Chapter 32
Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall
Chapter 32 It wasnât until Emma fought back with all her might for quite a while that Liam reluctantly let go of her. âLiam, I told you not to force a kiss on me it hurts!â
âWhere?â Li Liam asked Emma complained, âDonât you know how to kiss? How could you be so rough?â
Liam was indeed very excited just now, only focusing on taking her, unaware that a womanâs lips could be easily hurt.
His rough fingers pinched her chin, his gaze falling on her tender red lips, examining them seriously like he was examining an injury With a frown, he started, âItâs a bit swollen. Why didnât you say so earlier?â
âI had to have the chance to, didnât I...â Emma retorted. Moments ago, Liam didnât even give her a chance to breathe, let alone to speak, On the other side, Aria glared at the screen showing Liam and Emma in a passionate embrace, her teeth gritting with anger.
âDamn it! Why? After I sent Liam Hall those nasty photos of Emma, he didnât divorce her. Instead, their relationship seems even stronger now. I refused to accept it!â
She turned on her computer, intent on sending Liam more âdirtâ on Emma. However, the images on the screen vanished suddenly at that moment In the bedroom of covine Estate.
When Emma was pinned down on the bed by Liam, she felt an uncomfortable bulge on her back. She reached out to rummage and found a plush rabbit toy made of rabbit fur. âMr. Hall, I didnât expect thereâs such a girly thing in your room.â
When she lived in the countryside. Emma didnât get to play with fancy toys. She got handâmeâdowns fr from the older kids who didnât want them anymore.
i Now that she had grown up, she naturally lost interest in such trinkets. But seeing something like this in the room of a tough guy like Liam felt quite novel thinking you might like âOh, you mean this little bunny? A little girl gave it to me when I was out yesterday. I felt sorry for her, so I bought it, think it, Liam explained.
âYesterday?â Emmaâs vigilance didnât allow her to be careless. She recalled that Liam went out yesterday right after he got all steamed up in the study âWhen I came back yesterday, I saw blood on the floor of your studyâ Emma got straight to the point. âDid something happen?â
âNothingâ Liam didnât elaborate, and Emma didnât pry; she just looked at him for two seconds before shifting her attention back to the little rabbit Icovine Estate was a standalone villa with no neighbors nearby. Late at night, a little girl appeared here all by herself, and the timing was just too perfectâright after Liam Hallâs anger subsided. Emma couldnât help but be suspicious of all this.
She e stared into the rabbitâs eyes, then picked up a knife. With a swift cut, she gouged out the little rabbitâs eyes.
1/3 O ZE Chapter 32 Seeing her actions, Liam immediately understood something. Is there something wrong with this rabbit!â
âLook,â Emma remained expressionless, using the knifeâs tip to pick out a black round pellet from the toy rabbitâs transparent eyeball âSomeoneâs spying on us.â Emmaâs tone was terrifyingly calm.
When Liam saw the miniature camera, his face turned icy cold. Yesterday, he was so furious that he let his guard down.
Fortunately, Emma immediately sensed something was off. Otherwise, they would have lived under surveillance for who knew how long âIâll nab this person right away,â Liam snapped. The cause and effect were strung together: first the emails and then the surveillance; the other party was clearly targeting him and Emma. âHow despicable!â he cursed inwardly.
âNo rush,â Emma said. âNow that weâve found her camera, she should make a new move soon. We might as well sit back and watch.â Deep down, she had a pretty good idea of who it was. Such sneaky and clumsy tricks were definitely not the work of the mysterious organization, and most likely not Brad, but rather the Wilson family or the Taylor family.
Aria found herself in a state of extreme anxiety after the camera she had set up was out of control. âHave I been exposed again?
Or were the cameras malfunctioning?â
She was terrified that Liam would come after her and couldnât sleep a wink for several days. To her delight, Liam still didnât act after three days:
Aria felt a bit more at ease, thinking it was most likely a camera malfunction and that she was not at immediate risk of exposure.
She soon launched a second wave of action. Since Liam did not care about the photos of Emma, she decided to target Emma directly.
Emmaâs wounds were mostly healed after three days. When she returned to school, her classmates all came to check on her upon hearing she was sick âEmma, this is the best wound medicine from my momâs pharmacy. Remember to apply it as per the instructions, and you wonât have any scarst one of her classmates said.
âYeah, Emma, let us grab lunch for you at the cafeteria today. You donât have to run around.â Another classmates volunteered The world of students was ultimately simple. Knowing Emma was academically strong and physically capable, everyone wanted to be her friend, Emma didnât stand on ceremony. After a few cory days of ârestingâ at school, she made a bunch of new friends.
One day after class, her classmates couldnât resist their curiosity any longer and approached Emma for some gossip. âHey, Emma, thereâs been talk around school that you and the eldest son of that famous Hall family are... you know... is it true?â
âAre what?â Emma was bewildered.
âYou know... like, a romantic relationship!â
âGuess.â Emma neither denied nor admitted it. The incident with the assassins had only made her confirm that the time had not yet come to make her relationship with Liam public.
A few girls went on with the gossip, âSince you didnât say yes, weâll just assume itâs all rumors.â
âExactly With Queen Emmaâs bold and straightforward personality, what wouldnât she dare to admit?â
20 12:54 Sat, 6 Jul Chapter 32 âitâs best if itâs not true. I heard weâre getting a new teacher!â
âHuh? A new teacher? Could this teacher have something to do with Liam?â
Emma seemed to be casually flipping through a book, but in reality, her ears were perked up.

The person who first got the scoop chimed in, âYou guys donât know this. So thereâs this new teacher. Rumor has it sheâs the fiancée of the current head of the Hall family, Brad Hall, who has never been on good terms with Liam and has been suppressing Liam all these years. If Emma is Liamâs girlfriend, the new teacher is bound to target her!â
Upon hearing this, Emma smirked dismissively, thinking, âDoes a nameless woman think she can bully me? How naive!â
However, her smirk was interpreted by her classmates as a relief after escaping a disaster.
imate, your âEmma, see? I told you itâs best not to be Liamâs girlfriend. This new teacher is here to teach us art. If sheâs out to get you on purpose, annual scholarship and art grades are gonna take a hit!â a girl explained..
Emma seemed intrigued, squeezing her fingers. âWhatâs the name of the teacher youâre talking about?â
