Chapter 210

William pointed to the seat behind Emily, where several beautifully wrapped paper bags were still sitting.

Emily glanced at them and kept walking forward without looking back. She waved her hand, "They're yours. From your expression earlier, you don't seem to hate eating these sweets. Trust me, eating more desserts helps with dopamine production!"

"I'm a guy..."

Before William could finish, Emily had already entered the residential complex.

Not far away, the security guard stationed at the gate saw Emily coming back.

He rushed over enthusiastically, "Emily! Look at this—is this the church you went to before? I saw it on the news. They're called Light Feather Church. Pretty impressive! They're providing jobs for ordinary people with good salaries. Now that's what I call God loving the world!"

Emily looked at the flyer the guard handed her.

They could even arrange decent retirement jobs for seventy-year-olds. Below it showed that registered members of their Light Feather Church had daily online numbers reaching millions of dollars.

That was no small figure!

Emily was shocked and stood there stunned.

"I was thinking, didn't you attend one of their church events before? What's it really like inside? Tell me more. I saw they said many people my age who went there got jobs paying ten thousand dollars a month. I'd like to give it a try too."

The guard rubbed his hands together, his face showing a conflicted and awkward expression.

Emily could actually understand what the guard was thinking right now.

He just wanted to find a high-paying job—what was wrong with that?

However, Emily still analyzed it seriously with him, "At this point, I don't know if they actually have the ability to arrange those jobs for everyone. The church's scale has indeed grown quite large recently, but I think it's not very reliable."

"Why do you say that? I heard that Everett, the big steel materials boss from Harbor City, joined this church. Last time he was even handing out money on the street. I was on duty here that day and missed it—everyone got money!"

As the guard spoke, he excitedly slapped his thigh repeatedly, his face full of regret, as if he'd missed out on ten million dollars!

Emily nodded, "True, I was there that day when Everett was handing out money. But I always feel something's off about this. Why would someone just give away all the money they earned? Helping everyone find jobs for free?"

What she wanted to say was that Everett had many debt lawsuits against him before, and this person's reputation in Harbor City was terrible.

It was purely because of this Light Feather Church that overnight, Everett's public opinion was reversed.

Even so, Emily never believed from start to finish that this Everett had turned over a new leaf and become a good person.

Hearing Emily's opinion, not only did the guard not back down at all, he became even more excited and said loudly, "If you put it that way, then I get it! He must be doing this because he made too much money before. People say it's lonely at the top. With all that money and not a single close friend around him, he must feel empty and lonely, so now he wants to give back to society."

"It would be good enough if he didn't take revenge on society..."

Emily looked at the expression on the guard's face. She wanted to persuade and stop him, but the words were already on the tip of her tongue, and she had to force herself to swallow them back.

Isn't there a saying—blocking someone's path to money is like killing their parents?

She had no deeper connection with the security guard, so why should she stop him? If it turned out that Everett really had a change of heart this time and was willing to find high-paying jobs for everyone, and the guard missed this opportunity, wouldn't he hate her to death?

After returning home, Emily washed up and lay in bed, repeatedly browsing recent online public opinion.

Netizens from all over the country, many of whom had no jobs before and were sleeping under bridges as homeless people, were all trying to get to Harbor City and their city. Many said they had registered as Light Feather Church members before.

This church was even directly giving five hundred dollars to newly registered users.

This was too crazy![Oh my God, this church must be a messenger sent by God, just to save us poor people!]

[Everett and his people are so good! People living in Harbor City who work at his building materials market are so lucky!]

[If only I could meet Everett in person. I wish I could be with a man like him.]

Emily looked at these comments and felt utterly helpless.

Had these people forgotten that just before, everyone was still denouncing and cursing Everett online, saying that capitalists like him should die?

Now they were all clamoring one after another, saying that Everett was a great philanthropist.

This world was too crazy!

Emily tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and casually took screenshots of all these comments and sent them to Olivia.

Unexpectedly, even though it was almost dawn, Olivia still hadn't gone to sleep.

Olivia replied almost instantly: [Anyway, I think this church isn't that simple. There must be something wrong with it. If this person were anyone else, fine, but he's Everett! Before, when his worker died in an accident, he even wanted the worker's family to compensate him for his losses! That this kind of person could have a change of heart and provide everyone with high-paying jobs, and is willing to provide retirement for elderly people—it's simply ridiculous!]

Emily closed her eyes, and she forgot how she dozed off in a daze.

When she opened her eyes again, it was already noon the next day.

Her phone had almost been blown up with calls!

Emily glanced at the caller ID notifications—most of them were calls from the police station.

She immediately called Delilah back, "What's wrong, Delilah? You called me so many times today. Did something happen at the station?"

"Of course! Something happened—something big! You don't know how amazing Captain Carr and his team are. They just got to Lumaria and already found Bronte's hideout there. Not only that, he said he's already found where the children are."

"Also, we were supposed to interrogate Bronte today. Didn't you say you were in charge? Our Jonathan also said he wanted to sit in. But you didn't answer your phone this morning and didn't come over, so this task was temporarily handed over to Captain Brown."

"Okay, got it. I'll get ready now and come right over!"

Emily jumped out of bed like she'd been injected with adrenaline, incredibly excited, and headed out without any hesitation.
