The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 29. Flirty Guy
"Sorry, I want to be alone. I hope you don't mind to give me space. Thank you," Emily said coldly. Unfortunately, the stranger felt challenged. "Is that why you're traveling alone?" He put his hand on Emily's table. Leaning forward, he played with his eyebrows. "It's rare to find a woman as brave as you, Miss. I salute you." Emily rolled her eyes. She was really lazy to respond to the man. Carrying her tablet and book, she moved to Prince's seat. However, when she was about to reach for her bag, the stranger had already taken her seat. "Hey? Why are you sitting here?" Emily no longer had any respect. Her gaze turned cynical. Instead of feeling guilty, the man rested his chin and watched Emily's face with a faint smile. "Isn't this what you want? You deliberately shifted to give me a place beside you." The corners of Emily's lips twitched in disgust. "Please don't disturb me. I won't hesitate to report you if you keep bothering me." "I'm not bothering. In fact," the man p
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 30. Accepting the Challenge
"Does it hurt? He gripped your wrist so tightly earlier," Prince asked in a very gentle voice. Emily glanced. Prince turned out to be examining her hand carefully. He didn't seem like acting. In another seat, a man was observing them with an envious gaze. His expression was sour, his lips sneered. Suddenly, Prince kissed her wrist. Emily gasped. Her eyes widened. Her heart heated up. She felt Prince stole an opportunity. However, seeing the sincere smile on that handsome face, her scolding was suppressed. "Why don't you just punch him in the face? You said you're good when you fight. Next time, don't just bluff. Just beat up every man who is rude to you. Understand?" Emily blinked back tears. Her lips trembled. The turmoil in her heart had risen again, but she didn't want to discuss it. Their cover could be blown if they got into a fight. "You shouldn't come late, Prince. You shouldn't prepared me a surprise. Just fly with me from the start. That way, I would be happier."
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 31. Not a Paid Boyfriend
After one nod, Jasper went to the elevator. It was clear that he was the hotel owner. Meanwhile, Prince whispered, "Are you sure you want to accept his invitation? He could find out your identity, and if someone recognizes you in the dining room, we could go viral. The whole world could be in an uproar if they find out you have a future husband like me." "Relax. We are in the most geographically isolated country on earth. No one will recognize me. Now the most important thing is to silence that arrogant man. I really don't like it when someone embarrasses me." "He underestimated me. Why are you the one who's embarrassed?" Prince's eyes narrowed. Emily met his gaze with round eyes. "Do you forget? You are playing the role of my future husband. By him insulting you, that means he is insulting my taste. I can't allow that. Before continuing the mission, I need to teach him a lesson." While Prince smiled faintly, Emily patted his arm. "Now let's hurry. We have to have breakfast and t
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 32. Like a Royalty
"I can see it clearly, Miss Beauty. He's not from the upper class. Not even a businessman like us. Even though you've tried to cover him with expensive clothes, he still smells like proverty." Jasper glanced at Prince with a teasing look. Seeing that, Emily's face turned sullen. However, when she was about to speak, Prince interrupted. "Why did you judge me poor, Sir? Was it because of the clothes I wore on the plane?" "It's written on your face. Have you never looked in the mirror? You look lousy and worn out." Prince snorted unexpectedly. "You are not speaking based on facts or data then. That's just your assumption. Why? Is it because you're jealous?" Jasper gasped. "What are you saying?" "I have a flexible life. There is no business that I need to supervise. I can express myself freely. Even though I only rely on royalties, my life is more than enough. It feels meaningful." "Doesn't it mean you're poor?" "Is wealth only measured by money and possessions?" Prince ra
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 33. Searching for the Truth
"Quebracha is a property company?" Emily muttered after reading the company's website. Blinking, she gathered memories. At that moment, little Cayden's voice rang in her head. "My family's company operates in the property sector. That's why I'm interested in buildings. I want to follow in my father and uncle's path. But it looks like I will focus more on interior design." Emily sighed softly. She had often looked for information about property companies in T City. She had also read briefly about Quebracha. Not finding Cayden's name, she skipped it. But now, she couldn't be careless. With Jasper's clues, it was impossible for her to let Quebracha escape from her sight. "What made that family disappear? Could it be because of a power struggle?" Emily did another search on her phone. Unfortunately, what she wanted to know was not available. There was not a single major incident recorded by the internet regarding Quebracha. There was only positive news about the achievements
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 34. Just Memories
Arriving at a farm, Emily immediately knocked on the door. Her heart was pounding as she waited. She wasn't sure how to greet or ask. Her brain was too full of fear and anxiety. When the door opened, her back straightened. Her hands were clenched tightly at her sides, occasionally squeezing the pants. "Sky?" she greeted spontaneously as a woman appeared from inside. However, realizing that the figure in front of her was a middle-aged woman, she quickly corrected herself. "Mrs. Hills." Alice Hills was petrified. Her eyes flickered to study Emily's face. Occasionally she looked up at the sky, making sure that it was already dark. "Emily? What are you doing here?" she sighed. Emily smiled faintly. She realized that her eyes had heated up. Tears must have flowed there. "Sorry to bother you at this hour. I was actually planning to come tomorrow morning. But there's something important I need to ask Sky. Is she here?" Alice gaped wordlessly. She seemed unsure whether to answer
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 35. Shocking Reality
When she woke up, Emily stared wide-eyed at the round face in front of her. She remembered she had met Sky last night. She also remembered when everything turned dark. But now, why was Sky suddenly young again? "Is this a dream? I'm still asleep?" Blinking weakly, Emily checked the surroundings. She was in a small room. Her body lay on the bed. Her clothes were still the same as last night. Her body size too. So why was Sky any different? "Sky?" she asked quietly. Suddenly, the little girl with curly hair laughed. Her voice was similar to young Sky. "I'm not Sky, but Summer." Emily's eyebrows rose higher. "Summer? The one who accompanied Sky from France? The one who named a dog after me? You're a child?" The little girl nodded cutely. She was in sheep-patterned pajamas. With hands pressing her thighs, she looked adorable. "Yes, that's my name. I was born in winter, but Mama named me Summer. Mama said, I came into this world bringing warmth." She hugged herself. Emily
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 36. Locked in the Darkness
“This is what you found? Cayden has been lying here?” Emily choked with sadness. "That's what I first thought before finally, I discovered something odd." Emily's tears froze. "Something odd?" Sky opened the second page. Pieces of news articles were neatly arranged there. "These are the screenshots I wanted to show you. You know? At the time, it was big news. But in just a few hours, it was all gone." Emily's eyes trembled faintly. She studied the articles one by one. “Quebracha Mourns. A fatal accident has taken the life of their best son.” “Cayden Evans died after being rushed to hospital. Princeton Evans, his younger brother, is currently struggling through a critical phase." "The police are still investigating the cause of the accident. The Evans family suspects it was premeditated murder." Then, Emily's attention turned to a photo of two men who looked similar and familiar. It was like there were two Princes there. She couldn't tell which one was her former bodyg

The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard Extra Chapter 3. The Best Experience
At a height of 186 meters from the road, Emily's eyes lit up. The room she had just entered had glass walls. The view of Auckland city was beautifully displayed behind it. "Welcome to the tallest tower in NZ, Uncle and Auntie. This tower is an icon of Auckland city, built in 1994 with a total height of 328 meters. From this floor, you can enjoy a 360° view of the city. Your dinner will definitely be very romantic and impressive," Summer explained enthusiastically. Emily smiled sweetly. While embracing Cayden's waist, she whispered, "We didn't choose the wrong guide." Then, she looked back at Summer. "Thank you, Little Guide. I really like this place." Summer smiled. A sense of pride filled her heart. While putting her hands on her hips, she nodded firmly. "Then, enjoy your dinner, Auntie. Please take a seat at the table we have prepared especially for you. After you are finished, Mama and I will return." "Where are you going? Aren't you having dinner?" Sky shook her h
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard Extra Chapter 2. Honeymoon
"Uncle Cayden! Aunt Emily!" Summer greeted as the newlyweds exited the arrival gate. Her hand holding a piece of cardboard swung. Cayden and Emily's names stuck on it were almost scattered in the air. When Emily waved back at her from a distance, the toddler's laughter echoed. Her feet bounced happily. However, seeing how the newlywed walked, her joy turned to surprise. "Oh, Mama? What's wrong with Auntie's legs? Why is she walking like that?" Hearing her daughter's remark, Sky flinched. The curve of her lips froze. "I don't think there's anything wrong with Emily," she denied hesitantly. "No, Mama. Auntie doesn't usually walk like that. She just looks weird. Are her legs still sore from standing so much at her wedding last week? Or maybe, the dress was too heavy, so her legs were tired?" Sky grimaced. "Summer, how about we stop talking about that? Emily is a perfectionist. Her mood will be ruined if she knows someone thinks she's weird. Don't you want to provide the best ho
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard Extra Chapter 1. The First Night
"My Prince, are you sure you won't regret coming back here, to my family's house? We can still rent a hotel for our first night if you want," Emily whispered as Cayden carried her to their room. Cayden laughed softly. His breath tickled her ear. "Isn't this our house too? What's wrong with coming back here?" "There's nothing wrong. It's just," Emily lowered her head to hide her embarrassment, "my parents and siblings live here too. Is it okay if we do it near their rooms?" "We'll do it in our own room, Emily. They can't peek. Besides, we've discussed this before, right? You don't mind." Cayden secretly felt amused with his wife. Emily winced a little. "Yes, I did. But at that time, I didn't think this far." "How far?" Cayden raised an eyebrow. Now they had arrived upstairs. Seeing their bedroom door, Emily's heart raced. She swallowed hard. "I didn't take into account of the distance between our rooms and the direction of the soundwave. We're only one wall away fro
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 108. Winning in Life
"Be happy in your new life, Emily. Don't cry anymore," Louis whispered. "I'm not a crybaby anymore, Louis," Emily replied. "Really? But you are crying now." Louis checked her eyes. "You're crying too." Louis shook his head. "I'm not crying. My eyes are just exposed to air conditioning." While Emily let out another laugh, a WO staff came over. "Mr. Harper, time for action." Emily was stunned to see the lemon plushie that the staff gave Louis. "Why is Yemon here?" Louis smiled mischievously. "Isn't he your favorite? He would be sad if he missed your special moment. So, he has to play a part too." "What part?" Louis took the ring box out of his pocket. After shaking them for a while, he put both rings into Yemon's secret pocket. "His magic bag always comes in handy," he winked. Emily sighed in disbelief. When Louis put on his sunglasses and went on errands, she could only shake her head in amazement. Her twin brother was always full of surprises. As soon as Louis e
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 107. Emily's Wedding
"What if we fulfill the promise that was postponed?" Emily whispered, making Cayden raise an eyebrow. "You mean NZ?" As Emily nodded, Cayden smiled. He looked at the phone. "Would you mind visiting the glow worms in the cave again, Summer?" he asked. "Uncle and Auntie, do you want to honeymoon in NZ?" Summer's voice grew lighter. Receiving nods from the bride and groom-to-be, laughter filled the air. "I like that option. Uncle and Aunt can take photos with the glowing worms. Then, I will take you to explore the north and south islands. We can do rafting, bungee jumping, hiking. We can do all the fun things together. I mean, you and Uncle Cayden while Mama and I. We'll do it together but separately!" Emily smiled sweetly at the thought of the excitement. "Oh, I can't wait for the honeymoon." "Just get married first, think about the honeymoon later," Sky said, amused. "But, I hope you won't regret choosing Summer as your guide." "Why should they regret, Mama? I am a
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 106. Summer's Condition
When Louis was interrogated, Emily rushed into the car. She couldn't wait to contact Alice via a video call. Her heart had not been calm since the police said that Sky and Summer had missed their flight. "Mrs. Hills?" Her feelings became even more chaotic when she saw Alice in the hospital. "What happened? Where are Sky and Summer? Why didn't they fly here?" Alice smiled slightly. "I'm sorry that my daughter and granddaughter had to cancel their appointment. Something happened earlier, but don't worry. The critical phase is over." Emily gasped. "Who is critical?" "Summer. Someone gave her almond milk at the airport. Her allergies flared up, and her epipen suddenly disappeared. Luckily, Sky took her to the medical room in time. Now she's being treated in the hospital." Emily covered her mouth with one hand. Her chest was tight. Her tears almost spilled. Cayden, who had just gotten into the car, widened his eyes when he saw her. Holding her shoulder, he whispered, "What's wr
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 105. A Hero
"How dare you hurt my future wife?" Cayden rebuked with burning hatred. Seth met Cayden's gaze with sharper eyes. His jaw throbbed. He was furious that none of his plans went smoothly. "Why is fate never on my side? Why?" Desperate, Seth finally pulled a gun out of his pocket. Seeing that, Cayden and Emily gasped. "Hey? Please don't be careless. Your punishment could be heavier if you kill us with a weapon," Cayden said while raising one hand in front of him. Seth's laughter became increasingly sinister. "Do you think I care? What's the difference between killing you with a stick, poison, or a bullet? They're all the same. They all can send you to hell!" Seth pointed a gun at Emily. His finger was ready to pull the trigger. Witnessing that, Cayden swallowed hard. He was too far to protect Emily. Now, he could only hope that Seth would just aim at him. "Do you think it's that easy to send us to hell? We are good people. Even if we die, we will go to heaven. You are the on
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 104. Emily in Action
Cayden jerked his body. He tried to get up from the chair. Unfortunately, the rope that tied him was too strong. "You coward! Your opponent is me, not Emily. Why do you keep involving her in our affairs, huh? Let her go!" Emily could only sigh in pity at her hiding place. Meanwhile, Seth, who had been silent for a while, was now laughing out loud. "Do you think my threats have been a joke all this time? Destroying you is my purpose in life. I will never stop until you get what you should get. Glen ...." Seth glanced at his partner in crime. "Let the show begin." "Okay, Bro." The man in the janitor uniform turned his laptop. Cayden's breath became louder and rougher. Meanwhile, Seth sat on a sofa. He was ready to witness Cayden's anger. His evil smile kept growing until Glen's eyebrows furrowed, and Cayden's face turned confused. "Hey!" Seth exclaimed, his eyes widened. "Is this a paused show? Come on, vent your anger! You don't mind your future wife having fun with ano
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 103. Tied to a Chair
After getting out of the elevator, Emily immediately approached the security guard. She explained the incident briefly, then asked where the CCTV room was. The security team immediately took actions. Several of them secured the impostor. Others started searching the area. The rest escorted Emily to the CCTV room. "How is it?" Emily asked when her patience ran out. The people there were working too slowly. "Sorry, Miss. All the CCTVs on the 3rd floor were off. We checked the CCTVs on the other floors. There was nothing suspicious." "What about the emergency stairs?" "Sorry, Miss. There's no CCTV in that area." Emily grimaced. "What about the parking lot in the basement? You can't possibly leave that area unmonitored, right?" The security guard checked the monitor again. Before he had time to find a clue, his colleague spoke up. "Miss, I found something odd." Emily shifted to another monitor. Two men are pushing a trolley of rubbish. "Could Cayden be inside one of th
