Second Chances

During this time, Brad had been investigating Emma’s identity, but he found nothing. 

Emma felt that the police behind her were getting closer and closer. 

She didn’t have much time left, but her expression was still calm. 

ou’ve been trying to find out who I am.” 

“Do you still remember the financial war that caused you to lose 20 million dollars a year ago?” 

On the screen, Emma’s long hair fluttered in the night, and her red lips looked attractive. 

When Brad mentioned what happened a year ago, his expression changed drastically! 

He seemed to become very terrified. 

“What are you trying to say?” 

“I’m trying to tell you that one must learn from one’s mistakes. There’s always someone better than you. Nobody is above the law!” 

“So?” 

Emma scoffed, “You would never have dreamed that I was involved in the financial storm that almost killed you! 

“I know that for more than three hundred days and nights in the past year, you’ve been having nightmares every day. I’m afraid you’ll experience the despair of that time again! 

“If you continue to provoke me today, I’ll make you suffer a hundred times worse than a year ago even if I have to risk everything!” 

After Emma finished speaking, Brad’s expression became distorted. 

He would never forget the hellish financial storm he went through not long after he broke Liam’s legs and took over the Halls Group! 

At that time, Brad suffered huge losses every day! 

In just a few days, he had lost over 20 million dollars! 

In the end, Brad still signed a secret agreement and relied on the financial support of a famous tycoon family overseas to tide over the difficulties.

Even Simon, who was the CEO at that time, did not know about this! 

If even Simon didn’t know, how did an outsider like Emma know? 

“Looks like you have a death wish!” Brad’s voice was cold and sinister, filled with killing intent. 

He wanted Emma to be arrested by the police and charged with murder. 

But now, it seemed like he had to settle it himself. 

Emma did not know that a black muzzle was already aimed at her head. The gunman was on Holy Mountain, hundreds of meters away. 

If Brad gave the order, she would die instantly! 

Emma did not move at all. 

Emma’s smile became more beautiful, like a dahlia blooming at midnight. 

“If I die, the funds you borrowed from the Rafael Harmon family back then will immediately be withdrawn. Tomorrow, your stocks will plummet. Simon will know the truth of what happened back then. Everyone will know your incompetence! Do you dare to take the risk?” 

Time was running out. 

She did not have full confidence that Brad would retreat. 

However, after all these years, she had long seen through that there was no 100% chance of winning in this world. 

Only the strongest would survive. 

As expected, Brad could not help but feel psychological pressure. He was using his computer to check the company’s stocks! 

An unknown foreign account had launched an attack on the Halls Group’s shares. 

Brad felt like he was falling into hell as the amount of money involved was huge. 

Emma and Vere were the ones who had planned the financial war. 

Vere used the huge capital chain of the Rafael Harmon family to launch an attack on Brad. It was not something that Brad could stabilize with the funds he had. 

Brad had also received an email from the Rafael Harmon family, warning Brad they were withdrawing

the funds. 

Brad had not filled in the loopholes of the financial storm all these years. 

If the Rafael family withdrew their investment now, the entire Halls Group’s capital chain would 

break! 

By then, Simon would directly appoint Liam to be in charge of the company. 

Brad was not worried about Elsie going to jail, but Brad was afraid that Liam would make a comeback 

and Brad would suffer… 

He did not know what method Emma had used to get the Harmon family to become her backing! 

But this time, he could not attack no matter what! 

After a long time, Brad said in a hoarse voice, “What do you want?” 

Emma smiled coldly at the drone’s camera. “Let the person who killed Alva turn himself in and I go free.” 

Ten seconds later. 

“Over there! Quick, catch that person!” 

The police, who were heading straight for Emma, saw a figure suddenly flash through the forest. 

The police immediately arrested that person. 

His body was still stained with blood, and there were traces of fallen leaves on his clothes. 

It was obvious he had something to do with Alva’s death. 

Emma hid behind a big tree and did not move until the police brought the suspect who pushed Alva off the cliff away. 

After confirming that it was safe, she walked out from behind the tree. 

At this moment, a person darted out from the bushes and stabbed Emma’s carotid artery! 

Emma was caught off guard. She did not expect Brad to have a backup plan. 

As Emma was subdued, she could not move. She could only lay on the ground! 

The other party’s moves were swift and fierce. Emma relied on her sharp intuition to avoid his attacks

at her vital points. 

However, she was in a passive position now. Just as the second slash was about to land, she used all her strength to resist. 

However, the sound of footsteps could be heard coming from not far away! 

Emma did not know if the person was a friend or foe. 

Just as Emma was figuring out what had happened, someone pressed a tranquilizer gun on the burly 

man who attacked her. 

There was a rustling sound. 

The man struggled for a few seconds before his eyes rolled back, and he fainted. 

Emma heard the creaking sounds of the wheels of a wheelchair over the wooden leaves. 

Liam looked at her worriedly. “Emma, why are you here?” 

When Emma saw Liam, she heaved a big sigh of relief. Then she hugged Liam tightly. 

“Fortunately…” 

During the negotiation just now, even if she did not see it with her own eyes, she knew that she had just experienced a brush with death. 

Fortunately, Emma could still meet Liam and hug him. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Emma hugged him and refused to let go. 

Liam also hugged her waist tightly. 

“Let’s go home. Then we’ll talk.” 

Icovine Estate. 

Emma told Liam everything. She only lied about the reason she used to make Brad compromise in the end. 

Regarding her lie, Liam did not ask further. It was impossible to tell if he believed her or not from the expression on his face. He only asked Emma to rest well. Tonight, he would go to the study and deal with Brad. 

Emma sighed, recalling Alva when Emma found her..

Alva was covered with blood and her limbs were broken. The scene was bloody and tending

She sighed and said, “The outside world has always said that you are cruel and heartless. Today, after witnessing it with my own eyes, I know that ruthless and evil person is Brad. One day, I will let the whole world know that Brad is the real devil!” 

To deal with Emma, Brad killed Alva just like that! 

Not just Alva, but the scapegoat who had been instructed by Brad to attack Alva. 

Who knew how many times he had done such things in the past. 

These people were only pawns. They could be killed at Brad’s whims and fancies because of his desire for power. 

Emma gritted her teeth. 

She thought, ‘Hell must be empty now as the demons were in the human world.” 

Sooner or later, she would tell the truth to the police. 

Brad would definitely pay the price for all his murderous acts….. 

The next day, at three in the afternoon, the stocks of the Halls Group fell drastically!
