Chapter 501 Frantic Escape

Michael was a sharp guy. With Daniel's hint, he quickly realized someone was helping him from behind the scenes.

He looked puzzled, his mind racing with guesses. 'Who could it be? Grandpa?'

But that didn't seem likely. Mason was old and had long stopped meddling in Smith Corporation's affairs. Even if he did, Mason would have come to him first to settle accounts.

Honestly, getting into a bar fight was no small matter. It involved legal issues and could damage Smith Corporation's reputation.

If Mason had intervened, Michael would be in an even tougher spot. Besides, Mason was always cautious and wouldn't act rashly, drawing media attention.

He didn't even consider Emily.

"So, who is it?" Michael asked.

Seeing Michael's confusion, Daniel had no choice but to give him a hint.

"Michael, you're underestimating Emily."

Emily?

A jolt of realization hit Michael, clearing the fog in his mind.

"How... how could it be her?"

"Why not?" Daniel replied, recounting Emily's impressive actions that day.

Most of what he knew came from Veda, who had a knack for embellishing stories. But having witnessed Emily's prowess firsthand, Veda was genuinely impressed and awed. Daniel relayed the vivid details, hoping Michael would appreciate Emily's efforts. Right now, Daniel cared more about Michael recognizing Emily's contributions than about them reconciling.

Michael was stunned, his emotions in turmoil.
