Not far away, Hugh sat inside a parked car. He asked with concern, "Ron, are you really not going to help?"Ron remained silent.Hugh pressed on. "Even if you refuse to admit it, Emma is your fiancée. What if..."Before slowly responding, Ron lit a cigarette and took a couple of deep drags. "If she can't handle this, how's she supposed to hold her own in the Hagrid family?"Hugh's eyes widened in disbelief and said, "Those three thugs are known bullies from Valtara. Nobody gets away from them unscathed. What if something really happens to Emma? Could you live with yourself?"Ron kept silent, continuing to smoke his cigarette.Hugh continued, nagging in Ron's ear. "Do you actually wish something would happen to her? That way, you could break off the engagement with a clear conscience and send her back to the Blue family?"Ron, I know you're not happy with the marriage arranged by your family, but Emma is just as innocent as you. You can be angry at anyone, but you shouldn't take

Emma stared at the thugs with a cold, steady gaze, her words resonating with undeniable force. "Whether or not that's the case, you can verify it yourselves. Call Deborra directly if you must. Considering she didn't inform you of this critical detail beforehand suggests she was setting you up for a fall."The leader of the thugs saw Emma's confident demeanor, which did not hint at deception, and slowly pulled out his phone to dial a number. "The person you're asking us to target is Ron Hagrid's fiancée?"Emma could not hear the response, but she observed the thug's expression turning increasingly sour until he finally spat out a curse and ended the call.His gaze shifted back to Emma. "Lucky girl," he grumbled.After saying this, he turned and walked away, his followers trailing behind him.In Valtara, the Hagrid and Blue families were untouchable titans. The thugs knew this better than anyone.Emma watched them until they vanished. Then, her legs gave way, and she collapsed onto

Before speaking again, Emma took another big gulp of water to rinse her mouth. "Thank you for your kindness. It's just stress-induced vomiting. I'll be fine now, no need for the hospital—""Are you sure I shouldn't take you?" Before Emma could finish, Ron interrupted.Emma said, "It's not that I don't want you to take me; it's that there's no need to go to the hospital. Could you please take me back to the campus?"Uncertain whether the three thugs had truly left, Emma knew it would be foolish to decline Ron's offer to take her, given the perilous moment.Ron thought, 'She was scared to the point of vomiting, yet her tone suggests she's perfectly fine—timid, perhaps, but she didn't break down crying. That makes her stronger than I thought.' He offered his rare kindness. "Get up, let's go."Emma tried to rise, but her body was too weak to stand. She looked up at Ron, blinking her watery eyes, and said in a pitiful tone, "My legs are too weak to stand. Can you help me up?"Ron let

Evelyn said, "We've ordered quite a bit, yours included, so eat some even if you're not hungry. See how famished you look. How about this? You go see to your business first, and we'll meet again in the dormitory later."After rattling that off, Evelyn hung up the call without giving Emma a chance to respond.Emma put her phone away, looked at Ron, and said seriously, "Ron, you arrived the moment those three gangsters surrounded me, so you should already know who was trying to mess with me.""So what if I do?" Ron said nonchalantly.Emma was furious, barely able to contain her anger, outraged that his woman had sent someone to mess with her, and yet he had the gall to say something like this."Both of us are constrained by our circumstances. Neither of us wants this marriage. I've told you before, I will not stop you from finding the one you love."Ron raised his eyebrow but did not say anything.Emma continued, "When your girlfriend looked for me, I said the same to her, that yo

Upon returning to the dormitory, Emma immediately took a bath and washed her clothes.After taking her bath, she lay on the bed, and her mind was filled with what had happened that night.'Deborra is truly a terrifying person. Since her people failed today, she will definitely come up with another ploy to mess with me,' Emma thought.She knew she needed to settle this matter once and for all, or else she would never find peace in both her work and studies.While Emma was entertaining her thoughts, Evelyn and Cassie came back.Behind them was Madeleine, who rarely lived in the dormitory.Emma immediately got up. "Madeleine, do you have Deborra's contact details?""I do. What's the matter?" Madeleine nodded."Can you give me her contact details?" Emma asked.Madeleine hesitated for a bit. Since Deborra considered her a friend, it would not be proper to just hand out her contact details without asking. "Emma, may I ask Deborra first?""Yeah, just tell her I'm looking for her," E

Jake did not press the question. "Alright, I will arrange for a driver near your university to pick you up. Please wait for a moment."'Oh, so their drivers don't just stick around the residence; they were all over the place.' Emma found out something new about the Hagrid family.She then nodded. "Alright."In just five short minutes, Emma got into a car sent by the Hagrid family.There were few vehicles on the road at this hour of the night. With a smooth journey, she arrived after half an hour.Jake had told Philip that Emma was visiting, so Philip did not retire to his chambers but instead sat in the living room waiting for her.When he heard that Emma had arrived, Philip wanted to get up and receive her.Jake immediately held onto Philip, saying, "Sir, she's of the younger generation; there is no need for you to receive her."Philip gave Jake an icy look. "Don't think I don't know you're like the rest of the people at home, waiting for a chance to step on that lass."Upon

Seeing that Ron was there too, Emma was so surprised that she stuttered. "W-Why are you here too?"Ron glanced at her before walking inside. "What? Do I need to report to you my whereabouts now?"Emma was speechless.She had never thought about that.Nor would she even dare to harbor such a thought.Jake then said, "It was Sir who invited Emma over."Ron straight up ignored Jake and instead said to Emma, "Close the door behind you.""Good night." After wishing Jake good night, Emma closed the door."Did Grandpa ask you to come over?" Ron turned around and asked her.As she did not want to lie, Emma was forthright and said, "I'm afraid that Deborra might strike against me again, so I got Grandpa to help."Ron suddenly broke into a smile as he gave Emma a somewhat approving look. "You may be weak, but you're not stupid, and you actually know how to call for help.""That's because I want to live well," Emma replied.Her goal all this while had been very simple.To live.To l

No one would ever want their hidden traumas to be used as conversation fodder.Yet, Emma still kept silent."You're not willing to talk to me?" Ron asked."What does it matter even if I were to talk to you?" Emma retorted.Ron then smiled. "You may be timid, but you still have a lot of good points, like being self-aware."Emma no longer wanted to give him any attention so she closed her eyes and tried to sleep.Ron did not disturb her, and they both spent a peaceful night.The next morning, both of them woke up early and even accompanied Philip for breakfast before setting off to school together.None of them spoke throughout the half-hour journey until they arrived at school.Ron dropped Emma off at the same intersection as yesterday morning, and Emma walked the rest of the way to the university.Since there were no classes today, Emma went straight back to the dormitory.Just as she stepped into her dormitory room, she heard Evelyn say, "Emma, look at the school intranet w

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.The school's intranet posted an advertisement for submission for a main theme of a video game, and if the theme was accepted for use, the remunerations would be very generous.The moment she heard of the generous remuneration, Emma was tempted. Moreover, music was her specialty, so she decided to give it a shot.In order to write the most suitable song for the game, Emma, who had never played a game before, downloaded the game to play.After her work and studies, she played the game for a couple of days straight.After getting an understanding of the game, Emma tried to compose the lyrics.Perhaps because she was so emotionally rich and resonated well with the characters in the game that she managed to write a set of lyrics in just half a day.After she had written the lyrics, she found the music composition even easier, and it took her just three days to complete it.Once it was done, Emma immediately sent the song off to the game comp

Emma expressed her gratitude. Shortly after, she found herself being ushered into the music director's office."Ms. Murray, Ms. Libre is here."Looking up, Joyce saw Emma's young face. "I didn't expect you to be so young and yet able to produce such fine lyrics and melodies."In the music industry, hard work was not always enough; some people were just born for it. Emma was one of those naturally gifted individuals, though her family circumstances had limited her opportunities.As a newcomer in the professional world, Emma could not always tell if compliments were genuine or not, but she chose to believe them.She smiled and said, "Most of the people who play our game are around my age, and the protagonist is also about as old as I am. Maybe that's why I can empathize with her and write the lyrics and music the way I do."Joyce said, "You're being modest."There was a common belief that the younger generation was arrogant and overly confident, and Joyce had encountered her fair
