Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall

Chapter 6

Chapter 6
The next morning, as Emma came downstairs, she caught snippets
siping over breakfast.
“Wow, Aria’s getting all the attention. It’s not even Valentine’s Day, and she’s already drowning in flowers and gifts. Unlike someone who’s ugly, uncultured, and totally psycho.” Zoe finished up, snagging Aria’s diamond bracelet and shooting Emma a nasty glare. “Sleeping in so late, you got no manners. Look at this. This bracelet is from Sebastian, the Gomez family’s second son, all for Aria.”
Emma sneered. “Sebastian’s a total player, probably knocked up half the town. That bracelet is just a cheap trinket worth only several thousand dollars. Only someone as shameless as Aria would show it off.”
Hearing this, Mateo flung his fork at her. “You little brat, what’s with the morning drama? Can’t you let us eat in peace?”
Emma dodged, retorting, “Wrong for calling her shameless? Look who’s ruining my breakfast.” She gestured to her usual seat, now occupied by a dog bowl. Aria’s border collie was munching there, while Emma’s breakfast sat outside on the doghouse.
Struggling to hold back her laughter, Aria pretended to be apologetic. “Oh, Emma, I’m so sorry. After you flipped the table last night, I thought you didn’t want to join us for breakfast. Rocky really wanted your spot this morning, so I moved your breakfast to the doghouse. It’s sunny out there, you know. But if it bothers you, I can fix it right away.”
Feeling bold in her disrespect, thinking Zoe and Mateo had written off Emma, Aria reached for the dog bowl. But Emma kicked it over before she could, sending dog food flying. Panicked, Aria asked, “Emma, what are you doing now?”
Emma grabbed the sunny-side-up egg and chicken breast from Aria’s plate and dumped them into the dog bowl. Then she shoved a handful of dog food into Aria’s mouth. “Dogs are smarter than you, so why bother with dog food? But you can’t even tell people food from dog food. Let me help your pea brain by feeding you some dog food.”
“What are you… Mmph, Emma, you’re insane. Help!” Aria, no match for Emma’s strength, burst into tears, desperately trying to spit it out as her mouth was forced open, more dog food shoved in. She ended up swallowing several pieces.

Zoe looked like she was about to have a heart attack. Nora was horrified too, screeching as she hid behind Mateo. He jumped up, bellowing for someone to stop Emma. But Emma had already quit before the servants could step in.
Seemingly satisfied with her handiwork, Emma menacingly gripped Aria’s jaw, “So, how was Rocky’s food? Tasty?”
Once let go, Aria ran in tears to hide behind Mateo. “Dad, look/what Emma did to me.”
“Emma, you’re completely nuts.” Mateo trembled with anger. “Your sister is the hottest thing in Troln City right now. All these rich dudes are chasing after her. And you, you have the nerve to do this to her? Just you wait, I’m gonna teach you a lesson.”
Emma demanding 2 million dollars to agree to marry shifted Mateo’s investment strategy to Aria.
But there was a key difference. Emma was being forced into marriage, shoved into Liam’s arms whether she wanted to or not. It was like selling off a daughter.
Meanwhile, Aria could take the 2 million dollars, doll herself up, and pick any man she wanted. That was more like marrying off a daughter. Whether selling or marrying off, the Wilson family saw their daughters as commodities, not individuals.
With gifts pouring in for Aria well before Valentine’s Day, the Wilson family’s expectations soared. The higher their hopes, the better Aria was treated, while Emma’s situation just got worse.
As Mateo lifted a heavy stick to strike Emma, a car horn blared outside. A flustered servant rushed in. “Emergency! Vehicles from the Hall family are here.”
When Mateo heard “the Hall family,” He nearly dropped the stick.

Zoe gasped, panicked. “Oh shit, we’re screwed. They’re probably here to settle the score for the broken engagement. What do we do? If we pi** off the Hall family, we’re done in Troln City.”
The Wilson family was now utterly terrified. Aria shot a vicious glare at Emma. “This is all your fault. If you hadn’t stirred up so much trouble, Liam wouldn’t be showing up!”
Zoe gritted her teeth. “Let’s just hand over this wretched girl. The Hall family can deal with her however they want. She made this mess, so she’ll have to clean it up on her own. We can’t afford to get tangled up in this.”
