Mar

“Ah” I sprained my foot, thinking that this man would coldly choose to stay away, after all, he knew about my miserable life. I had just finished arguing with two scheming women and was now engaged in a battle of wits with two scoundrels.

But he effortlessly, without saying a word, picked me up.

I was somewhat surprised by the undisguised concern in his eyes, as if we had known each other for years.

Stop looking, no matter how attractive he is, he is not your man. The woman I have loved the most in my life is called Maggie!”

It was so embarrassing, being directly exposed, and the blatant judgment made me feel a hint of annoyance in my mind.

“Who cares about you, I was just curious about Maggie, how could she bear to leave such a good man?”

Emmett glanced at me deeply and then spoke directly, “She didn’t go on a trip, she died, died at the hands of the McDowell family’s persecution!”

I was a bit tongue-tied and didn’t know how to respond to his words.

In my impression, the McDowell family was quite good to me this year, although occasionally I would hear others judging them, saying how the McDowell family fought fiercely, fought strong, fought smart, and fought bravely to get to where they are now.

But I understood that the strength of a family, without the efforts of a few individuals, was impossible to achieve success.

So I was curious about how Maggie died in the hands of the McDowell family.

Not to mention, even Emmett knew that she was the daughter of my aunt Anika.

I tried to explain, “Could it be a misunderstanding? After all, even though my aunt is a strong woman and has offended many people in the business world, she couldn’t possibly harm her own daughter, right?”

I saw a hint of mockery in Emmett’s eyes as he raised his beautiful eyebrows and spoke with a touch of menace, “He didn’t want to kill his own daughter. But what if that girl wasn’t his biological daughter, but rather the rightful heir of the McDowell family?”

I was confused, who was the rightful heir?

Is he the child of grandpa?

Grandfather is already 76 years old, Emmett looks like he’s not even 30, his girlfriend couldn’t possibly be grandfather’s daughter. Could it be that grandfather had a secret daughter when he was almost 50? I was shocked and couldn’t quite understand this for a moment.

I watched Emmett blankly, clearly he knew that I was lost in my thoughts again. He tapped my forehead with a hint of indulgence and said, “Alright, stop daydreaming. As long as you and I secure a top three position in the training camp, I will tell you the truth about the matter.”
