Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall

Chapter 70
Elsie frowned as she said, "I didn't do it on purposel Besides, your master has already sold it to me! Since it's sold, it's mine! No one can play
tricks!"
All protégés of Theo now looked somewhat displeased.
They thought, 'She's clearly the one who violated the rules first. How come she's accusing us of playing tricks?'
Emma had anticipated that Elsie would throw a tantrum. She turned to one senior protégé and said, "Tell your master that I want this "Serenity' today.
"What a joke," Elsie said. "This thing was clearly bought by me first!"
She was so angry that she laughed. "Besides, do you know how much it's worth?" she continued. "Can you afford to buy it just because you want it? It's simply laughable!"
The onlookers looked at Emma, dressed in a black t-shirt and black pants, and thought she didn't look like she could afford it. They immediately mocked her secretly.
"Haha. This woman is here to cause trouble, right?"
"Looking down-and-out yet talking big. Does she think she can become someone like Mr. Rivera too?"
"She can't even afford a gown at a banquet, and she wants to buy 'Serenity'?"
"She probably escaped from some mental hospital, right? How scary"
Even Theo's protégés frowned one after another.
'Our master's artworks are priceless, they thought. 'How can anyone buy it just because they want to?"
"Miss, it's true that our master's artworks can't be sold to people who have
bought pirated or counterfeit products. However, this doesn't mean anyone can buy them."
Emma was expressionless, and her eyes were cold.
She thought, I know Theo's artworks have strict requirements for making a purchase, but that's for everyone else except mel"
She calmly took out a badge exclusive to her and spread out her palm to the leading senior protégé, asking "Not even me, huh?"
ong until he saw the octagram in
The senior protégé had been muttering about how this woman could not discern between right and wrong Emma's palm. Then, he was instantly dumbfounded.
"It's the silver badge of Octagram, he thought.
Everyone under Theo's tutelage knew about the exclusive symbol.
The senior protégé asked, "You, you are..."
Emma gestured for him to keep quiet.
She didn't want everyone to know her identity.
Her fingers were slender, and her eyes were cold.

Wearing a mask and hat, her facial features could not be seen clearly.
However, her eyes were extremely beautiful.
Once, when she traveled the world as Stox, she saved Thea's life in Starham.
From then on, Theo had set another rule for all protégés. If they encountered Stox, no matter what request she made, they

hey had to compl
comply
Now that they saw the "proof of identity", they were naturally shocked.
The senior protégé hadn't recovered from his astonishment yet.
Emma said leisurely, "Now, can this thing be sold to me?"
"Of, of course! No. Master Theo said we can give it to you directly if you want it. There's no need to purchase..."
Emma did not allow them to reveal her identity. Naturally, Theo's protégés would not dare to say that the woman in front of them, who wore a black hat and a mask, was the world-famous Stox.
Elsie was puzzled.
Unable to accept this sudden change, she said angrily, "What do you mean by doing that? You've already taken my money. How can you sell
it to someone else?"
Emma said, "Elsie, you were the one who violated the rules first, and...
She then took a step forward and removed her black mask.
Under the starry night, her smile was captivating
"Your mouth wasn't injured enough that night," she said. "If I had known, I would
have made you unable to speak at all!"
When Elsie saw Emma's face, she was so frightened that she immediately
shouted. She even dropped the microphone.
The people below the stage saw Elsie retreating step by step, but because the microphone had fallen to the ground, they could not hear their
conversation.
Elsie asked, "You! Are you a human or a ghost?"
Emma spoke on stage with a voice that only she could hear. "Very surprised that I'm not dead, huh? Not only am I not dead, but Liam is not dead either! On the other hand, you... Your good days have come to an end..."
Emma timed it accurately.
While she was standing in a quiet corner in the shadows earlier, she heard the sound of sirens outside the venue of the charity gala.
She and Liam coordinated their actions.
She came to humiliate Elsie, while Liam gathered evidence about Elsie harming
people.
He had been lying low for many years. He had even taken the risk of getting hit by a car and not being able to survive.
It was all for this moment of taking down Elsie in one fell swoop.

Just as Emma finished talking, the police happened to walk in.
The initially luxurious and glamorous charity banquet instantly became solemn.
The police controlled the entrances and exits.

The first few uniformed police officers who were leading the group walked onto the stage and showed Elsie their police identification cards in front of everyone.
"We suspect you're involved in a hit-and-run murder case and an arson attack,"
a police officer said. "Please come with us."
Elsie widened her eyes in disbelief.
She thought Emma and Liam were already dead.
Unexpectedly, they were just plotting in secret.
She thought, 'They have long planned everything, deliberately making me lower
my guard. Then, they wait for me to be arrested in front of so many people at the
banquet today!"
Elsie was really flustered this time.
"Sir, how could I possibly be involved?" she said. "I'm the mistress of the Hall family. My husband is still in Ralbridge. My son is Brad. I...”
"There's no need to explain," a police officer said. "Let's talk at the police station!"
The police were impartial, completely disregarding whose wife or mother she
was.
Emma and Liam had long prepared everything meticulously.
The Information that was sent over was irrefutable evidence.
If Liam wasn't very certain, he wouldn't have risked his life.
A pair of cold handcuffs was immediately placed on Elsie's hands.
Amidst the shock of all the guests, she was taken away.
The atmosphere of the banquet instantly became extremely tense.
No one could have thought that the wife of the respectable Simon would be taken away by the police in front of everyone like this.
moments ago. Now, she is actually a murderer who has been taken away in
Everyone thought, 'She was still the center of attention just mo handcuffs! The
higher one is raised, the harder one will fall!'
The scene erupted into commotion. Everyone's attention shifted naturally to Emma.
The people below the stage who had looked down on her earlier now had a hint
of fear in their eyes as they looked at her.
They thought, 'There are only a few people in Troln City who can bring Elsie
down. Who exactly is this woman?"
They saw Emma with her back facing the podium, putting on her mask and hat
again.

When Brad got word of it, Elsie had already been taken away.
It was too late.
He saw the final shot of Emma, and his face got extremely gloomy.
"Emma,' he thought. 'Liam actually has such a woman by his side. I'll soon uncover her identity!'
