Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall

Chapter 38

Emma seemed to casually pull out a piece of tissue to wipe the water stains off her fingers.

“He became like that because of me,” Kate said with a cold smile. “A year ago, Liam, Brad, and I were on a helicopter survey trip together when we encountered a typhoon. At the critical moment, Liam was injured by a heavy object while saving me, resulting in a lifelong disability. So his feelings for me are not something you, a mere passerby, can compare to.”

Hearing this, Emma suddenly chuckled. “So what?”

“You’re just an insignificant pitiful creature!” Kate became more and more agitated as she spoke, but Emma remained eerily calm.

“Is that so?” Emma turned and threw the tissue into the trash bin, then stepped closer to Kate. “Liam became disabled because he saved you, and yet you immediately fell into a relationship with his brother. Are you proud of that?”

“You…” Kate was momentarily speechless from the rebuke.

In fact, the truth wasn’t quite as she had portrayed it to Emma. There was actually a hidden truth behind Liam’s injury, but Kate said that because she deliberately wanted to upset Emma. Little did she expect Emma’s reaction to be completely beyond her anticipation.

Ding!

Emma’s phone rang. She glanced at it; the caller ID showed Liam. Her lips curled ironically as she pressed the decline button. “Miss Johnson, let me tell you a secret. Didn’t you say I only know how to seduce men?” She paused, staring at Kate. “Well, Liam does carry me to his bed every night for me to seduce him. Do you envy me? Would you like to become a person like me?”

With that, Emma gave Kate a mocking look, picking up her phone and striding away.

Despite Emma’s seemingly composed response, a sense of loss was spreading in her heart. She knew, of course, that Liam loved her enough that he was even willing to die for her. But had he ever loved someone else that way in his life?

The thought that he might have also been willing to risk everything and throwing himself into the fire without a second thought for Kate, caused a delicate pain to spread through Emma’s heart…

After the Art Festival ended, it was raining outside the auditorium. The rain was heavy, and many students who hadn’t brought umbrellas could only complain and wait for it to stop. Some lucky girls received umbrellas from boys, which made everyone very envious.

Just then, through the rain, a black luxury car drove through the darkness and stopped at the auditorium’s entrance. The students taking shelter from the rain were instantly dazzled.

“Oh my, a globally limited edition Rolls–Royce, It’s so luxurious!”

“Look at its license plate number; it’s so eye–catching!”
