Billionaire's Reborn Baby novel Chapter 409

City Q.

Deon hosted a banquet and invited many friends to celebrate Emma's return.

The Albertons toasted to celebrate and laughed heartily with drinks in their hands.

Emma put on a coat and sat on the swing in the garden, looking at the sky. When Emma and Stony lived in Tea Manor, she liked to look at the stars and the moon while lying in the yard.

Emma loved astronomy as a kid. Deon would get her astronomical books and even a set of astronomical telescope.

Emma looked at the sky by the window alone at night, listening to Bernice's blather. Emma was intoxicated with the stars.

Someone sat beside Emma. She turned around and saw Bernice who was uneasy.

"Don't leave by yourself. We've agreed that you must take me with you if you leave." Bernice whispered and looked around, "Keep it from your father. Just let that old bastard worry sick about us."

Emma pursed her lips and smiled, "It's not good. If Dad's displeased, you'll be upset."

"Only when he's upset will I be pleased." Bernice said.

Emma cradled her wine cup and took a sip.

"Mom." Emma said, "I'll take you with me when I leave. Don't worry about it."

"You must keep your word. Don't lie to me. If you lie to me, I..." Bernice couldn't think of anything to threaten her after pondering for long. An idea finally came upon Bernice, so she said fiercely, "If you lie to me, I'll find a young man to be your stepfather."

Emma was helpless.

"What are you talking about?" Deon's furious voice came from behind them.

Emma and Bernice turned around at the same time and saw Deon standing there, drunk, his face red. The two madams were supporting Deon, and he could only restrain himself. He pointed at Bernice for a while before saying, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Bernice ignored that, "I didn't talk to you. Don't interrupt."

Bernice was bolder, but Deon didn't dare to flare up. He was afraid that Bernice would go abroad again and wouldn't return for years if he snapped at her.

The other two wives, who were standing aside, saw this and left with envy.

Emma sighed softly.

Bernice held Emma's arm and asked, "Who are you into recently?"

Emma didn't want to provoke Deon, but Bernice wanted her to answer, so she could only say, "Francis Walter."

Deon frowned and asked, "Who is he? Is he from here? How old is he? Is he married? How long have you known each other? Don't be in such a hurry to get married. Let me meet him and we'll talk about it."

Emma was helpless.

Bernice chuckled, "Who do you think you are? You can't just meet him as you want."

"Why can't I?" Deon frowned. Just as he was about to say something, someone came over with a mobile phone. He looked at Deon and said, "Someone called Miss Emma."

"Is it a man or a woman?" Deon was most concerned about this.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "A man."

"Give it to me." Just as Deon was about to take the phone, Emma got up from the swing, walked over, and took it promptly.

"Hello..." Emma thought it was Collin, but the man on the other end of the phone was silent for long. Emma paused and then realized it was Jaquan. It was a relief.

Neither of them spoke, and even Deon and Bernice felt that something was wrong.

Jaquan on the other end of the phone finally spoke.

"I'm sorry." Jaquan said, "I lost Stony."

Emma's heart sank. A moment later, she calmed down and turned to look at Deon. Then Emma walked into a bedroom with the phone, and asked, "When did it happen?"

"It happened at the entrance of the food market at noon today. I asked Ferne to run the plate..." Jaquan said urgently, "Did your father's people do it? I'm too anxious. I'm worried that they're not your father's men, but Stony has been missing all afternoon. Emma..."

Emma knew what Jaquan meant, so she replied soon, "My father would never do that. He is high profile, frank and forthright. Even if my father knew about Stony, he wouldn't kidnap Stony like this..."

"Alright, I got it." Jaquan said, "I will definitely get Stony back." After a pause, Jaquan said, "Don't worry. I will find him. I won't let him get hurt."

"People from the GY Temple did it." Emma said all of the sudden, "I killed some of them, so they revenged on me and captured my son. It's none of your business. It's me they want to revenge on."
