Chapter 51

Chapter 51 The next day, Emma received a call from Sebastian’s mother, Yolanda Dow, Yolanda mentioned that the Gomez family was facing trouble because of Aria, and since Mateo and Nora couldn’t help her, she hoped Emma could step in.

Josiah was skeptical. “Miss Wilson, the Gomez family is under police investigation. They might be trying to drag you down.

Maybe you shouldn’t go.”

Emma sneered. “They probably think the enemy of their enemy is their friend. But Sebastian’s uncle nearly killed Uncle Sean. Do they really think they can get away with that?”

Josiah smirked. “You’re right.”

“So, in this game, it doesn’t hurt to play along. Besides, I have my own plans.” Emma smiled.

Emma arrived at the club Yolanda had specified. Security guards stood at the entrance to the private room.

Inside, an elegant middle–aged woman sat at a massive dining table, wearing an emerald necklace recently acquired at an auction, rumored to be worth over 10 million dollars.

Yolanda, who had gained immense popularity for acquiring this emerald, had made international news, showcasing the Gomez family’s wealth once again.

Today, she wore the emerald, clearly to assert her power and authority over Emma. A subtle form of intimidation.

Seeing Emma, Yolanda pointed to the seat in front of her. “Take a seat.”

Emma pulled out a chair and sat down, her presence commanding attention.

Yolanda watched her closely. Emma, dressed in a sleek black dress and high heels, with long flowing hair and legs crossed, exuded a lazy confidence. Even with sunglasses perched on her nose, there was an undeniable arrogance about her.

This seemingly ordinary girl had somehow managed to trample on Yolanda’s pride and dignity.

Yolanda broke the silence first. “You must be aware of your sister’s disappearance.”

She continued, “Here is the thing. Sebastian had a brief romantic interest in your sister, it wasn’t serious enough to consider marriage, so he couldn’t have kidnapped her. After she went missing, the police identified Sebastian as the prime suspect.

“I’m here to ask you to provide evidence that your sister suffered from depression. If you place these antidepressant pills and a suicide note in Aria’s room, you’ll be rewarded with 10 million dollars!

Emma raised an eyebrow at the amount, her lips curling into a mysterious smile. She understood Yolanda was trying to make it look like Aria had committed suicide due to depression, thus shifting suspicion away from her son.

“Is your Sebastian’s life only worth 10 million dollars to you, Mrs. Dow?” Emma’s tone was light, but it made Yolanda’s eyebrows twitch.

Yolanda knew that Emma had recently fought with the Wilson family for over 2 million dollars for her mother’s sake. So, in her mind, this amount shouldn’t be trivial for Emma. “If you think 10 million dollars is too little, we can negotiate.”

Emma smiled, pushing the bottle of pills and the fake suicide note back across the table. “You can’t afford what I want,” she said coldly 83%

Chapter 51 Yolanda’s forehead veins throbbed with anger. “If it weren’t for my son, I wouldn’t waste my time with this country bumpkin. 10 million dollars is more than enough for someone like her to live on! How dare she act so high and mighty? She’s nothing but an uncouth peasant who doesn’t know her place!!

The forced smile on Yolanda’s face was almost painful to see. “Miss Wilson, maybe we can negotiate what you want. You should understand, that with the financial power of our Gomez family, apart from the Hall family, there are very few who can compare.

What we can’t afford, probably no one else can, right?”

Emma crossed her arms and chuckled mockingly. No wonder Sebastian was so useless and arrogant, she thought, with a mother like this, it made perfect sense.

Emma slowly removed her sunglasses, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to smile but were as cold as ice. “I want your brother’s life. Will you give it to me?”

Yolanda’s face changed instantly. “What do you mean?”

“Exactly what I said,” Emma replied. “Your brother, Parker, wants to kill my uncle. Hand him over to me. Let me cut off his hands and feet and throw him into a shark tank as feed. Agree to that, and I’ll save your son.”

“Yolanda’s face twisted with rage. She and Parker had grown up together and were very close. The Gomez family’s prosperity also relied heavily on Parker’s support. Their families were inseparable, and if something happened to Parker, it would be a severe blow.”

Yolanda glared at Emma, a murderous glint in her eyes. “Take her down!”

Yolanda had come prepared. If Emma agreed, she would pay her 10 million dollars to help her son take the blame. If Emma refused, then she would face the consequences.

Yolanda gave the order, and two bodyguards at the door immediately rushed in.

Emma noticed the glint of knives on their wrists, revealing their malicious intentions.

Her expression hardened. With a swift kick, she sent one of the knives flying. Using her strength, she quickly pinned the other man to the ground and snatched the knife from his hand.

Yolanda trembled as she saw the knife lodged in the chair’s back, less than half a centimeter from ber neck. Just a slight tilt and her throat would have been slit. A chill ran through her body as she stared at Emma in shock, her nerves on edge.

Emma dusted off her hands as if she had touched something dirty, her face icy. “Go back and tell Parker, if he dares to harm anyone from the Rivera family, he’s digging his own grave.”

“And about Sebastian,” she added, “he’s hurt quite a few young girls. The sooner he goes to jail, the better for everyone.”

Yolanda gritted her teeth. “How dare you speak to me like this? Even Brad would show respect to the Gomez family. Who do you think you The oppressive feeling of the knife near her neck made Yolanda tremble uncontrollably, clearly at her breaking point.

Emma remained calm. She leaned forward slightly, her long hair casting a shadow over her face, her lips curling into a dark smile. “I know one thing. Those who cross me don’t live long. So, you and your brother better watch out.”

With that, she flicked a steel ball from her fingertips. The knife lodged behind Yolanda fell, tearing through her chest clothing.

“Ah!” Yolanda screamed in terror as her priceless emerald pendant was cut off by the blade, shattering as it hit the ground with a loud crash.
