Violette was at a loss for words. She had no clue where the money came from. But she knew Emily well enough to trust her; she had never seen her with any shady characters.
Bianca noticed Violette’s hesitation and felt a surge of triumph. If Violette couldn’t explain, wasn’t that basically admitting Emily’s money had a sketchy origin?
A young girl with no obvious skills suddenly rolling in dough–did she hit the jackpot overnight? Even if she did, buying a mansion like this wouldn’t be a walk in the park.
Once prejudice sets in, it’s tough to see things in a positive light.
Bianca looked at Emily with a pained expression. “Emily, how could you… Why would you leave the Johnson Villa and rely on another man? You’re betraying yourself and James, who loves you so much!”
James’s anger was palpable, his veins bulging as he sneered, “Violette’s basically admitted your money’s shady. What do you have to say for yourself? Tell me, who is that guy?”
“You can’t achieve anything, so you blame your dirty thoughts on me. Don’t pollute me with your filth; you’re making the air around here.
stink!”
Emily waved her hand as if to clear the air, genuinely disgusted.
She turned to Violette, “Violette, show them out. They’re not welcome here, and don’t let them in again!”
Violette had finally seen through Bianca’s disdain for Emily, evident in every word she spoke.
She stepped forward to escort them out. “You two, please leave!”
James, enraged by Emily’s indifferent attitude, lost his composure and suddenly grabbed Emily’s arm.
“Today, you won’t escape. You’re mine unless I say otherwise. Tell me, who is that man?”
James practically spat out the words through gritted teeth.
“Are you crazy? We broke off our engagement. Even if I did find someone else, it has nothing to do with you!”
Emily tried to shake off James’s grip, but he held on tight. Frustrated, she slapped him with her free hand.
James, seemingly unfazed, licked his cheek where she had slapped him, but didn’t let go. Instead, he stared intensely at Emily. “Tell me, who owns this house? If you don’t tell me today, I’m not leaving.”
Bianca noticed James’s red eyes and sensed something was wrong.
She tried to intervene, “James, calm down…”

Chapter 123
“Why do you want to know?”
A cold, authoritative voice rang out from the doorway.
His voice was so distinctive and commanding that everyone turned their attention to him.
Daniel stood there, wearing a casual shirt and white pants. Despite the youthful attire, his noble and powerful presence was impossible to ignore.
Bianca’s eyes widened.
Why was Daniel here?
Was he here to support Emily?
How could that bitch Emily get Daniel to stand out for her again and again?
James had seen Emily with Daniel once before, but now, seeing Daniel at Emily’s house so openly, did it mean he visited often?
At that moment, Biscuit and Cloudy heard the commotion and ran out. Biscuit, following Cloudy’s lead and recognizing Daniel as a familiar face, wagged his tail and enthusiastically greeted him, circling his feet.
It was clear they were very familiar with him, treating him like their owner.
Bianca’s eyes darkened.
James felt his suspicions confirmed and momentarily forgot that Daniel was the powerful and cold–hearted head of the Smith family.
“Daniel, I didn’t say the man was you. Are you admitting it by coming here?”
James glared at Daniel with hostility.
Bianca was shocked.
James was insane to speak to Daniel like that. If he offended Daniel and lost his inheritance, what would happen to her, who had offered herself to him and planned to marry him?
Bianca quickly tried to explain, “Mr. Smith, please don’t misunderstand. James isn’t targeting you; he’s just upset and speaking irrationally.”
“Shut up!”
James didn’t appreciate her help and snapped at Bianca.
He continued to stare down Daniel. “Daniel, why aren’t you answering? Are you too guilty to respond?”
“James, if you want to act crazy, do it at your place. Get out!”
Emily took advantage of James’s distraction and forcefully shook him off, shouting coldly.

Chapter 123
*James!”
Caught off guard, James stumbled backward, nearly falling.
Bianca screamed, her voice breaking.
Fortunately, James managed to grab the railing and steady himself.
James hadn’t expected Emily to be so ruthless. He looked at her, his eyes red, unsure if he was hurt or angry.
“You’d risk my life for Daniel? Emily, I never knew you could be so cold–hearted.”
James laughed bitterly.
He turned to Daniel. “Daniel, is a woman like her worth your attention? Someone so heartless and unprincipled, how could she be worthy
of you?”
James’s eyes were full of contempt for Emily.
“Shut up!”
Daniel sneered. “She’s wonderful! The problem is you. I don’t need your opinion on my choices!”
Emily was stunned.
