Second Chances

Daniel and Aiden were both as good–looking as Liam. The three of them each had their own temperament and style. Liam was more cold and hard, Daniel was more refined, and Aiden was dashing. 

No matter who it was, they made Tess’s heart pound. 

However, Daniel did not come amiably. “Mr. Simon, my niece and Liam are already married. What are you trying to do?” 

Daniel was a financial rookie. In front of a senior like Simon, he should be respectful. It wasn’t his style to question Simon aggressively, but this time, he really felt indignant for Emma. 

Simon didn’t know that today would be such a coincidence. He coughed and spoke with a dark expression to ease the atmosphere, “It’s just an ordinary family party, Mr. Rivera. Don’t overthink it.” “Ordinary family party?” Aiden said mockingly, “Is there a reason you let your daughter–in–law sit outside for an ordinary family party?” After he finished speaking, he looked at Tess. “Is there a need to share a steak at an ordinary family party?” 

Simon and the Curry family didn’t know who Aiden was. 

Tess’s mother frowned and said, “Who are you? What right do you have to speak to Tess like this? Are you also Emma’s uncle?” 

Aiden didn’t feel awkward at all. He just smiled coldly. “I’m not Emma’s relative, but as a passerby, I have the right to be unhappy with your behavior.” 

Tess’s father frowned and said, “Since you’re just 

matters.” 

a passerby, don’t interfere in other people’s family 

Daniel looked coldly at the Curry family. “Aiden is part of the royal family of Nuverland. He has ultimate control over your family’s projects in Nuverland.” 

Daniel’s calm words instantly made Tess’s parents‘ expressions change. 

Simon looked at Aiden with a complicated gaze. Aiden actually was part of the royal family. 

The Curry family did not dare to act rashly. 

Liam looked at Aiden. When their gazes met, tension immediately rose between them. 

The appearance of Daniel and Aiden quickly caused the dinner to be interrupted. 

In the end, the Curry family excused themselves and left early. Simon got into the car with a cold expression. At the entrance of the club, only Emma, Liam, Daniel, and Aiden were left. 

When their respective drivers drove over, Daniel instructed Emma, “Next time, remember not to be too ‘understanding‘ when it is critical. Your uncles don’t want you to be looked down upon, 

understand?” 

Daniel had always been steady and mature in front of Emma, unlike Sean who would joke with her. 

Emma nodded. “I’ll remember that.” 

On the other side, Liam and Aiden remained silent. 

When the doorman drove Aiden’s sports car over, before Aiden got into the car, he said lazily to Liam, “Your wife cooks very well. If you make her unhappy, be careful. I’ll steal her.” 

With that, Aiden ignored Liam’s gloomy expression and left. 

Daniel’s car arrived at this moment. “I won’t talk to you anymore. Call us if you need anything, understand?” 

“Yes. Don’t worry, Uncle Daniel.” Emma bid farewell to Daniel and immediately turned to Liam, who looked ominous. She pinched his cheek playfully. “Are you jealous again?” 

Liam saw that Emma looked at him immediately after she was done with her uncle, smiling brightly. No matter how unhappy Aiden’s words made him, he was no longer angry. “What about you? Aren’t you jealous?” 

Emma thought about it. “A little. But you did well today.” As she spoke, she hugged Liam’s arm. “The moment you ate the steak, Tess almost- 

Before Emma could say the word “cry“, a figure carrying a large bucket suddenly rushed toward her. “Emma, you bitch,” 

The bucket gave off a disgusting and pungent smell. 

Liam instinctively stood in front of Emma. However, Emma was worried there was sulfuric acid in the bucket, so she kicked it away. 

The bucket was sent flying and landed on the person. A large bucket of red paint splashed all over the person. Although it was not sulfuric acid, it was pungent and difficult to wash off. It was really wicked to think of such a move. 

The culprit was a girl about 18 or 19 years old. 

2/4 

Emma did not know her and said in disgust, “Who are you? Why did you throw such a thing at me?” 

The girl screamed, “Emma, I want revenge. I want to kill you.” 

The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the crowd. The security guards also rushed over. 

Liam frowned and said unhappily, “She’s causing trouble. Send her to the police station.” 

“Yes, Mr. Hall,” the security guards said. 

Fiona Hill was still struggling. However, she was already dragged away and could not approach 

Emma. 

Liam took off his suit jacket and draped it over Emma. “Are you scared?” 

Emma took a deep breath and shook her head. “I’m alright. Shall we go to the police station to take a look?” 

“Let’s go,” Liam said. 

At the police station, after investigation, Emma learned that although Fiona had no enmity with her, her cousin had a blood feud with her. Fiona was Kate’s cousin. When something happened to Kate, Fiona’s first reaction was to come to Troln City to take revenge on Emma. 

“I’ll go in and talk to her alone.” Outside the interrogation room, Emma touched Liam’s hand comfortingly before walking into the room. 

Fiona lowered her head and sat in her seat. The paint on her body had been washed clean, but traces were left on her hair and clothes. A faint pungent smell filled the room. 

“I didn’t do anything to Kate. She deserved it,” Emma said. 

Fiona lowered her head and cried. “But… without her, I would have no family left.” 

Emma frowned. 

Although Kate did not have much feelings for Fiona, she still provided for her monthly living expenses.

“I just want to tell you that everything you do has consequences. Today, you’re just causing trouble, but if you continue this, you’ll end up like your cousin. I won’t say anything else.” Emma stood up and looked at Fiona coldly. “I hope you won’t use such a lowly method to take revenge on me in the 

future. I can talk to you nicely, and I can also send you to jail without me. on me in the Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

cousin.” 

Fiona didn’t say anything, but her tears fell. She was powerless in front of Emma. 

With that, Emma turned and left. 

Outside the door, Liam was waiting for Emma. “How’s it?” 

Emma said to Liam, “I’ve already made it clear to her. Let’s go.” 

“Okay.” Liam held Emma’s waist and put her in the front passenger seat. 

As Liam drove, Emma realized they were not going to Icovine Estate. She recalled the last time he had pulled her to the riverside just like this. They were in the same car and on an unfamiliar route. She could still remember what they did in the car. 

Emma immediately became vigilant. “Where are we going? Aren’t we going home?”
