Ch. 21..25

Chapter 21 Liam and two bodyguards ran over and were panting. Master Jackson was too fast. To think that they receive regular training and couldn't catch up with Master, what a disgrace!

But, why is future missus in such a sorry state? What happened?

Hunter carried Emily in his arms and walked over to Manson. Emily was totally drained and she entirely slumped into Hunter. Her consciousness was gradually fading. But she could still barely see Manson panicking and Wendy’s trembling body. They were afraid, scared of this god-like man!

Manson looked on helplessly as Hunter walked to his front. He wanted to step back but his legs wouldn't budge. Hunter stands in front of him. Manson panicked and shouted: "The first rule of the Jackson family is not to fight among family members. Brother, I'm sure you remember!"

lf his voice was not trembling, nor his breathing so rapid, nor his face so pale, perhaps these words may be convincing.

Hunter clenched his fist and the knuckles started to crackle.

Mansons legs went wobbly and protested: "Brother, this bitch antagonized me and slapped me, do you expect that l dortt strike back?”

Hunter's knuckles continue to crack as he raises his fist.

In Mansons panic, he almost knelt and he begged: “Brother, grandmother is severely ill, I visit her every day, if she finds out that I'm hurt, she will definitely... !"

The first punch went into his stomach and instantly he bent forward in pain and broke out in cold sweat! He is still the second son of the Jackson family. How can he let outsiders see him begging Hunter?

Manson clenched his teeth and stared at him in anger but he didn't dare to speak.

This fist from Hunter was merciful, he knows itf lÍ it was not for grandmother s condition, Hunter's one punch would be enough to send him into hospital for half a month!

Today his men are not here and he knows fully well that he is not Hunter s match.

But this one punch, he'll return it in future with interests!

"Your woman?” Hunter s gaze was now on Wendy. Wendy s body started to tremble, a look from his killer eyes almost caused her to kneel.

This man is so cold! His stare would make anyone panic and not dare to look directly into his eyes.

"I... I'm not..."

Manson clenched his teeth and said: “So what? Look at my woman compared to your ugly fiancée!"

He won't concede to losing! Hunter is pardoning him for the sake of grandmother. Since he had pardoned, he wouldn't do anything else.

Manson clenched his fist and tried to brace himself to stand up but the pain was too excruciating! it was so painful that he couldn't stand upright.

'Okay.' This one word from Hunter was both scary and yet difficult to comprehend.

He carried the barely conscious Emily towards the car. As he turned around, he tossed a few words cruelly: "What my woman suffered, let his woman receive ten folds in return.'

"Yes!"

He left but Liam and the two bodyguards remained.

Manson was so angry that he almost vomited blood: “Hunter, you dare! You dare to do this to her | will definitely tell grandmother, l... you, let gol”

"No! Master Hunter, this has nothing to do with me! I'm not Mansons woman. Master Hunter, please forgive me”

Wendy was seized by Hunter s bodyguards and was trembling in fear, "No...'

'Liam, you dare! lf you touch one hair of hers, [Ïl kill yout

"Liam, stop it! Stop it! lÍ you continue to touch her, FÏÍ kilÍ you”

But Liam will not listen to his words. Just now Missus' blouse was ripped open. Master .Jackson said ten folds in return! Liam was unsure how to do this and might as well tear Wendy s dress into tiny pieces.

Wendy has never suffered such humiliation. Not only was she being beaten up, now her dress is being shredded except for underwear.

In the end, they just threw her to the ground, just as she was a piece of trash being thrown away. She coiled up in a fetal position on the ground and as her body continued to tremble.

Scary, these people are too scary! Why do they treat her like that? Why couldn't Manson protect her? Even as she suffered this, all the more she wanted to be the wife of Hunter! Because she saw clearly today that Manson is nothing in Hunter s presence!

Only Hunter, only Hunter is worthy to be with her.

Liam left with the few bodyguards and Manson rushed over to Wendy. He saw her in that sorry state and her face swollen like a pig's head. Her head was full of tears, blood and mucous.

He wanted to carry her up but felt that it was dirty. In the end, he shouted: "Mr. Galet"

Only then Charles came to his senses from the shock and seeing Wendy in that state, focused and shouted: “Quickly get a cover and call the doctor! Quick"

The family doctor rushed over and placed Wendy on the cover and brought her to the treatment room.

Manson felt that he had lost face today and was meaningless to stay around. He simply said, "II come and see you when you've recovered." And left.

Wendy was in a daze but in her heart, her obsession persists, she must replace Emily and become the Lady of the Jackson family.

There is no one in the world who can be compared with Hunter. Only a woman of Hunter can get whatever she wants and does what she wants in Bentson City.

She must be married to Hunter and become the most powerful woman in Bentson City!

Chapter 22 Emily doesn't know where she ¡is taken. In her daze, she was carried up a bed and thereafter someone was attending to her wounds.

'Apart from the gash on her forehead, there are no other injuries. The red spots on her body is rashes due to allergies this I will prescribe some medicine and they will subside very soon.'

"It's fortunate that the gash on the forehead is not big, with the best medicine, it wouldn't leave a scar.'

There was another person in the room who was talking but she couldn't identify the voice.

"Master Hunter, I already investigated, apparently yesterday morning it was Wendy who brought something for Missus to eat, thereafter Missus broke out in rashes.'

"Thereafter it was Charles who found out that Kate wanted to harm Missus and Charles sent Kate away in anger.'

"When Master Manson heard about it, he captured Missus to help Wendy vent her anger. Thereafter it was what we saw.

Emily could recognize Liam's voice. The other voice was the personal doctor of Master Hunter, Peter Yan. But in this room, there was another man who though he didn't speak, his stifling presence was felt by everyone.

Thereafter it became quiet because everyone left but the presence was still there.

There was a cold and intense gaze on her that kept staring at her, by her side protecting her.

it's a pity her eyelids were too heavy, Emily tried several times but couldn't open her eyes.

Either she was too tired or the medicine started to take effect, she finally lost consciousness.

A commeotion woke her and it felt that the room had a few more people. Someone respectfully greeted: 'Madam Jackson."

Madam Jackson?

'Grandma!" Emily suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.

Grandmail It's really grandma! Grandma is still alive. Grandma is not dead

"What's wrong with this girl? You haven't recovered, quick lay down!" She gave Madam .Jackson a fright.

Two servants came over immediately to ease Emily down. Emily stretched out her hands and grabbed Madam Jacksons dry wrinkled hands, her eyes became red immediately. She didn't shed a tear when she was hit and humiliated but now as soon as she saw Madam .Jackson she couldn't help but cry uncontrollably.

"Grandma...' her voice was rough, she didn't say anything else but kept crying!

Madam Jackson was not her grandmother but in her previous life, she was the kindest to her.

But she didn't live long and passed on due to illness a year after her engagement to Hunter.

A year together, Madam .Jacksons kindness and love made Emily feel truly loved as a kin.

Now that she was able to see her again, she was happy and excited and tears flowed continuously.

Hunter stared at the crying girl but remained expressionless throughout.

He didn't know when this girl and his grandmother had developed such a good relationship. Of course, he also didn't understand why his grandmother insisted that he and Emily get engaged.

Madam Jackson looked stunned at the tear-soaked face for a couple of seconds, felt so sorry for her: “Girl, who bullied you. Hunter, was it you?"

"Must be you." Madam Jackson took a pillow and threw it at him: "You scoundrel, she hasn't married into the family and you already disrespected her!"

Master Hunter didn't even have the chance to rebut and ate a face full of a pillow, he couldn't even dodge.

"“But.... Emily couldn't understand why would she be so concern over her happiness when they ve only met a few times."

"Don't ask anything and don't over think. Remember what Grandma said that Grandma truly wants you to be happy.

Madam .Jackson held tightly to her hands: "This house looks very peaceful on the surface, but in fact, the relationships are very complicated.'

Emily nods, she had experienced these during her previous life.

But when she lived in the Jackson family for several years, she spent all her effort in trying to please Hunter. She didn't fully understand the Jackson Family. She knows fully well how ruthless the Jacksons are.

"You don't have to worry †too much, iÍ you are good to Hunter, he will protect you, do you understand?”

Emily wanted to say that Hunter has a lot of issues to deal with and does not have the time to protect her. But her savior today, really was Master Hunter!

When did he become so free that he could go personally to the Gale family to pull her out of the hot soup?

"Grandma's health is not too good and I don't know how long l can protect you. .Just remember that if you and Hunter are doing well together, everything will be fine.'

Emily doesn't want her to worry. Having lived two lifetimes, she still doesn't know why Madam Jackson is so concerned over her.

"Grandma, l understand."

The servants came soon after and accompanied Madam back to her room to rest. Hunter was still in the study and didn't look like he will go to Emily. When she was the only one in the room, Emily got up and walked to the washroom. She looks at herself in the mirror. She didn† know what injection Dr. Yan gave her but the rashes are subsiding. Once all the red marks subside, she will have her original looks back.

But at this house, she will invite lots of enemies with her face. She doesn't want Hunter to see her real self now. What shall she do?

What was frightening is as she went out of the washroom, there was someone in the room waiting for her.

Chapter 23 Emily just came out of the bathroom and was startled by the man sitting at the chair.

Just a second ago she was just figuring out how to avoid this man and now he appeared right before her. She was scared senseless.

"Master Jackson.' She thought and decided to be direct, 'Im fine now, I would like to go home..

She was feeling much better after the injection, the medicine, and sleeping for half a day. Other than feeling a little sore on the forehead, there was no other discomfort.

"You're sure you want to go back to the Gale residence?” Surely, she can imagine what Manson may do to her after Manson was embarrassed there.

Emily hesitated but then nodded.

Although Manson was a dangerous person, to Emily, Hunter was even more dangerous.

Furthermore, the danger that Hunter presents, although it's not fatal, can be unbearably painful.

For her own survival, this life she needs to be as far away from him as possible.

"What's the reason that you are willing to risk dealing with Manson and his men than to be with me?” He suddenly stands up.

Once Hunter stood up, those who face him will have a feeling of being suppressed. Even when Emily was standing a distance away, she still felt the pressure.

"Master Jackson, let's talk... She stepped a few steps backward.

He continued to walk towards her, Emily's heartbeat started to race and pound. She hates herself for being weak, each time he approaches she will have difficulty breathing and cannot relax. But she can't help herself.

Hunter walked in front of her and Emily wanted to back away but he pulled her towards him.

"You... She was pulled to the table and just when she wanted to stand straight, she found Hunter right in front of her. lf she was to stand up straight, her body will press against him.

To avoid touching him, Emily can only move backward but at such a posture, she was being forced onto the table. The feeling was indescribablel

But the man before her has a chilly gaze. "Your room has a pot of red fungi.'

Emily s breathing quickens and her fingers were becoming numb in excitement.

Master .Jacksons power of observation was unrivaled! He went to her room once and noticed it.

The Jackson Group has a world-renown chain of clinics and Hunter was very well versed with medicine. During her previous life, she spent a lot of effort studying medicine in order to please Hunter. She didn't expect that she was rather good and has the potential for this field of study.

Her room does have a bonsai red fungi but it is bright in color and is very suitable to be cultivated as a bonsai. But regular people wouldn't know that the leaves are poisonous. When in direct contact, the skin will redden and break out in rashes like allergies.

"You poisoned yourself not only to frame Wendy, but your real motive was to delay the engagement?”

Hunter suddenly leaned over and in Emily's panic, she loses her balance and lay down on the table. Both of her hands pressed against his chest and objected: 'How could that be? Master Jackson was every woman's dream in Bentson City. Why wouldn't I want to be engaged to you? l can't wait to get married with youl"

“Then you better give me a good reason why you dorit want to be engaged to me? He squinted his eyes.

'l said, how could that be...

"Emily, do you think that you can fool me with your tricks?" He stared at her with a gaze that's laden with danger.

Emily bit down on her lips for a moment and nodded her head: "Yes, I don't want to be engaged to you."

She thought that he would ask for the reason but she didn't expect him to say: ˆYou have no say in this. Emily knew! She almost couldnt resist and rolled her eyes: “Then why did you ask me?'

In actual fact, he can't figure out why he felt restless and had to go to the Gale Residence for a look. Was that a coincidence or what. He didn't know and didn't want to think too much into it.

He originally hated this girl because she was a delinquent. But now she is different from what everyone says. Which is her true self?

The girl before him, being pressed down by his body, the worried look looks like a startled kitten.

Hunter's gaze fell on her collar. The .Jackson Residence didn't have her clothes and she was wearing his shirt. The shirt collar has two buttons. .Just now one of the buttons came off during the struggle. Now her neck was fully exposed, right before his gaze.

There were still some rashes on her face but those on her body had all but subsided. Now, her neck, collar bone, and chest still had some traces of those bites that he left. The wild and passionate love in the car came flashing before his eyes. Hunter's eyes darkened and his lust is coming over him.

Emily quickly sensed that something was happening as he stared at her. What does he want?

Why is his gaze so frightening? He looks like he's going to devour her at any moment.

Though this position was rather enticing, it also made her start to tremble out of fear, her legs became wobbly: "Master Jackson, you...

"You tremble under a man's body, are you inviting me?"

Hunter s voice was low, mysterious, and sexy as hell! She was in a dazel

This man was literally a walking aphrodisiac! His one touch will make you faint!

Emily closed her eyes and didn't want to look at him any further so that she can maintain her composure.

"I'm not, Master Jackson, please get off me.

Not only did he not back off, but he also pressed himself against her even more: "Who asked you to sit on me, begging for it?"

Chapter 24

Who was it who sat on him and...

Emily bit her lips and her face turned pale: "That's because l was being set up, I didn't mean to do it."

"It is not me, you will do the same?” Hunter demanded.

She wanted to nod but looking at his menacing looks, she quickly shakes her head.

lf she wants to die she can try saying ˆYes', he II definitely ravage her for insulting him.

Emily knows very clearly this man's dominance. What he wants he will definitely not let go.

In her previous life, she saw him being quick, precise, and ruthless but he never treats women that way, especially her.

But now, how come he was doing this to her2 Did she make a mistake?

Not possible, she spent five years trying to please him and didn't even earn a look of concern from him. Now it's just two days and he was interested? What a joke

"Master Jackson... She was beginning to feel uncomfortable under his weight and couldn't resist pushing him gently.

The two bodies in contact have let Emily feel warm and getting hotter.

Emily feels uneasy and her face began to flush. She looked down and quickly looked back. She didn't dare to look down again.

"You..."

God, was this the cold chilly man idol2 By pressing onto her, his body started to react... this was cold?

"Release me." She pushed. lf she doesnt get away now it will be too late.

"Don't movel" Hunter commanded and his forehead started to sweat and frown.

His bodily reaction was noticed by her and Hunter did not intend to hide. He was just slightly upset to lose control over her.

Twenty-seven years and this has never happened. That he was so affected by a woman!

"Master Jackson...' Emily doesn't dare to struggle, afraid that itl trigger his reaction.

But, if she doesn't resist, he lÌ continue.

"Master Jackson" Both her hands held tightly to her collar, but she was trapped.

She panicked and desperately demanded, 'Don't touch me! Unless you like mel"

Like her?

Someone who escapes from her engagement, someone willing to poison herself, someone who was willing to frame others and repeatedly reject him?

Why would he, Hunter, like such a sễcheming woman?

In an instance, his desires vanished. Emily sat on the table and looked at him. Hunter stood a distance away. Apart from the look of disappointment, he has recovered his breathing. He looked at her coldly in rejection. And her, with her shirt pulled aside. lf she hadn't grabbed onto her collar...

Still, he still lòoks like the high and mighty Master .Jackson but she was in a sorry state.

"Since Grandmother likes you, you will remain in the Jackson residence from now on. But...

Hunter s gaze deepens, his cold eyes send chills down her spine once again.

“Never use your schemes here and if I find out that you plot against Grandmother, | guarantee you will regret.'

Emily smacked her forehead and looked at him walk out of the room. She quickly jumped off the table and closed the door.

With the door behind her, Emily ¡is numb and her whole body went cold.

What high and mighty males idol? Humphl He was nothing but a wolf!

What was tragic was she actually believed Wendy in her previous life and thought that .Joe was arrested due to his

greed.

And for Terry, the one who always protected her but somehow he was set up and ended up accused as a felon.

Wendy was the so-called victim

Those were the past but Emily cannot help but feel responsible.

At that point, her breathing became labored and looked at the calendar. Two more days to go.

In two days Sally will try to save her and be kidnapped. That day she will be raped and shel jump into the sea and kill herself.

Sally... No! She must not let the tragedy repeat

'Sally, where are you? Who is beside you?" She called Sally and asked.

"Emily, I've finally found you. Come and save us!" Sally sounded very desperate.

“Terry is almost dead, and you are not even concerned, you don't even answer the phone, where did you go?”

"What happened to Terry?"

"He is almost dead... you..."

The phone was taken by another person, it was .Joe s voice: ”... Emily, Terry s injured.'

For the convenience of everyone, all cars in the Jackson residence garage have keys on them. Emily chose the lowest

profile car and drove out.

Her friends were hiding in a small garden. When Emily arrived, Sally was attending to Terry 's injuries.

"What happened?" Emily rushed over, 'Why did it turn out this way?”

Chapter 25

"It's Amy Winston that bitch, she kept speaking ill about you. Terry couldnt listen any further and...

"Im fine!" Terry interrupted Sally and looked at Emily: "You're injured?"

''Emily is injured?' Sally now looked at Emily.

But, she didn't notice the injury on her forehead but instead... “Ah, how come you didn't put on makeup? You... Wow... this is your original looks??”

A face full of freckles? Her goddess Emily has a face full of freckles2?Ah ah ah! All hope has vanished doe also stared at Emily's clean and elegant face, he was shocked and almost swallowed his gum.

"Emily, you... you..."

"What! Am I very ugly?" Emily looked at her friends.

Sally was just like her and likes outlandish and smokey dark makeup. Now her makeup was in a mess.

And Joe, his hair was dyed purple and he only has earrings on one side and only highlighted his eyes, one look and he looks like a delinquent teenage boy.

Terry can be considered the most normal among the four of them. He doesnt makeup, no earrings and he doesn't dye his hair.

But his personality is very volatile and can easily resort to violence.

Other than Emily he will not listen to anyone. That's why Sally was so desperate to find Emily that night. Because Terry was prepared to see revenge that night!

But the other side has many people and there was only one Terry. How can he fight alone?

"You... better put on some makeup.' Sally took out her makeup kit and handed ¡t to Emily.

She didn't want to say that Emily was ugly but with a face of freckles, she'd be better off putting on makeup.

"No, no makeup.' Emily looked at her, actually, she hates the smell of makeup. She was influenced by Wendy, an idiot

Now that she saw that Sally was safe, she sighed a breath of relief.

As long as after these two days she is not kidnapped, Sally won't be captured for trying to save her and will avoid the

tragedy.

"What happened?" She squatted down in front of Terry and continued what Sally was doing, bandaging his wounds.

'I'm fine....’

"Not fine at all lt was your sister's cousin, Amy Winston, today don't know who offended her, she brought ten-odd

men to look for you.”

"When they couldn't find you, they started to speak ill about you and Terry was unable to listen any further and fought

them off.

"You took on ten plus men and drove them away?" Emily stared at Terry, she felt responsible. “Didn't I told you not

resort to violence?”

"I... Terry pinched his fists, he didn't explain.

Sally could not resist anymore “You don't know what Amy said of you! She said that you drugged Master Hunter, climbed onto his bed and even seduced Master Manson. That you want to sleep both brothers....

"Shut up!" Terry's face darkened. These kinds of words shouldn't be said in front of Emily. Wouldn't they hurt her?

"Why should I shut up?” Sally refused to back down but she was most afraid of Terry.

Terry's fists were really frightful. One against ten plus and he didn't lose!

Although he was hurt†, those men were no better. All of them turned and ran with their tails between their legs.

Terry didn't bother with her and stared at Emily's wound: "What happened?”

"I accidentally bumped my head" Emily bandaged his arm and stood up.

The manager saw their expression and it was obvious that they cannot afford it. His smile disappeared and turned Serious.

"Guys, if you are not here to stay or eat, then... please leave."

"Emily, if you really want to eat here, then let's eat here.' Terry always supported Emily, 'Tll pay.'

"You pay? Do you know how much it costs to eat here?” Joe pulled his sleeve and whispered: "Thousands!"

Thousands! Even if Terry were to work three jobs for a month, he still can't afford it!

All of them know that Terry loves Emily but there is no need to do this. He is already working two jobs now and still has to attend school. Does he want to work himself to death?

"Ladies, we have a lot of guests and I cant attend to you any further. How about you...

"Aren't they Emily s friends?" Suddenly a pretty voice came over, “Are you here to work?”

All of them turned around and saw a beautifully dressed lady walking over with a man.

Most importantly, they both had the poise and were dressed expensively.

The lady looks at Emily and finally yells: "God! Emily, it's really you! So this is your actual looks!"

A face of freckles, it was stomach-turning ugly!

No wonder she spent the whole day putting on thick makeup. She was so ugly that she had to resort to heavy makeup

"ha ha ha!" Amy couldn't resist and laughed wickedly: 'Everyone was wondering how Emily looks without makeup.

Who would think that she ¡is uglier than imagined"

She looked at the manager and said condescendingly: 'Even iÍ you want to hire workers, you should hire those who look like a person. lf you hire such ugly creatures, the customers will lose their appetite just by looking at them! Who would want to eat here?"
