Chapter 24 Protection Chapter 24 Protection Before Leah could get close to Emyr , Tad stepped in her way .
Ms.
Nelson , Mr.
Emyr doesnt like outsiders getting too close .
+5 Free Coins Sorry about that , Leah replied calmly , maintaining her poise .
Mr.
Emyr , the Nelson Group is facing a minor challenge , but with Jonahs capabilities , well be able to turn things around quickly .
I hope , considering the long standing friendship between our families , you can lend the Nelsons a helping hand .
Emyr rested one hand on the wheelchair and suddenly spoke up , Who told you to wear that necklace ? Leah , who had been feeling pleased that Emyr remembered her , froze in confusion .
Huh ? That was a birthday gift I gave to Ms.
Nelson .
Who would be so presumptuous as to wear it themselves ? Leahs face turned pale , her smile fa 21:10 Tue , Feb 25 Chapter 28 He Remembers Me Chapter 23 He Remembers Me 66 +5 Free Coins Alfred knocked on the door and entered , noticing the rare smile on Emyrs face , which caused his old eyes to crinkle into crescent shapes .
Looking at the lively and confident Charmaine on the screen , Alfred felt comforted .
Ms.
Nelson is a blessing for Mr.
Emyr ! Ahem , Mr.
Emyr , the Nelsons would like to pay a visit .
Emyrs expression returned to its usual composure as he tapped his chin with his long .
fingers .
Have Charmaine come over .
It was Leahs first visit to the Crosses , and she was completely stunned by the extravagant scene before her .
She had always thought the Crosses were similar to the Nelsons , but now that she was here , she realized just how narrow minded she had been ! Compared to the Crosses , the Nelsons could only be considered wealthy merchants , while the Crosses represented unimaginable riches ! Jonah , is the Crosses really this wealthy ? Jonah nodded .
The Crosses are the leading family among the five prominent ones ; the combined wealth of the other four doesnt even come close .
Leah was taken aback .
As the mechanical sounds drew nearer , she immediately put on her sweetest smile and turned her gaze toward the man in the wheelchair .
Even in their third meeting , she found herself mesmerized by Emyrs striking appearance .
She instinctively tightened her grip .
A guy like him , even if I dont want him , Charmaine not good enough for him ! Mr.
Emyr Jonah stepped forward , extending his hand in a gentlemanly manner .
But Emyr simply bypassed him and moved to the opposite side of the living room , putting 1/3 21:10 Tue , Feb 25 b .
Chapter 23 He Remembers Me distance between them .
Even seated in his wheelchair , he exuded an air of authority .
Can I help you ? 66 +5 Free Coins Jonah pulled back his hand , but didnt seem bothered .
Tm here to talk about a potential partnership with you , Mr.
Emyr .
Partnership ? Emyr scoffed .
Are you sure this isnt just something others have rejected that youre trying to shove onto the Crosses ? Charmaine happened to walk in through the side door just as she overheard their conversation .
Raising an eyebrow , she stopped walking and leaned against the wall , choosing not to enter .
After returning to the Nelsons in her previous life , she had Rex secretly help them clear many obstacles in their business .
Within a year , the Nelsons had caught up with other big families .
As a result , the Nelsons became over confident and arrogant .
Now , watching the formidable Emyr take on three of the Nelsons was quite amusing .
In the living room , Emyr openly pointed out their shortcomings , causing Jonahs expression to darken .
Meanwhile , Milo clenched his fists , struggling to contain his emotions .
If it werent for Jonahs repeated warnings not to act impulsively , he would have already lost .
his temper .
Whats there to be so arrogant about for a man in a wheelchair ? Although Leah looked down on the disabled Emyr , his handsome looks and unique elegance still made her heart race .
She found herself thinking that Emyr , even in a wheelchair , possessed more masculine charm than Jonah .
Who cares if we cant get married ? Having a guy like that obsessed with me isnt so bad , right ? A little idea popped into her head .
She stepped closer to Emyr , carrying a small basket .
Compared to her two brothers who showed their emotions openly , she seemed calmer .

She had a sweet smile and her eyes were all sparkly as she looked at Emyr I didnt have the chance to properly thank you last night for coming to my birthday party 2/8 21:10 Tue , Feb 25 b .
Chapter 23 He Remembers Me and for such a generous gift .
I made these match cookies myself .
Theyre just a small gesture , but I hope youll accept them , Mr.
Emyr +5 Free Coins As she spoke , she reached out her hand and bent down slightly .
A pink diamond necklace slid out from her green dress .
It hung there in a lovely curve .
Emyr looked at the woman before him , who was gazing at him intently , and asked , Youre Leah Nelson .
Leahs eyes widened in surprise .
Yes , Im .
He remembers me ? Milo instinctively stepped in front of Leah , eyeing Emyr with suspicion .
Emyr , I warn you dont get any ideas about Leah .
Watching Milo guard Leah like a beetle protecting its dung , Charmaine nearly laughed out loud .
She couldnt help but wonder what kind of enchantment Leah had cast on Milo to make him so protective .
She glanced over at Emyr and found him staring at Milo with a dumbfounded expression , as if the very air around them had been tainted .
Charmaine couldnt help but grin wider .
Leah secretly rolled her eyes at the interfering Milo and subtly inched closer to Emyr on the other side .
3/3 ltering .
The cool diamond necklace around her neck now felt painfully sharp against her skin .
Emyr gave them no respect his tone laced with mockery .
Youve already kicked my fiancée out of the Nelson family .
Without a fiancée , the engagement is off .
Who do you think you are to negotiate with me ? He glanced at Leah , her face flushed with shame and said with a sneer , Oh , the Nelsons are so clever with their little baby switching tricks .
But Im not falling for it .
At this point , all three of them could no longer keep their emotions in check .
Jonah frowned deeply .
Since Mr.
Emyr has no interest , we wont trouble today .
you any further He motioned for the others to leave , and the butler , Alfred , approached Leah , saying , Please return it .
Leah froze .
She looked over at Emyr , but the man , so dignified and untouchable , didnt even glance her way .
His silent indifference said it all .
Unable to bear such humiliation , she ripped off the diamond necklace and threw it back at 1/3 Tue , Feb 25 Chapter 24 Protection Alfred with force .
Once they left the small villa and got into the car Leahs tears broke free , streaming uncontrollably down her face .
Jonah , Milo , Im so sorry … Its all my fault for dragging everyone down .
Free Coins Jonah , weighed down by the setback theyd faced with the Cross , glanced at his sister .
Seeing her guilt , he couldnt help but offer comfort .
Leah , this isnt your fault .
Dont take it to heart .
Exactly , how is this your fault ? Its Emyr whos gone too far ! Milo quickly pulled out tissues to wipe Leahs tears , grumbling as he did .
Its all Charmaines fault , all of it ! Jonah frowned , clearly disagreeing with Milos outburst .
What does Charmaine have to do with this ? Its all because of her .
Ever since she came back home , everything has gone wrong .
Who else could be to blame but her ? If she hadnt broken off the engagement with the Crosses at this critical moment , with the engagement still in place , Emyr would have no reason to abandon us .
Milo slammed his fist on the seat , his frustration boiling over .
All the good fortune Leah brought to our family has been ruined by that jinx Charmaine .
So unlucky ! Jonah focused on driving and this time he didnt contradict Milos words .
He frowned , a storm of thoughts swirling in his mind .
Have you seen enough ? Charmaine strolled in through the side entrance hands casually behind her back .
As soon as Emyr saw her , he expressed his disdain .
You were so brave before , yet now youre cowering outside , scared by the Nelsons .
Charmaine smiled sweetly , all charm , Oh , I didnt want to come out and distract you your heroic deeds , Mr.
Emyr .
Emyrs disdain was palpable , even in the way he flicked his hair .
Flatterer .
Alfred and the others couldnt help but grin .
from Emyrs attitude toward Charmaine was a clear double standard compared to how he treated 2/3 21:11 Tue , Feb 25 Chapter 24 Protection everyone else .
Charmaine went around behind Emyr and started pushing his wheelchair .
Leaning in close , she whispered , I appreciate all your help , Mr.
Emyr .
What she said was true and came from her heart ! Neither the Reads nor the Nelsons ever really protected her .
Who would have thought Id find that kind of protection from my past life fiancé ? Its ironic , isnt it ? +5 Free Coins As she spoke , her breath lightly brushed against Emyrs ear , sending a slight shiver dow spine .
He subconsciously tilted his head and noticed a bit of her collarbone peeking out from her neckline .
Her skin was fair and as smooth as porcelain , and he could almost feel the warmth of it against his fingertips .
Emyrs eyes narrowed , and a dark look crossed his face .
