Chapter 58

Robert hesitated for a moment before saying, “Thicheve you Then he caught sight of the purple bruises on

Emma's neck, and his eyes turned bloodshot in an instant. He thought. ‘If Elysia is behind all this, | won't let her

off the book.

His fists clenched tight, his heart filled with rage. Emina was was someone he had cherished for over a decade,

someone he wouldn't dare to touch He couldn't forgive these men hunting her like this He said, “Mr. Rosewood,

call the police.”

Hearing this, Bella chimed in. “Robert's right, Scout. They deserve to spend the rest of their lives behind bars.”

Scott almost didn’t think twice before he retorted, “No way! We can’t call the police. Do you want this scandal to

becpublic knowledge? What would that do to our family’s reputation!”

Emma held back her tears and stayed silent. Although she agreed with Scott's approach, the still felt wronged for

no apparent reason.

Bella glares and said angrily. “Are you going to let them go scut-free?”

Hearing this, one man quickly said. “If you dare do anything to us, we'll expose this whole thing right away. Don’t

believe us? Go ahead and try!

“Forget it.” Scott pinched his brow and said. “Our family can’t afford this kind of disgrace.”

Robert's hands were balled into fists, his eyes hard as he looked at those middle-aged men.

Bella didn’t know what to say. She had to admit that Scott had a point. Innocence was so important for a girl. If

this scandal becpublic, she was afraid Emma would never hold her head up high again.

“Alright, get Emma sclean clothes. We shouldn't stay here any longer,” Scott said, then turned to the

middle-aged men and barked. “Now get out of here!”

Seeing Scott's almost ferocious expression, those men quickly pulled up their pants, grabbed their clothes, and

fled.

Emma changed into a fresh set of clothes, washed her face, but her eyes were still red and puity, looking utterly

pitiful and heart-wrenching. She said, “Dad, you have to stand up for me.”

“You say Elysia is behind all this. How can you prove it?” Scott furrowed his brows and asked.

Emma thought, “Elysia must have been here; otherwise, how could she have colluded with those men she said.

“The security cameras, Elysta was here. The cameras must have caught her”

Scott nodded.

The Rosewood Group had business dealings with the Glory Hotel Besides, Scott and the hotal manager were

friends. With a phone call, the hotel manager agreed to let them access the security footage.

They went to the security room, asked the staff to step aside, and began to review the footage. Surprisingly.

Elysia didn’t appear in the footage at all. Instead, at around 8:20 PM, Emma appeared on the screen with a joyful

expression, holding a room card and opening the door to room A5302 After that, there was footage of them

rushing in

Everyone except Errama was confused, thinking. ‘Emma has gone in there by herself, and she looked so happy!

Emma could hardly believe her eyes. She thought, How could there be no sign of Elysia! She wanted to say

something but caught Scott's fierce gaze and immediately shut her mouth

Holding Emma, Bella was unable to believe what she was seeing on the footage. Bella thought. “Enuna is the

daughter | have raised with such care. how could she have done something like this?‘

In the blind spot of the security camera in the underground garage of the Glory Hotel, Elysia took a memory card

from one middle-aged man. The man said, “Lady, this card has the video of that woman. What about the money

you promised ust”

Elysia took out a bank card from her pocket and handed it over. She said coldly, “Here is 150 thousand dollars.

The password is the last six digs of the card number”

Hearing this, those men looked at each other, hesitating and not reaching for the canl

“Lady, didn’t we agree on 300 thousand?”“ one man carefully, his forehead beaded with sweat. He thought,

‘Dealing with this woman is no easy If | said sorriluing to upset her. | might end up getting beaten again?

Chapter 58

Elysia’s brow twitched slightly, her expression displeased. She said, “I did promise you 300 thousand, but | didn’t

ask you to mess things up

p like this.

*150 thousand is more than enough, considering my generosity. If you don’t want it, | can take it back” As Elysia

spoke, she was about to put the cand back in her pocket.

Seeing this, the man quickly said, “It's enough, it's more than enough. Thank you, lady”

Elysia stopped her action and handed the card back to the mat

The

man eagerly took it, bowing and scraping to Elysia, his face full of lattery.

Elysia said, “Once you've done what | told you to do, the remaining150 thousand is yours whenever you

want

ver the remaining money.

Hearing Elysia’s words, those men’s eyes lit up. They thought, As long as they could deal with that woman, we

can still get That's 150 thousand! It is tempting.

Seeing their greedy expressions, Elysia sneered inside, Emma, if you blanyone, blyourself for not

having as much money as me. Since you want to play. I'll play along. After all. | have plenty of money.”

At that moment, Scott and the others were leaving the Glory Hotel, Bella still held Emma, with Scott walking

ahead, his face as dark as could be. After a brief farewell at the hotel entrance, Robert got into the blue sports

car he had driven there and left.

Although he was worried about Emma, he knew that the Rosewood family would have a lot of domestic matters

to handle once they got back, As an outsider, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to be there.

Moreover, with the previous engagement issue, both families were already in an awkward position. If he were to

follow them to the Rosewood residence, the Davis family’s dignity would be at stake.

Seeing Robert leave, Scott said nothing and got into the driver's seat. Bella and Emma got into the back seat of

the car. No one spoke a word during the ride, the atmosphere was oppressively heavy.

Emma, her eyes still red, leaned against Bella, her eyes filled with hatred for Elysia. She thought, No wonder

Elysia agreed so readily; it turns out she has planned everything from the start.

Tam such a foolish fallint into the trap she set. | was blinded by joy and failed to notice anything amiss.

Bella looked at Emma in her arms, hesitated for a while, and finally asked, “Emma, did you.

Seeing Bella's hesitant expression, Emma steeled herself, Then she said, “Mom, ask whatever you want. | can

handle it.”

Bella said, “Emma. | don’t mean anything by it. | just want to know if you really have this kind of special

preference?”

Hearing this, Emma quickly sat up from Bella’s embrace. She said, “Not Mom, you have to believe me. It's not

me. It’s Elysia. Elysia is the one trying

to frme”

Seeing Emma's intense reaction, Bella could only gently pat her back in comfort and said, | believe you,

sweetheart.”
