I know youâre in a power driegle with Brast, and you probably donât lack such people around you, but I assure you, with his abilities and loyalty, he could single handedly octperform Bradâs entire team of hundreds â
Liam I am raised his eyebrows. âSo, when you gave him your phone number, it was for my sake?â His mood became better. Ha never thought that Enna would think for him:
was for your sake, but not entirely,â Emma said. âHeâs such a genius and I also want to have his help. But no matter what, weâre just a cooperative relationship; you really donât need to be jealous because of him.â
After that, Emma rubbed the hair beside Liamâs ear: âStill angry?â
Liamâs lips curved into a slight smile. âMmm.â
âWhat does Mmmâmean?â asked Emma up the camera and maliciously sent photos will be found out âNot angry anymore,â Liam said, then pulled her over. âThe person who set up tomorrow; I wonât let you suffer this loss.â
Emma sighed deeply, hugging Liamâs shoulder. âItâs so good to have you by my side.â
Emma was on a call with Josiah in the room.
âArenât you afraid Liam will kill you for deceiving him?â Josiahâs voice came through the other end of the phone.
âWhat do you mean by deceive?â said Emma. âWhat I said is all fact, Vere needs a job after returning from Nuverland, and even if he doesnât come back, Hall Group has industries abroad; itâs the best choice for him to cooperate with Hall Group.â
âTsk, but youâre clearly winning him over for yourselfâ Josiah exposed Emmaâs real purpose.
The veins on Emmaâs forehead bulged as she changed the subject. âLiamâs people will find out whoâs been secretly watching me by tomorrow. Josiah, are you guys so used to living a peaceful life that youâve become slower even than Levi?â
Josiah sounded aggrieved. âLiamâs people are not ordinary workers; theyâre actually wellâknown figures in the black market.â
âMore wellâknown than you?â asked Emma Josiah pouted: âYes,â
Emma was was speechless. She had no idea about it. âIs it because Liam hiding too deep, or have I become too accustomed to peace, causing my abilities to regress?â

Outstanding performers can earn bonus points at the end of the term. Have a pleasant Art Festivall The email was an invitation to the Art Festival at Vark College.
12:55 Sat 6 Jul Chapter 1fectival, Emma thought of Kateâs performance earli hoolâs Art festival this time.
the art class today âJosiah, help find out who wit b Oh, kas Josiah quishy gathered information in his unique way. Seeing the result, he smirked. âEmma, guess who will be mere âWho Jakiah continued. The great piano master Darell Wallaker, your co...â
âOh, itâs him,â Emma interrupted Josiah, her lips curving in a smile. âThings are getting interesting. Letâs wait and see.â
kate had troubled her during the day, but she didnât bother with her because Kate wasnât worthy enough. However, since the Art Festival was coming, even if Emma didnât actively provoke Kate, she could only wait to be completely defeated.
The arrival of the Art Festival instantly stirred up excitement at Vark College. Especially among the girls in the school, everyone prepared enthusiastically to showcase their talents.
Emmaâs class was assigned a task they were to participate in a lecture recital by the worldârenowned piano master Darell.
In the auditorium, Emmaâs class today was led by Kate, who wore a grand dress and high heels, with a specially styled appearance. She was fully prepared.
Darell was the piano master she had admired since childhood. Previously, the Johnson family had tried hard to get Darell to become Kateâs plano teacher, but they could only manage to have him come over for a meal before he declined, saying he never took students. But that didnât affect Kateâs admiration for him.
Today, Kate would go to great lengths to catch Darellâs eye. Even if she couldnât become his student, a few words of praise from him would be good for her, Gaining favor with Darell would make her stand out in the entire socialite circle Kate told the classmates, âWhen the event starts, stay where you are. Donât move around and no noise. Donât let me lose to other teachers, understood?â
Kate was only a few years older than these students and hardly commanded respect. But with the title of a teacher, no one objected to her.
She then looked at Emma. âEmma, especially you. I know this kind of occasion might be unfamiliar to you as youâre just a newcomer to the big city, but you need to adapt quickly. Donât hold the class back and embarrass us.â
At that moment, Emma was casually sitting with her legs crossed, sipping soft drinks and tating chips. She was the most relaxed and carefree among everyone present, even a bit wild, Seeing her like this, Kate was furious. âEmma, did you hear what I said?â
totall âI heard you. You told us not to talk and perform well so you can catch Darellâs attention and get his favor.â
Upon hearing Emmaâs words, the students laughed.
Kate was so angry she wanted to throw a cup at her, but considering the situation at the time, she restrained herself.
âYou just wait,â Kate said and left, a female student said.
left. No one knew where she went.âEmma, you were so cool when you talked back to her just now, after Kate âYeah, I saw Miss Johnsonâs face turned a little pale with angerâ
