Chapter 364: The Poorest Guy
Chapter 364: The Poorest Guy
The reporters here were startled. They did not know how to do a report on this drama.
But they would definitely report about Miss Juliana's terminal illness.
This would be the headline.
They were just hesitating if they should write about what that girl had said.
Just as they were thinking, several sturdy men of the ZH Clan walked up to them and warned them one by one.
"Delete everything about that woman. Otherwise...."
This was clearly a threat and an order!
All the reporters nodded with a flattering smile.
Atwood sneered and sounded colder. He poked his walking stick at the carpet as he said slowly but sinisterly,
"Emmett ... I don't know if what that woman said is true. I hope it's not, otherwise...."
Atwood thought, "Otherwise, I'll kill that Elaine even if you try your best to hide and protect her!
"Dad! The engagement will go on. I love Mariana. It's a pity if I could not marry her. Priest? Let's start over."
Emmett gritted his teeth. His body tensed up as he tried his best to hide his emotions.
No matter how disgusted he was, he forced a smile and held Marina's hand. Then, he looked up at the priest.
It was as if Sally had never appeared.
The priest began to recite those vows again.
Emmett stared at him blankly. He felt that he could not hear anything. He just saw the priest's lips moving.
However, deep down in his heart, he was thinking,
"Elaine, can you understand why I'm doing this?"
"Marriage is nothing more than a piece of paper, a useless certificate to deceive the world."
"True love, however, may not show up in the public."
"If this is the only way to keep you safe, I can only do it!"
After the priest finished the vows, he waited for Emmett's reply again.
Everyone held their breath and waited for Emmett to say something.
Emmett closed his eyes and sighed,
"I ... do."
Marina, who was beside him, finally got relieved.
Sally, who was dragged thirty meters away, just got away from Jasper's mouth. Just as she was panting, she heard what Emmett said on the microphone.
"I do ... I do...."
Sally crouched down and cried out.
...
Jasper lowered his head and looked at Sally, who was crying in an inelegant posture. He rubbed his hands and got very anxious.
"Oh, stop crying, will you? Why are you crying?"
"Emmett was cursed by you in front of so many people, and you were really mean."
"You've said everything, but you're still crying?"
"I think Emmett and I really want to cry."
Jasper turned down the corners of his mouth and looked in the direction of the ceremony with a sorrowful expression.
"Bullshit! You men are all bastards! You're lying to us women!"
"You rich boys are even shittier!"
"Emmett wouldn't cry at all. He's a two-faced bastard. He lied to Elaine and got engaged just now!"
"Didn't you hear him? He said, 'I do.' He's happy to get engaged to that women, Maria or what!"
"He couldn't be happier now!"
"He's so despicable and shameless, yet he is the happiest now!"
"He would not cry at all."
Jasper sighed and shook his head.
"You women are childish."
"Tell me: do you think this ceremony is more important than Elaine's life?"
"What?"
Sally stopped crying. She was shocked and looked up at Jasper with tears.
"What does it have to do with her life? Don't scare me! Bastard!"
Jasper frowned and got annoyed.
"Thing are not all black and white as you think. There are many colors that are too dirty to be distinguished."
"Emmett ... Yes, he is the young master of the ZH Clan. He has power and the clan supports him. It is a big organization that has lasted for dozens of years."
"However, his father Atwood stills takes control of the Ninja."
"You probably have never heard of it. In short, Ninja is a group of assassins in the ZH Clan. But it's kind of above the whole clan."
"And Emmett is trying to take Ninja over bit by bit. He needs more time."
...
"You see Atwood today. You exposed your friend Elaine, and he definitely wants to kill her."
"Just now, Emmett got rid of Juliana. Atwood was really angry at him. You should know that Emmett hides his relationship with Elaine just to protect her."
"But you have exposed it all. Atwood would vent his anger on Elaine and chop her up."
"People in Ninja are all well-trained killers. They could easily kill Elaine."
"If it weren't for you, Emmett wouldn't have said that he was willing to marry Mariana. He has thought of a way to break off the engagement. It was all because of you. Girl, you opened a Pandora's box!"
"So, of course Emmett also wants to cry."
"He's the poorest guy!"
"He sacrificed much and took all the risks. You don't know the truth, yet you cursed him loudly."
"Poor Emmett, I know you must feel painful and helpless when you said yes."
Sally was stunned when she heard this.
The ZH Clan and Ninja really shocked her.
She was not that mad at all.
For some reason, she even started blaming herself.
Was she wrong?
Did she ruin their plan?
If she hadn't cursed and shouted at them, Elaine would stay safe.
If Atwood wanted to kill Elaine, Sally thought, she was a murderer too.
"Really? I don't want Elaine to die! I ... I just wanted to do something for her. She's so pitiful."
"If something happens to her, would Emmett blame me?"
"What should I do?"
Sally hated to know the story of a wealthy family's underground organization.

Jasper patted Sally's head.
"You get no guts now? I thought you are like Hazel. So, you are far less courageous than her."
"Is this scaring you? Someone just cursed Emmett in public."
"Don't make fun of me now. Hurry up and think of a way!"
Sally hit Jasper. Then she hugged his arm and pleaded helplessly.
"I said you're too short-sighted."
"Emmett just got engaged with Mariana today. He doesn't marry her. It's not a big deal."
"So what if Emmett agreed to marry her? It's only temporary."
"He can get married and divorced. An engagement is not even legally valid."
"You are too impulsive. You should just wait and see what Emmett was going to do. But you jumped out and ruined everything."
"Now you've forced Emmett to a dead end."
"And I don't know what to do."
"What? Is there nothing I can do?"
Sally's face twisted in regret, and she cried loudly.
Since she looked pitiful, Jasper could only comfort her,
"Alright, don't be too pessimistic. I know well about Emmett. If he wants to protect someone, he will come up with a thousand and one ways to keep her unscathed."
"And vice versa. If he wanted to kill anyone, he could also make it."
"Don't worry. Emmett will do everything to protect Elaine."
"Your friend is truly lucky. She looks dumb, but she wins Emmett's heart."
"How dare you to say mean things about my friend! You're dumb! Your whole family are dumb-ass!"
Sally shouted with tears.
Jasper was stunned. Women's mood changed so quickly.
They were still standing outside. Sally pouted her mouth and watched the ceremony with Jasper.
Marina smiled complacently. Everyone could see her face shining under the heavy makeup.
She cut the cake with Emmett.
She made a champagne fountain with Emmett.
...
Suddenly, Sally thought of a very important thing. She grabbed Jasper's sleeve and asked anxiously,
"So tonight, Emmett and Marina are going to sleep together? Will Emmett fuck her?"
Jasper was stunned for a moment. Then he was lost for words.
Fuck?
She just said this word naturally.
What was wrong with women nowadays? They became so open.
Jasper couldn't help but cough.
