Before Nadia could react, she suddenly saw Wayne leading a group of people to the conference room. After knocking on the door, Wayne entered and said, "Mr. Watson, these police officers request our cooperation."Upon seeing the police officers and Maverick behind Wayne, Emilia's heart skipped a beat.Why was Maverick here? Did anyone here have something to do with a case? Otherwise, why would the police be here?Without waiting for Danny to speak, Emilia immediately assumed the role of the head of the company and stepped forward. She first greeted the incoming police officers, "Officers, please come in. Everyone here is part of the Watson family, and we will surely cooperate."Emilia's words elicited a chuckle from the old employees of the Watson family who were present. Wasn't she a part of the Cooper family just this morning? Now, she had seamlessly transitioned back to being a part of the Watson family. Emilia seemed to consider herself a chameleon.After welcoming the
"If you claim that I'm guilty, show us the evidence. Otherwise, if you continue to make a scene here, I won't spare you. I'll have security come in and throw you out immediately," Emilia said.After seeing Maverick's fearless expression, she felt even more puzzled.Could it be that he really had evidence?Maverick laughed coldly. "I see that you're not backing down until the end. You want to see evidence? Fine. I'll show it to you."With that, Maverick walked to the front of the meeting room's projector and began fiddling with it. The onlookers were unsure of his intentions, but their curiosity made them stay as they wanted to see how the situation would unfold.Danny looked at Emilia with concern and said, "Your brother is such a rascal. Why is he causing a scene when there are so many people?"Emilia replied helplessly, "I have no choice, Grandpa. My father has spoiled him, and he doesn't listen to me. He does everything to get money from me. "Today, he's probably here for
"Mr. Watson Senior, even if the kid was pulling a prank, you should still let the police investigate the matter. This is a murder we're talking about. We shouldn't treat it so carelessly.""Exactly. It's no use to shield Emilia without regard for the truth of the matter. If you stop this investigation now, the victim might be you in the future."Danny's expression wavered after hearing the two shareholder's words. He had raised Emilia since she was a child. He firmly believed that she would never do such a thing."What do you know?" Danny defended Emilia once more. "This is all just a dispute between two kids. We adults shouldn't interfere in their matters.Nadia and Alex, who were eating popcorn, couldn't help but smile bitterly at Danny's words.Even at this point, he was still speaking up for her. Those who didn't know might think Emilia was Danny's biological granddaughter instead.The police initially intended to take both Maverick and Emilia back to the police station to in
Everyone was amazed to see Mitchell appear in good condition.Danny seemed to sense something and suddenly shifted his gaze to Alex.Alex naturally felt the probing look from the old man, but he didn't even glance back. Instead, he focused on refilling Nadia's popcorn.Could it be that he had misunderstood him all along?Danny suddenly felt something he had never felt before. He couldn't shake the sense that Mitchell's presence here was somehow related to Alex.Thanks to Nadia, Danny had only found out about this matter earlier in the elevator. During this time, although it seemed like Emilia had taken over the Watson family, it was still under Alex's control.Upon hearing this, Danny suddenly felt proud. Only then did he realize that Alex was much more outstanding than Wade, even more so than when he was at his age. However, he couldn't understand why he hadn't noticed Alex's excellence before.As Danny thought about it, Mitchell's caretaker had already wheeled him to Emilia'
The conference room was silent. Everyone was fuming with anger as they cast furious and hateful glares at Emilia, wishing to rip her apart on the spot.Seeing this, Emilia took advantage of the moment before anyone could react and rushed toward the door."Stop!"The two police officers with years of experience were quick to sense something amiss and immediately stepped forward to block Emilia.With no way out, Emilia quickly reached the nearest window at the conference room entrance and opened it."Stay back! If you come any closer, I'll jump."The people present calmly watched Emilia's antics. No one had the intention to approach and persuade her to come down. Only the two police officers, facing the pressure, tried to persuade her."Come down, Ms. Cooper. The charges of murdering Mitchell and others haven't been confirmed. You still have a chance to redeem yourself. "As long as you cooperate with the investigation and confess, we will definitely request leniency for you from
The sudden turn of events brought back everyone's attention. The Watson Group building was tall, and they were on the 48th floor, the highest level. Falling from this height would likely leave nothing but a lifeless body.Alex and Nadia were the first to rush to the window."Emilia, release Grandpa now."Nadia coldly stared at Emilia. "Emilia, if you have any conscience left, release my grandpa immediately."The two police officers also looked nervously at Emilia. "Ms. Cooper, please stop making any further mistakes.""Yes. If you stop now, we can try to negotiate lenient treatment from the authorities. But if you harm Mr. Watson Senior, it will be too late for everything," the other officer added.The strong wind from outside turned Emilia's long hair into a mess. With her sinister smile, her disheveled look sent a shiver down everyone's spine.How was she not a villain?Everyone had been blind for treating Emilia as some kind of princess.There was madness in Emilia's eyes.
As Danny screamed, everyone in the room rushed toward Emilia. Just when they thought he was going to die, a knife flew out of nowhere and pierced her hand.She screamed and fell to the ground. Instantly, a black figure stepped forward and grabbed Danny's shaky body, pulling him in from the window.Narrowly escaping death, Danny leaned in the man's arms, gasping for breath. As for the others, their legs buckled, and they fell to the ground.Alex and Nadia were the first to react, taking Danny and the man who saved him away from Emilia.A knife pierced Emilia's right hand, and blood was oozing. She was about to faint, her face turning pale from the intense pain. Nadia looked at the man who saved Danny and thanked him softly, "Sir, thank you very much. Otherwise, something bad might have happened to my grandpa."Alex patted his shoulder. "Sir, what's your name? From now on, I consider you a friend. Whenever you need help, you can find me."The young man who saved Danny looked hand
"Dad, how could you do this to me? I'm your daughter!"Things had come to this point, but Emilia was still so shameless.The Watsons and other shareholders shook their heads. How did such a crazy woman deceive Danny?Suddenly, Ruth stepped forward and slapped her several times. "Do you think I don't know how I lost my daughter?"Ruth grabbed her hair and slammed her head against the wall. "I didn't want to mention it at first, but how dare you bring it up again? Even if you go to jail, I won't let your father go!"Upon hearing her words, everyone in the conference room, including Danny, was stunned.It sounded unbelievable. Was Nadia's disappearance related to the Coopers?As she hit Emilia, the police tried to persuade her to stop. Emilia's head was bleeding from the blow, but they still couldn't pull her away.It was the first time Nadia had seen this side of Ruth. She was fierce and completely different from her usually gentle demeanor. Alex chuckled. "Isn't Mom impressive
