Chapter 1700 Challenging Emery
“Come here then!” Since someone was protecting her, Rebecca challenged Emery shamelessly. “I’ll despise you if you don’t get here!”
Emery shut her eyes and took a deep breath. Then, she swung the chair above her head.
Clearly, I had underestimated her strength.
However, I was still rational. Even though Emery seemed to be strong, it did not mean that she could defeat five people on her own. Moreover, those men clearly weighed around two hundred pounds.
Therefore, when Emery rushed toward them with the chair, I quickly wrapped my arms around her waist from behind. As I used all my body strength to hold onto her, she could not take another step anymore.
“Scarlett! You’re hindering me! Hurry up and let go!” Emery put the chair on the floor. While she balanced herself on the chair with one arm, the other arm tried to remove my arms from her waist. Meanwhile, she yelled, “Rebecca Larson, come here and fight me if you dare! Stop hiding behind that man! I’ll fight you with only one hand!”
I secretly sighed. Emery is really pissed off.
In fact, if Emery had seen Rebecca’s disgusted look when I just got married to Ashton, she would not be so agitated now.
Perhaps, Emery had something else on her mind, and that became an excellent opportunity for her to vent her anger.
Yet, since everyone was an adult, we could not do things recklessly.
“Let it go, Emery. You’ll get yourself a lawsuit and cause trouble for the Moore family!” I refused to let her go.
After struggling for some time, Emery was finally exhausted. She sighed helplessly as she slowly calmed down.
“Don’t worry,” Emery said wearily.
“I won’t let go unless you promise not to do it!”
Emery replied impatiently, “I promise. All right?”
Then, I let go of my grip hesitantly.
Emery kept her word. After I released her, she tidied her clothes. She did not even bother looking at Rebecca. “I’m doing this out of respect for you.”
Emery always did things as she pleased. Hearing her words, I knew that she valued me.
Although I could not genuinely smile, I tried to lift the corners of my lips. “I know that, Superwoman Moore!”
However, Rebecca did not restrain herself after I’d saved her from chaos. She tried to stir up trouble again. “Why? Are you scared now? I thought the Moore family was the most powerful family in K City? You’re the only daughter in the family, but you don’t even dare to teach me a lesson? Is it because your family doesn’t dote on you like a princess? That’s why you can only endure all the unpleasant treatment out here in silence. Oh! I suddenly recalled something. Emery, you’re nothing but an illegitimate daughter. Your parents don’t even love you. You’re not much nobler than me!”
Emery instantly became expressionless. As her gaze turned cold, it was apparent that hatred was brewing from within her.
What was the difference between disliking and hating a person?
If one were to dislike a person, one could avoid dealing with the person. They could also badmouth that person to vent one’s anger. No matter how bad the situation was, one could even beat the person up, but one would never take matters to heart. However, if one hated a person, Rebecca’s situation would be the best example.
Until now, I knew that she still wanted to tear me apart.
Rebecca was indeed quite dim. Her intentions were clear because she would do everything in a high-profile manner and rashly.
Yet, Emery was different. She became famous among the upper class on her own.
If Rebecca offended Emery, she would have to face some tough times ahead.
As Rebecca chuckled arrogantly, her expression became distorted. “No matter how almighty you pretend to be, you’re just a country bumpkin who can’t keep a man. I’ve died once. I’ve experienced everything in this world. Who are you to teach me a lesson?”
Her words became more and more unpleasant to hear, and Emery was deeply hurt. I could not tolerate it anymore. As I glared at Rebecca, I yelled at her, “Shut up!”
