“You did well,” Eric nodded.
Eilene froze…
It turned out, there was no Chief Whitaker in the room; Eric had merely found an actor that resembled the chief. If they thought about the situation logically, why would a police chief take an actress in as his goddaughter? Especially since this woman was connected to the gangs. Did he not want his position anymore?
Of course, everything that happened in the cafe today, would never be spoken of again.
Whether it was Master Nik or Emma, everyone was going to pretend that nothing happened.
After all, Master Nik had too much pride. There was no way he’d tell everyone that he had lost to Emma; a mere entertainer.
So, as soon as Eilene understood the mind game that was being played, she was completely convinced. The difference bet**en her and Emma wasn’t just a Master Nik, there was also Eric.
Of course, from this moment onwards, Eilene decided to give Emma her life.
She had struggled her entire life to escape Master Nik, yet a simple plan from Emma was enough to make her wish come true…
“Following on, how do you plan to make up for what you tried to do to my child and I?”
Eilene did not respond. But, as she looked at Emma, she suddenly felt like she was beyond reach…
On the way home, Eric r*bbed Emma’s belly as he asked, “Are you planning to just let Eilene go like that?”
“There’s no point getting greedy over a moment of satisfaction. Would you believe that Eilene will end up paying back more than she owes? In fact, she will pay me back when I am in my most difficult of times.”
Eric lowered his head and placed a k**s on Emma’s forehead as he revealed a handsome smile. He trusted Emma’s decisions.
“It’s time to deal with Elodie!”
With the mention of this name, the couple’s eyes darkened. The reason was simple: this woman had challenged their bottom line too many times and could no longer be tolerated.
…
Meanwhile, after the situation at the Xylander Household was resolved, Quenlyn had been busy trying to sell off the house. But, because of the memories of her mother that remained, everytime a potential buyer arrived, Quenlyn would end up hesitating. Eventually, Herman could no longer stand idly by, “Why don’t you hand the house to me and I’ll sell it for you?”
Quenlyn thought for a moment and shook her head, “No, it’s OK. I’ve already settled on a buyer. He is a young neurological doctor that just returned from overseas and his hospital happens to be nearby.”
“Everything’s already settled?” Herman confirmed.
“Yes,” Quenlyn nodded her head. “Plus, let me tell you, the young doctor has a really hot body. If he wasn’t a doctor, he could have been a model without any problems.”
Hearing this, Herman suddenly felt a slight discomfort that he couldn’t quite explain.
Back when Father Xylander was kicked out of the household, the hug that Quenlyn gave him left quite an imp**ssion. But, they were classmates! Was he developing feelings for people too easily?
“However, I heard that this doctor is quite close to your second sister. Who knows, perhaps they are a couple.”
“Don’t you like guys like that?” Herman took the opportunity to test her.
“I don’t like boring people who’s only hobby is to cut open a person’s brain…Just the thought of it gives me goosebumps…” Quenlyn replied casually. “I prefer guys that are bright and cheery. After all, my life is already full of enough darkness.”
“In that case, what do you think about me?” Herman suddenly asked in seriousness as he looked into Quenlyn’s eyes. Her eyes seemed to twinkle like a sky full of stars.
Quenlyn was suddenly dumbfounded as her heart began to race. After quite some time, she finally mumbled, “Our relationship may be confusing to the public, but we are simply helping each other out, right? If that’s the case, don’t you think your question is a little awkward bet**en classmates?”
Hearing this, Herman spoke even more seriously, “Do you feel awkward around me and not comfortable?”
“I…haven’t thought too much into it.”
The two people simultaneously turned silent. After quite some time, Herman finally changed the subject, “Have you found a place to live yet?”
“Yes, I’ve found a house in New York with the highest safety rating,” Quenlyn nodded. “Don’t worry, I won’t allow myself to get hurt again.”
Herman gave a slight smile as he nodded his head.
To prevent history from repeating itself, Herman did not dwell on the topic of relationsh*ps. He hated when he acted so immature.
“If anything happens, make sure to tell me,” Herman reminded Quenlyn.
“Yes, stop being so naggy. Also, thank you for dinner tonight. However, I have some matters to deal with at Xylander Corps, so I’ll leave first,” Quenlyn returned to her usual energetic self.
“Ok, take care,” Herman did not offer to escort her. At this moment, it was important for him to learn some self control.
Quenlyn smiled before she turned and left the hotel..
Herman followed behind until he saw her drive off in her car. He then boarded his Rolls Royce Phantom. But, at this moment, he suddenly noticed a black car speeding towards Quenlyn’s car from the distance. Herman directly drove over and blocked the car’s path without a second thought.
By this time, Quenlyn’s red sports car had already disappeared around the corner…
Sitting inside the black car was none other than Father Xylander.
He was filled with so much hatred that the windshield could not block the loathing that was shooting out from his eyes.
“Let’s put an end to this today!” Herman said to Father Xylander. The two men drove their cars to a nearby carpark and stepped out to face each other, “Stop hurting Quenlyn. She has already suffered your abuse for much too long!”
“I gave birth to her, so I am her father! Yet that unfilial child treated me in such a way. I cannot accept it!”
“You still haven’t learned your lesson. What else do you want?” Herman increased the volume of his voice. “What will you get from dwelling on this situation? Let me give you a word of advice, before things get out of hand and while you still have a chance, I suggest you stop doing such meaningless things.”
“After all, Quenlyn is no longer someone you can afford to offend.”
After speaking, Herman turned to leave. However, Father Xylander suddenly pulled out a dagger from behind him and directly aimed for Herman’s back…
Herman noticed something wasn’t quite right. But, just as he turned around, he was already too late to avoid the incoming dagger. Although the dagger didn’t damage any major organs, it was lodged into the left side of his stomach. Blood quickly soaked through Herman’s clothes as Conrad Xylander took a few steps back in fear.
Conrad’s exp**ssion changed as he began to tremble…After a few moments of shock, he regained his composure and quickly got back into his car. As he drove away, the car hit Herman on the right side of his body.
Herman fell to the ground and rolled a fair distance due to the impact. After quite some struggling, he managed to use his last remaining strength to pull out his phone and gave Emma a phone call, “Sister…Three…save me…”
Emma and Eric were originally on their way to deal with Elodie when they received Herman’s phone call. As a result, they immediately asked Luke to turn the car around and Eric quickly contacted everyone he could to track down Herman’s location. But, by the time they found him, he was already unconscious.
To prevent Herman from appearing on the headlines, Eric immediately contacted a trustworthy hospital and sent Herman straight into the emergency operating theater.
As Emma looked at the blood-covered Herman, she shut her eyes tightly, “Luke, go investigate what happened.”
Luke understood as he quickly nodded his head, “Don’t worry Madam, leave it with me.”
“Also, keep this entire incident under wr*ps. We can’t let anyone know about this. Especially not Master Nik.”
If Master Nik realized that he could target the Miller Family, who knew what disgusting ideas he would develop.
“Understood,” Luke nodded once again.
Quenlyn had no idea that Herman was injured. As soon as she arrived home, she began thinking about the conversation she had with him earlier and found herself subconsciously blushing. In reality, she too reminisced about the hug that she had with Herman and the feelings that she felt that day. But, even though she felt that they had exceeded the relationship of normal friends, she did not think that they had reached the stage of lovers.
“He wouldn’t be angry at me, would he?” Quenlyn began to wonder if she had gone too far, so she picked up her phone to give Herman a call. However, the Herman that usually picked up within three seconds, did not react at all.
Quenlyn did not give up. So, she tried again. But, the result was the same.
