“Yes, Mr. Hall”
After saying that, Levi promptly sprang into action.
Only Emma and Liam were left in the room. They appeared calm, but deep down, they were very clear about the severity of this matter.
Liam stepped forward, placing his large hand on Emma’s head. Then, he gently pressed her cheek against his chest
and pulled her in his arms.
He comforted her, “Don’t be afraid. I won’t let anything happen to you. If we can’t find the chip within 48 hours, I have other ways.”
Liam was even willing to take the blame for her.
The dignified heir to the Halls Group would rather go to prison himself than let Emma suffer.
Emma understood his feelings and hugged him tightly in return.
She could smell the cedarwood scent on the man’s body and gradually calmed down.
Having experienced their separation in the previous life, every minute and every second in this life was so
precious.
She didn’t want to be separated from him anymore.
“I have a suspect,” Emma confessed.
Liam stared into her eyes. “You have a lead?”
Emma recalled Faith’s sudden friendliness that morning, and the shooting angle of the video subtly reminded her
of something.
However, everything was just a speculation.
The police had taken the video. So, they couldn’t watch it again.
Fortunately, Emma had a good memory and could roughly reconstruct the filming location.
She immediately called Josiah.
“Josiah, send screenshots of all security cameras at Charon to me now!”

Josiah was very skilled at accessing surveillance cameras.
In just a few minutes, he sent all camera locations at Charon Military School to Emma.
Emma carefully inspected the screenshots of hundreds of cameras.
Soon, she discovered that the video wasn’t taken from any of those cameras.
Even if the discrepancy was less than one inch, she could tell immediately.
Emma looked at the computer screen and said seriously, “Honey, someone has been following me in secret. recently.”
Liam’s expression instantly darkened.
“Are you saying that the video just now wasn’t taken from a security camera?” asked Liam.
Emma replied, “Yes, someone followed and took the video.”
This person was very familiar with her every move and even recorded it.
Obviously, Emma was targeted.
“If I find out who this person is, I won’t let him off,” Liam said.
His tone revealed a murderous intent.
Emma exited the program and stood up straight, saying, “We just need to find out who took this video and we’ll
know where the chip is.”
At the same time, Emma reminded Lane to be wary of Faith, “If you see Faith acting suspiciously or trying to plant something, just catch her in the act and report it immediately.”
Faith realized it was more difficult to execute her scheme.
No matter what she tried, she couldn’t get close to Emma’s personal belongings.
Whether it was the dormitory bed or the classroom, someone was always guarding.
Even in the locker room where they had tampered with Emma’s belongings last time, Emma had replaced the lock with a custom one that couldn’t be opened. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Faith could only contact Derek in frustration.
She hoped that they could send some people to lure Lane away.
The 48–hour deadline was pressing.
In the blink of an eye, a large portion of the time had passed.
But Emma hadn’t made any progress.
She had taken leave to focus on finding the chip and returned to Icovine Estate.
As she stepped through the large black iron gate of the spacious courtyard, she felt her phone vibrate.
Seeing the caller ID, she stopped in her tracks.
“Hello?” The voice on the phone was altered by a voice changer. It was a woman’s sharp voice that sounded cold and clear in the quiet night. “Guess what will happen if I reveal your glorious past deeds in King’s Association?”
Emma’s expression turned grim. The King’s Association was an underground organization. Exposing her past training at this critical juncture would only aggravate things.
She knew that if something happened to her, the King’s Associate would definitely throw her under the bus.
“So? What do you want?” asked Emma.
The caller said, “Look, even if you’re not in the King’s Association, there are many people with ulterior motives out there. Without the protection of the organization, how long do you think you can last? Come back. As long as you show undivided loyalty, I can let bygones be bygones. Or do you want to go to jail and be separated from your
beloved Mr. Hall?”
Emma did not respond.
She glanced at the brightly lit villa not far ahead.
Under the streetlight, her red lips curved into a cold smile.
‘Now that you mention it, I feel like giving it a try,” said Emma.
She wanted to see if she could manage just as well without the King’s Association.
As long as she got through this, what didn’t break her would make her stronger.
Emma hung up the phone and walked inside.
The living room shone brightly with the presence of the four extraordinarily handsome men sitting on the sofa
There were Liam, Daniel, Richard, and Sean.
-men looked at Emma in unison.
Any one of them alone was strikingly handsome, and together, the visual impact almost made Emma
They looked like they could debut as a boy band right then
Emma asked, “Uncles, why are you all here?”
and there!
Sean was the first to step forward. He had just finished filming and looked dazzlingly handsome.
He said, “Emma, we are worried about you, so we’re discussing a plan together.”
Richard nodded.
gasp.
Daniel also said, “Philip will be here in an hour. He’s usually busy in the lab, but when he heard about your situation, he dropped everything and chartered a flight back!”
“What? Uncle Philip is coming too!” Emma was surprised.
This news undoubtedly lightened up her recently stressful life.
Emma had never seen Philip before but had heard that he was a genius.
She had admired him for a long time.
Liam walked over and gently helped her remove her backpack before handing it to a servant.
He said, “You must be tired. Sit down and get some rest while we talk about this.”
“Okay. You’re the best!” said Emma.
Seeing everyone there, she felt a little better.
Especially when she was with Liam, she always felt a sense of security..
Sean felt a pang in his heart seeing the affectionate interaction between his niece and Liam.
Sean remarked, “Emma… we are heartbroken hearing you say that. You only have eyes for your husband.”
“You should be happy for me that my husband treats me well,” Emma retorted.
Richard agreed and said seriously, “That’s right. Liam is a good man. It’s a good thing that Emma is in love with him. Sean, we should give them our blessings.”
Sean thought, “What do you know, you stupid straight guy?”
But he didn’t dare to say it, fearing Richard would beat him up.

Daniel was long accustomed to their bickering and smiled faintly.
With the return of their beloved niece, the previously tense atmosphere in the villa eased a bit.
Emma sat on the sofa and leaned against Liam while eating the dessert he had brought back.
“Uncle Philip gets here, he will also support me. Right, Uncle Daniel?” asked Emma.
Daniel nodded. “Yes, he came back to help you.”
