"What are you afraid of? The whole city knows that you, Tim, are arrogant and domineering, and I know that too." Emily raised her head slightly, looked directly into Tim's eyes that were filled with anger and madness, and remained calm.
The movement here quickly attracted everyone's attention, and Yao Yan ran over quickly.
When Emily saw her, she winked at her and asked her to take James away.
Yao Yan also knew that they couldn't afford to offend Tim, so she ignored James's objection and wanted to take him away directly.
Emily didn't let go of James' hand immediately. She held it tightly, and the nail of her thumb pinched his flesh hard.
That was to remind him that he had to pretend to be someone who didn't care about her safety and only cared about himself.
James swallowed hard, and the moment Emily let go, he turned around and left with Yao Yan.
Tim saw that James, who was very aggressive just now, was now a coward, and his anger was immediately dissipated.
He said sarcastically as always: "The person you have been protecting has now abandoned you. It seems that the only person you care about is just like this!"
He and Emily have known each other for a long time. In his opinion, Emily has no friends around her, and she doesn't seem to need friends. She is a very cold woman.
But there is only James, a friend with the same surname as her.
Emily pulled her lips and chuckled: "This is my business, you don't need to worry about it!"
"You!" Tim was choked by her, and his fists tightened at the side, but he didn't swing them.
William has been watching quietly on the side and didn't intervene. He knew that although Tim hated Emily on the surface, he didn't seem to hate her that much.
"I have something else to do. I wish you all a good time!" Emily threw down a sentence and was about to turn around and leave.
Tim looked at her calm and self-assured back and gritted his teeth in anger.
"Do you think she really loved you before?" Tim said to William, who had been silent on the side, while drinking.
William still ignored him and drank his wine.
"You said that she was always so cold and indifferent during the time she was dating you. Although she always had a smile on her face, I felt that she smiled whenever she saw someone, not a smile that was truly from the heart." Tim was just so angry with Emily that he drank a little too much and spoke as he pleased, completely forgetting to consider the feelings of his long-time brother.
Hearing this, William couldn't help but tighten his hand holding the wine glass.
She had never loved herself?
Did she really never love?
William's beautiful black eyes, like glass, slowly became cold.
As soon as he got in the car, James called.
"Are you okay?" James's hurried and concerned voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I'm fine." Emily paused slightly and said, "Don't be impulsive if you encounter this situation again in the future."
On the other end of the phone, James sighed softly and said, "I know, I won't do it next time. Just like before, let them all think that you treat me sincerely, but I am selfish."
"Well, no matter what situation you encounter, remember to protect yourself first." Emily reminded again.
James responded and hung up the phone.
Too many things have happened in the past two years. They have agreed that when something happens, she will be in the open and he will be in the dark; when doing business, he will be in the open and she will be in the dark.
When Emily returned to the mansion, Joseph was still in the study holding a video conference with executives of the overseas branch.
She went back to her room, took a shower, and prepared to go to bed.
At this time, the phone vibrated. It was a text message from James: Have you arrived home? Yao Yan just called me and told me that not long after we left, your sister Abigail went to the private room where William was. It seemed that William called her to go over.
Emily was not surprised at all that Abigail would go on a date with William.
She knew Abigail better. Abigail was the kind of person who liked to let all the outstanding men around her appreciate her beauty.
She would dress herself up well every day, and she enjoyed the feeling of being liked by men.
So even if she acted so much in admiration for Joseph in the afternoon, she would still not let go of William, who was also from a wealthy family.
She had always been playing with many men, comparing the best and most outstanding man.
Emily didn't know that Abigail had seen countless men, and now she finally found out who the best man was.
Joseph was the first and most outstanding man she pursued, and the second was William.
She could now give up other men and focus on grabbing one of these two men.
Emily sent a message back: Don't worry about her, go to bed early!
James saw the message Emily sent back, and his eyes deepened slightly.
There was one thing he had never told Emily.
Then it was about the death of William's father. He suspected that Abigail was behind it.
When Joseph returned to the room, Emily had already fallen asleep.
Looking deeply at her quiet sleeping face, Joseph's sexy thin lips slightly raised a meaningful arc.
"Whether you really lost your memory or pretended not to remember me, I won't blame you for breaking the appointment that year." Joseph said slowly and softly in her ear.
Emily was sleeping soundly, but she felt a little itchy in her ear, so she reached out and scratched it.
Joseph held her delicate hand, and the smile on the corner of his lips deepened a little.
