Chapter 146: Challenge!

Emmett feels wonderful the way Elaine lying in his arms.

His arm is still holding her waist. He points at her with another hand and continues asking Kayden, “I
mean, it is already evening. Can’t you give her a shawl or something when she runs out? It is chilly at
night. She isn’t strong like you and me. What if she catches a cold and falls sick?”

Kayden secretly mumbles, “We can go and see a doctor if she falls sick. Look at how you reacted. Is
she a princess or something?”

“Yes, young master. You, go and get a cape for her,” Kayden instructs one of the gangs to go and get a
cape for Elaine.

“Young master, here’s the cape,” a young guy approaches Emmett and hands over a red cape.

The cape is soft and fluffy. It is like holding a fluffy animal, just like how the ladies like it.

Emmett takes the cape, covers it onto Elaine’s shoulder and ties a knot under her neck. Emmett only
stops after it makes Elaine looks like a doll.

“I said I don’t feel cold. I don’t need this.” Elaine finally gets to get away from Emmett’s hug. She takes
a few steps back and rolls her eyes as she touches the cape on her shoulder.

Emmett calmly looks at Elaine, who stays away from him. He then drinks the glass of water his servant
hands him. His eyes still locked onto Elaine, “It is chilly at night. I don’t want to carry you to the doctor if
you catch a cold. Be good.”

It sounds like he is talking to his daughter.

Emmett almost burst in laughter the moment he lowers his head and sees the fluffy slippers Elaine is
wearing.



“This is all you are wearing? Aren’t you afraid of getting tripped?”

“What’s wrong with these? It is soft and comfy,” Elaine looks at her feet and feels confused.

The beautiful slippers are now dirty. There are grasses, dirt and dews on them.

Emmett stands with his arms akimbo, lowers his body and pokes Elaine’s forehead with his long
fingers, “Elaine, do you know that the slippers family will hate you for what you did to this little slippers?
Look at you. Look at what you have done to the pretty slippers.”

“Now, I will punish you on behalf of the slippers family. Are you ready for your punishment?”

“What…What punishment?” Elaine blinks her eyes and feels confused, “I…I can go and clean it up.
What’s the offence here?”

“The slippers are angry. They want punishments for you,” while talking, Emmett carries Elaine with his
arms and starts spinning her rapidly on the spot.

“Let me down! No… I feel dizzy… dizzy…” Elaine holds on tightly onto Emmett’s shirt. She closes her
eyes and screams.

The sky is spinning, and the earth is floating. The trees around them are dancing rapidly.

Kayden secretly laughs at the romantic couple while leaning on the trunk of a tree, “Young master
seems to be getting more humane these days.”

Many years after, Elaine still remembers her innocent eighteen years old where she was deeply loved
and spoiled by Emmett.

Emmett insists on carrying Elaine on their way back.

“Let me down. I can walk by myself. I don’t feel dizzy now. Really! It’s not too far. It’s not tiring.”



Looking at the handsome face of Emmett, Elaine emphasizes her opinion again and again.

Emmett too insists on his opinion. He wants to carry her all the way back to their house.

A group of men silently follows behind Emmett.

At this moment, Elaine has an illusion that Emmett owns everything in the world, and he is willing to
give it all to her.

Oh, it sounds so romantic! These are all storylines from novels. Could it happen to her in reality?

Emmett puts Elaine down on the couch and goes to shower after that.

Elaine sits on the couch and starts to binge-watch. Since she couldn’t understand what they are talking
on the television shows, she could pick and watch a silent comedy!

“This person is interesting,” Elaine laughs and speaks to Kayden while she enjoys her snacks.

“I don’t want to talk to you,” Kayden purposely ignores Elaine and looks at the ceiling.

Elaine twitches her lips when she sees Kayden’s cold reaction. She looks at Kayden and asks, “What
are we having as dinner tonight, Kayden?”

“How would I know? You should ask young master,” Kayden throws Elaine an answer which she
wouldn’t know how to respond.

At the same time, the mobile phone on the table rings. It is Emmett’s mobile phone.

Elaine snoops over and sees the name on the screen- Juliana.

Isn’t her the foreigner lady that has a wild look that they saw earlier? The tall one with a big bust, thin
waist and golden hair.



Elaine doesn’t like it when she thinks of how tightly Juliana and Emmett hugged earlier.

She walks over and takes Emmett’s phone. However, Kayden reminds her, “Hey, I advise you to put
that phone down right away. The young master doesn’t like people messing up with his stuff. If he gets
angry, no one could save you from his rage.”

Elaine replies Kayden in a snit, “I’m the assistant of President Smith. It is within my job scope to pick up
phone calls for him. What can you do?”

She picks up the phone and starts the conversation with her a lovely tone, “Hello.”

Juliana is obviously stunned. She pauses for a second then straightforwardly replies while she flips her
hair and squints her eyes, “Hello, can I speak to Emmett, please?”

Juliana speaks fluent Chinese language.

How would Elaine know beforehand that Juliana has been an intelligent woman all along and it is in her
blood that she is domineering? Juliana has mastered five languages since young and she is well-
trained in both martial arts and business operation. Generally speaking, she is the female version of
Emmett.

Juliana is aggressive, smart, capable and managerial.

“You wish to speak with President Smith? He is in the shower right now. I will inform him to call you
back once he is free, alright?” Elaine is shocked by Juliana‘s cold tone, so she quickly answers.

“It’s fine. It’s nothing big. I want to reconfirm our date tonight. We are supposed to have dinner tonight,
and he is going to stay over at my house. Alright, I will call back later. Goodbye.”

“Bye…” Elaine’s eyes are wide open out of surprise. She slowly put the phone down.



What an arrogant woman! Juliana is obviously challenging Elaine!

The dinner and the stayover tonight… If this isn’t a challenge, then what is it?

But wait… Isn’t Elaine a nobody to Emmett? He was just casually saying that she is his girlfriend. No…
his original words were “my woman”.

What is Elaine’s reason to be jealous with Juliana then?

Hold on a minute! Jealous?

“Am I jealous? Wait, why should I be jealous? I shouldn’t be! Isn’t it normal for a successful man like
Emmett to have many lovers and admirers?” Elaine immediately feels depressed. The content of the
television show can no longer make her laugh anymore.

After showering, Emmett changes into a more refreshed and smart attire.

Elaine points at the mobile phone and says, “Juliana called. I picked it up for you. She says she is
going to call you back regarding on your date and that you are staying over at her place tonight.”

“What?” Emmett frowns.

Why did Juliana lie? When did he promise her to stay over at her place tonight?

All he did was asked her out for a business dinner to confirm the details on their collaboration. It is all
about the collaboration they are going to have!

The mafias in Italy are always the leader of the underground groups in Europe.

The arms trade, high-pay assassinations, and massive amounts of drug dealings, it is all the mafia
doing.



Collaborating with them strengthens the ZH Clan. Of course, it is significant.

Juliana is the daughter of the current ruler of the mafia group. She is favoured and capable. Rumour
has it that she could kill nine assassins who tries to assassinate her with bare hands.

It doesn’t matter what Juliana thinks about him, but Emmett can never underestimate this collaboration
partner of his.

Emmett pats Elaine’s head and asks lightly, “What do you want to have for dinner?”

Elaine’s eyes light up immediately, “Are you not going to have dinner with Juliana?”

“I am. What I meant was, whatever you want to eat, I can ask Kayden to get it for you.”

Elaine’s heart is like a popped balloon. She has got nothing to expect right away.

“I see. Juliana isn’t lying. Emmett has a date with her, and it seems like he is going to sleep with her
tonight.” Elaine’s heart feels heavy, and she doesn’t like the feeling of it.
