Chapter 75: Emma Fought Back
Everyone was dumbfounded the moment when Shirley slapped Amelia in the face. Amelia stared at
her in disbelief.
Amelia was the first to apprentice, and she was the master’s favourite pupil. Back then, when Kevin
brought Shirley to Arthur, she was still a cowardly rookie, but now she dared to bully Amelia.
“Shirley, how dare you hit me.” Amelia roared in anger.
She then took a big step forward, raising her hand, and was about to hit Shirley. Just then, a black car
came from the driveway, flashing its lights at Amelia several times.
Both Amelia and Shirley looked in the direction of the lights. They saw about four men getting out of the
car.
The one who came out from the driver’s seat seemed to be in his late twenties, wearing a black suit,
with slicked-back hair, looking elegant and handsome. While a middle-aged man came out from the Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
passenger seat, wearing a navy blue Tang suit and a pair of glasses, looking friendly and vigorous. The
two men behind were not dressed in dignity but concise.
Amelia drew back her hand immediately when she saw somebody coming. Her eyes were red, heading
to the middle-aged man, “Master, you’re finally here.”
She talked in a coy way and full of grievances.
Mildred flipped out, wanting to walk over, but was stopped by Shirley.
At this moment, Emma, who had been standing behind Shirley, suddenly ran towards the middle-aged
man, saying in a soft and sweet voice, “Uncle Stewart, Uncle Stewart… I want hugs…”
The person who arrived was the famous master in the perfume industry, Arthur Stewart. And the man
beside him was one of his favoured students, Kevin.
Arthur, who originally had a stern face, smiled when seeing Emma running towards him, and he bent
down to pick up the little one.
“Let me give you a hug.” Arthur picked up the little one, doting her.
But as Arthur picked Emma up, she cried out suddenly, “Uncle Stewart, I’m so scared. Somebody is
bullying my mommy, and scolding me, my brother, and Aunt Mildred a dog. She even pushed me.
Here, it hurts. Look.”
The moment Emma said this, Shirley and Mildred froze, and even Jacob didn’t expect his sister to
come up with this.
Although what she said was not false, the last few sentences were just spicing up the story. The
funniest thing was that Emma even pretended to lift her arm, showing it to Arthur.
Amelia knew Emma was complaining about her. Amelia was already feeling vexed, and now she
couldn’t hold it anymore, shouting at the child, “Who pushed you? Shirley, is this how you teach your
children, turning things upside down?”
“Shut up.” Arthur bellowed, followed by Emma letting out a loud cry, “Boohoo, Aunt Amelia was being
that mean just now, boohoo.”
“I didn’t, it was them…” Amelia was indignant, pointing at Shirley and Mildred.
Kevin, who had not spoken, said with a powerful voice, “Amelia, after so many years, your temper
hasn’t changed at all.”
“Kevin, I didn’t, it was them…”
“No matter whose fault it is, we are all in the same sect, and you were even apprenticed several years
before Shirley, can’t you just give in to her? Just how old is Emma, and you yelled at her like that?”
Kevin said with a blank face.
Shirley looked at Kevin. Kevin always sided with Shirley, and he would reprimand Amelia first, every
time whether Shirley did wrong or not. He would suppress Amelia’s temper with the reason of the same
sect, and Amelia wouldn’t dare to do it again.
However, Amelia was really pissed off this time. She looked down at her clothes, pointing at the water
stains on them, and said, “This is the proof. Look at them. I’m the one who got embarrassed, okay?”
Kevin sighed, “I brought back a set of clothes from abroad that I wanted to give Shirley. Since your
dress is dirty now, you can change into it first.”
After saying that, he turned back and instructed his assistant, who immediately went back to the car
and took out a delicate packing box.
Amelia scanned it and noticed the brand on the box wasn’t cheap. This was the only gift that could
make her feel more comfortable after being pissed off.
Everybody thought Shirley was into Kevin, and Amelia was delighted to take away something from
Shirley’s beloved.
Amelia took the clothes, “Then for Kevin’s sake, I won’t bother with her anymore.”
She turned around, glancing smugly at Shirley and Mildred before entering Phoenix Restaurant to
change her clothes.
Mildred furiously raised her fist, but Shirley pressed her down.
Kevin pursed his lips, smiling at Shirley, “I’ll bring it to you the next time I come back.”
After saying that, Kevin looked down at Jacob, who had been standing by the side. He took a big step
towards him, raising his hands, and said, “Do you want a hug?”
Jacob nodded, raising his hands for Kevin to hug.
Shirley walked over and said, “Emma, Jacob, you have grown up, how can you simply want others to
carry you? Come down.”
Arthur chuckled, “Shirley, I haven’t seen them for a long time. It isn’t enough for just hugging one. But
unfortunately, I’m too old to carry them at the same time.”
Kevin carried Jacob to Arthur.
Jacob called out very politely, “Uncle Stewart, long time no see.”
“Eh, good boy. You’re all good kids.” Arthur reached out to stroke Jacob’s head.
Kevin reached out to Emma and said, “Can Daddy Mitchell hug you?”
“Sure.” Emma wiped away the tears in her eyes and lolled into Kevin’s arms.
Kevin carried a child in each arm, gazing them gently and doting them, with a smile on his face. He
then turned around and asked Shirley, “Let’s go in first. Had the two kids eaten before coming over?”
“Not yet.” Shirley answered.
“Then let’s get in and order a little snack. The feast isn’t starting that soon, as we have to wait for the
guests. Master has also invited a few wealthy businessmen from City L. Let’s get it and chat.”
“Alright.” Kevin walked ahead, while Shirley followed behind.
Mildred noticed that Kevin, Shirley, and the two kids were more like a family.
The group of people walked into Phoenix Restaurant, and at that moment, a black Rolls Royce turned
in from the main road. The man inside the car was staring at Shirley and the man in front of her,
icily…
