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
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 50. Persuading Kara
"Are you checking our progress, Dad?" Emily made small talk. Frank shook his head slightly. "No, I have checked it yesterday. It's good. Your new project is almost ready to be launched, right?" Emily nodded like a child. Frank laughed heartily. "Great. After launching your new product, don't forget to pay attention to other sectors. Remember, you're not just in charge of the fashion sector. Even though you already have your own directors, you still have to supervise them. Make new breakthroughs that are no less cool." "Aye-aye, Captain." Emily pressed four fingers to the tips of her eyebrows, just like what she and Louis often did when they were toddlers. Soon afterwards, Frank's laughter returned to the air. "But Daddy, did you know? I have one big obstacle in launching the product." Frank's eyebrows rose high. "What is it?" "I actually hoped that Cayden could be the model for my product. But until now, Grace said he still hasn't woken up." Frank could read the sign.
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 51. Mom's Permission
"Later, the three of you were getting older. We can no longer use that wardrobe. So, I went to Mr. Evans to ask for a new design. That's when I met his children. One of them was Cayden," Frank explained with an interactive gesture. Emily spontaneously tilted her head forward. "How was he then?" "He's a smart and authoritative child. He's also polite and well-spoken. A bit like Louis. Only, he's much more mature and calm." Emily involuntarily let out a laugh. Her eyes sparkled. "Then, what did you two talk about?" "When he knew where I came from and what my last name was, he immediately asked if I had a daughter. He was so happy when he found out your name was Emily. He told me about the promise you had made earlier and what he was preparing." Smiling faintly, Frank glanced at Kara. "The boy was serious about Emily. His father said that since Cayden met Emily, he had become more diligent, NZ more enthusiastic about studying business and honing his talents. Seeing him at that
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 52. Visit Cayden
"Just ask Mom if you don't believe me. Mom and Dad allow me to go as long as I bring you, Orion, and ten bodyguards," Emily said proudly. "Wait a minute. Why does it have to be ten?" Louis held up one hand. "DadDad wants all the guards to come." "But we will be 13 later. That's not a good number." Emily rolled her eyes. "Since when do you believe in myths?" "That's not just a myth, Emily. Even buildings, planes, all businesses never use that number. Just bring 9 bodyguards." "But Daddy asked for ten and I agreed. How about we call it one woman and twelve men?" "The total is still 13." "I'm with 12 bodyguards?" "Is there any difference? Change the arrangement or I won't go." Emily sighed in resignation. "Okay. I'll talk to Daddy again. Next Friday night, we'll leave." "So we're going for the weekend?" "Isn't that what you want?" Emily answered innocently. Louis snorted in amusement. "I thought you would drag us to leave tomorrow morning." "I'm not that selfi
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 53. Wake Up!
"Cayden," Emily called softly. Her head moved slightly, her face frowned. Louis quickly approached. He held his sister's hand, whispered, "Emily?" Instead of waking up, Emily's tears fell. She sobbed again. Her eyebrows knitted together. "Don't go .... Cayden ...." Louis stroked her cold cheek. "Emily, wake up. You're dreaming." "Cayden!" Emily's eyes finally opened. The red streaks around her gray beads were now clearly visible. Seeing Louis by her side, she hurriedly got up. "How is Cayden's condition? He's safe? His heart is beating again, right?" Emily asked hoarsely. The light in her eyes was dim, lacking hope. Louis took a deep breath. He looked around. There were only Orion and several bodyguards in the room. It was only then that he sighed, "Emily, calm down. Don't panic. Listen to me carefully. Cayden—" Emily gasped. Her head shook quickly. "No, it's impossible. Cayden couldn't leave me so soon. Cayden!" Emily got out of bed and ran outside. Her head spun
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 54. Another Secret
"Okay, back to the topic. How far has your conversation been going? Judging from your closeness earlier, it looks like Emily doesn't know yet," Louis said as he leaned on the edge of the bed. "What don't I know?" Emily replied with an innocent look. Louis' eyes widened. "So you really don't know? He hasn't told you yet but he dares to kiss you?" Emily became even more confused. "What are you talking about, Louis?" Before Cayden had time to open his mouth, Louis answered, "It wasn't Cayden who had a cardiac arrest, but Princeton. Cayden has been fine since arriving in this city." Emily was stunned. Her mouth opened without a word for a few moments. "You mean, Princeton is still alive? He's not dead?" Cayden couldn't help but nod. "Yes, he's the one who's in a coma all this time. We were afraid that Seth would target him. He certainly couldn't fight back. Because of that, we had to fake my death, while I played his role." Emily sighed in disbelief. Her eyes trembled as h
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 55. Sweet Moment
"Say aaa ...." Emily brought the spoon closer to Cayden's mouth. Seeing her behavior, Cayden sighed in amusement. "I can eat alone, Emily. Really. You should go eat with Louis. You must be hungry too." Emily sneered. "Did you forget? I'm responsible for you. Therefore, you don't need to be embarrassed about me feeding you. Besides, I can eat later." Cayden looked at Emily gently. His thumb stroked her hand lovingly. "I don't want to bother you." "This isn't a hassle at all. You know? I'm used to doing this. When my two grandmothers were still alive, I was the one who fed them most of the time." "Is it true?" Emily nodded with a cute look. After she put the spoon back into the bowl, her gaze wandered. Her heart was suddenly hit by longing. "I still can't believe Grandma Melanie left so quickly. Maybe her mental condition and medicines shortened her life. Every time she was sick, I always took the time to feed her. I often asked Louis to join, but he never wanted to. He
The Heiress' Mysterious Bodyguard 56. Brother's Jealousy
"Louis, can't you be nice to Cayden? Why have you always been so sentimental towards him?" Emily asked as they got into the car. Louis glanced at her with an annoying look. Orion was ready to hear the twins' debate. But apparently, Louis' answer was unexpected. "He intended to take you from me. Of course I don't like him." Emily froze. A strange feeling tickled her chest. "Why would you think that?" she asked quietly. Louis shrugged. "That thought has been around since he met you. I felt like if you were close to him, you wouldn't want to play with me anymore. You would love him more and be closer to him. You could forget me." Emily was stunned. She didn't know what expression was appropriate to show. She felt annoyed with Louis, and also pitying him. "Louis, we were very small at that time. Now we are adults. Are you still jealous of him?" Louis' lips pursed. "At first I also thought that it was just a child's feelings. But apparently, seeing how you keep looking forw

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
