Emily was alone with Jeffry in her room. She asks Jared and Shila to leave and assures them that she will be fine. Shila takes it easy because she doesn't know who Jeffry Allen is, and all she knows is the man's intention to build a business together with Emily, while Jared is different.

Jared couldn't forget Jeffry's piercing gaze, as if he knew Jared well and now came with a purpose.

Emily didn't see it the same way. To her, Jeffry Allen had been created as a package deal with a loud and arrogant character. So she was not surprised to see how the interaction between Jeffry and Jared went.

"I didn't know you were in the hospital." The man started the conversation with a gaze that could not be separated from Emily, who was still lying down with a bruised face in several parts and an ear still covered with bandages.

"When did you arrive in Eastonville? I'm sorry I asked you to come here; I was afraid I wouldn't be able to make it to your office on time."

The man brought his face closer

    Emily was still in the hospital and undergoing treatment. However, Shila continued to accompany her and help her with her office work. Although sometimes bored, at least the presence of Shila and Jared, who attended alternately, could slightly treat the boredom.Emily only asked that they keep her condition a secret from Charles and Emma. Emily did not want her adoptive parents to worry and overthink about her health while forgetting their old condition.And one more thing, Jeffry Allen began to come to visit since he knew that Emily was still in the hospital.Jeffry used various things as an excuse so Emily would not mind his arrival. In fact, it was not uncommon for him to suddenly appear without giving any news. One stubborn man should be enough, and Jeffry's presence seems to be a rival for Jared.Let's not forget Alex, who until now continues to contact Emily, but the woman did not tell her whereabouts at all. Not even since her vacation to Bali. And now, Alex sounds anxious when

    Alex was already in Emily's room. He was still speechless. Seeing his best friend's condition shocked him. Emily did not say anything, but Alex could already guess what had happened to the woman lying in front of him, looking at her while giving a warm smile. With several men around her, there was no way Jason would leave it at that. Although Alex didn't know the underlying reason, she was sure Jason would use any means to bring Emily back into his life. "Why are you silent, Alex? Say something! Are you going to be like that until later?" Emily said, successfully dispersing Alex's imagination, which had guessed many things. The man smiled wryly, then grasped Emily's hand for a moment. "I didn't want to say anything that would ruin your mood, Em. How are you now? Can I know what made you like this?" the man urged faintly. Emily shrugged. "Just accidents and mishaps, Alex, you don't need to worry. You can see, I'm still my usual self. It's just that, at first, my ears felt like th

    Emily was still thinking about Jeffry's words, which sounded like a threat to her. What exactly underlies Jeffry's attitude? Until now, Emily has absolutely no idea. Although Shila said clearly that Jeffry seemed to like Emily and maybe even fall in love with her, Emily did not easily believe it.They had just met, and that was because of a misunderstanding, so how could there be love?Emily didn't believe in love at first sight, which had no basis to be a reason for love to grow. Love that is easy to grow will be easy to end."Don't compare it to Jason, Em. That man is mama's boy, so he can't appreciate your sincere feelings for him. As for Jeffry, he's different. I think you should consider giving him a chance to get closer. So that you can get to know him better."Emily couldn't just say yes, because what Shila said was a guess. To Emily, Jeffry's words sounded more like a threat. And maybe Emily was right because right after Shila finished with the file she had to hand over to Emi

    "Who is that guy, Ed? Why does he keep approaching my ex-wife?" Jason asked the man sitting across the table from him. However, the man sitting beside him could not give a definite answer. "It appears to be one of Miss McKennel's clients, sir. Because from what I heard, they will be working on a project to build property units around our office." Edward gave the information as he got it without any cover-up. However, Jason was not satisfied with that. "What's he building property units around our office for, Ed?" asked Jason, who was getting impatient with how Jeffry kept approaching Emily. "I'm sorry, sir. I don't know his motive either. However, it could be just for business because he owns a famous club business. Even on the island of Bali. That's where he and Ms. McKennel met, reportedly." Jason seemed to clench his hands under the table. Edward did not see it directly. However, from the tightening of Jason's facial veins, as well as his tightened jaw, Edward could deduce that

    Emily didn't understand what made her open the door to an arrogant and dominant man like Jeffry this time. All she knew was Jeffry was cold, and Emily couldn't let him freeze to death outside.However, that was all the two could do, especially since Shila had not moved from that spot. The girl seemed unwilling not to witness the interaction between Emily and Jeffry."Ahem...." Jeffry cleared his throat once while glancing at Shila, who was still in place while scrolling through the phone screen. "Miss Andreas, don't you want to make us some drinks?"Shila, enjoying herself, got up and headed to the kitchen to fulfill Jeffry's request.It wasn't that she wanted to do the bidding of a man who wasn't her boss—because Emily was the one who should be ordering things. However, Shila didn't want to interfere with Jeffry's attempt to get close to Emily."What do you want to talk about, Jeff? It's late, and the people here know that I'm married," Emily said, breaking the silence that had gripp

    Emily hadn't even woken up when Jeffry was at her door. Shila greeted him, and Jeffry engaged her in a brief conversation as they sat on the porch and enjoyed the morning air.They were silent for a while. There were all kinds of thoughts running through Jeffry's mind. And so did Shila. Questions about how much Jeffry loves Emily, his best friend."How is Emily?" Jeffry finally started the conversation that had been paused in silence.Shila nodded, preparing to answer the ambiguous question that Jeffry already knew the answer to."As you can see, sir. Emily is fine and has improved. However, I don't know why she still wants to obey your order to keep using that wheelchair."Jeffry unconsciously broke into a faint smile. His eyes sparkled as if he was genuinely happy.So what about his conversation with Jason? Why did Jeffry seem to hold a grudge against the McKennel family? And what does all this have to do with Emily?"Maybe it's just a formality. Because Emilia feels she has to appr

    Emily did not immediately respond to Jeffry's words. She was giddy, of course. She could not accept a man she had only known for a few days and suddenly asked her to marry him.What exactly was in Jeffry's mind that he could propose to Emily at such an inopportune time?Emily enjoyed breakfast with Shila and Jeffry with mixed feelings.Several times Jeffry turned to Emily, who hid her face, but she didn't know that the man who had just proposed was still watching her.Only Shila realized."Ahem, I think I'm done and going to take a shower. Are you guys okay if I leave?" asked Shila to ensure that Jeffry and her best friend wouldn't fight like they usually do.They nodded simultaneously, then let Shila walk away from where they were."You haven't answered yet," Jeffry said, trying to break the silence."You're not asking; how can I answer?" replied Emily, annoyed that Jeffry didn't look at her current situation and just said magic words like Emily was a free woman.She was pregnant!

    Emily sat in Charles's office like a pain in the ass. After witnessing how close Emily and Jeffry were, Charles began to feel anxious. He certainly didn't want to repeat his past foolishness by allowing Emily to have a relationship with Jeffry.However, it was not easy to ban a woman like Emily. Therefore, even though she has no heart for Jeffry, her father is willing to explain why he wants Emily to stay away from Jeffry."You don't need to know the reason, Em. One thing is for sure, that man is not a good person. He will make your life miserable until you die."Charles' words, of course, made Emily shudder in horror. What was the extent of Jeffry's behavior that Charles had dubbed him a murderer? Had anything happened to make him so antipathetic towards Jeffry?"But you've made me so curious. Why do you call Jeffry a murderer? Has he ever taken someone's life?"Emily continued to pepper Charles with similar questions to answer her burning curiosity. However, Charles did not want to

    Three months laterJason visited Emily and brought her a box of chocolates and a bouquet of her favorite flowers. Lili and Peonies that Jason still remembers today.Emily seemed happier than before, and of course, Jason's feelings also began to slowly calm down because he was freer to meet his son and spend time with Liam and Emily.She no longer rejects Jason's presence because she also needs him in Liam's care. She doesn't think of another love; her life is only for Liam now. She will do anything for her baby."Have you eaten yet? I brought your favorite food. Chinese food and spaghetti," Jason said with a bright smile.Seeing what Jason had brought and placed on the dining table, the two hazel eyes rounded."Seriously, Jase, this is a lot. Who's going to finish it?" asked Emily. "I'm on a diet."Jason chuckled at his ex-wife's words and got up and walked over to her, and grabbed both her hands."You still have to breastfeed Liam, and then your figure will return on its own.""What

    In a different place, Jason repeatedly clucked and swore because Alex didn't come. Where did he go to relieve himself for so many minutes? Jason suspected that instead of going to the bathroom to relieve himself, Alex was meditating.Jason looked at the black clock in his hand. The long hand of the clock had changed to four. That meant he had been in his apartment for over twenty minutes."Where is he?" muttered Jason.Jason checked his cell phone. It was dead, so he couldn't use it to contact Alex. After charging it in the car, it finally turned on.Jason hurriedly searched for Alex's contact name. As soon as he wanted to call, three messages appeared from the person he was waiting for.Jason opened them. There was one slightly long video there. A little suspicious, Jason finally played it. In the video, he only saw a white image. Jason snorted in annoyance."What is he doing exactly." Just about to press the button again, Jason heard a voice. The white video finally changed, showing

    Jason ignored Alex's words. At Alex's house, Jason had a heated argument with the man. Shila even had to break it up. Because of the woman's words, Jason left and returned to his apartment to get something. He was going to get ready to meet Jeffry.Who would have thought that Alex would follow him? Finally, the man stopped at the door of his apartment."Move!" Jason said for the umpteenth time but did not get a response from Alex. Alex shook heis head. "You want to get into more trouble? If there's anything wrong with Jeffry, he can deny all charges," Alex explained. The man's face looked solemn."Then, you want me to stand by while he manages to make Emily the victim of his physical and sexual abuse? You want me to stay silent and let him laugh out loud in the hospital bed?" Jason's eyes were full of flames of anger.Alex looked down because he couldn't bear to stare at the man's eyeballs, which seemed ready to destroy his through invisible lasers. Alex clenched his fists. Honest

    Shila bit her lip. Her heart beat fast because the two people she was waiting for had disappeared. "What are they looking for? What took them so long?"Evil thoughts about her two friends immediately came to mind. Maybe they were caught and were being beaten up by the burly guards.Shila shook his head. Her heart almost jumped when she heard a noise next to her. She thought she was caught too, but it was far from it as she saw Jason and Alex.Shila then approached the two of them. "Are you guys okay? Did you make it?"Jason nodded. "Looks like luck is on our side. We managed to get the footage." Jason took the pen drive he had saved and showed it to Shila.The woman let out a long sigh. Showing that a heavy burden had just been lifted. Shila, who had been filled with fear, could now smile broadly. "Good. With that recording, Emily can get out of prison right away."Alex patted his shirt. "Before that, we have to see the video."Jason put his arm around Alex. He slipped the car keys in

    The three people who had just arrived were invited to sit by a man wearing a black suit. Jason thought it was not the same suit he had worn last night. The man, who was in his forties, looked fit. However, a few gray hairs appeared in his hair."So, what's your plan?" asked Jason as he looked through the documents before him."You haven't introduced them to me yet," said Mark, full of awareness, then took turns looking at Alex and Shila.Alex hurriedly held out his hand as a sign of introduction and seemed more polite. "Ah, sorry. I'm Alex, Emily's best friend."Mark welcomed the handshake kindly. Seeing what Alex did, Shila also did the same."Sorry, Jason was probably too excited to investigate this case. So, he didn't have time to introduce the two of us." Shila smiled sweetly. "Oh yeah, introduce me to Shila, Jason, and Emily's best friend, the current suspect."Mark also greeted Shila kindly. "Okay. I'm Mark Jefferson. Jason's father's best friend and the detective he appointed t

    Jason's idea then made the three people pay full attention to Tamara. From now on, Jason will take over the investigation of the woman. Meanwhile, Alex and Shila will look for something about Jeffry. Both are determined to make the man pay for what he did to their best friend."I'm going home.""What for?" Shila's brow furrowed. "What about Tamara? Don't you want to investigate on your own?"Jason nodded. "I am. But I'll ask my parents to contact Detective Jefferson. I didn't get a chance to meet them yesterday."Alex patted Jason's shoulder. "Alright. You can go home; we will look for information about Jeffry.""Good. Then I'll go now. You guys take good care of it."Alex and Shila answered together with confidence.Jason excused himself and headed straight to his parent's house. Yesterday, he didn't meet them because Jared's presence made him emotional. The man who had the misfortune of being Jared's brother chose to leave rather than cause a more complicated commotion.

    Emily was indeed much safer at Alex's mansion. After Shila and Jason took turns visiting her today, due to the weekend, the four got together and discussed Liam.Jason, suspicious of Tamara, let her stay in his apartment with Aaron. However, with Emily in Alex's residence, Jason has to go back and forth between his apartment and Alex's house to ensure Emily is okay.After all, he doesn't know Alex, and anyway, Alex is a man who used to be very close to Emily. Even now, Jason still couldn't accept that fact."I can't say anything other than one thing; I'm keeping an eye on someone who might shed some light on Liam," Jason said as he reviewed the files on the report Jason had filed with the police. "They're not moving at all. Look!"Alex looked thoughtful as she heard Jason's words."Don't you think someone influential plays a role in this case? Who knows if it's true? I can confirm that Jeffry is the one," Alex said."You mean Jeffry paid the police not to investigate this case? This i

    Tamara had just finished showering. She waited for Jason, who hadn't called her. "Where exactly is he? He hasn't even called me all day." Tamara scowled and headed for her dressing table. She looked at her reflection. Tamara saw a beautiful woman with a charming smile before her. Tamara liked the shape of her face. "No wonder so many men like me. Because I am beautiful," she praised herself. Reminiscing about the many men, Tamara could hardly believe that she had been in a relationship with Jason's brother-her current boyfriend. Tamara shook her head. The man was nothing more than an asshole. Tamara was too lazy to talk about it. Tamara stroked her belly. "It's probably a good thing me and Jared's baby wasn't born. Although I'm sad, there's no way I can hide that fact forever." Speaking of babies, Tamara remembered Aaron—Liam's new name, the son of Emily and Jason. Jeffry's words replayed in her head. She remembered clearly when Jeffry told her to get rid of Liam. The baby she now

    Jeffry didn't care that his cell phone kept ringing. He continued to curse Emily. That crazy woman had the nerve to stab him. Jeffry alerted his two guards to help. It didn't take long for the two guards to find Jeffry still on the bed with a knife stuck in his body.One of the guards called an ambulance. About fifteen minutes later, the ambulance finally arrived and took Jeffry to the hospital.The man swore that he would make Emily feel even more pain than before. Because of him, she had gotten into a place she hated.***Elsewhere, Emily managed to reach a pay phone. She called Alex and told him about her situation. Of course, Alex was surprised when he heard Emily's story. Even though it was late at night, Alex immediately drove to take Emily to his mansion. Alex also called Shila to come over, as well as Jason.Now, the three of them were at Alex's residence. Shila cried when she first saw Emily's condition. She was only wearing an oversized shirt and shorts. Emily wasn't even we
