Second Chances

Emma’s performance at Krot Competition soon reached Simon cars. 

When Emma and Liam returned to leovine Estate, Simon called Liam. 

On the phone, the message that Simon intended to convey was very clear. 

Many people in the circle had seen Emma and Liam interact intimately. 

From time to time, everyone would say that Liam had good taste and that Simon was about to have a formidable daughter- 

in–law. 

Simon smiled outwardly. He thought, ‘I certainly recognize Eminia’s personal abilities, but it’s dangerous for Liam to be with 

her. 

He had gotten someone to look into the poison Liam had previously. It was called King’s Poison. 

It 

was said that this kind of poison only circulated in the black market. 

There was no way Simon would not be worried. 

If it weren’t for the mysterious coded letter later on, Liam might have been in serious trouble by now. 

Simon said over the phone, “Previously, for safety’s sake, I didn’t agree to you being with Emma.” 

But recently, more and more people had been talking about Emina around him. 

Simon thought of this coded letter again. He couldn’t shake off the feeling that there was something fishy about this matter. 

“But since that coded letter wasn’t written for me, could it be from a friend of Emma?” he asked. 

Liam did not shy away from talking about it. He said, I’ve asked Emma. She doesn’t know the person who sent the letter.” 

Simon had previously made things difficult for Emma. Liam did not want to communicate with him. 

“Dad, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now,” he said. 

“Hey, wait a moment, Simon said. 

It was only then that he remembered the important purpose of today’s call. “There’s a press conference tomorrow night,” he said. “If you’re really determined to marry no one else but her, then… There was a pause on the phone. He then continued, “Bring her along 

Simon’s message was that he would try to accept Emma from now on. 

Derek, who had worked for Simon for decades, was shocked. 

But Liam’s emotions did not fluctuate much. 

Because regardless of whether Simon accepted it or not, he would still be with Emma 

He merely said, “Til aşk Emma.” Then, he hung up. 

Simon was getting a bit annoyed again. 

He thought, I’ve finally accepted Emma, letting her attend the Halls Group’s press conference. Do I still need to adjust my behavior to please her? 

08:54 Mon, 

Meanwhile, Emma was sitting in front of the computer and playing games in boredom. 

She had just checked the news of the Charon Military School competition online. 

The issue concerning the electricity grid was still under investigation, but according to Interpol’s progress that she had learned, it would not be long before they caught the mastermind and convicted that person. 

Fortunately, Emma’s situation had caused quite a stir this time. 

The world’s live broadcast had been hacked, and all the relevant evidence provided by Liam was solid. 

Otherwise, even Interpol would have a hard time dealing with King’s Association. 

Of course, Emma also saw the list of winners for this round of Krot Competition. 

Her own name, Emma, was listed first in the women’s group. 

Erza was still in first place for the time being, but whether or not his championship would be revoked was still unknown. 

At this moment, Lane called. 

“Hello?” 

On the phone, it was noisy on Lane’s end. “Miss Wilson, I’m so damn mad!” she said. 

Emma twirled a pen with her left hand, saying, “What’s wrong? What did Lennon ask you!” 

“He’s threatening us!” Lane said. 

It was pretty much what Emma had guessed 

It was just like how Simon had used Sharon to threaten Levi back then. Although Lennon did not say it directly, the implication was that Lane and Emma should not meddle in other people’s business. Otherwise, they would bear the 

consequences. 

“He also asked me to send him your negative historical records, Lane said. “He wants to go to the police station to accuse you of using hacking techniques. He wants the police to arrest you.” 

Emma raised her eyebrows, an evil grin playing on her lips. 

She thought, ‘I did use some hacking skills, but that’s because I’m Stox. If my identity as Stox were to be known by the world, it’d no longer be a matter of whether I’d be arrested. The entire police station would probably be eager to recruit me by: then. They’d want me to share my skills and assist in solving cases!” 

Emma sat in a boss–like manner at the computer desk with her legs crossed. She stretched lazily. 

“Since he started provoking first, don’t blame me for being meddlesome then,” she said, 

Hearing her words, Lane sounded excited as she said, “Miss Wilson, do you mean we should go help Erza now?” 

Emma smiled and said, “Yeah.” 

She could hear the excitement and joy in Lane’s voice even through the phone. 

She thought, ‘Lane usually comes across as fierce, but at the critical moment, she is more loyal than anyone 

After Emma comforted her, she eventually decided to make a call she hadn’t made in a long time. 

else.”

The call involved three people simultaneously, with Josiah also listening in. 

Upon seeing Emma’s call was connected to that big shot, Josiah immediately exclaimed, “Good lord!” 

He said, “Good lord! Miss Wilson, you’re finally willing to contact Noah!” 

Along with Josiah, Noah Barclay worked for Emma back then. 

Due to differences in their principles, Emma got angry and ignored him for an entire year. 

If Josiah was extraordinarily intelligent, then Noal was incredibly physically gifted. 

Nowadays, Noah already had an astonishing influence in international sports competitions. 

Now that Emma had contacted Noah again, Josiah was more excited than anyone else. 

But there was no sound on the other end of the line. 

“Noah, hurry up and say something, Josiah said. “Miss Wilson finally reaches out to you.” 

Leaning against the back of the sofa and twirling the tip of her pen, Emma lazily said, “Noah, what’s wrong? I didn’t answer your call for a year. You don’t want to talk to me now?” 

“No… 

At that moment, the third person on the call finally made a sound. It was a violent cough. 

“Cough, cough, cough. Emma, I got so excited when you called me. I accidentally hit my foot while I was moving things. Cough, cough. Damn. I took a sip of water to calm down but ended up choking on it. Cough, cough, cough, cough.” 

Emma was left speechless.. 

She thought, ‘Silly goose, still showing the familiar pattern. 

She explained the situation involving Erza and Lennon to Noah. 

“We can’t control anything else, but you should have a way to get Lennon to withdraw a report, right?” she asked. 

Noah thought for a moment, not replying immediately. 

Emma thought he was not confident, so she gave him Jenson’s contact information. 

“If you still can’t do it, then you really don’t have to work for me anymore,” she said. “Bye.” 

Noah said, “Hey! Miss Wilson!” 

On the other end of the line, Noah wanted to say that he could indeed handle it. 

He thought, “These things are as easy as pie for me. It’s just that Emma didn’t answer my calls for a year, and I wanted to exchange pleasantries with her. In the end, she just hung up on mer 

After Emma hung up, Liam pushed the door open and entered. 

“Emma,” he said. 

On Emma’s screen, miscellaneous content continued to play. 

She put down the mouse, you just now?”

and threw herself into Liam’s arms. “It’s you,” she said. “Honey, what did your dad 

say to 

+74%) 

Emma didn’t listen to their conversation, but before entering the house, she seemed to recognize that the voice of the person who called Liam was Simon’s. 

Liam put his arm around her waist and said, “The Halls Group will hold a press conference tomorrow night. My dad wants you to come along” 

At this point, he added, “As the future mistress.” 

Emma’s beautiful eyes glinted. 

She thought, “It seems that my trip to Krot Competition this time has also let me gain Simon’s softened attitude toward me.” 

She did not say anything. She turned around and sat by the bed, nonchalantly flipping through the book. 

Liam then asked attentively, “Emma, do you want to go?” 

“Sure,” Emma said as she closed the book. I don’t like crowded places, but I want to be with you.” 

She thought, ‘Simon’s intentions are also very clear. He’s going to start acknowledging me as Liam’s partner in front of the media. In the past, I didn’t want to be high–profile, fearing my identity might attract danger. But now things have developed to this point. I won first place in Krot Competition, and various identities emerged. There’s no way I could stay low–key, Various forces are already watching me. So, I might as well openly be with Liam from now on 

Emma’s attitude immediately melted Liam’s heart. 

He thought, “I was initially worried that Emma would hold a grudge against Dad for what happened before and refuse to go. But from the looks of it now, she doesn’t care about that at all. Neither do I Even if the whole world objects, she and I are still the most solid partners. 

Liam felt an unprecedented sense of compatibility. His eyes were filled with love as he looked at her. 

Emma could not resist his smile at all. She reached out and gently covered his lips and chin. 

“Don’t smile at me like that,” she said. “I will lose control and act on my desire. 

He kissed her palm and said, “Go ahead. I’m waiting for you to act on your desire.” 

Emma could not help but kiss him on the lips. 

An hour later, she could not help but exclaim in awe inwardly, Damn, he’s got next–level lovemaking skills.
