Second Chances

Chapter 92 

Emma’s eyes sparked and said obediently, “I’ll make a lot of delicious food for you.” 

“That’s right. You’re only mine.” Liam seemed to have completely ignored the rest of her words. He lifted her and walked toward the bathroom. 

They had sex the whole night. 

Liam’s bold investment of 800 million dollars to buy the wasteland quickly alarmed Simon. This time, Simon met Liam and Emma together. 

When Emma reached the Hall family’s villa, she met Brad. 

Brad had just walked out of Simon’s room. He looked a little depressed during this time, but the ruthlessness in his eyes had grown. 

Seeing Liam and Emma, Brad smiled crookedly. “I heard that you invested 800 million dollars in Holy Mountain, Liam. That’s right, I heard it was your idea this time, Emma?” 

Emma looked at Brad without saying anything. 

Brad had a gloating expression. “Dad is furious. You guys better be mentally prepared when you go in later.” 

Liam said nonchalantly, “When is he not angry?” He prodded Brad’s sore spot innocently as Emma watched. “When you guys were hacked last time and the entire information department combined couldn’t compare to a delivery man, didn’t he also demote you from your position as the general manager of the branch company in anger?” 

As expected, Brad could not maintain his fake smile. “Liam, don’t celebrate too early. You’re definitely going to lose out on that piece of land on Holy Mountain.” 

With that, Brad left angrily. 

Emma and Liam looked at each other.

Emma seemed to be deep in thought. “Brad is so confident that you will lose money. That means that he has a plan.” 

Liam added, “Or he might have received some news.”

Chapter 92 

Emma wondered if the news of the Dream Group investing in Holy Mountain had changed after her rebirth. To be safe, she immediately called Vere. “Vere, you’re already in Nuverland, right?” 

“Yes.” Vere had already started school a few days ago. He was extremely excited to receive a call from Emma. 

“I have a new mission for you and Josiah,” Emma said. “Help me keep an eye on Nuverland’s Dream Group’s recent investments. Remember, be quick.” 

After giving instructions, Emma and Liam opened the door of Simon’s study and walked in together. 

Emma still remembered the last time she was “summoned” by Simon. The moment she opened the door, a cup was thrown at them. At that time, ‘she stood in front of Liam. This time, Liam could walk. He subconsciously protected Emma. 

After opening the door, Simon was not as angry as they had expected. “If you want to buy that piece. of land on Holy Mountain, just buy it. But I heard it was Emma’s idea, right?” 

Emma guessed that as the former head of the Halls Group, Simon’s foresight must be far better than those at the shareholders‘ meeting. He might be able to see the business opportunity in this wasteland, even if it was not obvious. 

Simon might not be angry that Liam had bought the land. However, he was furious because Liam had followed Emma’s advice. 

Emma said calmly and politely, “It was my idea.” 

Simon’s expression instantly darkened. “I don’t know about your marriage with Liam, but that was the shareholders‘ meeting of the Halls Group. Liam favors you but don’t you think you’re being insensible?” In other words, he was blaming Emma for going overboard. 

Emma said, “I’m just advising. I’m not qualified to vote.” 

“You’re a wife. You should deal with home while your husband deals with business. Is it your suggestion to make Liam risk 800 million dollars?” Simon asked. 

Liam could not stand Simon’s aggressiveness and said, “Emma did not merely suggest it. She invested 200 million dollars in her name. To be precise, she’s now the second–largest shareholder of Holy Mountain.” 

Sure enough, Simon’s expression changed slightly. He only knew Emma was Mateo’s daughter and the Rivera family’s niece. 

Mateo was not worth mentioning. Although the four sons of the Rivera family were powerful, Emma

was only their niece. Simon did not know that Emma was so important to them, nor did he know that Emma could invest 200 million dollars at such a young age. 

Emma said, “I know that 200 million dollars isn’t a big number to you, and I can’t convince you, Mr. Simon. Therefore, I’ve specially made a detailed acquisition proposal over the last few days.” 

Emma was already prepared for this. Even Liam did not expect it. 

Simon took Emma’s proposal and read a few pages. Once again, he was amazed by her. Her thoughts were clear and her logic distinct. She far surpassed her peers. She was even stronger than the senior employees of the Halls Group. 

Simon recalled that Emma’s biological mother, Stella, was a famous female investor in the country when she was alive. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have 2 million dollars to give to Emma. 

Although 2 million dollars seemed very little now, it was a huge sum of money when Stella was alive 20 years ago. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Simon pondered for two seconds and said to Liam, “In that case, I won’t interfere too much.” After saying that, he glanced at Liam. “Prepare for dinner with the Curry family tomorrow night.” 

When Emma heard the words “Curry family“, the anger in her heart surged. 

What made Emma even angrier was that Simon seemed to add purposefully, “It’s a family party tomorrow. Emma, you don’t have to go.” 

After returning to Icovine Estate, Emma finally could not take it anymore and confronted Liam. “What the hell does your dad mean? He knows that Tess likes you. We’re already married. You’ve already reminded him. Why did he still say those words in front of me?” 

Simon said it was a family party and Emma didn’t have to go. He meant they were family with Tess’s family but she was an outsider. 

Liam held Emma’s hand. “He’s trying to anger you because he’s dissatisfied with me choosing your plan so firmly.” 

“That’s a completely different matter.” Emma was furious. Moreover, she had helped them earn money. She was upset that Simon didn’t appreciate her kindness. If Simon weren’t Liam’s father, she would not have tolerated it. 

Liam said, “I’m not going tomorrow. I’ll take you to the movies, okay?”

Liam’s handsome face coupled with his magnetic voice made Emma’s heart soften. “You haven’t been to the movies with me. Can you accept a place like the cinema?” Emma was uncertain and asked Liam 

agam. 

“Why can’t I accept it? I’ll book the entire venue, turn it into a private cinema. Or we can be like an ordinary couple watching a movie. I’ll accompany you,” Liam replied. 

“Forget it.” Emma sighed. “Since it’s a family party, you should go. I want to see what tricks Tess can pull this time.” 

The next day was the weekend. The Hall family and the Curry family met at a private club for a meal. Emma was not there but told Josiah to secretly plan everything. As for herself, she was in the lobby on the first floor of the same club. She was eating while looking at the surveillance video Josiah had sent 

her.
