Chapter 156 How Could You?
In the bright and luxurious living room, the atmosphere was very tense. Charles Johnson listened to Emilyâs words and was confused. He frowned and looked over. He asked, âWhat do you mean by this?â After he finished speaking, he looked at his wife behind him and thought for a few seconds.
âDid you do something again?â
Mia felt a little guilty.
But when she thought of what she had done, she could not admit it. âWhat can I do? I have always been at home. She clearly came to pick a fight!â When Emily heard this, she sneered. âIâm looking for trouble? Mia, I advise you not to make useless excuses here. David Hanson has already confessed, saying that it was you who ordered him to destroy my herb field!â
âI did not!â
Mia retorted loudly, as if this could prove her innocence.
âWhat? You still wonât admit it? Iâm telling you, itâs useless even if you donât admit it. The police are already on their way here! If you donât let me live a good life, you wonât have a good life either!â Emily sneered. She didnât say a word and took a step closer to Mia. Mia was frightened by the strong momentum she exuded. âWhat do you want?â âDonât worry, I wonât hit you now, because the law will punish evil people like you!â Emily stopped and looked down at her. Mia looked at her confident expression and couldnât help but panic. Even so, Mia still gritted her teeth and said firmly, âWhat nonsense are you talking about? I donât know anything about David Hanson or the herbal field!â âYou donât know him? Do you think I donât have enough evidence?â Emily sneered and looked at her. âAs early as yesterday, Mr. Greens helped me investigate clearly. David Hanson is the driver your company arranged for you. He is the one who sends you to work. You still have contact with him!â As these words fell, Miaâs face began to turn pale and her body involuntarily trembled. However, this was not the end.
Emily continued, âNow, David Hanson is already in the police station! You will not get away with it!â
During this period, Lucas stood at the side and watched quietly. He found out that although this woman was here to settle accounts, she was very smart.
First, she beat her up, then she scared her. Under such pressure, how could Mia not give herself away? Sure enough, Mia was even more scared by what Emily said. Perhaps because she knew that she couldnât get away, in the end, she simply dropped the act and said angrily, âSo what if I asked someone to do it? Isnât it just some lousy medicinal herbs?â
Emily looked at her arrogant appearance and was furious. But now was not the time to argue.
âSo, you admit that it was you who ordered David Hanson to do thisâ
Emilyâs cold eyes locked onto Mia. Mia looked up at her and gritted her teeth. âSo what if I did?â Emily smiled. Looking at the charming smile on her face, Mia suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. âWhat are you laughing at?â âItâs nothing. Itâs good that you admit it.â As she spoke, Emily took out her phone. She saw that the phone interface was recording. This was what she had prepared in advance when she came in. Emily paused the recording and kept it properly. Then, she looked at Mia and sneered, âThen, letâs meet at the police station!â At this moment, how could Mia not know that she had been tricked!
âEmily, you actually tricked me!â
She stared at Emily with hatred, her eyes wishing she could eat her up. Emily shrugged her shoulders indifferently and mocked, âWhy are you so stupid?â Mia was about to explode with anger, but there was nothing she could do. In the end, she could only look at Charles Johnson for help. âHubby, help me quickly. Donât let Emily hand the recording to the police. Otherwise, Iâll be finished. I donât want to go to jail!â
Listening to his wifeâs anxious tone, Charles Johnson went silent. In fact, he really wanted to say that she deserved this. But he did not say this out loud. After all, the most important thing right now was to not let Emily make this matter to the police station, not arguing with his wife. Otherwise, if Mia were to go to jail, the situation that the Johnson Group had managed to stabilize with great difficulty would be stirred up again. Thinking of this, Charles Johnson took a deep breath. âEmily, there is no need to make this matter so ugly. Mia is your sister after all. How could you do this to her?â He tried to play the family card and pretended to be a peacemaker. Unfortunately, Emily did not fall for his trick at all. She sneered, âWhy not? And why donât you ask Mia the same question? How could she bear to destroy the herb field I painstakingly planted?â Hearing this, Charles Johnson choked. He looked at Emily and did not speak for a long time. He knew that this woman would definitely not let this matter go. In the end, he thought of another way and slowly said. âThen what do you want? Tell me how much those medicinal herbs are worth and we will compensate you!â
