Chapter 194: Alexander is in Danger, Come Quickly!
Emilia is the most beloved daughter of this generation in the Hughes family.
The secretary hesitated a bit: "Mr. Maurice Hughes, if something happens to Emilia, I'm afraid it'll be hard to explain to Mr. Anthony Hughes."
"Grandpa dotes on her just because he hopes she can fetch a good price and bring a good marriage alliance to the Hughes family. Didn't he find a new daughter? Let that Esme take her place."
Esme was different from Emilia. Esme was obviously a fool - this type of person had ambition but no brains, making her the easiest to manipulate.
"Go tell that Esme, as long as she can get rid of Emilia, she'll be part of the Hughes family from now on!"
The secretary understood - Maurice was planning to pin the blame on Esme.
Maurice had always held a grudge about Emilia driving his mother out of the Hughes family years ago, and had always believed that his mother's car accident was also orchestrated by Emilia.
Whether Esme could deal with Emilia or not, Maurice had nothing to lose either way.
"Yes, I'll go find Esme right away."
Emilia walked out of The Hughes Manor and stretched, her willow-thin waist swaying gently.
A hand silently gripped her waist, and before Emilia could react, covered her mouth and nose, dragging her into a car parked by the roadside!
Emilia's eyes widened!
"Ms. Hughes, you'd better cooperate with me, otherwise I can't predict whether you'll return to The Hughes Manor horizontally or vertically."
The voice was cold, carrying a thin layer of chill. The sharp blade pressed against Emilia's delicate skin also felt icy.
Emilia's brain raced, then suddenly she burst into tears.
"I don't want to die, I'll cooperate with whatever you want! Do you want me to take off my clothes? I can do that! Just let me live!"
George's hand was on Emilia's neck, his thumb and forefinger clamping her jaw, pushing back her sobbing voice.
"It's not that complicated. I'm taking you somewhere, you just need to help me identify some territory."
"Okay, as long as you don't kill me, I'll do whatever you want!"
George looked at Emilia acting like she'd give up everything just to survive, and his head suddenly ached a bit.
This spoiled Emilia from the Hughes family really didn't play by the rules.
Meanwhile.
Catherine's motorcycle was parked by the roadside. At the intersection ahead stood several people wearing Blade of Dusk clothing, staring unfriendly at Catherine and Juniper standing at the intersection.
This was Juniper's first time seeing such a scene. She was both excited and scared, her voice trembling.
"Catherine, don't be afraid, I'll protect you!"
Catherine's gaze swept over those men, quickly assessing their combat ability, while casually saying: "Okay, thanks for that."
The men's eyes locked on Juniper and Catherine, striding toward them and quickly surrounding them.
"Come with us!"
Catherine's hand gently landed on the back of Juniper's neck, saying softly: "Juniper, take a rest."
Juniper's eyelids suddenly grew heavy, and she fell into Catherine's arms.
Catherine didn't even lift her eyelids, her tone flat.
"Keep it down, you've got five minutes."
The men were still confused when suddenly a dozen people flipped over the low wall by the roadside!
Mercury held an electric baton, grinning wickedly: "You've got some nerve. It's shameless things like you who made me lose two years' salary!"
"Five minutes is too much for these guys, you're underestimating us."
The Blade of Dusk group was stunned. They'd been following the two women the whole time and hadn't seen anyone with them!
Where did these people come from?
Three minutes later, the dozen or so Blade of Dusk members were all on the ground. Jared and the Faceless Ones came and left quickly.
"Boss, George is on his way. We'll leave this to you, we're heading to the next location!"
"Got it, I'll catch up with you guys later."
A surprised voice came from the intersection.
"These are all core members of Blade of Dusk, and they were taken down just like that?"
Meeting Emilia's shocked gaze, Catherine said flatly: "They won't die."
The Blade of Dusk members just had some wounds, their limbs immobilized, and could only watch Catherine and the others with open eyes.
They hadn't even processed what happened before they were taken down!
Emilia patted her rather ample chest, didn't ask anything else, and directly rushed over to grab Catherine's hand and plop down on the ground. The next second, she put on a crying face.
George arrived at the intersection with police officers, and what he saw was Catherine holding the unconscious Juniper, with Emilia wailing beside them.
Emilia cried out: "Save us! These people came out of nowhere and tried to attack us."
The Blade of Dusk members fell silent.
They were the ones who got taken down, okay?
This was clearly a lie!
George bent down to pick up the unconscious Juniper, pulled Catherine up, his eyes full of concern and care.
"Catherine, are you both okay? Why did Juniper pass out?"
Catherine pointed at the wide-eyed Blade of Dusk members on the ground, "They did it, I don't know either. Juniper seemed to have fainted."
"Don't worry, I'm here now!"
Emilia looked at the Blade of Dusk members on the ground and said in a low voice: "You know whether your hands are clean or not. Whatever really happened today, you're the ones who did it."
Although Emilia didn't know what happened, she was clear that the scene she saw must be related to Catherine.
Everyone has secrets - curious people usually don't live long!
Blade of Dusk recognized the Hughes family members and had dealt with Emilia before. Hearing her words, they assumed the Hughes family was behind it and gritted their teeth in silence.
Emilia tugged at Catherine's sleeve, "Catherine, give me a hand."
Catherine casually pulled Emilia up from the ground.
Under George's direction, the Blade of Dusk members were quickly taken away, not one left behind.
George's gaze fell on the surveillance camera at the intersection, looking thoughtful.
Juniper opened her eyes and was a bit surprised to see George's face.
"George, how did you get here? I remember I seemed to have passed out. How's Catherine?"
"I'm glad you're okay. Why did you suddenly pass out just now?"
Juniper shook her head blankly, "Probably something the Blade of Dusk people did, I don't remember. Good thing you came!"
George was relieved to see Catherine and Juniper were fine.
Emilia looked at George, hugging Catherine's arm, saying pitifully: "Catherine, George is so scary, he almost strangled me just now!"
George didn't know that Emilia and Catherine were actually on good terms. He felt a bit awkward and coughed twice in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, it's just because you're most familiar with Blade of Dusk, so I wanted you to lead the way. I apologize for the offense!"
Emilia's mother was the only daughter of the Blade of Dusk leader, but she had an accident in a gang fight years ago, which gave Maurice's mother a chance to take her position.
"Wouldn't it have been easier to just say you came to save Catherine!"
George knew he'd been a bit rude earlier and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, I apologize to you."
Emilia clearly wasn't buying it, "An apology doesn't help much!"
Catherine looked at the message on her phone.
[Boss, the situation at Nightfall isn't looking good, come quick.]
