Chapter 131 - Cooperation

When Emily arrived at the Dalton Hotel, Christy had been in the private room for a long time. Different from when Emily saw her last time, she dressed down in a dark grey hat and a light grey coat. Besides, she tied a grey scarf around her neck.

Hearing the door open, Christy looked up. With an exquisite makeup, she looked extremely beautiful.

Emily closed the door and politely said, "Sorry that I'm late."

Christy cut to the chase, "How do you want this to happen?"

Emily said without hesitation, "Elsie will invest in you and you need to transfer the money to my account."

Christy thought of the rumors on the Internet and figured out what Emily was going to do, but....

Christy picked up the black tea in front of her and took a sip of it gracefully, "You can only have 30%. I will transfer the money to your account after you release Noah."

Emily suddenly said, "One more question. Who is behind you?"

Christy replied without hesitation, "No one."

"You'd better reconsider my offer. As for Noah, I can't let him go for the time being," Emily stood up and said.

Christy said in a cold voice, "Elsie is on her way here. If you want our deal to go well, then let Noah go. Otherwise, you won't get anything in the end."

Emily said indifferently, "No, I got Noah."

"...."

Christy did not expect that Emily would be not easy to fool and all her methods didn't work. Emily was calm and steady, not like most of her peers.

"Emily," Christy frowned slightly and said, "This 30% is from me, because Elsie's money won't end up in our hands."

Emily asked again, "Who is behind you?"

"Let Noah go and I'll tell you." Only then did Christy realize that Emily didn't want money, nor wanted to put Elsie into trouble. She merely wanted to know the person behind her.

"OK."

As Christy expected, Emily agreed without hesitation.

This time, Christy was the hesitant one because she had never seen that person before.

"I have no idea who it is. I don't know if he's a man or a woman either," Christy pondered for a moment and told Emily all she knew, "I report to an assistant on the phone, and the assistant used voice changer. I haven't seen the assistant, let alone that person."

Emily had thought that she could get some useful information from Christy. However, to her surprise, Christy indeed didn't know anything.

As Emily looked disappointed, Christy considered for a while and continued, "If you want to know more about that person, you can ask Noah for help. He is well-connected, so he probably could help you."

"You are partners. Why haven't you tried to check that person out?" Emily asked.

Christy said, "No. It's Noah's idea. He is afraid that person would stop cooperating with us. We don't want to lose the good business."

That sounded reasonable.

Emily pondered for a moment before asking, "Will Elsie transfer her money to that person's business account?"

"Yes."

"Christy, you have to transfer the money to my account," As Emily spoke, she stared at Christy with determination, "I will ensure the safety of you and Noah."

Christy knew what she planned to do and asked, "Is that your trick?"

Emily didn't hide the truth from her and said, "Yes."

Christy looked at Emily with her pretty and cold eyes, "You shouldn't put us into danger. We still have things to do and we can't die."

Emily served herself a cup of hot tea and gently stroked the teacup to get warm, "Do you think you can stay away after destroying the Britts? You and Noah will become the scapegoats of that person and be responsible for the loss of the family. You will be put into prison. That person must have thought of it, and therefore you have never seen that person before."

She looked up at Christy and finally changed her expression, "Christy, I come to work with you because I want to save you and Noah."

...

After leaving the private room, Emily accidentally bumped into a waitress. The waitress apologized and then hurriedly walked forward with a phone in her hand. She said on the phone, "Do you know what happened in the wine cellar? Our boss hid a man there...."

As soon as Emily heard the waitress mention the wine cellar, she followed the waitress and listened to her words hard.

The waitress let out a sigh and said, "I never thought that he is a gay. No wonder he has never thought of sleeping with us for so many years. Many woman wanted to have sex with him, but he rejected them and kicked them out of his room. It turns out that the boss doesn't like women at all. Everyone was shocked at the news. However, half an hour later, I see all men have their hairs sprayed.... What's wrong with them? Even if the boss goes insane, he won't sleep with them! They are ugly! I heard that the man in the wine cellar is handsome ... Hello, how may I help you?"

After speaking for a while, the waitress turned around and saw Emily. She hung up in horror and asked what Emily wanted in a respectful and friendly manner. She couldn't help but wonder whether or not Emily had heard her words.

Emily asked, "Where's your boss?"

The waitress didn't say anything.

With her shoulders hanging down, she pointed in one direction.

After Emily left, she continued to talk on the phone with a sad expression, "I made a mistake...."

When Emily arrived at the private room where Ferne was, she saw him looking in the mirror. He had bruises on the corners of the mouth and eyes. Besides, he had dark circles under his eyes. Obviously, it was a remarkable night last night.

Emily asked in surprise, "Did he run away?"

With a snort, Ferne said, "How is that possible?"

"Then what's wrong with your face?" Emily felt bitter when seeing the bruises on the corner of his mouth.

In fact, Ferne got injured because of having a fight with Noah for the quilt. And Noah was handcuffed and only had one free hand and foot. Ferne hid the truth from Emily and bandaged his wounds, "I accidentally had a fall last night and hit the corner of the table."

Emily remained silent.

She could tell at a glance that he got a punch in the face.

Ferne ignored her gaze and cleared his throat before saying, "Mrs. Scavo, what happened? Do you want to see Noah?"

"Yes."

"OK. Follow me."

Just as they walked out of the room, they saw Kamron. In an instant, Emily frowned. Ferne noticed her expression and asked, "Do you have a conflict with him?"

"No."

"Then why...?" Ferne wanted to ask her why she looked at Kamron in disgust.

Before he finished speaking, Emily said, "He is ugly."

Ferne was puzzled, "Is he ugly? Then how about me?"

Emily glanced at him and said, "You look much better than him."

Instantly, Ferne became happy. He even sent a message in the group chat, "Mrs. Scavo said I'm good-looking."

Because of what had happened before, Kamron learned the importance of protecting his testes and even bought insurance for them. His underwear could also protect him. However, he was afraid of getting hurt again and unconsciously walked in a strange way. He looked around and made sure there was no one suddenly appearing and giving him a kick.

Then, Kamron saw Emily.

She went out of the private room with Ferne. When seeing him, Emily frowned and quickly looked away from him, as if she didn't want to see him at all.

It seemed that Ferne was asking her something about him. Kamron took a few steps forward and heard Emily's merciless words.

"He is ugly."

Kamron was shocked and stood immobile for a long time with his hand on his chest.

He didn't regain his senses until his assistant came over and asked, "Mr. Kamron, are you alright?"

"Am I ugly?" Kamron asked hesitantly.

The assistant did a double take before saying, "You are handsome."

Kamron became increasingly desperate and shouted, "Nonsense! She said I'm ugly! I'm wondering why she hit me every time she saw me.... It's because I'm ugly! What the hell?"

The assistant didn't know how to reply.
