Emma rushed to place the water glass on a nearby table. Her voice was laced with concerned as she said, "Ms. Lynch, please try to recall where you might have placed it.""It was right here," Ms. Lynch huffed, her frustration evident. She pressed a button on the intercom and spoke, "Someone come in here. I've lost my necklace!"The salon manager entered the room with quick footsteps, accompanied by the staff member who had earlier attended to Ms. Lynch."Ms. Lynch, what valuable item seems to be missing?" the manager inquired anxiously."My necklace is gone!" Ms. Lynch gritted her teeth, her face etched with displeasure. "The one I had on when I arrived."The manager immediately attempted to soothe Ms. Lynch's ruffled feathers. "Ms. Lynch, please don't fret. Nothing ever goes missing at our establishment. It's likely it just slipped out of sight somewhere. I'll have someone look for it right away."Turning to the staff member who had assisted Ms. Lynch, the manager questioned, "Di

"Very well," Emma replied in a calm, firm voice. "But let me be clear, this matter is far from over for me.“I won’t let anyone accuse me of something I didn’t do.” She refused to be intimidated.After making her statement, Emma remained silent, waiting for the police to arrive and investigate the matter thoroughly.The manager looked at Ms. Lynch and could only try to calm her down in a low and soothing voice.Ms. Lynch sneered. "What am I supposed to be angry about?"My necklace is worth millions," she continued, her voice heavy with accusation, staring at Emma. "If it's proven that you stole it, you'll be spending years behind bars. But if you return it now, admit your guilt, and apologize, I might just consider forgiving you. I might even refrain from pressing charges."Otherwise… You can expect to rot in jail."The manager, alarmed by Ms. Lynch's threat, quickly tried to reason with Emma. "Miss, Ms. Lynch has been so generous. Please just admit your mistake and spare yourse

Ms. Lynch was taken aback by Emma's accusation.As Emma stared at Ms. Lynch, she had a feeling that Ms. Lynch was behind this setup.While she could not pinpoint the exact motive, the entire situation struck her as highly suspicious.It was impossible not to harbor doubts."What if you were wearing gloves while stealing it?" Ms. Lynch quickly retorted."Then let the police search the room for any gloves I might have worn!" Emma stood her ground."Fine, let them investigate thoroughly!" Ms. Lynch scoffed.Emma's eyes narrowed. Her voice was laced with sarcasm as she said, "So, you think even if the investigation proves I'm innocent, the worst that will happen to you for framing me is that you made a mistake and that’ll be it, right?"Ms. Lynch's silence and dismissive eye roll spoke volumes, confirming Emma's suspicions.Emma nodded, her determination unwavering. She pulled out her phone, tapped a few times, and held it up for everyone to see."What if I have video footage to

"It's not about Ash," Emma explained. "I’ve just run into a slight problem on my end."Landon felt a twinge of unease mixed with a surge of protectiveness. "What's wrong?"It had to be serious for Emma to call him for help. He knew how much she hated to burden him."Today, I..." Emma recounted the entire incident, including her suspicions. "I have no grudge against her. So I'm wondering if it's because of you."If they prove I'm a thief, will it affect your reputation?" Emma could only think of this much, nothing deeper.Landon's voice was firm as he replied, "I understand. Stay there and I'll handle this.""Okay." Emma trusted Landon implicitly. She hung up the phone and told the police officer, "My husband will be here soon with someone to take care of this."The officer nodded in understanding.It was normal for a woman like Emma to feel lost and helpless in such a situation.Of course, none of them mentioned this to Ms. Lynch. They simply waited.Less than half an hour la

Ms. Lynch had never seen anything like this.She had been lured by the promise of favors from Landon's aunt. However, now that Landon was personally involved, his aunt was no match for him."Mr. Stirling," she pleaded desperately, "It really wasn’t my fault. It was all your aunt's idea."Landon asked calmly, "What idea?"Ms. Lynch quickly explained, spilling out Landon's aunt's plan in detail.Landon listened and nodded. Then, he took Emma's hand and walked out without another word.Ms. Lynch was stunned and called out after them, "Mr. Stirling, Mr. Stirling..."What was going to happen? Would Landon give her a straight answer?Unfortunately, Landon did not stop at all. He left the matter in the hands of his assistant and lawyer, who had accompanied him.He left with Emma.Once they were out and in the car, Landon asked Emma, "Want to get some payback?"Emma looked at him, puzzled. She was not sure what he meant."Someone's framed you like this, and I'm here for you. Don't

“I'll call my parents right away,” Leto said before quickly dialing his mom’s number."Mom, Grandpa knows Landon set up a trap to frame you. He wants you and Dad to come over. Grandpa will take care of everything." Leto conveyed the crucial information.On the other end of the line, Leto's mom instantly understood. She agreed, and with her husband, headed to the company.Landon arrived at Stirling Group with Emma in tow, taking the private elevator straight to his office. In a low voice, Landon told Emma, "They won't just sit back and do nothing. They will definitely try to slander us in front of Grandpa.""Grandpa will bring them to the company to protect them," he continued, explaining why he brought Emma directly to the office.Emma frowned. "Is your grandpa trying to save face?"Landon looked at her, feigning ignorance. "What do you mean?""He doesn't want to admit his own shortcomings. To save his pride, he’s choosing to believe your uncle's family. This way, he can claim

Leto’s mom, Renee Swan, was naturally not going to admit anything. She feigned surprise and asked, "What are you talking about? I don’t understand!"As long as she did not admit it, the whole situation would look like Landon was framing her. Then, it would not be her problem.Leopold frowned and scolded, "Emma, what are you causing a scene here for?""Mr. Stirling, that’s the wrong question to ask," Emma retorted, fully fired up. Normally, she avoided trouble, not because she could not see it coming, but because she wanted to keep peace and avoid causing issues for herself and her son. Now, with Landon backing her up, she had nothing to fear."If you don’t know what’s going on, why is she in the company?" Emma pointed at Leto’s mom. "I don’t remember her having any position here.""This is the Stirlings’ company. I decide who can and can not be here!" Leopold felt his authority being challenged and angrily slammed the table."Mr. Stirling, are you sure this company is still y

"You should not be protecting them after what they did to frame my wife."Grandpa, your actions make me question whether the company is safe in your hands. If things continue this way, I might not even have a chance to save it,” Landon warned.Leopold, a man accustomed to wielding power, could not bear the thought of his authority being challenged. "You think you can just waltz back into the company whenever you please?" He scoffed. "Don't forget, it was only with my approval that you took over in the first place."Landon's lips curled into a faint smile, a gesture that sent a shiver down his grandfather's spine. "Grandpa, I only got married out of respect for our family ties. I admit that I did it partly to spite you," he confessed openly. "Back then, I still believed there was some affection between us, grandfather and grandson."Landon's gaze swept across his uncle's family. "But now..." he paused, his voice dripping with disdain, "I think I'll pass on those nonexistent fami

With the situation reaching such a point, Leopold was unable to bear the humiliation of his defeat and decided to leave the company. He got up, heading straight for home.Emma, sensing the tense atmosphere and wanting to give Landon some space, quietly excused herself. "I'll get going now."She knew he had a lot to handle, taking over the company. Her presence might only hinder his progress."No need," Landon shook his head and gently declined. "You've been through quite an ordeal. Let's grab something to eat and take your mind off things."Emma looked at him, surprised by his suggestion. "Oh, no, really, it's fine. You should focus on work,” she said as she waved her hand in dismissal.After all, she had not suffered any harm in the spa incident. In fact, she'd even gotten a good laugh at Landon's aunt's expense.Suddenly, Landon leaned in closer, their faces inches apart. Emma's breath caught in her throat, her eyes wide with anticipation. What was he about to do?"Food and

Landon understood and smiled. "This place won’t disappoint.""That's good," Emma nodded. "Isn’t this place a little pricey, though?"Landon laughed. "It’s alright."Soon, their food arrived. Emma happily dug in.Landon watched Emma enjoying her meal and asked, "Feeling better now? If not, I can think of more ways to help you vent."Emma paused, swallowing her food before smiling. "I’m good now."Landon nodded. "That’s good. Eat up."So Emma continued. She loved the afternoon tea sandwiches; it was delicious.Eating it made her so happy.Emma's eyes crinkled with joy as she ate, and just watching her brought Landon an almost tangible sense of happiness.Being by her side made him truly happy. She always made him feel that way so easily.A waiter brought over a pot of tea, and Landon gestured for it to be placed in front of Emma."Huh? I didn’t order this," Emma quickly said.She did not want to waste space on something she did not order."I ordered it," Landon said, signal
