Lord Protector Novel

Emma's cheeks immediately turned bright red when she heard the question, for the first person that came to her mind was Zeke.

Since she would rather not talk about it, Emma tried to brush it off. “I've been so busy with Amelia that I hardly have any time to see anyone.”

“Come on, Emma. You don't think I noticed your bright red cheeks? They're telling me that something is definitely up. You met one, didn't you?”

Seeing how it was pointless to hide the truth any longer, Emma nodded shyly, so Sasha decided to get to the bottom of it.

“I want all the details. How old is he? Where's he from? What's his occupation? How many siblings does he have? Have you met his parents yet?” Sasha relentlessly bombarded her friend with a chain of questions, but Emma did not have the answer to any of them.

“I don't know.”

“You don't know? But this is basic information! Where's the trust? He must be a pathological liar. I'm sure of it! He's only trying to get into your pants. Once he's got what he wanted, he'll cut ties with you. That has to be the reason why you don't know anything about him. He doesn't want you to because it's going to make disappearing harder for him.”

“No, he's not a pathological liar, Sha. He's helped me a lot recently.”

Sasha rolled her eyes at her friend. “That's it? You're moved because you owe him a favor? Let me ask you this. Has he ever given you money?”

“No. But he did borrow fifty thousand from me today.”

Immediately, Sasha jumped to her feet in shock. “Why in the world would you do that, Emma? Not only did he not give you any money, but he also borrowed some from you? That's what a swindler would do! You can't be this naive, can you, Emma? Damn it! That man had better hope that he never meets me, or I'm going to teach him a lesson!”

“It's not like that, Sha. Mr. Williams is not a swindler.”

“I can't believe you're defending the man who tricked you. Here's what we're going to do. You're going to take me to him tomorrow, and I'll show you who he really is. How dare he take advantage of my best friend!”

Emma knew better than to try to change Sasha's mind after seeing how worked up her friend was, so she decided to save her breath.

Unbeknownst to Sasha, the man she had planned to deal with was actually her so-called Prince Charming.

The following morning, Madeline realized that her head was still hurting after waking up. It took her a while to recall what had happened the previous night.
