The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 42. He's a Murderer
"Emily ...." Prince looked happy to have found Emily. However, seeing who was standing behind the girl, his face turned sullen. He quickly approached. Unfortunately, the masked man stepped in front of Emily. Pointing his stick at Prince, he shouted, "Don't come any closer!" Then, he glanced slightly over his shoulder. "Don't be afraid, Emily. I will protect you." Prince snorted at that. Tilting his head, looking at the girl peeking behind the enemy, he said softly, "Miss Harper, come here. Get away from him. He's a murderer." Emily's brows furrowed. Again, she was trapped in confusion. Who should she trust? Prince or "Cayden"? "Miss Harper?" Prince's voice touched Emily's heart. After a breath, she finally spoke. "You two, can you just make peace? You're brothers. You shouldn't be enemies." Prince stared wide-eyed at Emily. "You said the two of us are brothers?" "I already know that you're Princeton and he's Cayden." Emily failed to hide her doubts. Her voice w

"Emily, let's get out of here!" the masked guy said as he pulled her away. However, Emily was reluctant to go. She didn't even move an inch. "You want to leave Prince alone here? He could die!" "Don't worry about him. Gunshot wounds are nothing for him. He's just pretending to be in pain to get your sympathy." Emily sighed in disbelief. She pulled her arm from his grasp, whispering, "No. I can't leave him alone." Emily bent down again, helping Prince to his feet. But, again, she was restrained. "Emily, don't argue! Come with me and leave him." "He's your brother, Cayden! Even though it's true that he hurt you, you don't have the right to kill him," Emily said hoarsely. Her nose flared to match her ragged breath. While "Cayden" sighed in disbelief, Emily turned her attention back to the man who was still pressing on the wound. "Come on, Prince. Don't let your blood run out." "You prefer him over me?" The masked guy sounded disappointed. "It's not about preference. H
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 44. Have to Separate
"Cayden fought as hard as he could to save you. He even risked his own life, but you surrendered yourself in front of that murderer? You should have run for your life! But what are you doing here?" The woman scolded Emily. Emily could only looked down while clenching her fists. She didn't need to ask who dared to slap and scold her. She knew. That must be Grace Evans. "I can't leave Cayden here alone," Emily muttered softly. "What can you do by staying here? His wound can heal itself? You almost made his sacrifice in vain! You're lucky we arrived in time. Otherwise? You want Cayden to wake up in immense anger and regret?" Suddenly, Emily straightened her head. Her eyes twinkled a little, reflecting hope. "Cayden will wake up, right? He will recover and be healthy again, won't he?" Grace sighed in disbelief. She had scolded Emily at length. However, that was the only part she perceived? "I can't promise that. I'm not God. I can only try my best for his recovery." At that
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 45. Brief Entertainment
Upon arrival in L City, Emily was not greeted by her own family, but by a video call from Summer. The toddler whined and begged her mother to contact Emily. Like it or not, Sky fulfilled her request via Orion's phone. "Hello, Aunt Emily. How are you? Are you okay? I heard you were in trouble. You had to go home early and broke your promise to me. Actually, I was very excited to take you to the cave. I even prepared more provisions. My bag became so much heavier that the straps were about to come loose. But I had to unpack it again because that plan was cancelled." Emily smiled wryly at the babble. "Sorry, Summer. I was forced to leave NZ without saying goodbye to you. Are you angry with me?" "Yeah, a little. I'm annoyed because you have to leave when there are still so many things we have to do together. I've even put them together on a list." "Is that so? What did you write there?" Summer's lips pursed even more. "Mama and I have a lot of agendas until the end of the year.
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 46. Home
As the car entered the gate of her house, Emily swallowed hard. Several people had gathered in front of the main door. She could guess who were there. "Orion, why are they here? Are they ready to scold me?" Emily whispered, nervously. Orion smirked. "Maybe they want to welcome you. Just think positively," he said casually. When the car stopped, he rushed out, leaving Emily behind. "Orion, wait! Let's walk together. Orion!" Ignored, Emily could only grimace. She was about to cry. "I haven't prepared a reason to defend myself," she thought with a resigned sigh. Like it or not, she got out of the door opened by the driver. "Emily ...." Kara Harper welcomed her into a hug. Her eyes were closed. Her breath was deep. She was relieved that hr daughter made it home safely. "Mom," Emily whispered as she clenched her fists. Guilt had stuck in her throat. "I'm sorry." While stroking Emily's hair, Kara kissed her temple. "You already know your mistake, hmm? Next time please don't
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 47. The Reporters
"Why did Louis forbid me from knowing? What happened to Cayden? He's fine, right? The surgery should go smoothly. Grace said she was trying her best for Cayden." Emily blinked back tears. She didn't want to cry. She just wanted to laugh at the good news. "The surgery went smoothly. Cayden's condition is also stable. However, until Grace told me about an hour ago, he still hadn't woken up." Emily's eyes widened in disbelief. A quick sigh escaped her mouth. "Why isn't he awake yet? Isn't everything going smoothly? What kind of medical team is treating him? They're professional, right?" Orion grabbed Emily's arms. His eyes were full of sympathy. "Emily, calm down. Cayden is a strong person. He was able to survive even though his body absorbed a lot of poison and lost a lot of blood. The doctors were even amazed by him. If Cayden was an ordinary person, he would have been paralyzed or maybe worse." "But why isn't he awake yet?" Emily's voice grew hoarser. "There are two possib
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 48. The Unexpected Guest
Receiving such a question, Emily froze. Her brain was spinning quickly to sort out a worthy answer. All reporters agreed to keep silence. Some people even held their breath. "Is there anyone I love?" Emily repeated the question with her head tilted slightly. While returning a smile, Emily raised her head again. "Sorry. I think I can't answer it yet." The reporters murmured in disappointment. Only some of them still had hope. "Did you refuse to answer because you were worried about offending Mr. Young?" Everyone suddenly glanced at the young journalist holding a pencil. Some of them sneered. However, Emily still answered the meaningless question with a friendly face. "Isn't it our duty to protect other people's feelings? I refuse to answer so that you stop speculating. Are you aware? You have the power to make public opinion. The consequences could be uncontrollable. It could have an impact on the company's performance. Because of that," Emily looked at the camera one by on
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 49. Can't Be Patient
"Thank you, Brandon. You're very kind. Very, very kind," Emily's voice was thin and hoarse. "Yes, I know. When Cayden recovers, let's hang out together. Let's celebrate your victory." "I hope you'll come with a girl by then," Emily said, a little hesitantly. She was afraid of offending. As expected, Brandon shook his head. "Not so fast. It would need an extraordinary girl to replace you in my heart." Emily smiled wryly. "By the way, I have one request for you." "What?" "Please don't punch Cayden when you meet him." Brandon finally let out his laughter. While hiding tears, he looked at Emily longingly. "I couldn't possibly do that. I don't want you to hate me." Not wanting his sadness to rise, Brandon quickly took a deep breath. "Oh, I can't wait for that moment. He won't beat me up, right? Who knows, he might be annoyed because I've been chasing you all this time." Emily shook her head in amusement. "I'll scold him if he dares to mess with you. You're my best frien

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
