Second Chances

The next day, Emma and Liam went to the Hall family’s press conference. 

Of course, Simon’s original intention for organizing this press conference was not to announce the relationship between Emma and Liam, but to announce the Hall family’s new project. 

However, Emma’s appearance would soon overshadow the original theme of the press conference. 

The speculations of the crowd were confirmed one after another 

“She and Liam are in that kind of romantic relationship,’ everyone thought. 

Simon and Brad were both present today. A few people were preparing backstage. Emma was the only woman. She was in a 

separate room. 

“Miss Wilson, you have to be careful today,” Josiah said over the phone. “That silly younger brother of Liam’s will definitely cause you trouble again.” 

At this moment, Emma was preparing backstage. She nonchalantly faced the mirror and gently traced the line of her lips with a luxurious lipstick that had a gold exterior. 

The rich red lipstick with blue undertones instantly accentuated her presence. 

Coupled with a high–end dark green silk dress, her curves were perfect. Her figure was slender and tall. Every move she made exuded a sense of elegance. 

“You already said he’s silly,” she said. “What can he do to me?” 

With that said, Emma calmly closed the lipstick cap. 

“In a 

any case, I can’t shake off the feeling that nothing good will happen when they call you,” Josiah said. “Perhaps I’m being paranoid. Miss Wilson, I wish you have a good time… Oh, by the way… Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Josiah was about to hang up when he suddenly remembered Emma’s instructions yesterday. 

“Noah said he’s done what you asked him to do,” he said. 

“So soon?” Emma said, feeling somewhat surprised. 

“Miss Wilson, don’t forget that before he stopped working for you, he was also someone who commanded respect and influence, Josiah said. “Anyway, there’s news from Yenovia. The report against Erza has been retracted. The gold medal for this year’s championship has already been awarded to him. Lennon is probably so darn mad right now. You’d better be more careful these days.” 

“Got it,” Emma said. “You’re so long–winded.” 

She hung up the phone with a smile and brushed the French bangs on both sides of her face. 

There were many makeup artists backstage today. 

Liam didn’t need makeup. He looked like a perfect sculpture. 

And Emma’s face was so beautiful that many stylists were vying to do her makeup. 

But once they actually started working on her face, they felt that no matter how lightweight the foundation was, it was redundant on her soft skin.

In the end, the makeupartists simply touched up her eyebrows, eyelashes, and lips. 

The woman in the mirror was already stunningly beautiful beyond compare. 

Emma pushed open the hotel door. There were already many porters outside. 

The moment Liam and Emma appeared arm in arm, countless reporters immediately started taking photos with their camera flashes. 

The two of them instantly became the center of attention. 

Their appearance caused quite a stir on the scene. Then, Brad and Simon walked out together. 

Simon’s expression remained the same. 

Only Brad’s originally handsome face looked increasingly gloomy and contorted now, 

As the younger son, he had been overshadowed recently, clearly showing an unfriendly expression. 

Prior to the start of the press conference, Simon gave Emma a document before going onstage. 

“This is the introduction to our new project,” he said. “The main business is high–tech manufacturing. Hurry up and take a look later. Don’t go on stage and be completely clueless.” 

In Simon’s perception, Emma was a girl, and the recent limelight was all related to sports. 

He naturally assumed that Emma knew nothing about these high–tech things. 

When he handed the document to Emma, there was a look of disdain in his eyes. 

Emma noticed the disdain, but she did not say anything. 

She merely raised her eyebrows, took the document, and sat in the interview seat. 

Sure enough, other than the new project, everyone was more concerned about Liam’s love life. 

One after another, the reporters asked about her relationship with Liam. 

Simon wanted to answer more tactfully. 

In the end, Liam said directly without hesitation, “Emma is the future Mrs. Hall And she’s the one and only Mrs. Hall” 

As soon as he answered, the reporters were in an uproar. 

At this moment, a reporter asked, “Miss Wilson is indeed talented in sports. However, the Hall family has never dabbled in the sports industry. This press conference focuses on the latest Al technology. Miss Wilson, do you have the corresponding knowledge about the Halls Group’s Al technology?” 

After the reporter finished asking the question, she vaguely exchanged a glance with Brad, who was sitting beside Simon. 

This reporter was indeed sent by Brad to make things difficult for Emma. 

Now that Emma’s fame and abilities were increasing, if Liam still had her help, it would undoubtedly make him more formidable. 

By then, Brad would not be able to turn things around. 

So, Brad had been constantly thinking of ways to make Simon reject Emma, ideally to prevent Liam from being with her. 

At this moment, Levi, who was standing behind Liam, felt his hirt pounding. 

He thought. “This is the first time Mr. Simon has invited Miss Wilson to a press conference. The reporter starts with such a tricky question. If she can’t answer, Mr. Simon will surely be mad 

Levi quickly took out his phone and typed, wanting to help Emma by typing the answer. 

But on the other side. Emma was just casually tidying her hair. 

“Your question is quite broad,” she said. “Which aspect of Al do you want to hear my opinion?” 

She asked calmly, but in Simon’s eyes, she was deliberately stalling for time. 

Simon was somewhat displeased. After all, in his eyes, Emma was just an ignorant young girl who did not know the way of 

the world. 

What unique insights could she possibly have about Al?‘ he thought, 

He stared sharply at Emma. 

In his line of sight, the material he had given her was placed in front of her. She had not even flipped through it. 

Simon was even angrier when he saw the document that had not been flipped through. 

He thought. She didn’t even look at the document I gave her! Emma is making the entire Hall family lose face! 

Simon took the microphone and was about to say something. 

Brad suddenly said, “Mr. Carter, what are you doing with your phone? Could it be that you doubt our world champion’s ability to even answer such a question?” 

Levi’s face instantly darkened. 

He quickly put the phone with the half–typed message behind him. 

Emma turned around. It was only then that she saw that Levi, who was behind her, wanted to type something to help her.

She smiled at Levi and then picked up the microphone again, addressing the group of reporters. “Although I’m not involved, in the Halls Group’s projects, I’ve learned about the general situation,” she said. “The Halls Group’s Al projects span across culture and tourism, scientific research, and high–end manufacturing. These projects require high investment in the early stages, but they are the general trends. Spending is necessary. Of course, the results are also fruitful” 

Simon was slightly surprised. 

He did not expect Emma to be so clear about the Halls Group’s strategic plan even though she had not read the proposal that he had compiled. 

Actually, Emma did not deliberately learn about it. It was just that Liam had mentioned it over the phone sometimes, so she roughly knew about it. 

Emma’s proficiency made Simon change his opinion of her. 

But at this moment, the reporter continued to ask persistently. 

“Miss Wilson, do you know how to code then?” she asked. 

Emma was a little impatient as she said, “I have an Al design patent 

The reporter said, “But you went to a military academy before completing all the subjects at Vark College. You didn’t finish
