, he had no choice but to step in.
…
Late into the night, Eric returned to the hotel. However, Emma was still awake and waiting for his return.
“Did you go see Eilene?”
“Uh huh,” Eric replied as he stripped off his clothes.
“What happened?” Emma asked as she shuffled over and patted the bed, gesturing for Eric to hurry over.
Eric put on his pajamas and got into bed. He then drew Emma into his embrace and explained everything that he had discovered from Eilene’s interrogation, “Although a lot of people are implicated in this matter, I won’t let a single one of them off the hook.”
The couple were always of the same mind. So, of course, Emma knew what Eric was thinking.
Especially since they always handled matters like this in the same way.
Emma’s bottom line had always been Eric and their child, and this time, all three of these women had crossed this line.
So, they couldn’t blame her for what was about to happen to them!
Afterwards, Emma gave Herman a phone call, “How have things been going with Quenlyn?”
“Sis, I’m sleeping right now…”
“Turquoise revealed the news of my pregnancy to Eilene. Both my child and I almost got killed,” Emma explained briefly, “That’s why I’m asking you this question in the middle of the night.”
Hearing this, Herman immediately sat up in bed and brushed back his hair, “What happened?”
“I have no time to go into details. I simply want to ask whether Quenlyn wants to deal with Turquoise herself, or should I make a move?”
Herman thought for a moment, finally understanding what Emma was trying to say. It was only a matter of time before Turquoise was to be kicked out of the Xylander Family, but she wanted to know who was to make it happen.
Quenlyn had already become the new owner of the Xylander Household and she currently held the majority of the shares for Xylander Corps. Emma wanted to first allow Quenlyn to get revenge before she stepped in and took over.
“I’ll ask Little Monkey about it.” Herman checked that Emma and her baby were fine before he hung up and gave Quenlyn a call.
As soon as Quenlyn heard of what had happened in The Netherlands, she almost couldn’t control herself from rushing upstairs and yelling at Turquoise. But, she calmed herself down and asked, “What does Emma have planned? I will do all I can to assist her. Don’t worry.”
“She has set her targets. Target 1: Eilene; Target 2: Turquoise; Target 3: Elodie! But, you may need to handle Turquoise on your own.”
“Tell Emma not to worry.”
Quenlyn was confident in her response. She had long wanted to see Turquoise kneel on the floor and beg for mercy.
As for Elodie, she was the last target because Eric had no intention to leave her with any chances. There were still many things that needed to be taken from her hands, including the right to be a mother.
Since, Eilene was the first target, then it was time to get started!
Let the show begin!
…
Because of all the one-sided discussions in New York, Eric and Emma received a lot of scolding online.
At the same time, they created a lot of questions. The incident with Eilene had been planned well in advance and had no witnesses. Plus, the one female actress that got scared away, had run off so quickly that she didn’t catch a proper glimpse of what was happening. This meant that there was no one available to clarify the truth. So, why was Eric still holding Eilene captive?
All off a sudden, different opinions began to surface online. But, there was no doubt that this topic was going to become more and more viral.
Kaleidoscope did not immediately deal with the PR like they usually did. But, this lack of response pointed to two possibilities: one, they were admitting that the rumors were true, or two, they were holding onto their trump card until the crisis hit its peak.
Obviously, most passersby believed in the first possibility, whereas fans…believed in the second one.
However, the more Kaleidoscope refused to make a comment, the more arrogant their opponent became. After all, they were dealing with a gangster boss; a person that smelled of the underworld. So, bullying the weak and fearing the strong was normal for him.
As a result, the online community created a nickname for the couple: ‘The Fake Calculative Couple’. They claimed that they were completely fake.
“I bet three bags of spicy strips that this couple will end up in a divorce sooner or later. How could there be such a loving couple in this world?”
“I originally thought they were truly in love, but for some reason, I now feel like they are merely using each other.”
“Regardless of everything else, they should first offer Eilene an apology. Is Eilene currently OK?”
“This is like a declaration of war bet**en two Big Bosses. Who do you guys think will win?”
“Who would dare provoke someone from the underworld?”
These nosy netizens had been posting their opinions endlessly ever since the incident was revealed. Of course, amongst them were a few accounts that were deliberately made to help Eilene maintain her innocence.
Because of these rumors, Emma quickly ended her visit to The Netherlands and returned to New York with Eric.
The couple were dressed like average people, so passersby did not notice them, nor did they chase and surround them. But, as soon as they entered New York airport, Emma noticed the news about her and Eric.
“Mr. Roborts, this is a rare occurrence…”
Eric smiled as he nudged Emma towards the exit. However, the phone that he had just switched on, suddenly lit up.
Eric led Emma to a safe passageway before he accepted the call and placed the phone to his ear.
“Hello…Mr. Roborts.”
Eric took a few seconds to realize that the man he was speaking to was Eilene’s man; the so-called gangster boss.
“Has President Nik finally decided to retrieve his woman from me?” Eric relaxed as he smirked.
“Doesn’t Mr. Roborts feel like he’s not acting like a gentleman? If the situation gets out of hand, it won’t be good for Kaleidoscope either. Why don’t we each take a step back?”
“How does President Nik expect me to step back?” Eric asked. “If President Nik knows how it feels to worry about his woman, how could he be asking me to take a step back? Does he think that my woman deserves to be bullied?”
Eric’s words weren’t gentle nor harsh. In fact, it was hard to tell what he was thinking. But…
…his tone of voice and unyielding attitude contained an obvious sense of danger.
“It sounds like Mr. Roborts has no intention to back down at all? But, you must know that the entire New York is currently on my side.”
“President Nik must be joking. I don’t think the people in New York are so blind that they would support someone from the underworld… Entertainment gossip is, after all, just gossip. I’m sure they still know what’s right from wrong,” Eric ridiculed.
“Hmmph, let’s wait and see,” the man was obviously angered by Eric’s words as he responded briefly and hung up the phone.
Eric of course knew that this man would go to any lengths to achieve his motives. After all, he was brought up in the underworld. But, Eric had never been afraid.
The fact that Eilene dared to touch even a hair on Emma’s body, he was going to make her pay back a thousand-fold. Although, her plan failed in the end, he wasn’t going to let her even think about it.
Emma heard how Eric tried to protect her. After being together for so long, the thing about Eric that made her heart race was that he always did as he said. If he said he was going to do something, then he was going to do it; he never made empty promises. Above all, the thing that Emma was most mesmerized by recently, was the fact that Eric didn’t care about offending the entire world.
Within his world, she was his everything.
With this thought, Emma’s eyes glowed as she gently stroked her stomach.
Eilene deserved the harshest of punishments!
