“What do you mean?” the assistant was a little confused.
“You are now a part of Kaleidoscope, so you naturally know what’s going on in the agency. You simply need to make up a story and leak it to Wren.”
“But, what story should I make up?”
“Something like getting Wren to be a maid after the child is born; kicking her out of New York; or perhaps, forcing her to donate her organs if the child is actually born unwell. Weren’t there rumors that Wren said Emma’s child would be unhealthy?”
The assistant looked at Song Xin. After a few minutes, she pointed to her and said, “You’re truly as evil as ever.”
“That’s why we never fail,” Song Xin scoffed. “I hate it when people block my way. What I’m doing will reduce the burden on Emma. She should be thanking me.”
Although the assistant felt a cold chill down her spine, she still did what Song Xin asked.
They had been working together for many years. So, she understood Song Xin’s temper well.
Their target was Emma’s child, but Emma viewed this child more importantly than herself. What if they sl*pped up?
Although Jordyn’s attack had been confirmed as an accident, Emma still had a lot questions.
Questions about Song Xin who had popped out of nowhere and questions about this sudden incident.
Emma had looked through Song Xin’s information. But, to say that she had popped out of nowhere was actually an unfair statement. Emma did not previously know about Song Xin because she didn’t take notice of her.
After all, almost half of the famous songs that were currently on the Korean and Japanese charts came from her hands because she was an extremely good songwriter.
As for her identity as a scriptwriter, it was even more imp**ssive. She actually started off as a famous author but was later invited to help write the script adaptions for TV dramas and films. Fast forward to present day, she was already known as a talent within the industry.
Supposedly, her singing voice was quite good too.
A talent like this was naturally a target for Kaleidoscope. However…
…Song Xin was talented, but she was short-tempered and arrogant. Half her success came from her family background and the other half came from her own capabilities.
After browsing through Song Xin’s creations, Emma did not say anything for a while. In the end, she contacted Fletcher, “Have you checked the surveillance cameras yet?”
“Yes,” Fletcher said in a quiet voice. Jordyn had just fallen asleep.
“Fletcher, let me have a look at them,” Emma requested.
“Are you suspecting something?” Fletcher suddenly understood what Emma was thinking, “That’s not possible. I’ve already looked through the surveillance footage multiple times. The incident this time was definitely an accident.”
“Just let me have a look,” Emma insisted. It’s not that she doubted Fletcher’s capabilities, nor did she doubt how much he cared about Jordyn. But, the fact that they were husband and wife, made her worry that he was flustered and not looking at things objectively.
Fletcher couldn’t argue with Emma, so he sent the surveillance footage to her, “If you discover anything new, let me know straight away. Even though, I feel like you’re being a little paranoid.”
She would have to look at the footage before they could confirm if she was merely being paranoid.
After receiving the footage, Emma did not view it on her computer. She instead took it into Eric’s study room and played it on the projector so she could look at it in detail.
In the footage, Jordyn did not drive her car into the apartment’s underground carpark. She instead passed her car to security to park it for her. This was because Xiao Yue did not like the smell of the underground carpark and was afraid of the dark.
Afterwards, Jordyn held onto Xiao Yue’s hand as they headed for the front door of the apartment block. However, just as she started punching in the password for the main lobby, an adult bulldog suddenly pounced forward and started biting on Xiao Yue’s jacket.
Jordyn reacted quickly by removing Xiao Yue’s jacket and throwing it towards the bulldog. But, it let go of the jacket and pounced forward again. Jordyn had no choice but to quickly carry Xiao Yue in her arms. At this time, the bulldog locked its teeth on Jordyn’s left leg like it had gone mad.
Most dog owners would know that bulldogs are an aggressive breed of dog. Whenever they locked their teeth on an item, it would be almost impossible for them to let go. They were extremely ferocious…
Emma played the footage over and over again. The incident was indeed an accident because the dog owner quickly appeared and was terrified by the scene as he quickly called the ambulance. It was completely unexpected.
But, the thing that Emma did not understand was, why did the dog pounce on Xiao Yue?
Domesticated dogs weren’t like wild or stray dogs, their behavior wasn’t meant to be unstable like that. Even though it was an aggressive breed, it wasn’t normal for it to suddenly go mad.
So, why did it keep pursuing Xiao Yue?
Afterwards, Emma gave Fletcher a phone call, “Have you kept the clothes that Xiao Yue wore during the incident?”
“I’ve thrown it away,” Fletcher replied. “It was covered in blood. Xiao Yue is only 3-years-old, I didn’t want it to leave her with a trauma.”
After hearing Fletcher’s reply, Emma sighed, “Forget about it then.”
“What did you discover?”
“I don’t understand why the dog pounced directly at Xiao Yue and latched onto her with all its might. I can only think of two reasons. Firstly, Xiao Yue may have provoked this dog. But, from what I saw, she just arrived home and Jordyn was watching over her the entire time, so this reason doesn’t seem likely. Which leaves the second reason…she must be carrying something that the dog wants.”
“Think about it in detail, is there anything you can think of?”
Fletcher could not think of anything. By the time he was contacted about the incident, Xiao Yue was already being taken care of by the doctors.
All he remembered was, as he left the operating theater, he casually threw Xiao Yue’s dirty clothes in the bin outside.
So, to clarify things, he quickly left Jordyn’s hospital room to check the bin outside the operating theater. He then pulled out Xiao Yue’s clothes to inspect it. Luckily, the cleaners had not emptied the bin yet.
As he looked at the blood-stained clothes, Fletcher’s eyes began to turn red. However, he kept his composure and began examining the clothes in detail. Finally, he found a bone in Xiao Yue’s pants pocket.
A bone!
What was this doing in Xiao Yue’s pocket?
If the bulldog smelled the bone in Xiao Yue’s pocket and snuck into the apartment block to get to it, this would explain everything.
So, Fletcher quickly returned Emma’s phone call, “I found a bone in Xiao Yue’s pants pocket. It was the size of my thumb.”
“Let’s start the investigation then. Let’s see where this bone came from.”
“But, I don’t understand. If they wanted to go against Jordyn, why did they target Xiao Yue?”
“What’s so hard to understand? If they directly went for Jordyn, the target would be too big. But, making Jingjing get hurt because of Xiao Yue would work out a lot smoother,” Emma explained. “The actions of a child can never be judged in the same way as an adult. So, even if they do something wrong, no one can blame them.”
“It’s clear to see how evil the culprit is!” As Emma said these words, she already had a target in mind. However, she needed to prove it.
At the same time, Emma had no idea that the opposing party had already treated her as a target as well. However, they needed to see who was faster and smarter.
After she was done with the footage, Emma looked down at Eric who had fallen asleep hugging her. He was leaning against the sofa as he protected his wife with a tired exp**ssion on his face.
Emma was well aware that Eric had been rushing to get his work done so he could keep her company during these last two months of her pregnancy.
Therefore, after receiving the footage, he said he was going to keep her company, but he ended up falling asleep.
In reality, he didn’t have to keep her company. But…
…Eric never cared about how tired and exhausted he was.
“Eric…I’ve finished looking at the footage. Let’s go back to the bedroom to sleep.” Although Emma couldn’t bear to wake Eric up, it was impossible for her to carry this grown man back to the bedroom.
Eric opened his eyes and looked at Emma. He then lifted her in his arms, “Did you discover anything?”
“I just want you to hurry and go to sleep,” Emma said as her heart ached.
With the evidence in his hands, Fletcher went to look for the owner of the bulldog. The owner did not understand what had happened either. The bulldog had previously bitten someone when it was younger, but, at that time, it was just a small bite.
As for the bone in Xiao Yue’s pocket, Fletcher questioned Xiao Yue about it, but she was too young to give a proper answer. So, Fletcher went to speak to her kindergarten teacher. According to the teacher, the menu on the day of the incident included pork ribs. As for why Xiao Yue had a bone in her pocket, the teacher explained that it wasn’t uncommon for children to keep random items to play with later. Anything was possible.
After listening to the teacher’s explanation, his persistence to seek the truth disappeared.
