Chapter 138
“I wasn’t sure about the girl’s story at first. I mean, it’s tough to judge without all the facts. But a guy hitting someone? That’s just
wrong.

“Does having money really mean you can do whatever you want? Even if we’re just small fry, we still have our pride. Down with the rich jerks!
This is too much. We can’t let them get away with this!”
Niamh’s careful manipulation had really struck a nerve with the crowd, and they couldn’t help but pile on, making the accusations against Byron even more intense.
Byron’s face darkened. He had finally managed to meet up with Emily, and he wasn’t about to let anyone ruin her mood.
With that thought, Byron exchanged a knowing glance with Sophia and prepared to signal the staff to approach Niamh.
“Byron!”
Emily saw what he was about to do and called out to him.
Byron paused, looking at Emily, confused.
Emily didn’t respond to Byron but instead walked straight up to Niamh.
“Your tactics are crude, but effective. Blind followers are all the same. Feeling proud of yourself?” Emily didn’t hold back. She said whatever she wanted.
Sharp–tongued? So what.‘
As long as she was happy.
Niamh’s face turned ugly at being exposed.
But she quickly hid her resentment and said pitifully, “Emily, how can you say that about me? Even if I mentioned that you were disowned by the Johnson family, I was just stating the truth. Are you mad because it’s true?”
Emily chuckled, “I don’t care about that. You’re right, it is the truth.”
“Then why…
“What I want to say is, they are my followers, what right do you have to question them? And if Byron and Sophia achieved their success and earned their money because of family support, does that mean their achievements and money aren’t real? Are you out of your mind? Just because you’re mediocre doesn’t mean everyone else is.” Emily spoke coldly,
She was standing up for Byron and Sophia.
The two were deeply moved.

Niamh felt extremely embarrassed.
“You know that’s not what I meant. I’m just worried Sophia might go astray. As a family member, isn’t it right to be concerned?”

“The most annoying thing is when people use it’s for your own good‘ as an excuse to do things they don’t like. Instead of worrying about things you don’t understand, why not focus on improving your own abilities, rather than drifting between men?”
Emily had heard it’s for your own good” too many times. In her past life, she had often been trapped by such words.
By the way, let me remind you, I have a project for them, and they’ll be earning more than two million dollars. Let’s see if you still have the nerve to say just two million dollars.‘ From what I know, your family can’t even come up with two million dollars. It seems your family often relies on Sophia’s family for support.
You don’t know how to be grateful and try to make others misunderstand Sophia. What a way to repay kindness with malice!”
“…I didn’t!”
Niamh panicked. She couldn’t bear such accusations.
And she couldn’t let Sophia hear this. If Sophia’s father stopped supporting her family, her parents would definitely be furious.
Emily didn’t care about her worries.
She turned to the others and said, “Let’s go find a private room to eat, so we don’t run into more self–righteous people.”
The restaurant manager, noticing their upscale attire and guessing their affluent backgrounds, had been observing from the sidelines, not wanting to offend anyone.
Now, hearing Emily’s intention to end the drama, he was eager for it to be over. He quickly stepped forward and offered, “Please, let me arrange the best private room for you.”
Emily led the group to the private room.
Before the food arrived, Sophia and Byron couldn’t wait to ask, “Emily, what project are you talking about? Tell us!”
Of course, Byron hadn’t forgotten about Terry nearby, always feeling a sense of competition.
He was worried about losing his title as the top follower.
“And Emily, who is this guy? You promised I’m your number one follower. How many followers do you have?”
Byron, who usually had a fierce expression, now looked pitiful and aggrieved.
Anyone who saw this would be shocked.
Emily couldn’t help but twitch her lips.
Why did it feel like she was the villain here?

“Yes, yes, you’re the number one follower. Let me introduce you. This is Terry, the project leader. I’m planning a medical Af research project, and he’s an expert in this field. I don’t have enough time, so I’m entrusting it to him.”
Emily introduced Terry to Sophia and Byron.
Terry puffed out his chest proudly and greeted them, “Hey, I’m Terry.”
Since Emily trusted him, despite feeling a bit jealous, they smiled and greeted him, “Hey, Terry.”
Seeing them getting along, Emily continued, “I’ll give you the project plan and details later. You can decide if you want to invest after reviewing them. You two have priority for investment.”
This was her way of giving them an advantage.
