Second Chances

Chapter 63 

After arriving at Icovine Estate, Emma changed out of her wet clothes and took a hot shower. 

While she was taking a shower, Liam sat in the study making a phone call. 

“It’s about time,” he said. 

After he gave the order, his subordinates immediately began to take action. 

That night, a significant event impacted the upper–class society of Troln City. 

The Johnson family’s home, which was renowned in Troln City, was sealed off by the police that night.. 

As soon as 

the news came out, it shocked the entire city. 

When Emma went to school the next day, she also heard that Kate had knelt in front of the Hall family’s villa in the heavy rain last night, begging Brad and Elsie to protect her. In the end, she was driven away by the butler. Brad and Elsie could not even be bothered to see her. 

What was even more lamentable was that many disgraceful things that happened during the early days of the Johnson family’s rise to wealth were exposed overnight, even involving several homicide cases. 

Overnight, the Johnson family’s home was sealed off. Everyone, from the master of the home to the servants, was brought to the police station for questioning. 

And all of this was orchestrated by Liam… 

In the classroom, Emma pondered carefully. 

Over the years, the Johnson family relied on Brad. Kate had provoked Emma time and time again. 

On the surface, Liam seemed to condone it, but he was actually enduring silently. 

It was all for the sake of waiting for the right moment to cause the complete downfall of the former largest family of Troin City. 

Liam was a ferocious beast that lay dormant in the middle of the night and could hide his true intentions and emotions. 

He was silent and had long been staring at the enemies in the dark. When the crucial moment arrived, he dealt the enemies a fatal blow. 

“Click!” 

Emma was so engrossed in her thoughts that she was completely unaware that two girls were secretly taking photos of her by the classroom 

window. 

“This one is clearl” 

“When the time comes, we’ll photoshop it again and let everyone see her true colors. Mr. Rivera mustn’t be deceived by such a morally corrupt womani 

Emma was lost in thought and didn’t realize what was happening 

It wasn’t until she got to physical education class, when the situation on the Internet had intensified and her classmates came to remind her one after another, that she realized what was going on. 

“Emma, the photos of you going to the police station yesterday have been posted online again. Netizens now think you’re a 

bad 

person who

sells student datal Hurry up and post on Twitter to clarify things!” 

Emma unlocked her phone. It was only then that she realized that she had been cyberbullied again. 

From the photos shot when she was taken away by the police yesterday to the ones taken today when she returned to class, they were all shot from the same angle 

Emma roughly visualized the angle in her mind and instantly pinpointed the person who had taken the photos in the classroom. 

With a displeased expression, she strode toward a group of people in the field. 

“Haha. Look. Sure enough, Mr. Rivera’s fans are cursing hert Ahl What are you doing?” 

The two girls in the group with their backs to Emma were still discussing. 

Suddenly, a basketball flew over and accurately hit the girls‘ phones. 

The phones fell to the ground, and the two girls stomped their feet in anger. 

“Emma, how dare you hit me?” 

Emma looked at them with a sense of superiority and said, “Look carefully. I didn’t hit you!” 

Under Emma’s control, the basketball indeed did not hit anyone. It merely smashed the phones of those two girls. 

“People like you who enjoy taking sneaky photos probably have lots of disgusting stuff violating others‘ privacy hidden in your phones. It’s fine if they are smashed.” 

“Your” 

One of the girls was furious. “I’m going to post your bad behavior online and let all of Mr. Rivera’s fans see what kind of person you are!” 

Emily Torres was a fervent fan of Sean. She managed a fan group and was the leader among the fans. 

Everyone said she should expand the group even more as she might be able to obtain Sean’s attention and favor one day. 

Emily was working hard, hoping that Sean would notice her one day. 

But Emma’s appearance made her extremely jealous. 

Ever since Sean made a statement the other day, all the fans shifted their adoration to Emma. 

Emily thought, “Everyone praises Emma for being beautiful and outstanding in the group chat, while I’m ignored. So, I must ruin Emma. Everyone’s attention will then return to me, giving me a chance to get close to Mr. Rivera…‘ 

Emma immediately understood most of the situation when she saw the badge on Emily’s clothes with Sean’s photo on it. 

She thought, ‘She is a huge fan of Uncle Sean, and her targeting me like this is definitely out of jealousy.” 

“Do you know that secretly taking photos and spreading rumors is illegal?” Emma asked. “What’s the matter? Is idolizing celebrities more important than the law now? How many more pictures have you secretly taken of me? Come clean!” 

Emily had long had a habit of secretly taking photos. Other than secretly taking photos of Emma, she would also secretly take photos of other girls and share them privately on a small scale.

She showed no remorse at all. Instead, she cursed at Emma, 

“I’m just taking photos,” she said. “What does it have to do with you? Is it illegal for me to take photos? I’m not like a certain someone who is so desperate for money that she sells students‘ personal information and even gets taken to the police station!” 

“I know, right?” Emily’s friend said. “You said we violated the right to privacy, but you violated the right to privacy of hundreds of thousands of students! If we’re breaking the law, then your offense is even more serious!” 

The notice from the police station had not been released yet. Everyone still did not know that Emma was innocent. 

The two of them scolded Emma and hurled insults at her with greater intensity. 

The surrounding students also began to discuss. 

“What’s the relationship between Emma and Mr. Rivera? He defended Emma that day. How come Emma is being criticized even more severely online this time compared to the backlash the other day? Why hasn’t Mr. Rivera expressed anything yet?” 

“Could it be Emma is really hyping things up? Could it be that Mr. Rivera doesn’t know Emma at all?” 

“I’ve long had doubts about the online rumors. Mr. Rivera is so classy, while Emma grew up in the countryside. They’re not from the same 

world at all.” 

“We’ve been misjudging Emma all along. She even sold student data for money, so she’s not a good person.” 

“Bah! Such a person is worse than a beggar on the street!” 

Those students readily believed that things were true based on limited signs. Usually annoyed by nuisance calls, they wished they could rush up and settle scores with Emma now. 

Some people even took out their phones and took photos openly. 

Emma could stop one person from taking photos, but there was no way she could stop so many people. 

Immediately getting physical could trigger cyberbullying even more easily. 

“Who dares to bully Emma?” 

Just then, an angry and familiar voice came from outside the crowd. 

Sean, wearing sunglasses and fashionable clothes, walked toward Emma with an entourage.. 

Beside him were reporters frantically snapping photos and five to six bodyguards escorting him. 

The students looked at each other. 

They thought, ‘He, he’s… the real Mr. Rivera? The real Mr. Rivera has actually come to our school!! 

Before everyone could recover from their surprise, Sean was already standing beside Emma with his bodyguards and reporters. 

He was more than a head taller than Emma and had a gentle expression that he had never displayed in public. He said softly to Emma, “My dear niece, I just finished shooting and didn’t check my phone. I didn’t expect you to be so harshly criticized onlinel Why didn’t you call me right away?” 

The students thought, ‘Niece? The famous Mr. Rivera is actually Emma’s uncle?”

Emily and the other girl were also dumbstruck. 

Those few people who were just discussing how Emma had “fallen out of favor” and calling her a “country bumpkin” instantly had eggs on 

their faces. 

The media went crazy snapping photos. “Mr. Rivera, Is Emma really your
