Emily Snow curled up, hiding in the corner, her body cold with water droplets "drip, drip" falling to the ground, soaking a patch.
A pair of anxious, helpless eyes looked through a narrow window at the dark night, exhaustion and pain devouring her desolate body.
Heather Stream, in a white off-shoulder evening dress, appeared in front of Emily Snow with a cold smile, "Sister Snow, Ill take you to a good place."
"Give me your phone, and Ill go with you after Im done." Emily Snows face was expressionless; she knew Heather wouldnt have any good intentions, but she could only take the opportunity to make a request.
Yesterday, Ethan Hunt suddenly threw her into the bathtub full of water, and her phone was damaged. Until now, she didnt know what happened to her mother.
"Youd better be honest, or Ethan will make you suffer," Heather didnt hesitate and took out her phone from her light-colored bag and handed it to Emily Snow.
Emily Snows mother said on the phone that she was only slightly scratched by a vehicle and was not seriously injured. She was hospitalized in the orthopedic department where her friend Yang Xiaotian worked and was asked to rest in the hospital for a few days, telling her not to worry. The stone in Emily Snows heart fell halfway.
About half an hour later, Heather Stream stopped the car at the entrance of the Houston Hotel.
Emily Snow walked calmly beside Heather, facing countless strange eyes, she tried to suppress her itching self-esteem.
Crowds whispered to each other.
"Look, isnt this the princess of the Southward Group? How dare she come?"
"Tsk, I heard that she killed their housemaid for Mr. Hunt and let her father take the blame and go to jail."
"Thats right! No wonder Mr. Hunt would rather have a maid than the real deal. Shes a venomous woman."
"I say, shes really thick-skinned, a murderer dares to appear in such a place."
"Dont say it, dont say it, shes the one who killed without blinking for Mr. Hunts bed, be careful she kills you and chops you into meat sauce."
...
The venue was large, and Emily Snow found the most inconspicuous corner, pretending to be strong, she gritted her teeth and listened to these small opinions, refusing to bow her head.
She knew she was innocent, and she would never succumb like this.
"Dear colleagues, quiet, quiet! I announce that the acquisition of the Southward Group by Hunt Enterprises officially begins!"
The hosts opening remarks made Emily Snow in the corner look pale with fear and heartache. The Southward Group was her parents lifelong effort. Her mother was injured and hospitalized yesterday for looking for herself, and today Ethan Hunt announced the acquisition of the Southward Group in a hurry. He hated her and would spare no effort to hurt her.
This was the expectation that Emily Snow had been waiting for again and again.
Taking advantage of the crowd surrounding the press conference platform, Emily Snow mustered up her courage and walked into the center of the venue, stepping on a white stool and standing steadily on the glass table.
Her eyes were locked on Ethan Hunts handsome face, her heart was pierced a thousand times, and she could only try her best.
"I am Emily Snow, the only heir to the Southward Group, I swear here that the death of Grace Heart has nothing to do with my father, please ask journalists and media friends to prove my fathers innocence."
Emily Snows words caused an uproar in the venue, and the crowd rushed to the center of the venue, in a moment, microphones, lights, and reporters surrounded her layer by layer.
Before Emily Snow had time to answer the various questions, she was rudely taken away from the venue by Ethan Hunt and directly dragged and thrown into the extended Lincoln car.
"Are you looking for death?" Ethan Hunt loosened his tie, his heart was disturbed by the woman in front of him.
"Looking for death? How does Mr. Hunt want me to die, just say it." Her face was pale, and the wound on her forehead had not healed yet, making her look fragile and beautiful.
She only hoped that the public opinion would be released, and the truth would come out.
"Emily Snow, it seems that William South has fattened your courage. Tonight, I will let you know what kind of price you can pay." Ethan Hunts eyes were deep and sinister, staring at Emily Snow, making her shiver.
