"Emma, where are you? Ethan is getting married today at the Caesar Hotel. Did you know?"
Yuans voice on the phone was very anxious. It was the weekend, and Emma was at home, concentrating on her part-time design draft, when her friend Yuans call interrupted her.
"How could that be? Dont tease me. I havent even been proposed to by my Ethan." Emma smiled, thinking that Yuans lie was too ridiculous. Her boyfriend, Ethan, was getting married today, and as his girlfriend, she hadnt even reached the proposal stage yet.
"Emma, Im serious. I was notified last night, and I thought the bride was you. But when I arrived at the scene, I was shocked and hurried to call you."
"Are you telling the truth?" Hearing Yuans earnest tone, Emma suddenly had an ominous premonition and stood up nervously. She felt a chill down her spine and her hair stood on end. She asked again with a doubtful tone.
"Alright, Ill send you a photo of the scene."
Yuan sighed and hung up the phone.
"Ding-Ding-"
Two text message alerts sounded.
Emma hurriedly opened the text message photo to see what was going on.
The phone fell to the ground with a thud.
On the phone screen was a display from a hotel wedding venue, showing Ethan and a womans wedding photo. And this woman was Ethans so-called distant cousin.
Emma felt her head buzz suddenly, and then she couldnt hear anything. She felt dizzy and had difficulty breathing. She staggered a few steps on the spot and kept telling herself to stay calm.
She tried to adjust her breathing and slapped her cheeks with both hands to wake herself up.
She knew in her heart that she must not fall down at this moment. She had to go find Ethan and ask for an explanation.
Emma picked up her phone from the ground and rushed out the door.
On the busy road, Emma couldnt hail a taxi. She desperately ran into the middle of the road, looking for an empty car, disregarding traffic rules. Passers-by looked at her strangely, thinking she was crazy.
As she was weaving through the traffic, a Maserati came speeding towards her.
There was an emergency brake on the road, followed by a "bang."
Emma was knocked to the ground.
"Damn it!" Ethan frowned and muttered under his breath.
Although it was the crazy woman who didnt follow traffic rules, he had hit someone, so he prepared to get out of the car to check the situation.
Emma, who was knocked to the ground, climbed up from the ground, enduring the pain and limping to the car door. She bent down and slapped the drivers window with her scraped palm.
Ethan lowered the car window in confusion.
Emmas voice, full of tears, pleaded, "Please, please, take me to the Caesar Hotel, okay?" This sudden move stunned Ethan.
He looked at the woman outside the car. A woman in her early twenties, with a ponytail and slightly messy hair, but a delicate and lovely appearance, appeared in his eyes.
The womans plain face was pale, with small beads of sweat on her forehead. Her eyes were moist, showing a pleading look.
"Please, I really have something important to go to the Caesar Hotel. Please take me there, okay?"
Emma pleaded with the person in the car again. She was afraid that the person in the car would run away, so she tightened her grip with both hands, tightly holding Ethans left hand. Tears burst from her eyes, and the tears fell on the back of his hand.
"The scar on the back of this hand, could it be her?"
Ethans gaze followed the tears to the scar on Emmas hand, and his heart was suddenly touched. He stared at the 3-centimeter long scar on the back of her hand.
Seeing that the person in the car didnt respond, Emma continued to ask for help. She brought her face closer to the half-lowered car window and looked inside. She saw a handsome and handsome man staring at her hand, with a deep and meaningful look under his cold expression.
This man, she had seen him on a TV interview program, Ethan. President of the Qin Group.
Ethan, 28 years old. President of the Qin Group. Ranked in the top 10 of the global Forbes list, the company is involved in real estate, film and television, hotels, jewelry, and other multi-directional business developments around the world. He is a very influential figure in City A.
Ethan, who had just regained his senses, happened to meet Emmas small face close to the car window. Her delicate and lovely face was covered with tears, and her slightly swollen big eyes looked at him pitifully.
Ethan was touched by her eyes.
He said in a low voice, "Get in the car!" Emma felt that the magnetic and mellow voice was like a sound of nature.
As if grabbing a life-saving straw, she quickly opened the back door of the drivers seat and got into the car.
The car sped towards the Caesar Hotel.
Twenty minutes later, at the entrance of the Caesar Hotel, as soon as the car stopped, Emma hurriedly got out of the car.
Ethan looked at the limping back, lost in thought.
Emma felt that it was not only her leg, but her whole body was in pain.
Although the collision did not cause a major accident, she was still brushed by the car and fell two meters away.
Her palms and knees were scraped and bleeding. She guessed that she must have twisted her left foot during the collision, which was why she was limping now.
But she didnt care about that now. She only had one thing in her heart, which was to find Ethan as soon as possible and let him explain all this.
"Emma, stop right there." Ethans mother stopped Emma, who was walking towards the wedding venue.
"Auntie, where is Ethan? Let me see him." Emma turned to look at Ethans mother, and next to Ethans mother was Ethans sister, Song Ling.
Ethans mother slapped Emmas face with a loud slap, and scolded, "Get out of here, you are not welcome here." A unnatural red mark immediately appeared on Emmas pale little face.
Song Ling stood by with her hands on her hips, looking at Emma from head to toe with a look of disdain, and said coldly, "How dare you come here with such a mess. How can you be worthy of being our Song familys daughter-in-law? My brother was just playing with you, and you didnt really think he would marry you, did you?" Emma knew that the Song family despised her family background. Half a year ago, they specifically went to find her and warned her to leave Ethan.
Afterwards, she told Ethan about the incident, and he promised to properly handle the relationship between his family and her, so she didnt have to worry.
"Auntie, I want to see Ethan and have him explain clearly." Emma stubbornly raised her head and replied to Ethans mother in a tough tone, "You shameless, I still have a face. Today is Ethans big day, and many distinguished guests are present. Dont make trouble here, hurry up and get out." Ethans mothers face was full of disgust, and she just wanted Emma to disappear in front of her as soon as possible.
"Mom, dont waste time talking to her. The wedding is about to start. Lets kick her out first." With Ethans mother nodding, Song Ling called two security guards and asked them to drive Emma out of the hotel and not allow her to enter the hotel to disturb the venue order.
The security guards stood on the left and right sides of Emma, grabbed her arms, and dragged her towards the hotel.
"Let me go, let me go."
Although Emma struggled hard, she was powerless in front of two men. She could only watch herself being dragged out.
The Song family mother and daughter stood by, their faces showing a look of enjoying the show, watching Emma being dragged away by the security guards.
"Let her go." A mans voice came from a distance, commanding the security guards.
