Second Chances

Chapter CHAPTER 207



Chapter 207 

“Boss, here’s a gift for you.” Josiah had called, sounding mysterious. 

Emma was still a little weak today. She ate a few mouthfuls of oatmeal and some side dishes before going upstairs to rest. 

The bedroom was well–lit. Emma wore a loose knitted sweater. She sat in the sun, looking lazy and casual. “What gift?” 

“I sent it to your email. Noah and I spent a lot of effort to get it. You can ponder it over carefully later over your meal,” Josiah said

Emma rolled her eyes inwardly. She thought, What is it that made him so secretive?‘ She complained silently as she opened her email. After the file was downloaded, she clicked on it. 

Emma was slightly stunned. In the video, a skinny man was being tortured. 

Emma only looked at it for a second before closing it. The bloody scene stirred up some dark memories, and her face turned slightly pale. “Where did you get this?” 

Josiah said, Impressive, right? We even found the video of that old bastard being tortured by the police of Lomiland.” 

Torture was a legal punishment in Lomiland. Although it was not as exaggerated as in medieval times, it was enough to make people suffer a lot. 

Emma did not watch the video in detail, but from the figure in the video, she could tell that the person being tortured was the Lord of King’s Association. 

Emma recalled the dark memories from the King’s Association and was reluctant to continue this topic. “You’re too reckless,” 

Josiah argued, “Boss Noah just came back and heard that you’re sick. He’s trying to make you happy.” 

– 

“I don’t like bloody scenes, Emma remarked. 

Josiah comforted, “Alright, Boss. Don’t worry. We will be careful and definitely won’t let anyone find out.” 

Emma nodded and hung up. She let out a long sigh of relief and lay on the bed. 

If it were in the past, Emma would want to see her enemies being tormented. When Aria died, she even wore a bright long dress to cause trouble. She wondered if it was because she had been too tired recently. 

Emma narrowed her eyes and slept for a while more. Unexpectedly, when she woke up, her phone nearly exploded with 

numerous messages. 

Lane had texted: [Miss Wilson, are you feeling better? There are bad rumors about you in school. If you’re feeling better, hurry up and take a look. Let Mr. Hall deal with it for you.] 

Emma was the first to see the text message from Lane, followed by several missed calls from Charon Military School’s training instructor. 

Emma was still a little dizzy, but she called back anyway. “Mr. Lopez, what’s the matter?” 

The instructor 

on the other end of the line sounded very anxious. “Oh my. You finally picked up the phone. Someone posted about your in the alumni forum. Have you seen it?” 

“Not yet. Hold on. Emma opened her eyes and logged into her account with a tablet. 

After entering the alumni forum’s programming, as expected, Emma saw the post that was ranked first. There were even hundreds of reposts. She clicked on it and quickly browsed through it. 

Someone had taken a photo of Emma and Josiah not long ago sitting in his rose–red Ferrari to deal with King’s Association. 

The post was titled “The Real Man Behind the Champion. Please find out who this punk is?” 

The general content of the post was that Emma had a close relationship with the man in the photo and that she was flirting with other young hunks behind Liam’s back. 

Emma had a lot of attention to begin with. Coincidentally, there was not much training today, so the entire alumni forum was in an uproar. 

But most people were in solidarity with Emma. 

Someone remarked: Is the original poster crazy? How can he come to such a conclusion with just a few photos? Can’t friends take the car together?] 

Another commented: [Everyone in Troln City knows who Miss Wilson’s man is, okay? Aren’t you afraid that the H Family will come looking for you?] 

In Troln City, there were only a few prominent families with the letter “H” in the beginning. 

However, some people didn’t usually watch the news or pay attention to the previous press conference. 

Someone asked: [Who from the H family? Can you give me a name?] 

Finally, someone said: [L] 

When H and L came out, many people naturally thought of Liam 

At the same time, in a stall in the female washroom, Riley looked at the phone screen with a serious expression. She read 

everyone’s comments. 

Many did not believe the relationship between Emma and Liam. Soon, they were slapped in the face by the students who posted the video of the press conference where the Hall family announced Liam’s relationship. 

Most of the people were speaking up for Emma. 

One of them said: [Poster, what’s your mentality? They have such a good relationship. Do you know that it’s very annoying to spread rumors and cause trouble?] 

Another said: [If you have the time to be jealous of others, you might as well spend more time improving your physical fitness.] 

Someone added: [No matter how jealous you are, it’s useless. Emma is Charon Military School’s goddess.] 

At this point, Riley’s fingertips trembled and dug into her flesh. She gritted her teeth and turned off the screen. She left the bathroom angrily. 

Because the alumni forum was half–open to the public, any negative news would affect Charon Military School’s reputation. In the end, the teacher still called Emma, hoping she could personally come to the school to settle it. 

Emma put 

on a black shirt and jacket and went out. She did not tell the butler where she was going or look for a driver. 

When Emma arrived at school, a few teachers were waiting for her in the office. She walked in, dressed in black. 

The female teacher in the lead said, “What’s with the news about the alumni forum? You know, we’re a military school.

Chapter 207 

Students riding in such luxury cars have a bad impact on society 

Emma pursed her lips and did not speak. However, she complained inwardly. 

It was all Josiah’s fault. Emma had told him to keep a low profile, but he insisted on driving a Ferrari, and in such a flashy rose red color. 

“I’ll take care of this. I’ll delete the post, Emma said. 

The teacher continued. “Just deleting the post won’t do. Many students might have already taken screenshots.” 

Emma was a little weak today. As she was about to say something, an instructor beside them whispered to the teacher who was talking to Emma, “Liam is her boyfriend. It’s fine to just delete the post. Let’s end it here.” 

As expected, when the teacher who taught Emma heard the name, her expression changed slightly. She looked at Emma with a stunned expression, but she quickly stopped. “In that case delete the post first. I’ll talk to you after the school discusses it. 

“Okay.” After Emma agreed, she turned and left alone. 

After coming out for a while, Emma’s head started to pound again. 

After the two teachers finished chatting, they faced the computer and logged into the thread. They began to delete the thread. 

However, Emma hadn’t gotten far when she heard a teacher behind her say, “Hey, that’s not right. What’s going on?” 

There was an anonymous message in the post. 

Someone had written: [To those who say that Liam and Emma are a couple, what does this photo mean? Liam is married, but Emma’s personal information states she is unmarried. Is Emma dating or being a mistress?] There was even a photo attached at the end of the comment. 

In the photo, Liam was holding a marriage certificate and standing at the entrance of city hall, as if talking to someone. 

The two teachers looked at each other and looked up at Emma again. They said curiously, “Emma, don’t leave yet. Can you explain this photo?”
