Chapter 218 Just Wait and See

Her lips started to tremble subconsciously.

Her eyes were full of caution and fear.

“Heh…How did you know about this?”

All she ever wanted was to be an ordinary woman who lived an ordinary life. Due to her peaceful
nature, she had been abandoned by the Dark Clan in the first place.

The Dark Clan was always shrouded in mystery, and there was never concrete information about its
members. How did Mr. Smith learn about such information?

What was his reason for approaching her after learning of such a fact?

On the other hand, Emmett was looking very nonchalant. He was carrying himself with utmost
gracefulness and his extremely handsome face suddenly moved to just within inches of Marina’s ear as
he whispered, “To be my girlfriend, don’t you think that you should be able to live up to that title? I need
you to do something for me now.”

Marina who was looking forward to a romantic relationship was instantly plunged into an icy deep
abyss.

This man in front of her who was initially holding her and expressing his love towards her had an
unrivalled appearance which brought on great impact for anyone who laid eyes on him.

She couldn’t imagine him grinning so gently while spouting such emotionless words!

“Is this your so-called love for me?” Marina said while trembling.

She wanted to cry so badly. She felt an unbearable sorrow enveloping her.



Emmett twisted the corner of his mouth and replied, “This is only my second time confessing my love to
anyone at all. You should feel honoured. I wouldn’t waste any time and energy saying such words
without any reason. My dear Marina, don’t you know that I am really into you in others’ eyes? They
must have thought that this is love at first sight.”

Marina bit her lips and asked with a broken voice, “What do you want me to do?”

“I will reveal that to you bit by bit in the near future.”

Marina frowned while sucking in a deep breath, “Why should I allow myself to be your tool?”

“Why, you ask? This is all for your dream of having a peaceful and ordinary life. You should know what
consequences would be waiting for you if word has gotten out that you are one of the assassins from
the Dark Clan.”

A tremendous shudder ran through Marina’s body.

Too scary!

Emmett was really too scary!

While he was speaking such words casually, he was able to bring down your fortified defences in a
single moment!

…

His smile had the same effects as a venomous potion!

However, one would gladly welcome such a potion and take on the brutal effects of the poison which
would push one to the brink of death.



Emmett hugged Marina closely while clasping her shaking head to his chest. He then spoke loudly,
“Marina, I have fallen completely head over heels for you. I have never related such strongly to any
women before this. You are the first and only one who has captured my heart! I want to marry you
now!”

Marina froze in his embrace and all types of emotions were mixed in her heart.

At that time, one man who was lying low nearby then suddenly fled.

Emmett raised his eyebrows slightly which was extremely attractive. He then let go of Marina while
putting on a cold smile.

Now, that man who had been tailing and eavesdropping on him would pass on the news to Juliana that
he was now in love with Marina.

Emmett looked out at the ocean and his face was now shrouded in ruthless coldness.

Marina watched Emmett’s icy cold side profile and slightly shivered.

What she was seeing now must be this man’s true colours.

He resembled a carnivorous and ferocious shark which sought blood! He was unsympathetic and
ruthless!

Ding Dong!

Emmett’s phone vibrated slightly which told him that he had a new message at the moment.

After pausing for a few seconds, Emmett slowly produced his phone to check the message.

Elaine’s face appeared on the screen of his phone.



She was grinning widely with her pure and innocent eyes slightly bent. She looked very naïve while she
was pouting her fat lips and rambled on about something.

“Pfft… This silly girl…”

In an instant, Emmett’s originally stern expression transformed into a brilliant smile that could even rival
the shine of the stars!

Marina was stunned when she saw his face!

It turned out that he actually looked so handsome while he was smiling genuinely!

However, this was nothing but a momentary brilliance, as he immediately shifted his expression to one
of seriousness after letting out a laugh.

Where was that girl right now?

What was in her background?

It looked like she was on a cruise, and that red carpet looked so familiar…

Could it be that… She was also on the same cruise as he was at the moment?

…

Emmett widened his eyes in disbelief and he looked pretty anxious for a moment.

“Shit!”

Emmett cursed under his breath, which was totally different from his previous collected expression.

Marina peeked at Emmett with confusion.



Hmph, this shark-like man was actually feeling anxious about something?

At the same time, Juliana who was taking a stroll along the starboard with her hands thrust in her
pockets was still able to maintain her composure. All of a sudden, one of her underlings seemed like he
had just stolen something as she saw him rushing towards her nervously.

“Mi...Miss…”

“Hey, look at yourself, you are being too nervous. You don’t have anything to worry about even if the
sky falls down, you know. If you have something to say, spill it!”

That underling was patting his own chest when he began in a serious tone, “It is trouble! I just
overheard Emmett confessing his love to Marina. He told her that it was love at first sight and he had
completely fallen for her. He even asked her to marry him.”

“What did you say?” Juliana couldn’t hold on to her calmness anymore as she took off her sunglasses
hastily which revealed her bulging eyes.

“Love at first sight? Asking her to marry him? Damn it! Did Emmett really say that?”

Juliana grabbed her underling’s shirt and pulled him forward, which made him feel a little suffocated,
“Miss… it’s real… I heard this with my own ears! Emmett is really captivated by Marina! He was flirting
with her just now. If you so happened to hear what he was saying, you would be so mad.”

Ah! Juliana could barely contain her anger anymore!

She was gnashing her teeth audibly while clenching her fists hard.

“This damn Emmett! He never set his eyes on me, so I always thought that he had set his eyes on
someone even more attractive. It turns out that he has actually fallen head over heels for this kind of



bitch! Did he really mention about love at first sight and asking her to marry him? Fuck that! As long as
I am still alive, he will never get his way!”

Juliana was stomping the starboard with force, then she rolled up her sleeves and started to move
forward.

She was going to catch him red-handed!

Since some woman dared to seduce her man, she wasn’t going to let this go just like that!

She wanted to peel Marina’s skin alive!

Marina, just you wait and see!

…

Juliana stormed towards Emmett with indignation.

At the same time, Elaine and Sally were approaching Emmett too from another direction.

Elaine and Sally were enjoying the scenery while eating their cakes when Elaine commented, “Those
women just now were really flaunting their assets from the way they dress. Their dresses were so low-
cutting.”

Sally pouted with her mouth full of food as she complained, “Hmph, Master Young is really a playboy.
At first glance, we can see that he’s really good at flirting with girls. Hey, why do I feel so much distrust
towards this kind of people? Hazel told me how great this Master Young is, but I don’t really like him.”

Elaine shook her head noncommittally, “Alas, whether he’s a playboy or not has nothing to do with me
in the end. He can do whatever he wants.”

“But he’s pursuing you, you know.”



“Alas, it’s not like I want him to do that.”

Emmett was flustered at that moment as his breathing also became ragged. He hurriedly called
Kayden and the moment Kayden answered his call, he began, “What’s going on? Why is Elaine here
on this ship?”

Kayden hesitated for a second before replying, “You’re right, it’s just that I didn’t manage to inform you
of this yet. Master Young is the one bringing her here…”

“I don’t care what methods you employ, you have to get her off the ship! She can’t see me here…”

“But, Mr. Smith…”

Emmett still wanted to argue further but he caught a glimpse of Juliana from afar, so he immediately
ended the call and shoved Marina into his embrace.

Juliana looked up and saw an infuriating sight!

Emmett was wrapping one of his arm around Marina’s waist while his other hand was actually fondling
with her breast. He was gazing at her with eyes full of affection as if the very next second he would
swoop in and kiss her!

Juliana felt her blood boiling the more she watched such an infuriating scene.

Her eyes were bloodshot, her breathing became short and her fists were clenched so hard that it was
making some weird sound.

Damn it… Oh my god…

“Emmett! What the hell are you doing now?”



Juliana raised her fist and stormed towards him while letting out a cry!

Emmett continued to hug Marina and brushed her cheeks with his lips. In the eyes of outsiders,
Emmett seemed like he had just planted a kiss on Marina’s cheeks!

…

Marina took in this man’s fragrance which was too close to her and she couldn’t help but feel her
feelings getting swayed by him.

Despite knowing that he was just using her and the fact that he was just doing this for show, it didn’t
stop her from feeling uncontrollably excited!

His hand which was fondling with her chest, for the sake of putting on this image, also caused her to
feel electrified. Her body was responding to him in all the subtlest ways.

If…

Putting aside whether this was all just a farce, and the fact that she was being used by him…

If she could have a great night with him…she would feel satisfied!

Marina’s fluttering eye lashes revealed his naïve longing that resembled a young lady’s.

“Emmett! What the hell are you doing? Don’t you know what would happen if you push me to my
limits?”

Juliana strode forward while calling out loudly.

Her pitch was high but it sounded like her sound was scattered by the wind to countless pieces which
were sprinkled on the starboard.



Emmett finally produced a response as he tilted his chiselled face slightly while narrowing his eyes. He
faked an astounded expression on his face while exclaiming softly, “Why are you here?”

Marina was entranced while watching Emmett’s extraordinary jawline but she slowly averted her gaze
and finally saw the incoming woman.

Juliana could make out that Marina was captivated by him from her expression alone!

Damn it! If she didn’t get wind of this and come here, would they just suddenly start to do crazy things
together in public?

She felt that this was too much!

This blonde girl with blue eyes knew martial arts!

This was the conclusion Marina had reached the moment she set eyes on Juliana!

From the way Juliana walked, she could sense that her muscles were elastic which gave her fast
reactivity. Juliana looked like one of those people who had trained in martial arts for a substantial
amount of time.
