Emma was spent files: Saljanovas refering to her and Vere

At that time, she wanted to leave a good impression on Vere to win him over later. Unexpectedly, Liam overthought it.

I am raised his eyebrows. “So, when you gave him your phone number, it was for my sake?” His mood became better. Ha never thought that Enna would think for him:

was for your sake, but not entirely,” Emma said. “He’s such a genius and I also want to have his help. But no matter what, we’re just a cooperative relationship; you really don’t need to be jealous because of him.”

After that, Emma rubbed the hair beside Liam’s ear: “Still angry?”

Liam’s lips curved into a slight smile. “Mmm.”

“What does Mmm’mean?” asked Emma

“Not angry anymore,” Liam said, then pulled her over. “The person who set up tomorrow; I won’t let you suffer this loss.”

Emma sighed deeply, hugging Liam’s shoulder. “It’s so good to have you by my side.”

Emma was on a call with Josiah in the room.

“Aren’t you afraid Liam will kill you for deceiving him?” Josiah’s voice came through the other end of the phone.

“What do you mean by deceive?” said Emma. “What I said is all fact, Vere needs a job after returning from Nuverland, and even if he doesn’t come back, Hall Group has industries abroad; it’s the best choice for him to cooperate with Hall Group.”

“Tsk, but you’re clearly winning him over for yourself” Josiah exposed Emma’s real purpose.

The veins on Emma’s forehead bulged as she changed the subject. “Liam’s people will replace out who’s been secretly watching me by tomorrow. Josiah, are you guys so used to living a peaceful life that you’ve become slower even than Levi?”

Josiah sounded aggrieved. “Liam’s people are not ordinary workers; they’re actually well–known figures in the black market.”

“More well–known than you?” asked Emma

Josiah pouted: “Yes,”

abilities to regress?”

Just then, an email popped up on Emma’s computer. She clicked it open.

kate had troubled her during the day, but she didn’t bother with her because Kate wasn’t worthy enough. However, since the Art Festival was coming, even if Emma didn’t actively provoke Kate, she could only wait to be completely defeated.

The arrival of the Art Festival instantly stirred up excitement at Vark College. Especially among the girls in the school, everyone prepared

enthusiastically to showcase their talents.

Emma’s class was assigned a task they were to participate in a lecture recital by the world–renowned piano master Darell.

In the auditorium, Emma’s class today was led by Kate, who wore a grand dress and high heels, with a specially styled appearance. She was

fully prepared.

Darell was the piano master she had admired since childhood. Previously, the Johnson family had tried hard to get Darell to become Kate’s plano teacher, but they could only manage to have him come over for a meal before he declined, saying he never took students. But that

didn’t affect Kate’s admiration for him.

Today, Kate would go to great lengths to catch Darell’s eye. Even if she couldn’t become his student, a few words of praise from him would be

good for her, Gaining favor with Darell would make her stand out in the entire socialite circle

Kate told the classmates, “When the event starts, stay where you are. Don’t move around and no noise. Don’t let me lose to other teachers, understood?”

Kate was only a few years older than these students and hardly commanded respect. But with the title of a teacher, no one objected to her.

She then looked at Emma. “Emma, especially you. I know this kind of occasion might be unfamiliar to you as you’re just a newcomer to the big city, but you need to adapt quickly. Don’t hold the class back and embarrass us.”

At that moment, Emma was casually sitting with her legs crossed, sipping soft drinks and tating chips. She was the most relaxed and carefree among everyone present, even a bit wild,

Seeing her like this, Kate was furious. “Emma, did you hear what I said?”

“I heard you. You told us not to talk and perform well so you can catch Darell’s attention and get his favor.”

Upon hearing Emma’s words, the students laughed.

Kate was so angry she wanted to throw a cup at her, but considering the situation at the time, she restrained herself.

“You just wait,” Kate said and
