Chapter 23
Emma knew very little about Brad in her previous life. All she knew was that he was as deep and calculating as Liam. Even now, rumors had it
that the real power of the Hall family had fallen into Brad’s hands.
She dared not let her guard down, stepping forward and greeting him, “Hello, you must be Liam’s younger brother.”
As soon as the words “younger brother” were uttered, Emma clearly saw Brad’s face freeze up.
Brad pursed his lips and regained his composure. “Emma, you’re quite discerning. Yes, since you married my elder brother, we’re a family, and you’ll be my… sister–in–law.”
As Brad said the word “sister–in–law,” he deliberately enunciated those syllables with a certain weight, inexplicably making Emma rather
uneasy.
“You’re here for Liam, right? He’s not around?” asked Emma.
“Liam seems to be out.” Brad looked at her and suddenly gave an enigmatic smile. “Have you been adjusting well to life at the Icovine Estate these days, Emma?”
“Why would I possibly be not? I was just a country orphan.” In no mood to chat with him, Emma tidied up her hair in front of the metal reflective decorations in the living room.
“Humph, that was a very humble thing to say.” Brad sneered as he took a sip of the coffee.
Emma shone in the public eye at Aria’s engagement party and the battle against Ruby in Vark College a few days ago, and now all the prominent families in the city were talking about her.
Brad watched that battle as well.
A woman who could knock down the national champion was definitely not simple. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made a special trip today. He’d like to see for himself what kind of woman she was and what exactly Liam was up to by having such a woman by his side. “Do you enjoy
coffee, Emma?”
“Not interested,” Emma coldly replied.
“That’s a pity,” Brad said gracefully. “Liam used to love coffee the most, but after he became disabled, he lost that refined interest. Don’t you know that, Emma?”
“Really?” Emma responded mechanically, feeling extremely irritated inside.
If it weren’t for the fact that Brad was Liam’s brother, she would have punched him into the next galaxy by now, but for now, she had to wait
for Liam to come back and sort things out.
“Ever since Liam got disabled, his personality has taken a drastic turn. He’s dealt brutally with many who once followed him to the death.” Brad paused here, sizing up Emma’s expression. “There was even one guy who was thrown into a mastiff base and was mauled to death alive… But it’s understandable. Usually, after someone becomes disabled, their psyche is bound to have some kind of flaw. If you ever need help in the future, just give me a shout. I’m here for you.” Brad smiled, handing Emma a business card.
But right then, Liam’s wheelchair silently rolled up to the villa entrance.
“Mr. Ha-” Levi started, but he immediately shut up upon seeing Liam’s suddenly darkened expression.
Upon a casual glimpse, he spotted Brad and Emma in the room, leading he nearly choked on his breath.

Chapter 23
Juli
‘Oh my! Mr. Brad is here, and he’s giving Mrs. Emma his card! To know Brad is Mr. Liam’s tabool And also the person Mr. Liam hates the most! Anyone who dares to associate with Brad will be sentenced to death by him in a heartbeat!‘ Levi was sweating profusely.
As Emma finished, Levi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He saw the murderous aura emanating from Liam when Emma took the card earlier. It wasn’t until she tore it up that Liam instantly softened, even smiling slightly like everything was coming back to life.
