The moon shone brightly in the sky. The streets were quiet at three o'clock in the morning. The streetlights gathered together like a galaxy.
However, there was a little girl who was running towards him, her eyes shining brighter than the stars. Elijah's lips curled up slightly. At this moment, Emma had already run up to the car and knocked on the window. The window rolled down, revealing Elijah's stunning face.
"Wait, I have something to give you," Emma said, opening the car door and waving her hand. "Get out."
Her tone was natural and casual. The driver and the assistant in the passenger seat were stunned.
Who was this little fairy? How could she be so arrogant? Didn't she know that she was facing the Sixth Master of the Johnson Family, who was known throughout the city as a fierce god, capricious and especially averse to women?
Even if she approached him, she couldn't even touch his sleeve.
But in the midst of their sympathy, Elijah raised an eyebrow and stepped out of the car.
The driver and the assistant looked at each other in disbelief. They saw the same admiration and amazement in each other's eyes when they looked at Emma.
Thinking of their CEO's unusual behavior tonight, they couldn't help but admire him even more.
Emma didn't notice much and when she saw Elijah coming down, she smiled and said, "Thank you for helping me so many times!" Knowing that the little girl was used to trying to trick him, Elijah wasn't fooled and asked, "Didn't you say you had something to give me? Where is it?" As he spoke, he opened his palms.
Emma blinked, not sure if she would be beaten if she changed her mind at this moment. She was too impulsive. She had been moved a little just now, and she ran over in a fit of passion. She didn't know if he would like the gift if she gave it to him now.
Seeing her silent for a long time, Elijah leaned over and approached her slowly, "Hmm?" His tone was magnetic and pleasant, with a hint of danger.
Emma looked up and saw the infinitely enlarged handsome face in front of her.
Who could resist this? So she quickly took off the amulet she had been wearing around her neck since she was a child and said, "This is the amulet I have been wearing since I was a child. It is said to bring good luck and avoid danger. I'm giving it to you."
At this moment, Emma was a little nervous. This was something she had been wearing since she was a child, and it was precious to her, but it might not be in someone else's eyes.
As expected, Elijah frowned and asked, "Why are you giving me this?" "Because..." Emma explained in a low voice, "Your situation is quite dangerous.
There are always people who want to harm you. I'm giving you this. Maybe it can really bring you good luck..."
Her voice grew softer as she spoke. Elijah listened, slightly taken aback. No one had ever spoken to him like this before, not even his own brothers or supposed relatives. Those who came close to him had ulterior motives, seeking only things related to their own interests or even his life.
But this little girl who knew nothing of the world had managed to touch the softest part of his heart with her plain words... Even though he knew that beneath her innocent appearance, she had the same cold, hard heart and guardedness as him. He was willing to believe her.
Emma glanced at Elijah, seeing that he remained unmoved, and breathed a sigh of relief as she withdrew her hand.
"Oh, I didn't think it through. I'll give you something else next time. Goodbye." She was actually relieved that he was disgusted with her gift.
Emma turned around, feeling pleased with herself, but her shoulder was suddenly grabbed. Elijah had come around to face her and snatched the necklace away.
"How can you take back something you gave me as a gift?" he asked, putting the necklace on himself. It was a black cord with a delicate silver crescent moon pendant that didn't look feminine on Elijah at all. Instead, it highlighted his alluring collarbone.
Emma couldn't help but marvel. He really was a walking clothes hanger, looking good in anything he wore or put on.
She had given him the gift, so she waved goodbye and headed back. "You don't have to see me off, big brother. You can go back now. Thank you for today."
She said goodnight and ran back to her car. Elijah watched as Emma's figure gradually disappeared from sight before getting into his own car.
He lowered his head and touched the cool round moon pendant hanging from his chest, thinking about Emma's words that it could bring good luck and ward off disasters, and couldn't help but smile.
It's amazing how naive and gullible young girls can be sometimes. However, neither Elijah nor Emma knew that this casually spoken sentence would become a reality in the near future.
The next morning, Emma got up and went to the hospital after tidying up. After all, Isabella was injured because of her mother, so she had to go and see her, right?
However, she didn't expect to run into William, who was also there to visit Isabella, at the door of the ward. William hesitated for a moment when he saw Emma and asked, "Are you okay?"
Although Emma was kidnapped only yesterday, the circle of the upper class in the city was small, and news spread quickly, so everyone knew about it in no time.
Facing William's sudden concern, Emma remained unmoved and replied coldly, "I'm fine."
Just two words, but they were extremely indifferent. She didn't even bother to pretend to care about him. With that, Emma entered the ward.
The Miller family stayed at the hospital all night until Isabella woke up, and then they finally went home with relief. When Emma came to visit, Isabella was pleasantly surprised and called out, "Sister?" Then she turned to William and said in a coquettish tone, "Brother William, could you please buy breakfast for me and my sister? I'm still hungry..."
"Sure," William immediately agreed.
Isabella was not really hungry, but she just wanted to be alone with Emma. As soon as William left, Emma smirked and asked, "Are you feeling proud of yourself?"
"Of course," Isabella replied with a bright smile and a hint of arrogance in her eyes. "As the saying goes, 'the greater the obstacle, the greater the glory.' Emma, you put so much effort into it, but in the end, you still lost."
When Isabella woke up, she didn't plead with Benjamin, but instead cried and said she wanted to atone for Thomas's mistakes.
How could Benjamin hate such a sensible and kind niece? Besides, Isabella was innocent and had no knowledge of what had happened.
Isabella's move is called "throwing the car to protect the handsome. "
It doesn't matter to Thomas and Scarlett that they were kicked out. Isabella is still the second Miss Miller of her family, and the days are long. Who knows if she can't fight back?
Emma stepped forward and looked down at Isabella.
After a while, she suddenly reached out and pinched Isabella's chin. In her pitch-black and bright eyes, a wolf-like light appeared, bloody and fierce.
"It doesn't matter. Let's see how many lives you have left to show off to me."
Her voice was very soft and gentle, which was unusual, but it made people shudder.
