Chapter 240 - It Smells Good 2

Emily stared at the sky. It was hard to imagine that the fireworks would bloom in the sky at the same time until they burned their own lives and fell like raindrops.

The sky lit up for two minutes and six seconds.

Emily finally turned around. Her eyes shone as bright as if filled with stars. She smiled and said, "Happy birthday."

Vincent lifted his eyebrows slightly, "Where's my present?"

Emily seized the tie on his chest, pulled it down, forcing his head down and kissed him.

It was his birthday, but the fireworks seemed to have been prepared for her.

The guards were all eating melon seeds together, and Harold had nothing left in his pocket.

Vincent gave her a gentle kiss, and then carried her out, "I'll send you back."

Emily was a little surprised, "That's all?"

He used to kiss her so hard every time, but this time Vincent only gently kissed her and was about to leave.

Vincent looked at her and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm afraid that if you stay any longer, you won't be able to return tonight."

"..."

When he brought her back to her own bed, Vincent couldn't hold back any longer. He lowered his head and kissed her. Only after hearing Emily lost her breath did he let go of her and left in a strange posture.

Emily covered his mouth and giggled under the blanket.

That night, even the moon smelled sweet. The guards sat outside the balcony, eating melon seeds as they thought.

"Where's Emily?" Maury woke up early in the morning and didn't see his daughter. He was so scared that he soon went to look for Harold, who was also not there. He could only ask the butler.

The butler remembered that he was shocked when he saw Emily standing downstairs at half past six in the morning. After all, Emily was used to sleeping late. This was the first time she got up so early. Of course, he did not know that Emily had changed. Even if she got up early, she would only stay in her room and read books. It was impossible for him to know that.

The butler thought for a moment and said, "She said she went to the countryside."

Maury raised his eyebrows and didn't seem to understand, "countryside?"

"For painting." Susan came out of the kitchen with a painting in her hand. "Look, this is from Emily."

Maury did not know painting, but he was happy to see his daughter concentrate on something with such high spirits. Therefore, he no longer asked more. "Just let Harold follow her. Don't let her get hurt."

"Yes, sir."

At this moment, Emily was sleeping in the car and Stephanie was in the back seat, wearing as much as she could to hide herself.

After passing the downtown area, she slowly took off her mask and sunglasses and rubbed her nose. "What you said last night scared me so much that I didn't sleep well. My grandfather died a long time ago. He couldn't be alive. You still don't believe me and insisted that I go and see..."

Emily opened her eyes and said, "It was you who don't believe me, so I'll show you."

Stephanie shrugged. "Alright, that's fine."

Harold took the hot buns and soybean milk that he bought in the morning and handed to Emily. "Miss Emily, you haven't eaten yet."

Emily took it and ate slowly with Stephanie in the back seat.

After drinking the soy milk, Emily looked at Stephanie and asked, "Do you know how to drive?"

"..."

Ever since she became an actress, she had a car to take whenever she traveled or at least had her assistant driven the car for her. Stephanie, who wished that someone could open her mouth for her to eat, first met someone who let her drive the car so that the bodyguard could eat breakfast.

As Stephanie drove, she looked at Harold in the rearview mirror. He took several bites to eat five steamed buns, and then drank a bottle of water in one breath. She nearly crashed into the car in front of her because of seeing him.

After he finished eating, Emily asked, "Is there any way to get it?"

Harold nodded.

Emily wanted the surveillance video at the entrance of the Garden Hotel last night because Sydnee and Eliot both met Marquise. She wanted to know if Marquise had publicly admitted that he had done something bad to Eliot last time.

Harold switched on Bluetooth and randomly played a song.

Although Emily felt that she did not need to beware of Stephanie, she could not show the bottom of her mind. Harold did the right thing. She said as the music started, "The decoration there has begun. Sydnee will be busy with the school in a few days. Find someone reliable to keep watch."

"Yes."

"I'll ask her to prepare the materials and hand them to you." Emily spoke very quickly. She must have already got a plan in her heart. "You can buy another set in her name and let Noah live inside. It would be too eye-catching to live in hotel. If they were found out, Ferne and Vincent would all be involved."

"Yes."

"A second-hand house would be enough. You two don't need to show up. Find someone to buy it."

"Yes."

Stephanie was disturbed by the loud song. As she turned down the music, she heard Harold say, "Yes!"

It turned out that Emily was telling this guard to do something. The song was turned on to guard against her. Stephanie turned up the music silently and listened to the exciting song. As they stopped at a red light, some people in the other car next to them all rolled down the car windows and sang together.

Stephanie: "..."

She rolled down her window and surprised a man in that car. He said to his backseat friends, "God, it is a woman who listens to this song. Great! Miss, you earn my respect."

"..."

Stephanie silently stepped on the accelerator.

Fortunately, they did not know her, otherwise she would been trending on the internet tomorrow. She even thought of the headline- "Stephanie, the famous star, drove herself with such excitement that she sang an exciting song along the way..."

She kept driving forward without asking where they were going. When Harold noticed that, they have been fifteen kilometers away from their destination.

"..."

Then Harold drove the car back to the Hump Village. There were still tire traces left on the path when Harold drove in last time. The moment the car entered the village, Emily noticed that Stephanie became stilted for a moment.

Until the car stopped, she still did not return normal.

After Emily got out of the car, she extended her hand towards Stephanie and said, "Aren't you getting off?"

Stephanie slowly got off the car and looked at the deserted village and road. She said in a tiny voice, "All dead."

Emily did not hear clearly, "What?"

Harold's eyes suddenly widened.

Stephanie looked at her and said word by word, "Fifteen years ago, all the people in this village died."
