Chapter 41 - Catch Her

Emily immediately agreed.

Except for her, Elsie was the only one home. Emily only told the butler where she was going. Then she brought Harold out. After getting in the car, she threw a strawberry-flavored candy to Harold.

Harold looked at the candy. Last time, she also gave him the same candy. He looked at Emily through the rearview mirror. Coincidentally, he met her clear and beautiful eyes.

"Thank you," he said.

Emily just put a peeled candy into her mouth. She looked at the rearview mirror and said, "If you follow me, keep it like this. No matter what Eliot asks you, cover it up for me."

"Okay."

There were risks in choosing Harold as an insider. But in her previous life, Harold had an accident with Maury together. Emily could only bet on Harold. Besides, there was no better candidate than Harold.

Sydnee offered to meet her in a park near the Britt's. When Emily and Harold got there, they saw Sydnee wearing a green dress in the pavilion.

Sydnee's family was doing herb business. She was like Ganoderma, growing alone on a cliff. She looked gentle on the outside, but in fact, her heart was incomparably tenacious.

"Hi." When Sydnee saw Emily, she smiled and greeted her. She opened a large bag behind her and handed some documents to Emily. "I guess you don't want others to know about this, so I chose to meet you here. And these are what I got these days."

What Sydnee handed to Emily were a housing property transfer letter, a house ownership transfer assignment, and other documents.

The house was not directly assigned to Emily. It was assigned to Emily herself from her family first. And then she brought all the necessary certificates to meet Emily here.

Sydnee stood at the side and said, "I will go to the notary office to assign this land to you. But I want to become a shareholder. No matter what business you are in, I want to 10% of your stakes."

Emily was reading the documents when she heard Sydnee's offer. She nodded in agreement instantly. It just so happened that she needed a helper. After a while, she realized something. She raised her head in surprise and asked Sydnee, "You will give me the land for nothing?"

Sydnee nodded, "Yes."

"Actually, I have prepared 50,000 to pay for it." Emily took out a stack of money from her bag.

Sydnee remained silent.

Emily saw the subtle in her expression and whispered, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Sydnee smiled and looked at her watch. "Let's go. I had someone to wait for us over there. Hurry up."

On the way there, Emily whispered to Harold, "What's with her?"

Harold looked at Sydnee's back and whispered, "Miss Emily, the land is public property. Its value is much more than 50,000!"

"Really? How much does it worth?" Emily didn't know much about the price of commodities. "60,000?"

Harold was lost for words.

After finishing all the formalities in the notary office, it was an hour later. It was dark. Emily wanted to treat Sydnee to dinner. So they took a walk while choosing a suitable restaurant for dinner.

Harold called Maury and said Emily went to KFC. Maury had no objections. He only instructed Harold to take good care of Emily. Then Maury hanged up.

Emily walked to a restaurant and was just about to enter. But Sydnee pulled her slightly and whispered, "Let's go to another restaurant."

"Why? I like the light here." Emily asked.

Moreover, this restaurant was far away from the Britt's. No one would recognize her.

And the door attendant had already opened the door for them and bowed, "Welcome, please come in!"

Emily walked in. In an instant, she found out why Sydnee asked her to go to another restaurant just now. Marquise was sitting opposite the door with a few men sitting opposite him. A woman was beside him, lying on his shoulder like she had no bones. She would occasionally feed him some wine and caressed his leg with her soft fingers.

Marquise drank so much that his eyes turned red. He hugged the woman's waist and smiled drunkenly.

After what happened last time, Sydnee was completely disappointed in men. She lowered her eyes slightly and stared out of the window. Emily was a little regretful about coming in. But she was afraid that she would be recognized if she went out now. So she walked to the innermost window seat and sat down.

Harold ordered two dishes according to Emily's preferences, and then he gave the menu to Sydnee.

Maybe because Marquise was drunk, he exclaimed, "That stupid bitch! I had my chance with that woman..."

The men around him were probably all his henchmen. They laughed and asked, "Which woman are you talking about?"

"If it weren't for that scheming bitch Elsie, I would have had sex with Hubery Dickerson's daughter that night!"

"What? Really?"

"I heard that his daughter is upright and aloof. Well, now everyone knows what she's like!"

"Mr. Marquise, I heard that she is a freak. She almost spends all her time in the pharmacy every day. She probably smells of medicine. Why do you like her type?"

Marquise bit the neck of the woman beside him and said, "Because I want to taste something different!"

The woman in her arms said coquettishly, "You are so bad!"

The men around Marquise laughed.

They burst into laughter. However, Sydnee's face was deathly pale. She had never thought that what she did on the spur of the moment would bring her such humiliation!

Emily realized that Hubery was probably Sydnee's father when she saw her expression.

She gave Harold a look. But Harold didn't understand her gaze.

"...?"

Under Harold's puzzled gaze, Emily stood up.

Harold saw her stand and walked out. Soon she was about to walk past Marquise. She picked up a beer bottle. Wait! He had seen her like this before!

Harold quickly rushed over, but he was still late. He witnessed how Emily picked up an empty wine bottle and smashed it at Marquise's forehead! Emily had used brick and smashed it at a man. Now, the same thing happened again!

After a few seconds of silence, there was a scream. The woman beside Marquise shouted and stood up, wanting to rush out.

The group of men on the side realized what happened and immediately grabbed Emily. "Hey, who are you? Is Mr. Marquise fine? We caught this little girl!"

Emily looked at Harold, her big eyes filled with fear and grievance.

Harold was impressed.

'I knew you were pretending.'

Sydnee wanted to rush over. Only now did Harold understand the meaning of Emily's gaze. He immediately stopped Sydnee, made her sit down, and handed her the menu. Then he ordered, "Cover your face."

Sydnee was frightened by his words.. She sat there as he said, covered her face with the menu, and quietly look above the menu to see what was happening over there.
