Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall

Chapter 62

Emma’s expression was so calm that she didn’t look like someone her age.

Vere noticed that she said “change your mind.”

He thought, ‘So, she has long seen through me and realized that I really did want to frame her previously.”

Vere’s handsome face flushed slightly as he said, “Kate called me that night, I refused initially. I didn’t sleep the whole night, but when dawn came, I still couldn’t help but do those things that harmed you… It wasn’t until I saw you being taken away by the police that I regretted it! You helped me, yet I repay your kindness by harming you, I thought if I didn’t do something to make things right, I’d look down on myself for

the rest of my life.”

Emma pursed her lips and said, “Aren’t you afraid of going to jail for turning yourself in?”

She thought. I’m used to being in dangerous situations. I’ve even been through death. This time, even if I end up in jail for real, I’ll make a comeback. But things are different for Vere. He hasn’t faced as many difficult experiences as I have. Going to jail would probably be a devastating blow for him.”

Emma asking these questions was both an inquiry and a test.

Vere was silent for a moment before saying, “If I really do have to go to jail, I’ll resign myself to fate. The data theft happened when I was little and foolish. I have to take responsibility for everything I’ve done.”

When Emma heard this, she smiled.

That smile was radiant and captivating.

She said, “Good. Very good! Vere, I’m not lacking in geniuses around me, so I never considered recruiting you. But after going through this incident, I’ve witnessed your character and loyalty!”

With that said, Emma extended her right hand and added. “Would you… like to join us?”

Vere was momentarily stunned.

He lowered his head to look at her hand and saw a black card.lying in the palm of her flawless and slender hand.

The classic icon

of Octagram on the card left him wide–eyed in disbelief, and he said, “This, this is…”

Vere then stared at Emma and said, “You are…”

He thought, ‘It’s Octagram that dominates the black market and has a fearsome reputation across the globel Word has it that this organization is so powerful that it can influence powerful nations! And the only person with the authority to recruit for the organization is
