Desmond blocked her. “Mr. Fleming and Divine Doctor will be here in no time. You should stay and perhaps get
ready a pot of tea. Be thoughtful and make sure to serve all of their needs this time. If the Divine Doctor is upset,
there goes our only hope to heal Amelia's leg.”
Left without an option, Emma agreed.
Desmond led Madeline out of the villa and to his car.
He opened the trunk and ordered, “His gifts are placed in the trunk. Please go and get them.”
Madeline adhered to the instruction and dived into the trunk to get the items.
It was at that moment when Desmond whipped out a wrench out of the blue and smashed it into the back of her
head.
Madeline yelped in pain and fainted.
Immediately, Desmond chucked her inside the trunk.
That was the scene that had greeted Thomas, who coincidentally arrived home at the same time.
Feeling chills running down his spine, Thomas blanched in horror.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDesmond is so vicious. Not only did he betray his own niece, but he also harmed Madeline. It's best I stay away
from him in the future.
Without saying hello, Thomas strode toward his villa after parking the car.
Emma was so nervous when he saw Thomas walking into the house.
In a quavering voice, she addressed him, “You're back, Mr. Fleming.”
Hmm...
Narrowing his eyes, Thomas gave Emma a once-over and gulped.
Emma was curious. “Mr. Fleming, why isn't Divine Doctor with you? Didn't he tag along?”
“Oh, something came up, so he's delayed by half an hour or so. Let's be patient and wait for a while,” Thomas
blurted an excuse.
Emma was rather dubious about the whole situation.
Subsequently, Thomas locked the door after closing it.
Click. Emma's heartbeat raced rapidly. She could sense that something was off.
Thomas then broke the silence. “This is my treasured valerian leaves. Emma, did you brew this pot of tea?”
She nodded. “Yes, Mr. Fleming.”
“Brilliant! Please pour me a cup. I'm super thirsty,” he requested.
Okay.
Without thinking twice, Emma went forward to serve him a cup.
For a moment, the entire room fell into an awkward silence; only the sounds of Thomas sipping the tea could be
heard.
On and off, he would move his gaze between Emma's breasts and thighs. Seeing so, she became even warier of
him.
She looked out of the window and saw Desmond's car. However, there was no sight of Desmond and her mother.
Having ants in her pants, she decided to find out for herself but was unfortunately stopped by Thomas.
He raised his voice slightly and requested, “Emma, pour me another cup of tea.”
Sure.
She summoned up her courage and approached him.
While she was serving him tea, Thomas threw himself forward and grabbed her by the hand.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNo way! As expected, something is fishy!
She struggled to break free. “Please mind your manners, Mr. Fleming.”
“Hmph! I've treasured the valerian leaves for years and was reluctant to brew them. It cost me tens of thousands
per ounce. See what you've done, you brewed them all! I don't care, you'd better pay up! I know that you don't
have any money, so you can repay me with your body.” Thomas let out a sinister smile.
Panic-stricken, Emma struggled even harder. “Mr. Fleming, I'll return the money to you. Please let me go or I'll call
for help.”
Thomas refuted, “Call for help? There are only my people in this area. You'd be lucky to find one soul to come
over.”
Emma's face turned ashen instantly. “So, this is all a trap? It's not true that the Divine Doctor wanted to cure my
daughter's illness, is it? You used that to lure me here.”
“That's not entirely the case,” Thomas hinted. “If you serve me well tonight, I might actually contact the Divine
Doctor tomorrow.”
“You despicable rat!” Emma said through gritted teeth while channeling all her might to escape his vice-like grip.
