Desmond blocked her. “Mr. Fleming and Divine Doctor will be here in no time. You should stay and perhaps get ready a pot of tea. Be thoughtful and make sure to serve all of their needs this time. If the Divine Doctor is upset, there goes our only hope to heal Amelia's leg.”

Left without an option, Emma agreed.

Desmond led Madeline out of the villa and to his car.

He opened the trunk and ordered, “His gifts are placed in the trunk. Please go and get them.”

Madeline adhered to the instruction and dived into the trunk to get the items.

It was at that moment when Desmond whipped out a wrench out of the blue and smashed it into the back of her head.

Madeline yelped in pain and fainted.

Immediately, Desmond chucked her inside the trunk.

That was the scene that had greeted Thomas, who coincidentally arrived home at the same time.

Feeling chills running down his spine, Thomas blanched in horror.

Desmond is so vicious. Not only did he betray his own niece, but he also harmed Madeline. It's best I stay away from him in the future.


Without saying hello, Thomas strode toward his villa after parking the car.

Emma was so nervous when he saw Thomas walking into the house.

In a quavering voice, she addressed him, “You're back, Mr. Fleming.”

Hmm...

Narrowing his eyes, Thomas gave Emma a once-over and gulped.

Emma was curious. “Mr. Fleming, why isn't Divine Doctor with you? Didn't he tag along?”

“Oh, something came up, so he's delayed by half an hour or so. Let's be patient and wait for a while,” Thomas blurted an excuse.

Emma was rather dubious about the whole situation.

Subsequently, Thomas locked the door after closing it.

Click. Emma's heartbeat raced rapidly. She could sense that something was off.

Thomas then broke the silence. “This is my treasured valerian leaves. Emma, did you brew this pot of tea?”

She nodded. “Yes, Mr. Fleming.”

“Brilliant! Please pour me a cup. I'm super thirsty,” he requested.

Okay.

Without thinking twice, Emma went forward to serve him a cup.

For a moment, the entire room fell into an awkward silence; only the sounds of Thomas sipping the tea could be heard.

On and off, he would move his gaze between Emma's breasts and thighs. Seeing so, she became even warier of him.

She looked out of the window and saw Desmond's car. However, there was no sight of Desmond and her mother.

Having ants in her pants, she decided to find out for herself but was unfortunately stopped by Thomas.
