Chapter 398: So Heartless

It was late autumn. If it rained, one would feel a little cold.

"How can I secretly have him take the next dose of medicine?"

This was a tricky business.

Emmett was quite cautious. He did everything meticulously. It was a very difficult task to drug him.

Now that Emmett and Elaine were openly together, he would not meet Marina again. How could Marina
approach Emmett and drug him?

"Don't panic. There will definitely be a way out. I need to calm down...."

Marina closed her eyes and the corner of her coat fluttered with the autumn wind.

The phone rang.

Marina was shocked. She opened her eyes and found her phone. After taking a look at it, she quickly
answered.

"Dad...."

"Marina, I can't live anymore...."

"What's wrong, Dad?"

When Marina heard her father cry loudly, she panicked.

"Veronica was kidnapped and the kidnapper demanded a large ransom of 50 million. How can I have
so much money? What should I do?"

With a cold look, Marina pondered over this matter.



Who kidnapped Veronica?

Mr. Clooney had lust for women and he was kind to his lovers. Veronica was his favorite. Since she
was kidnapped, he would definitely be anxious.

"Dad, can you ignore Veronica?"

Thinking back and forth, Marina said such indifferent words.

"What? What did you say?"

Mr. Clooney almost fainted. What did he hear just now?

...

Surprisingly, his introverted and quiet daughter made such a cruel suggestion with such a calm tone.

To ignore Veronica?

Veronica then would be killed.

"What did you say? What exactly are you talking about?"

Mr. Clooney was so anxious that he roared.

Marina took a deep breath. She had already guessed that Emmett was the one behind this.

"Dad, is your life more important or Veronica's?"

"If you are willing to sacrifice your life for Veronica's, I don't care about it. You can ransom Veronica.

"Weigh up the pros and cons of this matter."



Mr. Clooney was shocked.

He needed to sacrifice himself for Veronica?

No matter how much he loved Veronica, he couldn't risk his own life to exchange for her.

"Marina, can you beg Emmett to help solve this matter?"

"Or you can borrow some money from him."

"If Emmett is willing to help, this matter will definitely be solved easily!"

Hearing Mr. Clooney's childish suggestion, Marina almost laughed coldly.

To ask Emmett for help?

If he was the kidnapper, would he help them?

This was ridiculous!

Maybe Emmett was waiting for her to beg him.

Marina clenched her teeth. Although Veronica was nice to her, Veronica was still an outsider.

"Dad, let me put it this way. Emmett will not help. Don't expect to get anything from Emmett."

"For this matter, do as I say. Let the kidnapper kill Veronica."

"After that, let's choose a good cemetery for her."

Marina said coldly and immediately hung up.



Mr. Clooney opened his mouth wide and lifted his phone in a daze. In a state of shock, he listened to
the beeping sound coming from the phone for a long time.

To his surprise, his quiet and virtuous daughter would say so.

How could such a quiet girl say such cold and heartless words?

Mr. Clooney couldn't accept it!

...

After hanging up, Marina revealed a sad expression.

No matter what, Veronica had been caring about her....

No matter how ruthless she was, she didn't have the heart to give up her relative.

However....

Thinking of Emmett's sharp and vicious gaze, Marina couldn't help but tremble.

This should be the most crucial moment in Emmett's decisive battle with her!

Emmett had already taken control of Ninja. The ZH Clan that he had been ruling became stronger, just
like adding wings to a tiger.

What else could stop Emmett?

Sure enough, from the very beginning, Emmett had been using Marina.

Perhaps everything was under Emmett's control from the very beginning.

Marina lowered her head. Narrowing her eyes, she rushed towards her car.



Elaine was sent to Emmett's villa.

She had been sleeping like a water lily.

Her long and dense eyelashes were like small fans. Occasionally, they fluttered slightly.

"Elaine is so unlucky. She has never enjoyed a wealthy life since she was young. Her family used to
take her as a servant. She managed to get into university and met Emmett. But now she becomes like
this. She is so unlucky."

Hazel watched Elaine sleep and couldn't help but sigh.

Hazel quietly walked out of the bedroom, closed the door, and began to admire Emmett's house.

It was so magnificent.

Emmett was truly rich.

Even the small ornaments around the corner were cultural relics of a certain country.

How much would it cost to decorate the house?

As Hazel looked around, she saw two rows of servants waiting outside to greet Emmett as he walked
in.

Hazel was in a trance for a while.

Heavens. Emmett really looked like an emperor.

If Elaine was fortunate enough to hold on, she would be like a queen!

"Hazel, how is Elaine?"



Emmett walked in with his head held high. He took off his coat and handed it to the housekeeper.
Staring at Hazel, he asked about Elaine's situation first.

...

Emmett did love Elaine, didn't he?

Hazel was happy for Elaine and said.

"Se has been sleeping soundly. Emmett, what exactly should we do about Elaine's illness? Can she be
cured?"

Hearing what Hazel said, Emmett paused.

A trace of sadness flashed across his handsome face as he muttered.

"I don't know.... No matter whether she will be cured, I won't ignore her."

"Even if she goes to hell, I will follow her. It would be better for us to stay together."

As he spoke, Emmett smiled mournfully yet with infinite determination.

Hazel's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Emmett hurriedly walked upstairs and said indifferently.

"Thank you for staying here with Elaine. You must be tired. I'll have the driver take you back. Joe,
arrange a car and send Ms. Hoffman back. Excuse me. I'll go to see Elaine. See you."

"There's no need to be so courteous. I'll visit her again tomorrow. As for the school...."



"You don't have to worry about it. I will arrange everything. Even if Elaine doesn't go to school, she can
still get her diploma."

Hazel nodded in relief and walked out.

Emmett eased himself into his bedroom. He never allowed anyone to stay in his bedroom, let alone to
sleep there.

Elaine was the only one who could rest on his bed!

Emmett silently walked to the bed, and looked down at Elaine affectionately.

Elaine still looked like a little child. With chubby and glowing cheeks, she was as cute as a doll.

God, why did you let such a pure and cute girl suffer from such a disease?

"Don't worry, my dear. As long as I'm alive, I will love you."

"I will give you warmth and protection as much as I can."

Emmett picked up Elaine's small hand and leaned it against his face. He closed his eyes and took a
deep breath.

Elaine seemed to have sensed something in her dream, and a smile appeared on her fair face.

...

Emmett looked dotingly at Elaine. Holding her hand like that, he kept quietly staring at her.

It was as if time had stopped.

At this moment, they had each other.



They relied on each other.

Emmett sighed and gently put Elaine's hands into the quilt. Then, he tucked her in and bent over. He
gave her a light kiss on the forehead before he silently walked out of the bedroom.

Kayden was answering a phone in the living room in a low voice.

He had to keep his voice down. Now that Elaine was living in the house, her needs took priority. She
was asleep now, so he had to make his call gingerly as if he were a thief.

It was no exaggeration to say that Elaine was his bane.

Kayden looked up, seeing his handsome master coming down the stairs.

Kayden listened to the phone and nodded to Emmett.

Emmett faintly knitted his brows as he walked to the sofa with an icy expression and then sat down.

A servant had already handed over the ginseng tea. Emmett elegantly stretched out his slender hand
to take it and took a sip.

Kayden's phone call ended.

"Young Master.... Supper...."

"I don't want to have it."

Kayden got stuck for words.

Kayden pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.

What was going on? Why didn't Emmett want to eat?



In this way, it was better for Elaine to be awake. If she was awake, Emmett would eat as scheduled.

Emmett kept tapping his fingers on a handle and rubbed the cup on his other hand against his lips. He
raised his left eyebrow and said.

"Has the killer who chased after Elaine already been escorted to this city?"

Kayden was shocked and immediately nodded. "Yeah, I just received news that the man is in the
underground prison in Western District. Young Master, how about me interrogating him tomorrow?"

Emmett slowly swallowed a mouthful of tea and sneered.

"There's no need to be so troublesome. He must have taken the order from Marina."
