Harry was like a wild animal frantically hitting Liam. His eyes were bloodshot just like his scary appearance on his birthday. Memories of his birthday party rushed back into Emma's mind, startling her and stopping her there.

The surrounding workers saw this chaotic situation and immediately stopped their work and ran to help Emma cease the fight. It wasn't until this moment that she was fully awake and ran over.

“Quick, help me drag him out.”

Try as she might, Emma couldn't stop him. Only three strong workers were able to pull him out and help Liam, who was beaten until his face was swollen and extremely pitiful, lying on the ground.

“Harry, stop. Calm down, listen to me!” Emma wrapped her arms around him tightly, her small body trying to hold him.

However, Harry was so insane at this point that he still wanted to jump up and hit more. Until she accidentally fell to the ground, “Ah… So hurt.”

Her painful scream seemed to have a power that helped him awaken.

    The hall was buzzing like a disturbed beehive.Each photo of Harry and Emma shown on the screen looked a bit blurry, but their charismatic looks were unmistakable. Even the image of two people leaning against a car and kissing passionately was extremely artistic like a romantic movie.Emma quickly regained composure, it was clear they had been followed and secretly photographed for a while without knowing it. Her expression gradually darkened, and she stood up straight, clutching the microphone and the award in her hand:“Please ask the ceremony's technical department to return the screen to the main content. Thank you for welcoming me with such a series of very unique images."Unique? Everyone was listening silently to what she said and then reacted strongly again.This woman was so shameless, their thoughts were bursting out into words.

    “Oh no…” Mrs. Garcia cried out in panic, quickly running to pull Mr. Garcia out.Emma's hand cupped her cheek, the pain from the slap just now still on her red face. But her whole body froze as if she were rooted to the ground. The beautiful almond eyes opened wide, and a layer of tears appeared, but it stubbornly refused to fall. She pursed her trembling lips to calm her emotions.Mr. Garcia was still angry and pushed Mrs. Garcia away, pointing straight at Emma:"Today I have to beat this damn daughter to death. She took advantage of the time I was in the hospital to riot and sold her self-esteem to get married. Yet she dared to hide it from us for so long, and in the end, we, her parents, even knew after the damn media.”“Please calm down. You promised me that you would come and talk to her properly.” Mrs. Garcia sighed sadly and continued to try to dissuade him.Mr. Garcia's face turned red with anger, and his breathing was difficult, causing him to repeatedly pat his chest. He was

    The sound of hurried footsteps echoed down the stairs. Emma panicked, opened the door, and ran out, slamming it shut behind her. She sprinted through the hospital corridor, her face pale with fear. Many people turned to look at her and were curious about her frantic demeanor, but she didn't have time to pay attention to them. She continued to the hospital's backyard, all the while casting nervous glances over her shoulder.Kate William and that man reached the ground floor only to find it deserted. Infuriated, she slapped him hard and hissed, "You fool. Do you realize your stupidity? If word gets out about what you've just said, I will have you killed, and don't expect another penny from me.""I... I didn't know anyone was there," he stammered, backing away with visible fear.His attention shifted to a silk handkerchief on the ground, "Mrs. Handerson, there's a handkerchief at your feet. Probably dropped by the person we just discussed."Kate's eyebrows furrowed as she picked it up. T

    Emm had just closed the iron door when a large man with muscular arms grabbed her neck from behind:“Heh heh, the prey has finally taken the bait. A naive little girl dared to follow us to this place. If you're tired of living, we can help fulfill your wish."“No… Let me go.” She raised her voice and swung the bag in her hand right at the man's face, causing him to stumble backward.Seeing that her body had escaped the man's control, she turned around and hit him directly in the groin, then pushed open the door to step inside and locked it.The dark space was illuminated by a bit of weak winter sunlight through the dusty window. Charles was tied to a wooden chair sitting in the middle of the silent room. As soon as he saw her enter, his eyes widened in surprise and fear gradually appeared on his face:“Emma, run away quickly. Now try to run out onto the main road and you'll still have time."“No, there's a guy outside the door.” She ran towards him to untie the ropes, “I've already se

    Bang!In the middle of a quiet intersection, Harry's car suddenly swerved to the right and crashed into the sidewalk, causing the front of the car to be severely dented. But its situation was nothing compared to the truck that crashed straight into the electric pole, causing the entire space to fill with black smoke.Harry hugged her small body tightly to his chest, and his body was slammed against the side of the car, making him turn pale in pain.Emma's almond eyes widened in fear as if she still couldn't believe that she had just narrowly escaped death. If the driver was just one second slower, the entire Rolls Royce would be within the truck's sights...She called out with a trembling voice, “Ha… Harry.”He became alert earlier than her, observing that everything around him was still fine. Because this area did not have many passersby in the morning, the recent accident did not cause any casualties, except for the truck itself.Gently rubbing her back, he gently comforted her, "It

    “What the hell are you doing?”Amidst the suffocating air, Harry's angry voice roared. He aggressively ran to push the policeman who was escorting Emma, his whole body tightly hugging her in his arms.Raymond Edward, Charles's brother, crossed his arms over his chest. His upright posture added to the majesty of his square face, "Harry Handerson, we have found evidences that your wife coordinated with those thugs to launch this kidnapping. This is a temporary detention order, I have to take her to the station for further investigation."Having said that, Raymond held up the detention order that had been stamped in a very prominent red seal. Immediately, he ordered another policeman to separate Harry and Emma.At this point, Emma still couldn't believe what she heard. She calmed down a bit and laughed as if she had just heard a funny story. Raising his wrist locked by handcuffs, “Mr. Edward, are you serious?”“I was the one who ventured to help your younger brother. What kind of relatio

    "Don't cling to me."Harry coldly pushed the woman away, tossed his vest onto the sofa, and sat down. He loosened his tie, revealing the chiseled chest hidden beneath his white shirt, directing his icy gaze towards the woman still standing bewildered by the door."Aren't you going to close the door, Iris?" He frowned slightly, his voice icy.Iris smirked a little. She quickly closed the door and took a seat beside him on the sofa. Her slender legs crossed, making her nightdress appear even shorter. She leaned back with one arm supporting her head, gazing at him in a seductive manner.The pale pink lacy nightdress clung to her, accentuating every alluring curve. Any ordinary man would certainly find it hard to tear his eyes away from her, let alone when she was actively trying to seduce him like this.Iris grabbed Harry's tie, not to pull him closer but to lean in herself, inhaling deeply the scent of his body. She then remarked, "Hmm… The scent of a married man is quite distinctive."

    Dreamily opening her eyes to the pristine white ceiling, Emma placed a hand on her throbbing temple. She felt warmth on her other hand and, turning slightly, saw the familiar face of Harry.He whispered softly, "Emma, you're awake."She tried to pull her hand away, but a sharp pain shot through her, making her wince, "Why are you still here?""Listen to me. The detective has some leads on the mastermind behind everything, but their tactics are far more devious and cunning than Kate's. I have to play a risky move to trap them," he explained simply, but Emma could hear the sincerity in his every word.He gently caressed her thin face, "You've lost weight in just a few days. Don't worry about the company; I still have control. Once your name is cleared, I'll return everything to you."Emma tilted her head, her gaze a mix of bewilderment and determination, "Can I trust you?""Of course, I'd never harm you," Harry momentarily stiffened before offering her a tender smile."What about my fat

    "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
