Second Chances

Chapter 85 

When Vere and Emma heard this, they were furious. 

Vere rebutted, “Who are you calling scum? What’s wrong with our country? Aren’t you here now? Don’t come back if you like being abroad. Don’t embarrass yourself.” 

Vere’s retort made Tess Curry mad. “Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that? You two, deal with him.” 

When Tess finished speaking, the two burly men from Prusialand behind her stepped forward. 

However, before they could touch Vere, they were blocked by Emma. The burly men wanted to use force against Emma but Emma retaliated expressionlessly in just a second. 

After exchanging blows with Emma, the black–clothed bodyguards, who were fierce just now, revealed a shocked expression. They did not continue to attack Emma. They stopped and whispered 

something into Tess’s ear. 

Tess flew into a rage. “Useless 

trash.” The men in black had said they were no match for Emma, which greatly embarrassed her. She was not as confident as before. She snorted and said to Emma and Vere, “It’s my luck to have met you guys today.” 

Emma said calmly, “You bumped your suitcase against me first. How could you say I’m blind? This is Rhinea. You have to be responsible for your words and actions. For a traitor like you, even if I don’t do anything, the criticisms of 1.3 billion people can kill you. If you’re not patriotic, don’t come back and waste the resources in the country.” Then she turned to Vere. “Let’s go.” 

With that, Emma ignored Tess and sent Vere through security. 

After Vere passed the security, Emma walked out of the airport.. 

Emma waited for Liam’s car on the departure level to pick her up but heard a coquettish voice not far away. “I heard your legs had recovered a few days ago, so I rushed back on the earliest plane. I’m exhausted from flying for more than ten hours. You have to pick me up.” 

Emma looked and realized it was the woman in the pink hat. 

Tess also noticed Emma and said, “What are you looking at, country bumpkin?” 

Emma was dressed casually today. She wore low–key top sports brands. 

Tess thought that Emma was just a country bumpkin who couldn’t afford to wear branded clothes. Her tone and eyes were filled with undisguised disdain. “Alright, Liam. It’s fine if you don’t come to 

1/4 

pick me up. But don’t even think about fleeing from a date with now again” she gigglert 

Emma ancoral insanlly She did not expect this want to be than’s suit there prolly men all kinds 

After hanging op, Jose’s rejonsston was ugly. Tham bad nger but be again just now She year in a bout mood and wantoul to vent her anger on Emma 

Tess left her suitcase where it was so the bodyguards could watcover it Saccarreal her bag, Book out a stack of 100 dollars, and throw it to Emma. “Hey, country bumpin, you’re in my gave you money, Get out of my sight now” 

Emma did not even look at Tess She just stood there, 

Jess went on, “Can’t you hear me? Or do you think it’s too littler You’re an eyesore, this airport was sponsored by my great grandfather back then, You” 

Before less could finish, she saw the license plate number of the Imperial Vests. It was him. “Liam” Tess’s expression immediately changed. She thought, Tam is here. He must be here to pick me up! Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

However, when Tess went up to Liam, he got out of the car and walked past her to the woman behind 

“Is it hot?” Liam asked. 

“It’s not that bad,” Emma said to Liam, then looked at the woman behind him. 

Only then did Liam notice less and the stack of cash in her hand. Liam frowned “tess, what do you want to do to my witer” 

“… What did you say?” tess thought she had misheard Liam when he said he had a wife, that was impossible. Liam had never been close to women. He couldn’t suddenly have a girlfriend. 

Tess seemed unable to withstand such a huge blow and stood rooted to the ground. She watched as Liam and Emma held hands. Liam even held the car door and adjusted Emma’s seat. He was meticulous. Tess thought, ‘When Liam said he didn’t have time to pick me up, it was an excuse” 

The more Tess looked at them, the more jealous she became, she shouted, “Liam, send me home 

Bang. The only response Tess got was the sound of the car door slamming shut. The black Maybach sped away. 

Tess watched as the car vanished. “Damn it.” Tess was so angry that her face contorted. She thought, 

How can that country bumpkin be Liam’s girlfriend? What is her background? How can the beat me 

to it?” 

After getting into the car, Emma asked calmly, “Who is that weird woman just now?” 

“Leo Curry’s daughter, Tess,” Liam said. 

When Emma heard this, she mocked coldly, “The Curry family has a prestigious history, Leo is also a popular painter. Yet the daughter he raised is so unpresentable.” 

Liam also smiled. “Tess is indeed annoying, After she heard my legs had recovered, she kept pestering 

me.” 

Emma leaned on Liam’s shoulder and looked at him. “Then, will you pay attention to her?” 

“I don’t like unruly women,” Liam said. 

Emma pursed her lips. “I’m also quite unruly. You don’t like me either, right?” 

Liam pinched Emma’s nose gently. “You’re unruly and cute.” 

After Emma returned home, she received a message on her phone before Vere’s flight took off. She sat in front of the computer and began to fill out personal information. 

At the end of the summer vacation, Vark College asked all students to participate in a two–week social practice. Emma was going to a five–star hotel that had worked with Vark College for many years. After filling out the form and uploading it online, she went to bed. 

That night, Liam pestered Emma the whole night. It was so intense that she was drained. 

The next day, when Emma went to the hotel to report, she was almost late. 

“This is the front lobby. Here is the catering department. And this is the kitchen.” The person from the Human Resources Department, who was in charge of receiving Emma, finished the introduction and looked at Emma. “You have a good image and temperament. Why don’t you stay in the front lobby or the catering department?” 

Emma thought about it and decided to stay in the catering department. She would be a waitress in charge of pouring wine and serving the food in each private room. She wouldn’t have much contact with people and wouldn’t show her face too much. She wouldn’t encounter strange things in the

hotel either. 

Vark College was an aristocratic school. Usually, it would deliberately nurture students‘ ability to work at the grassroots level. 

However, what was different from ordinary schools was that Vark College students could work in the world’s top super luxury hotels before graduating. The people they interacted with were all world- class top big shots. This also matched the class of the Vark College students. 

“Emma, there are a few important clients in Room 868. We don’t have enough people. Go and help them,” Emma’s supervisor said. 

“Okay.” Emma encountered a huge fanfare on the first day of the internship. However, it was common for her to work in such a place and interact with big shots, so she was not surprised. 

Emma was pushing a wine cart toward Room 868 when she heard a familiar voice coming from the private room. 

“Hey, Tess, come and sit. It’s been a long time since we last met. You’ve become prettier. Many people are wooing you overseas, right?” The person who spoke was Simon. 

Emma raised her eyebrows. Through the opening of the door, she could see more than ten people at a 

table. 

Simon sat on the head of the table. There were other business and political big–shots of the same age 

as him. The host was a young woman–Tess. 

Tess said sweetly to Simon, “Simon, you dote on me the most, unlike some people-” As she spoke, she saw Emma pushing a food cart in. She stood up. “Why are you here?”
