Chapter 523: Renewed Resolve

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Having already succeeded in her mission, Justine was naturally a lot more confident and bolder compared to before. Even though she knew that Kristie and Rhea would be arriving in the hall shortly, she didn't hesitate to make her move on the beauty in her arms.

Given that Dixie was gone to wake Crystal up, Justine knew that she had at least some time 'alone' with Emilia unless Noelle arrived earlier than expected.

And with how the crimson-haired beauty had rewarded her for dealing with the past bullies of her 'maid', Justine was very optimistic about her chances of being able to 'score' this time.

Cupping the younger girl's gorgeous face in her hands, the ex-policelady tried her best to suppress her shivers of nervousness and excitement as she moved in to kiss the beauty on the lips.

"Mhmm!" As soon as their lips touched, the blue-haired girl couldn't help but groan in delight.

This was the taste she had been yearning for!

She worked so hard, made so many sacrifices, and spent countless sleepless nights planning and plotting against enemies who would get her killed with ease if they figured her scheme out, all for this moment!

Emilia's delicate and wonderfully soft lips still felt as novel and dewy as freshly fallen snow melting against her lips, and Justine couldn't help but shove her tongue into the girl's mouth in excitement.

Of course, unlike Justine, the crimson-haired girl was still well aware that there were already people watching them with their eyes almost bugging out of their sockets in surprise.

Emilia smiled while gently pushing the older girl away. "Hold on, let me talk to the two of them first, alright?"

Although she was reluctant to let go of the prize that had already entered her claws, so to speak, fortunately Justine still retained enough sanity to listen to the words of her 'boss'.

Of course, the fact that Emilia's whispered words left her hoping for more after the 'nuisances' were gone helped suppress any thoughts of forcing the younger girl quite a bit, along with the fact that she knew she was very likely to fail if she tried to do so anyway.

She might have succeeded in taking down the richest heir in the world, but Justine still knew that she couldn't suppress Emilia so easily.

Unlike Alexander, her princess was really quite good at defending herself, after all. And this time there would be no Dimitrescu family by her side helping her out, either.

Emilia grinned as she pulled the clearly reluctant blue-haired girl to the sofa before pushing her down. "Don't be so grumpy, alright?"

Facing the crimson-haired girl's icy-blue eyes that glinted like the most beautiful gems in the world, Justine couldn't help but subconsciously nod. "O-Okay."

Emilia patted the seemingly obedient girl's head with a pleased smile. "Good girl!"

Justine's previously rebellious thoughts immediately evaporated under the effects of the beauty's smile, and she even chided herself internally for being an idiot.

No matter how desperate she was for Emilia, how could she even bear to think of hurting her in any way? Even if the crimson-haired beauty wanted her to wait by her side for a lifetime, Justine felt that it should have been her honor to entertain her request.

'Even if I have to wait for a lifetime, I will never—!'

Unfortunately, the blue-haired girl's newly budding determination was immediately tested when Emilia decided that Justine's lap might be more comfortable than the sofa.

The blue-haired girl couldn't help but immediately wrap her arms around the gorgeous girl's slim waist. 'I-I have to hold her like this to make sure she doesn't fall off and get hurt. T-That's right!'

Fortunately, Emilia didn't really seem to be bothered, even covered Justine's palms with her own as she turned to the dumbfounded duo of 'ex-girlfriends' in front of her. "Justine hasn't spent much time with me for a while, so she needs a little more attention. Forgive me for ignoring you, will you?"

With their lives practically in the other party's hands, how could either Rhea or Kristie dare to disagree?

Seeing their frantic nods, Emilia couldn't help but giggle. "I can tell the two of you are nervous. But since I'm sure you have plenty of questions for me, why not take a seat and get started?"

Although her tone was friendly, both Kristie and Rhea immediately felt their hearts skip a beat, fearing that their inability to respond to her properly displeased the crimson-haired beauty.

Of course, Emilia also knew that no matter how she smiled, with her current status and appearance, it was indeed impossible for people like Rhea and Kristie to truly relax in front of her, so she just shook her head in amusement.

Fortunately, Rhea and Kristie regained their senses soon enough, and quickly plopped down obediently on the opposite sofa while ducking their heads in shame and fear.

Emilia sighed. "Alright, let's start with Kristie first, since you seem to be the more nervous one." Her expression turned serious. "As I've already let you know before, your relationship with Amos is in the past, and you don't need to worry about it for even a single moment in the future."

The crimson-haired girl leaned back into Justine's embrace to be more comfortable. "Once I take you to Blue Dawn, you can start your life fresh without worry. As long as I'm still here, Amos will never be able to get to you."

As for the girl's fear of herself, Emilia didn't feel the need to reassure her over and over again. 'Is Crystal still getting ready? I can't tell whether this girl is afraid I'll be jealous that she's the ex-girlfriend of my supposed ex-fiancé or worried that I'll silence her…'

The crimson-haired beauty soon shook her head in denial. 'Whatever, since Kristie believed in me enough to come to my side, I think she should be able to learn to trust me more on her own.'

Of course, if she knew that it was actually her gorgeous appearance that intimated the girl, along with the uncertainty as to why her 'interview footage' needed to be altered, Emilia would definitely be left just as dumbfounded as Kristie was right now.
