Chapter 365
In the evening. Eason brought Emma with him.
Eason had some confidence because of Susan’s information, but Emma was completely uncertain.
Although she had agreed to Eason’s bet, she was actually quite anxious in her heart.
Under the sun, any mother would probably not want their child to bear such a burden.
Regardless of Judith’s attitude, Emma had already mentally prepared herself.
Even though she had imagined countless times the possible situations that could arise when they met at night, but when they really met, Emma was still shocked.
“Emma.” Judith saw Emma and greeted her with a smile on her face.
Judith’s attitude was overly friendly, making both Emma and Eason somewhat flustered.
Eason couldn’t help but glance at Susan.
He really wanted to know what Susan had done to make Judith’s attitude change so
dramatically.
Susan gave him a mysterious smile.
Eason became even more curious.
But this puzzle didn’t last long.
Soon, Judith grabbed Emma’s hand and eagerly asked, “Emma, let me ask. What is the scene of the eighth level? Have you solved all the previous puzzles? How many more levels are there in this game? And, is the little girl really dead? Wouldn’t that be such a pity? Can you set up a scene to let her come back to life…”
Judith rattled on.
At first, Emma was a bit nervous.
But as she listened, she became a bit dazed.
She thought, ‘What is Judith talking about?”
“Oh, I’m sorry, are these confidential? You can’t reveal them?” Judith looked at Emma expectantly.
Emma snapped out of her daze and finally reacted.
Based on the content of Judith’s words, Judith was talking about the game she had planned called Final Puzzle.
“Mrs. Nicholas… you’re playing this game?” Emma was pleasantly surprised.

“Yes, I am.” Judith nodded naturally and then excitedly said, “This game you made is simply amazing. Not only me, Penny also played it for a long time.”
Emma couldn’t help but glance at Penny.
Penny suppressed her anger and forced a smile.
“Emma, how did you come up with such a brilliant game? Your mind must be incredible, Judith couldn’t help but praise.
Emma was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, “Actually, the design wasn’t that well thought out. For example, that little girl will actually appear later on. This was hinted at earlier, for example…”
Emma elaborated and analyzed the entire plot in detail.
As the main planner, she had complete control over all the game details. In a moment, the once mysterious game slowly. unveiled its secrets through her narration.
Judith listened attentively, occasionally showing a look of sudden realization.
If it weren’t time for dinner, she could have pulled Emma to continue talking for another hour.
Eason silently gave Susan a thumbs up as he watched the harmonious scene between the two.
Susan raised an eyebrow, her expression proud.
It was as if she was saying, “Don’t you know who I am?”
That night, Emma came with trepidation, but left feeling relieved.
She couldn’t help but ask Eason, “What did you do to make Mrs. Nicholas approve of me?”
Eason shook his head decisively. “I didn’t do anything. I guess you were already likable.”
Emma’s face blushed slightly.
A faint sweetness welled up in her heart.
She knew very well that Eason must have done something to make today’s meeting go so smoothly.
Thinking of Susan waiting there early on, Emma had a sudden realization.
It should be Susan who did the work behind the scenes.
But Susan’s willingness to help must have been at Eason’s request.
Emma’s heart suddenly warmed up.
It turned out she was not alone in this world.
There would really be someone to protect her, to shield her from harm and block all the storms and winds.

In Emma’s eyes, this pitch–black night suddenly became tender and affectionate.
The world seemed to suddenly become brighter.
Emma looked at the person beside her and suddenly felt endless courage.
No matter how many storms and hardships the future might hold, she seemed to have the bravery to face them all.
Finally, she felt the meaning of existence in this world.
She thought this feeling was truly wonderful.
Under the night breeze, a gentle and warm smile appeared on Emma’s lips.
It was charming and graceful.
After bidding farewell to Emma, Susan also took her leave and returned to the next room.
Penny watched Susan’s figure, and her expression became gloomy.
Originally, she really wanted to be good friends with Susan.
But she thought, ‘Susan, you should have never, ever, stepped into this.”
“Penny, Emma mentioned some details just now, I plan to play again. Do you want to join?” Emma asked eagerly.
Penny forced a smile, saying. “No need. I’m a bit tired.”
AL
Judith patted her shoulder. “Penny, I know you’re still worried about Emma’s condition, but Susan is right. Although Emma is deeply trapped in darkness, there is strength within her. I believe that even if they encounter any problems in the future, she and Eason will definitely find a solution together.”
Since Judith said this, what else could Penny do?
She could only force a smile and pretend to agree, saying, “Mom, you’re right.”
“I’m glad you can understand.” Judith patted Penny’s shoulder with satisfaction.
Then, she buried her head in playing games.
Penny was speechless.
A fire seemed to be burning in her heart.
Her entire plan was completely disrupted by Susan.
She couldn’t blame Eason, nor could she do anything to Emma for now.
But her full resentment needed an outlet.
She thought, ‘Susan, you brought this upon yourself.”
Penny remembered the secret she accidentally found out, and a gloomy look gradually appeared.
She originally thought she would keep it for Susan forever.
After all, Susan and she had no conflicting interests, and she had no reason to go after Susan.
But now, things were different. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Even if Susan still had no conflicting interests with her, Susan caused her to lose Eason, which meant Susan was going for her life.
So She wouldn’t let Susan continue being so sweet and loving with Ben.
In the room, Penny’s face darkened as she recalled the secret she accidentally discovered.
Last time, she went to the Landor residence for a visit.
Coincidentally, she saw the family doctor of the Landor family hastily leaving.
The doctor accidentally tripped, and the documents in his hands fell to the ground.
Penny helped pick them up and casually glanced at them.
With just one glance, she was stunned.
At that time, the family doctor took the documents, said thank you, and hurriedly left.
But Penny could not forget the contents of that fleeting glance.
[Serious physical damage. It would be difficult to conceive.]
Being difficult to conceive naturally referred to a girl.
In the Landor family, there were only two women, Susan and Penelope.
Penelope was already past the age of pregnancy.
So, this sentence could only be referring to Susan.
At that time, Susan had just had a blood transfusion, and her body was severely damaged.
Later, Susan took several months to recuperate before she recovered.
Everyone thought that Susan had fully recovered her health.
In reality, the true aftermath of that blood transfusion was that Susan became extremely difficult to conceive,
The difficulty in conceiving was probably something that Ben did not care about.

Otherwise, he would not have quietly suppressed the matter.
Even Susan herself may not be aware of this.

Penny thought, “But Ben can disregard it. What about Charlie? Can he also ignore it? Susan, oh Susan, do you really think your love is so indestructible? Since you destroyed my love, I will let you experience what true pain feels like.”
Penny began to plan with a gloomy expression.
She couldn’t directly intervene in this matter.
So she had to find a way to let Charlie discover it himself.
The specific plan would require careful consideration.
A few days later, on this morning, after finishing breakfast, Charlie was leisurely reading the newspaper.
The butler walked in with an envelope, saying, “Mr. Landor, the health examination report you did before is out.”
Charlie would do regular physical examinations every year.
A few days ago, he had just done a comprehensive examination.
Now, the examination report was out.
‘Let me have a look.” Charlie took the envelope and opened it with a smile.
His health had been good recently, so when he opened the report, Charlie was relatively calm.
He opened the document, looked at the title, and was slightly stunned.
Penelope leaned over to take a look and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Dad, is this report a mistake? It seems to be Susan’s health examination report.”
“It must have been delivered incorrectly?” Charlie furrowed his brows. “But Susan hasn’t had an examination recently”
“Maybe it’s from before?” Penelope also found it surprising.
“Perhaps.” Since the report had been delivered, Charlie casually took a glance.
Susan’s body was overall weaker than the average person, a consequence of long–term blood transfusions.
Charlie sighed as he looked at it, thinking that he should take better care of Susan.
While he was looking and sighing, Charlie saw a certain item.
He was shocked, and his brows furrowed.
Penelope took a look and also froze.

She couldn’t help but glance at Charlie.
His gaze fell on one sentence.
[Serious physical damage. It would be difficult to conceive.]
Penelope’s heart skipped a beat.
She thought, ‘Susan, she… is unable to conceive?
Dad has been eagerly anticipating grandchildren for a long time.
But now, Susan is unable to conceive.
Doesn’t that mean Dad’s expectations will be directly shattered?
Moreover, if Ben and Susan cannot have their own child, what should they do with the Landor family property?
Can a person like Dad, who values his family’s inheritance so much, accept this?
