Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall by Colby Stanford
Chapter 138

Chapter 138

Fred’s face instantly contorted.

Now that things had come to this, he couldn’t hide it even if he wanted to.

Fred secretly took out the trump card that he had been hiding behind his back…

“Now that you know everything, die with that old man!”

Emma could feel the intense murderous intent rushing toward her, exactly the same as that night in the cabin!

She instinctively dodged.

But at this moment, Fred’s door was kicked open!

Outside the door were all the priests of St. Grace Church!

“Fred, I didn’t expect it to be you! You’re the one who poisoned Master!”

It turned out that Emma had already arranged everything.

She was here today to test him and also to expose him.

Her conversation with Fred was clearly heard by the other priests in church!

“Fred, why did you do this? Master has always treated you well!”

“No wonder you wanted to fall from the Scripture Repository. It turns out that you have a guilty conscience!”

“Disgusting and despicable jerk. Bah!”

Fred was usually very prestigious in St. Grace Church.

To say that he was half abbot was not too far off.

Now that he was humiliated in public like this, his expression was very unpleasant.

Moreover, he could not do anything to Emma in front of so many people.

He looked at Emma fiercely. “Emma, you win!”

“Ha, no matter how ruthless I am, I’m not as ruthless as you. It’s hard to replace anyone more heartless than you to

use chronic mercury poisoning to deal with your savior!”

Otis joined the church a few years ago. Because of his prestige, he quickly became abbot.

Chapter 138

Coincidentally, Fred was an orphan when he was young.

Many years ago, Otis, who had yet to become an abbot, picked up Fred by the roadside and sent it to St. Grace Church. Otherwise, Fred would have died long ago.

Therefore, it was not wrong to say that Otis was Fred’s savior.

Unexpectedly, Otis’s life–saving act back then became the poison in Fred’s heart.

“I didn’t ask him to save me!

“If he hadn’t sent me to this lousy church back then, I wouldn’t have been a priest for the rest of my life!”

“Fred, you’re still unrepentant!”

Fred’s words angered everyone.

“If it weren’t for Master, you wouldn’t have lived for so long!”

“That’s right. Master has nurtured you a lot over the years. Since you’re already dissatisfied with being a priest, why don’t you just leave?”

Fred faced the condemnation of all his junior brothers. He had grown up in St. Grace Church and had never interacted with the outside world.

Without the support of his junior brothers, he would be ostracized.

Before long, he would also be arrested by the police for murder.

Fred was overly smart. People’s desires were never satisfied, just like a snake attempting to swallow an elephant.

That was why he was sent to jail as soon as he left church.

Emma did not stay any longer.

After that, it was time for St. Grace Church to deal with their own affairs.

After replaceing the murderer, she quickly detoxified Otis.

After preparing the next prescription, she handed it to a few reliable priests and went down the mountain with

Liam.

At the foot of the mountain, three top–notch black Mercedes had been waiting for her for a long time.

Liam’s Rolls–Royce drove out of the intersection and stopped.

The driver of Mercedes got out and opened the door.

Simon was wearing a tuxedo and holding a walking stick. He looked hale and hearty.

“Thank you for your hard work this time.”

Not only did Emma treat the illness, but she also found the mastermind behind Otis’s poisoning.

Simon took out a bank card.

“This is 2 million dollars. It’s your reward for treating Otis.”

“In addition, I’ll get Liam to give you an additional 5% of the shares of Holy Mountain!”

“Then thank you, Mr. Simon.”

Emma received it without hesitation.

Simon was indeed generous. He promised a reward of 1 million dollars, but not only did he double it, he also

added a five percent share!

That was not a small sum.

More importantly, he was undoubtedly acknowledging Emma’s status in the Hall family!

Emma took the bank card that Simon gave her and looked at Liam.

Her beautiful oval face was filled with pride and joy.

That day, she said something else at TASTY&SWEETIE.

“Your father asked me to go. It’s not like I can’t go..

“At most, I’ll rip him off again.

“Earning money is a small matter. I just want to use my own ability to make your father accept me from the bottom of his heart. I want to become the one and only Mrs. Hall!”

Undoubtedly, she did it.

That night, the Hall Villa was brightly lit.

Simon specially arranged a celebratory feast to thank Emma.

While it was called a thank–you banquet, there were also some other prominent figures from Troln City in attendance.

Emma understood that Simon was officially admitting her existence.

He intended to publicly announce the choice of the future Mrs. Hall to all his business partners, socialites, and

heirs!

It was not easy for Emma and Liam to wait until this moment.

That night, they were wearing matching gowns.

Liam was wearing a black suit and a light blue satin tie on his white shirt.

The color of this tie reflected the sky–blue silk dress that Emma was wearing today!

Her curves were outlined beautifully under the cut of dress.

Emma’s face was covered in exquisite light makeup. It was almost negligible.

However, it made her facial features even more beautiful.

As the guests arrived, some of them had seen Emma before.

But today, Simon had arranged this party. All the guests instantly understood his intentions.

Simon was announcing Emma’s identity in public!

In particular, some women went forward to befriend Emma.

“Congratulations, Miss Emma.”

“That’s right. Mr. Hall is at the peak of his career now. You’re going to enjoy life in the future!”

“I heard that you participated in Mr. Quinn’s summer camp not long ago. You were even evaluated as an outstanding camper with Mr. Ball! You’re so amazing!”

Emma responded with a faint smile.

It was impossible to keep a low profile since she was Liam’s woman.

Fortunately, she was already used to the feeling of standing at the center of the storm!

“Oh right, I heard that you saved Mr. Quinn last time! Mr. Quinn’s daughter is here today!”

When Emma heard Mona’s name, her interest immediately decreased.

While they were chatting, Mona stared at her and walked over.

She said with an unfriendly tone, “Aren’t you just the owner of the Holy Orchid Hero Emblem? Look at how smug

you are!”

Emma raised her eyebrows. In her impression, Mona was simply an idiot.

She said, “You’re too noisy, like a bug.”

“You!”

Mona almost fainted from anger.

“Humph! There are a lot of people here today. What’s so great about a low–level Holy Orchid? Just wait to be

exposed!”

After Mona finished speaking, Emma looked forward to it.

Could it be that someone had specially arranged for a “special show” for her today?
