Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall by Colby Stanford
Chapter 101

Chapter 101

The Halls Group’s investment this time shocked the domestic and foreign investment circles. There was even financial media who evaluated the Halls Group’s investment this time as a rare peak phenomenon in the.

investment world.

Simon did not expect Liam to have such impressive results in such a short time. This time, it was even more hopeless for Brad to surpass him.

Simon immediately prepared a party to announce to the public that Liam had returned as the CEO of the Halls

Group.

When Emma returned to school, even her classmates were discussing this.

“I heard that the stock price of the Halls Group has soared this time. My parents are overjoyed,” one of the

classmates said.

“It’s the one where Dream World is going to be built, right?” another asked.

“Yes. I’ve always wanted to go there to play… But I heard from my uncle that Emma has also invested this time. She

should have become a super rich woman,” a third said.

“Super rich woman? How much did she earn? Could it be millions of dollars?” the previous voice questioned.

Millions of dollars? No way. Probably hundreds of millions of dollars,” the third person said.

“F**k. That’s wild.” The students in the classroom exploded. “Hundreds of millions of dollars? Why is Miss Wilson still in school? If it were me, I would f**g lie at home every day…”

The students were so envious that they were about to drool.

But at this moment, a girl said sarcastically, “Tsk. You’re so exaggerated. Hundreds of millions of dollars? Isn’t she just a country bumpkin who grew up in the country for more than ten years? Where did she get so much money? You’re all ignorant folks.”

Whitney Churchill had never liked Emma. Even after experiencing so many things in fencing and the City Games and the other students had gradually begun to accept, like, and even worship Emma, her thoughts had not changed.

Someone said unhappily, “Emma’s family is very rich. She’s Sean’s niece and her eldest uncle is a financier. Why can’t she be rich?”

“Tsk.” Whitney rolled her eyes. “It’s not as exaggerated as you say. Be careful not to flatter her too much. You just might get used to bowing over to her.”

“Whitney, what are you saying?” a classmate burst out.

“That’s right. How can you say that?” another demanded.

“You’re the only one who’s always pretending to be lofty. Can’t you bear to see us praise Emma? Is it so difficult to admit that others are outstanding?” one of them finally stated. “Everyone, ignore her. She’s just petty.”

Whitney’s face contorted when the person hit her sore spot. “You’re all a bunch of lackeys.”

“Who are you calling a lackey?” the others shouted.

The class was about to start arguing when Emma walked in. “Don’t argue anymore.”

When Emma arrived, the originally noisy crowd instantly quietened down. She pulled out a chair and sat down lazily. “Whether you have money or not, it doesn’t matter. Everyone’s experiences are different. There’s nothing to mock. However, those who are envious and bad-mouthed others in secret should simply shut up.”

Emma admitted that she was lucky. She had uncles who doted on her, and Liam, a rich businessman. However,

she got to where she was today because of her efforts.

No matter how much Whitney disliked Emma, she knew her abilities and quickly shut up.

The Hall family was holding an event tonight. Simon also invited Emma to the party. All the famous people in Troin

City would come.

After school, Emma went to the mall to choose a celebration gift to give to Liam during the party. She went straight to the mall after school, still wearing her school uniform.

The salesperson saw that she was a student and brought her to the low-priced area. “These are all classic designs.

that are more value for money. They’re also very suitable for giving gifts. You can take a look first.” When the

salesperson finished, she left to do other things.

At this moment, Emma heard someone beside her speak sarcastically, “Didn’t you just say that you earned over 200 million dollars? Why are you still looking at the cheapest basic designs?”

A second voice said, “Tsk. I told you she was bragging, but you didn’t believe me.”

The first voice said, “Come. Pack all these up for me.”

Whitney’s family background was quite good, and her grades had always been good. She was also good at writing articles. In her class, she had always been a “talented girl”. Then, Emma appeared.

“Wow. Whitney, you bought uch again,” the second girl remarked. “Your father treats you so well.”

Whitney looked at Emma arrogantly, enjoying the compliments of her false friends.

Emma sneered inwardly. Not wanting to lower herself to Whitney’s level, she turned and left.

Seeing that Emma was about to leave, Whitney became even more aggressive. “Since you’re already here, why don’t you buy something before leaving?”

“That’s right. These are all basic designs. They’re not expensive,” another girl added.

“Everyone, stop. She definitely can’t even afford the basics. She’s afraid of embarrassing herself and plans to escape,” a third girl remarked.

Laughter came in waves.

Emma did not retort and left the shop without looking back.

As Whitney was getting smug, an employee in a black uniform rushed over. “Miss Emma, it’s you, isn’t it?”

Emma looked at the person in front of her. He looked a little familiar. “You are…”

“I’m the manager of this mall. We met the last time you and Mr. Hall came to watch a movie. Remember?” the man reminded.

Emma remembered now. There was indeed such a person.

Not far away, when Whitney heard that the person was the mall manager, her expression immediately changed.

The manager was very respectful to Emma. “If you’re here to shop, just call in advance. I’ll personally show you

around, Miss Wilson. These salespeople are insensible and I’m afraid they will neglect you

Whitney was stunned. She thought, ‘What is happening? Why is Emma received by the mall manager?”

Whitney was extremely jealous when she saw her friends looking at Emma enviously. Not to be outdone, she stepped forward. “Hello, sir. My name is Whitney. My father is Winston Churchill.” After saying that, she deliberately turned her body to the side, revealing the rows of shopping bags behind her.

Whitney thought the mall manager would also flatter her and let her friends see that she was more glamorous

than Emma.

Unexpectedly, the manager only smiled awkwardly. “Hi.” His greeting was a world of difference from his respectful attitude toward Emma just now

Whitney’s face turned red. “My father is a shareholder of this mall. My mother is a big client. I bought all the things behind me.”

The manager’s lips twitched in embarrassment. He thought, ‘So what? Even if the Earth was bought by you, I still have to accompany this big client that Mr. Hall told me about.”

The manager said, “Miss Churchill, I’m sorry. I am busy. I can’t take up the valuable time of the important client. If you’ll excuse me.”

After saying that, the manager respectfully gestured for Emma to go before him. Without hesitation, he left with

Emma.

Whitney stood there, ignored. Her face stung from embarrassment. She snorted. “He’s just a mall manager. I’ll go back and tell my father to fire him.”

Whitney was still stubborn, but no one believed her anymore. They only thought she was crazy.
