The atmosphere in the grand hall shifted sharply as all eyes turned to the unfolding spectacle. Andrew, catching sight of Harry's commanding presence, instinctively straightened. His face turned white, and then he bowed down to apologize profusely:

“Harry, I'm sorry for my rudeness.”

“The person you need to apologize to is not me.” The chilly voice made a cold sweat run down Andrew's spine.

Turning slowly, Andrew's gaze met Emma's. The calm poise on her face only heightened his unease. Looking down at his shirt that had just been wet with wine, his mood became extremely bad.

Looking at Harry holding Emma's shoulder to protect her, a thought popped into his head, "Miss Emma," The corner of his mouth curled up into a crooked smile, "It seems that Mr. Harry is quite the guardian. I wonder what kind of relationship you have with him?”

Immediately, a hushed murmur swept the hall, a ripple of eager anticipation.

Emma's expression immediately became unnatural. She tried to push him away, but

    “Alright, you definitely haven't had dinner yet. Come with me.”Emma tiredly leaned her head on Harry's back. Seeing that he wanted to stand up, she affectionately shook his arm, "Haiz, just a little bit. I'm so tired."“No, you have to worry about your stomach. Recently you have been working too hard.” Harry bent down to take Emma's high heels, his other hand lifted her easily, cradling her close to his chest.Emma's body was extremely small and very light. She instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her face in his strong shoulder. The familiar scent entered her nostrils, making her feel extremely comfortable. She said with a soft whisper:“My acting was not bad, right? Just a small action is enough to be an excuse for you to cancel the bidding results of Jollycorps company. But I don't know how Andrew will take revenge on my company."Emma recalled the conversation with Tony Smith before attending William's family party. He asked her to perform a play with Harry so

    "Dad, you should tell me in advance so I can pick you up at the airport."Harry calmly stepped over the broken glass, walked up to Albert Handerson, and bowed solemnly to him. His calm voice made him even angrier.Albert placed a thick file of documents on the table. An angry voice echoed throughout the large living room, "Why did you cut off the funding sources for the London branch? I gave you the takeover of the company but I didn't tell you to destroy it."He slowly stood up straight without Albert's permission. Sitting down on the chair, he crossed his legs and looked straight into his father's eyes. From childhood to adulthood, the Handerson family strictly educated their children. If his father didn't let him sit, he would never be able to sit.But today, Harry did not care about that anymore.He smiled softly, his expression very calm and gentle as if he had anticipated the situation, "Did she ask you to advise me? If she has time, she should give up the money to save her son

    Bang!Selena angrily slammed the car door shut. She threw her bag forward and stomped her foot on the car floor without being able to say a word.David saw her sitting in the car and immediately sat up straight, wincing a little at her harsh actions, "Selena, what happened?"“That bitch Emma! She didn't choose me as a promotion model for her company's project. She even dared to humiliate me in front of everyone. Unbelievable! OMG, so infuriating!" Selena replied grumpily.“Emma? Is she already working at her family's company?" David was a bit surprised. Up until now, he knew that Emma had always fought with her family to be free to pursue the job she liked. He did not expect that one day she would accept to join the family company according to her father's wishes.Selena frowned tightly. She tilted her head to look at David, "Hey David! I'm talking about being offended by Emma. Why do you always care about that bitch?"David started the car, turned the steering wheel, and prepared to

    Charles Edward used his strength to break David's arm, causing him to cry out in pain. Kicking David aside, he elegantly dusted off his hands and said with a smile:"Sir, please don't appear at our company next time. If I see you again, I will definitely call the police to report you for harassment." He threatened with a tone dripping with amusement.David held his arm in pain and slowly stood up. Anger was clearly visible on his face, he shouted harshly, "I will sue you first for intentionally hitting me..."Before finishing his sentence, when he saw Charles's face clearly, he mumbled a few words and then fell silent. He pointed straight at Charles's face, his eyes narrowed slightly, his voice somewhat uncertain:“Charles? Chairperson student council…"Charles did not pay attention to David's warning. He nudged David's shoulder and strode toward Emma, his smile warming her day like the first rays of dawn, "Boss, everything is alright?"Emma was still bewildered by the situation happe

    "Selena," Emma's voice dripped with icy calm, “If you covet my man, you can tell me in advance. Who knows, maybe I would step aside and give in. Don't turn yourself into a ruminant like that, okay?" Emma tried to stay calm.On the other end of the phone, Selena laughed sarcastically, “Your man? Do you think I don't know your relationship? Do you dare to give in?”Selena's attitude was extremely challenging, she was proud as if she were the winner, "How noble of you. He is the CEO of HJS Group. You must be so sorry that you're about to cry... But now, you know, he seems to really like me."Emma's fingers clenched tight, her breathing even, refusing to rise to Selena's bait. If she turned crazy and cursed at Selena right now, it would prove that she lost as Selena predicted.“Why did you do this to me? Didn’t we used to be best friends?" Emma asked gently, her voice trembling slightly as if she was trying to control her emotions.Selena's laughter was extremely shrill, “Best friend? You

    "How do you feel about this plan, Miss Emma?"A man, standing next to the projector screen showcasing his plan, turned to ask Emma as soon as he finished speaking. As the leader of the meeting, all eyes in the room were pinned on her, awaiting her opinion."Miss Emma?" Seeing no response from her, the man inquired again.Charles gently tapped Emma's arm. Only then did she seem to snap back to reality. Even with meticulous makeup, the dark circles under her eyes couldn't be fully concealed. This drained face was a stark contrast to the usual energetic Emma.The rest of the attendees silently exchanged glances."Miss Emma, you have been overworking yourself recently. I think you should leave early and rest. I will compile the report of today's meeting and email it to you," suggested the Director of the R&D department, breaking the silence.Charles, filled with concern, looked at Emma. Without waiting for her reply, he stood up, "I agree. Miss Mia, could you please take over for her? She

    "Madam, things are not as you think. Boss is just concerned while he was away..." Tony Smith hurriedly stood up, explaining seriously while Harry remained utterly composed.Emma was so furious that she found it hard to breathe, her chest heaving, indicating she was trying to keep her anger in control:"Harry Handerson, I genuinely believed you were kind-hearted towards me. I even think our two-year contract will pass peacefully, at least with you always caring for and respecting me. But now, I see I was wrong. You don't give me any privacy, and even when you have other women outside, I don't have the right to speak up... It's about the $10 million, right? I will find a way to pay you back right now."Harry frowned, grabbing her wrist and pulling her back as she attempted to leave, "Who told you I have other women outside?""Are you playing dumb? Once my company's project is successful, I'll repay you. Then, I'd have every reason to demand that you terminate our contract, right?" Emma

    The cashier looked up at her computer screen. Her voice was gentle and polite, "Miss, how would you like to pay?""By debit card, please." Emma quickly replied, handing her card to the cashier.However, a sudden idea crossed her mind, and she swiftly pulled the card back, extracting a black card from her purse that she had never used before, "Use this one instead."This black card was given to her by Harry before he left for his two-week business trip. He told her that if she wanted to shop, she could use his card, ensuring her that money would never be an issue with him. Yet, Emma had never touched it. Partly because she was not the type to splurge on high-end brands. Moreover, basic shopping needs had never been a problem for her. She was financially independent, so why lean on him?But if he could casually spend $5000 on a dress she had chosen for Selena, why shouldn't she use his money? If he wanted to flaunt his wealth, she would spend it all!Wandering around the mall lightened

    "Boss, Madam said you're exploiting her labor. She wants to resign.""Resign? I disagree." Harry wore his gold-rimmed glasses, focused on the stack of documents on the table. His hand continuously signed contracts that his company had recently won.As soon as he raised his head, it seemed like the sunlight of the summer sun could compare to his handsome face, "Has she not realized her mistake yet?"Observing Harry's calm expression, Martin silently chuckled. In front of others, Harry could maintain the cold and arrogant facade; however, facing his wife, could he keep up such composure?"What are you laughing at?" Harry glared at Martin, noticing his suppressed laughter."Boss, this time, Madam wants to resign as your wife. Besides working and taking care of Charlie, she claims constantly comforting you is too exhausting as a wife.""Impossible!" The deep hoarse voice suddenly raised its pitch.As soon as Martin finished speaking, Harry slammed the table, losing the calm demeanor he ha

    The sun was just rising. Soft light poured into the room, illuminating a couple cuddling affectionately in bed.“Good morning, baby.”“Morning.”Emma rubbed her eyes, gave Harry a peck on the lips, and stretched her body.Suddenly, Harry's large hand reached around Emma's bare waist. The contact of their skin gave Emma a cool sensation, and she let out a soft moan."What time is it? We need to take Charlie to school..." Her sweet voice still had a hint of huskiness as she pushed Harry's chest away and reached for her phone.However, Harry remained firm, holding onto her waist tightly. He bent down to kiss the white nape of her neck, his cool lips gliding over her soft skin as he inhaled her fragrance.“The school is right across the street. He can go to school on his own..."“Come on, Charlie's going to sulk again. I can't comfort him anymore..." She laughed, then ran her hands through his hair, tilted her head up and gently kissed his throat.“Ah…”Harry used one hand to push her hea

    "Want a smoke?""No, she doesn't like the smell of cigarettes."Harry shook his head in refusal, pushing the offered cigarette from Charles a bit away with his index finger.Charles stored the pack of cigarettes inside his vest pocket, casually leaned back against the car, and took a deep drag. He lifted his head to gaze at the pitch-black sky, devoid of moon and stars, remaining silent as time passed without uttering a word.Harry crossed his arms over his chest. The waft of cigarette smoke in the air made him slightly furrow his brow, his deep voice resonating, "If you've got something to say, say it out. I still need to get back to deal with some work at the company.""The first time I met her was in a corner of the university campus. I was facing off against a group of troublemaker students to protect a stray cat, and she came running, cursing them straight to their faces to defend me."Harry's expression stiffened suddenly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and a complex emotion

    In the capital city."Do you dare to show up at my doorstep?!" The fierce roaring voice carried immense anger, shaking the entire small villa.Mr. Garcia brandished a broom, driving Harry out towards the main gate. His chest heaved with rage, and he thrust the broom without mercy at Harry, but luckily he still avoided it.Pointing his finger directly at Harry's face, Mr. Garcia patted his chest to calm his breathing and said, "Get out of my sight quickly. Do you think bringing gifts to please me, I will allow you to be with my daughter?”The front door slammed shut, leaving Harry standing there looking pitiful and helpless.It seemed that the real difficulty had just arrived.A few hours earlier."Do you think this suit looks okay on me? Handsome enough? Does an all-black look from head to toe make me too scary?"Harry continuously adjusted his hairstyle while looking in the mirror. He then turned around for Emma and Charlie to admire. He nervously straightened the edges of his vest a

    "Harry!" The anguished call echoed in Emma's heart from a distance.At this moment, all the forces Manuel had arranged along with the police arrived to surround the black car. The mafia inside, realizing they had fallen into a trap, couldn't help but curse silently. They slammed the car doors shut, intending to escape, but found themselves unable to run."Daddy! Daddy!" Tears streamed down with Charlie's tender voice, making the scene even more heart-wrenching.A 5-year-old boy cried, clinging to his father in the shelter of his small arms. From start to finish, Harry used his body to shield Charlie from witnessing the horrifying scene that had just occurred.But Charlie sensed Harry's continuously heavy and weakening breath."Sweetie, mommy is coming. You mustn't cry. Daddy almost made a big mistake just now. I'm so sorry, baby..." He held Charlie tightly in his chest, gently stroking his head."Daddy, I don't want you to die. I haven't had a chance to tell you how much I love you, a

    "You've gone mad! The police have sealed off the landslide area; they'll quickly rescue anyone in distress. Stay put here for me!" Manuel commanded in a cold tone.He firmly held Emma's hands to prevent her from running forward."Let me go. I just came to check the situation. Harry and Charlie both went in that direction; they might have found a safe place," Emma protested."Stay here for me!" he repeated.Suddenly, his gaze focused on a black car passing on the other side of the mountain slope. A cold glint appeared in his eyes as he pressed Emma down under the seat.Uncomfortable with his rough actions, Emma raised her voice, "What are you doing? You still haven't answered me about why you're here. I'll go wherever I want.""Listen to me; you must not leave this area. Everything that happens after this must follow the police's arrangements." Manuel lowered his voice, looked at her seriously, and spoke a few words before quickly running off.Emma stared at his retreating figure in be

    At the hospital."Did Manuel take away the test results? Wasn't the appointment for this afternoon?"Emma was frustrated with the hospital's way of doing things. She crossed her arms over her chest, took a deep breath to regain her composure, then tilted her head to look at Harry.His mood was calm again as he reached out to embrace her shoulders, pulling her close, and gently smiled at the doctor, "How are the test results? Surely, you must have recorded them on the computer?"Emma's delicately arched eyebrows twitched. She shifted away from him, giving him a stern look. Simultaneously, he leaned down to kiss her on the lips, giving her a playful wink and holding her tighter."I couldn't find any relevant records. It seems the doctor who conducted that test didn't document the results.""What? You guys are so irresponsible. First, there's a mistake in the test, and now you've lost the result notification for the patient..."The young female doctor in front of Emma looked a bit fluste

    "Absolutely not. There must be some mistake here."Emma stood up abruptly, slamming the test results onto the table. She pointed at the paper, one hand leaning heavily on the table, and raised her voice in an angry interrogation of the young doctor, "Are you sure you haven't mixed up someone else's results?""Madam, I assure you these results are completely accurate. The paper even has the names of this gentleman and the child written on it.""Immediately retest for me." Harry gritted his teeth as he spoke. He leaned both hands on the table, his gaze like bullets putting pressure on the young doctor.The doctor, trembling, held up the paper and looked through it hesitantly, stammering, "You can request a retest, but it's after office hours now, and the DNA testing lab won't be operational. You can come back tomorrow to receive the results.""Fine, no need for a retest. We accept these results."Only now did Manuel speak up in his calm and composed voice. A faint glint appeared in his c
