Second Chances

Chapter 157 

‘Marie is such an idiot!‘ Riley thought, “I told her not to use these tricks. She refused to listen. And it’s all messed up now. Whatever! This idiot asked for it.‘ 

Meanwhile, at Icovine Estate. 

When Emma was not around, Liam did not want to return to the empty bedroom. He often worked in the study until late at night. 

“Mr. Hall, this is the latest news about Daley,” said Levi. 

During this period of time, Liam had been looking for the number two assassin in that world, Daley! 

A few months ago, when he and Emma returned from Hall Villa to Icovine Estate, a top–notch killer sneaked in. 

Liam searched him for a long time and finally found a clue. 

“Where is he?” he asked. 

Levi frowned and said, “He was in Troln City previously, but the latest information shows that he has already gone 

overseas!” 

Liam secretly clenched his fists. Although Daley had given up on the assassination last time, he knew the layout of Icovine Estate very well. Liam would not let him off. 

“Continue searching. Find him even if he is overseas,” Liam ordered.. 

“Yes.” Levi firmly answered. “There’s something else. It’s about the Emma.” 

Liam’s expression immediately changed. “Emma?“, 

“She recently filed a complaint at Charon Military School but was rejected. Later on, Mr. Rivera helped out,” Levi 

answered. 

Liam asked, “Richard?” 

“Yes.” Levi nodded. 

Richard was Emma’s second uncle. 

With Richard’s help, Liam was less worried about Emma during her stay in Charon Military School. However, he couldn’t figure out why she’d want to study there. 

She told him she wanted to learn some skills. But Liam felt there must be some other reason. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Liam asked, “How did Emma do in school?” 

Levi told Liam what had happened to Emma recently except for her breaking into the school archives. 

Liam had not sent anyone to keep an eye on Emma, so Levi’s information was not comprehensive. And he couldn’t figure out what Emma intended to do. 

At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Yolanda had said to Emma alone before he entered the 

dilapidated building that day. 

Liam did not hear those words clearly. But he seemed to have heard a name “Justine“. 

He remembered that Emma’s face was very cold and pale. 

He did not ask, but he had a vague feeling that Emma had gone to Charon Military School because of that. 

Liam thought for a moment. “Send someone to keep an eye on Emma. If she needs any help, help her in time.” 

“Alright, Mr. Hall!” Levi answered. 

After Levi left, Liam got up and walked to the window to look at the thick night. 

‘Emma, what exactly are you investigating?‘ he wondered. 

Emma had a nightmare that night. In the dream, she fell off the wooden bridge on the day of the competition. 

However, it was not a sandpit, but a bottomless abyss! 

She was so shocked that she woke up. Just then, she received a message. 

Josiah: [Boss, I’ve sent you Rielle’s cousin’s information. Check it out.] 

Emma wiped the cold sweat off her forehead and looked at the time. It was not far from the gathering point. 

She got out of bed and ran onto the field to train; panting slightly as she ran. 

Despite being one of the top competitors this year, she didn’t relax because she wanted to represent the school in the Krot Competition at the end of the year. 

Emma gave herself extra training. Little did she know that all of this was seen by the group of people outside the field. 

Today, a high–ranking official was patrolling Charon Military School and spotted the girl running in the field before sunrise. “Who is she?” he asked.

The principal smiled and said, “This is our new student. Her name is Emma Wilson! She’s also Mr. Rivera’s niece!” 

“I see!” The big shot was very content with Emma. “She is very good, strong and powerful! You must train her well. Don’t waste her talent.” 

“Yes, yes…” the principal said. 

After a day of training, Emma returned to the dormitory. 

There was still water caltrop left. 

The girls chatted as they shared the water caltrop. 

Emma saw that Rielle’s cousin replied to the message she sent in the morning. [Hello, Emma. I did participate in the Kort Competition back then. I’m leaving Troln City tomorrow night. We can meet tomorrow during the day] 

After Emma received the news, she applied for a day off from school that night. The next day, she rushed straight to the place to meet Blanche. 

Emma also told Richard that she had found Blanche. 

Meanwhile, Liam also learned from Levi that Emma left school that day. 

Liam ordered, “Send more people. Make sure she is safe.” 

Liam was very meticulous. Although he did not know what Emma was investigating, for her to go through so much trouble, he felt that the person behind the scenes was not simple. 

Levi quickly deployed according to Liam’s instructions and secretly guarded Emma. 

Emma and Blanche met at a coffee shop. 

Blanche looked the same as she was described. She had small eyes and a mole at the corner of her eye. She was wearing a sky–blue top and was easy to recognize. 

“My cousin told me that you’re very impressive. You broke the record in your first monthly exam. Congratulations.” 

Blanche was above average in Charon Military School. It was a coincidence that she was able to take part in the Krot Competition on behalf of Charon Military School. She didn’t quite match the standard of the competition. 

Emma smiled, then took out a photo and pushed it towards Blanche. “Miss Smith. I wonder if you know this girl in the photo?”

Blanche looked at the photo on the table. 

The girl in the photo had naturally curly black hair. Her eyes were huge, and her eyelashes were long. Such a delicate appearance was rare in the military school!

Blanche had a deep impression of her. “Yes! I’ve seen her” 

Emma’s eyes lit up. “Really?” 

“Yes,” Blanche said bluntly. “She’s quite famous in our batch. What was her name? Justine? Anyway, she’s very beautiful and has naturally curly hair. Many instructors didn’t believe it was natural. But she’s good–looking and has good grades so no one minded about it.” 

Emma suppressed her excitement. “Were there any coaches or students that didn’t get along with her?” 

Blanche frowned. “I can’t remember, but the training at Charon Military School has always been very strict.” 

Emma asked again, “She participated in the Krot Competition with you back then. Do you remember?” 

Blanche thought about it carefully. “I… I’m not sure. I’m not in the same class as her. Many people were participating in the competition back then, so I don’t remember much.” 

Emma also had some understanding of this kind of World Competition. 

There were many events and the arena was very big. If one did not know someone, it would be difficult to notice. 

Just as she was about to ask something, she received a message from an unknown number. 

It was a threatening message: [If you don’t want Blanche to die, stop asking!]
