“I have my ways,” Emma replied calmly.
But, even though Kaleidoscope was the leader of the industry and Eric was the King of Entertainment, Master Nik was still someone from the underworld. So, Eilene knew as well as everyone that Master Nik appeared clean on the surface, but was involved in plenty of illegal activities. It’s just a shame that she couldn’t get a hold of any evidence against him.
That’s why the police were so excited when they first captured her, expecting that they’d get something out of her.
Unfortunately for them, Eilene had nothing. She simply lied to them, hoping for a chance at life. Because for some reason, she felt that the Emma that despised her, wouldn’t truly hurt her and would instead help her…
Of course, Emma’s way of helping Eilene wasn’t merely to keep her alive. She was going to make Master Nik completely disappear from the underworld. Otherwise, with Master Nik’s temper, he would definitely seek revenge on Emma and Eric. Someone as smart as Emma would never expose herself to any risks; it wasn’t in her character to do so.
“Actions speak louder than words. You have an obstacle right before you. How are you going to stop that cold-blooded killer from taking me away?”
Emma simply looked at Eilene without responding straight away. After a few minutes, she finally asked, “Does that person kill people on behalf of Master Nik?”
“I’m not entirely sure. All I know is, he’s helped him conceal a lot of illegal activities.”
After this, the two women did not say any more. Eilene simply watched as Emma made one phone call after another. Finally, the assistant lost his patience and began knocking on the door, “Hadassah, Master Nik has made a few phone calls and told you to hurry!”
Eilene looked towards the door, but Emma held down her icy cold hands and shook her head calmly, “Ignore him.”
At this moment, Eilene had no idea what Emma was thinking. She was simply terrified.
“Hadassah, Master Nik is on his way. He is personally coming to pick you up…”
After a few moments of silence in the private room, Emma finally stood up and walked over to the door. As she opened it, she took a quick glance at Eric.
“Let’s go, Hadassah…”
“Since Master Nik is already on his way. I would like to give my greetings,” Emma offered.
“Miss Miller, please don’t test your limits,” the man’s words obviously contained a sense of warning. “We are from different sides of the fence, let’s not make things difficult for each other. There’s no need to put yourself in danger over someone that once tried to hurt you.”
“It’s because she tried to hurt me that I want to personally deal with her.”
Hearing this, the man felt that negotiating with a woman was a waste of his energy. So, he turned to Eric instead, “Mr. Roborts…”
“My wife is the boss,” Eric sat to one side with a king-like presence that could not be ignored. Yet, when he spoke, the assistant didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He was willing to support Emma no matter what she wanted to say or do.
In other words, even if Emma wanted to kill someone, he would be there to help her bury the body.
A moment later, the cafe became even more crowded with the addition of Master Nik; making the atmosphere quite tense.
“It seems like we have quite a crowd today. Does Mr. Roborts also have an interest in Eilene?”
With the appearance of Master Nik, Eilene hid in the corner with a bitter smile. It seemed, she couldn’t escape her fate. Even if Emma tried to protect her, there was no use.
“Master Nik must be kidding. I’m simply out for a stroll with my wife,” Eric smiled.
“Since that’s the case, why is Mrs Roberts holding onto my Hadassah and not letting her go?” Master Nik asked with a forced smile. “Here I was, waiting at home for her to return. If I had known, I would have arrived sooner.”
Emma did not say a word.
“Mrs Roberts, let’s each watch over our own territory and not step over the border. I’m sure you’re smart enough to know what I mean,” Master Nik continued to smile. “Otherwise, regardless if it is Miller Corps or Kaleidoscope, I have plenty of time to play games with you. I would like to see if the entertainment industry is more powerful than my thousands of brothers.”
“Is Master Nik trying to threaten me?”
“You have no choice but to accept my threat,” Master Nik smiled arrogantly before he pulled Eilene behind him. “Let’s go home, precious…I have something I want to speak to you about.”
“So you’re actually trying to threaten me, huh?” Emma laughed. “I hate it when people threaten me.”
“But, there’s nothing you can do about it. Even if you can protect her today, will you be able to protect her in the years to come? Or could you guarantee her safety for the rest of her life?”
Eilene closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She was already in the hands of the devil and felt that death was merely on her doorstep.
But, just as Master Nik was about to take Eilene away, the door to the cafe suddenly flew open. Standing in the doorway was a person that even Master Nik had to bow down to.
It was the chief of the New York police!
“Chief Whitaker, are you here to have some coffee?”
The middle-aged man had a tanned and healthy complexion. As soon as he saw that Master Nik had Eilene in his arms, he replied, “I’m here to take my goddaughter home for dinner.”
Master Nik was a little confused by Chief Whitaker’s words, “Your goddaughter is…”
“Eilene is my new goddaughter. Didn’t you know?” Chief Whitaker pulled Eilene to his side. “My wife loves watching her films. When she saw her at the police station earlier, she was excited by the rare opportunity and begged me to take her home so she could satisfy her star-chasing dream.”
Initially, Emma snatched Eilene from the assistant’s hands…
Afterwards, Master Nik snatched her back from Emma’s hands…
Just as Master Nik appeared to already be the winner, the chief of police suddenly appeared.
Master Nik glared angrily at Emma. He never expected that Emma’s scheming would reach this level.
Now that Eilene was the goddaughter of the police chief, if he was to make a move on her, he would be making a move on the police chief’s family member. This was a crime on a whole new level. More importantly, this new identity now gave Eilene an impenetrable form of protection from all dangers.
Because, everyone knew the real meaning to this relationship! It wasn’t hard to understand the motive.
The police were obviously fighting with the underworld for control of their witness!
This was where Emma showed off her intelligence. All three parties had nothing that attracted doubt and her entire plan was flawless.
If Master Nik still wanted to get rid of Eilene, he would need to put himself through 100 times the risk. This was like gambling with everything he had.
If he didn’t get rid of her, he’d have no choice but swallow his anger and pretend that Eilene never existed…
But, how was he to swallow something so big?
In the end, Master Nik could only smile at Emma with scornful admiration, “She is indeed an actress. Mrs Roberts was well-prepared from the start, yet she still allowed me to make a pointless appearance. I am completely convinced by her intelligence.”
“I’m sure Master Nik is aware that if Eilene actually had important information against you, you would not be standing here today,” Emma said quietly.
Master Nik gave a slight smile and turned to leave. As he walked out, he said to Eric, “Mr. Roborts’s wife is indeed different.”
“Pregnant women have too much spare time on their hands, so it’s normal to find something to do,” Eric said dotingly with a layer of warning.
“In that case, I won’t get in the way of your little get-together,” Master Nik said with a deeper meaning as he glared at Eilene and left. Although he was annoyed that he had lost to Emma, he understood how to cut his losses. After all, he still had a huge gang of brothers that he needed to protect.
“Master Nik, watch your step…” Emma smiled.
It didn’t take long before Master Nik disappeared from sight and Eilene finally let out a sigh of relief as she knelt on the floor.
Just a moment ago, when Master Nik came to take her away, she seriously thought that her life had reached its end. Who would have thought…
…Emma actually had the ability to bring the police chief to them.
But, just as she was about to stand up and greet the police chief, the ‘police chief’ turned to Eric and bowed as he spoke in a voice that was nowhere near as powerful as before, “Mr. Roborts.”
