Emma’s eyes filled with hatred, and her body couldn’t help but tremble. She despised Elysia. She hated Elysia’s arrogance, hated the way Elysia always seemed untouchable.

Noticing Emma’s odd behavior, Bella snapped back to reality. She threw herself beside Emma and held Emma tightly. She said, “I’m sorry, Emma, it’s all my fault, I failed to protect you”

He immediately answered. Before he could even ask anything, a cool female voice came through the line.
