The man naturally noticed Emily's scrutiny and knew what she was thinking. He played along and said, "Miss Jones, our master knows about the deep hatred between you and Deanna. This woman has also offended our master. Our master said that if you make this woman disappear forever, she will help you with anything."
"Even illegal things?" Emily raised an eyebrow, finding the man's tone quite bold. She then expressed her dissatisfaction, "Who is your master? If she wants my help, why doesn't she come herself? Being so secretive and still wanting people to do things for her, isn't that too insincere?"
The man frowned, a flash of displeasure in his eyes, clearly unhappy with Emily's attitude. But remembering his master's instructions, he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "You are not qualified to know who my master is right now. Just tell me if you agree to deal with Deanna. Of course, if you need help, we can provide manpower."
These last few words made Emily somewhat tempted. How could she not want to deal with Deanna? She dreamed of seeing Deanna suffer and be abandoned by Lance, which would make her own life look better in comparison. Besides the mysterious person she relied on, she had no one else. Even if she wanted to deal with Deanna, she had no one to help her.
In the end, her hatred outweighed the mysterious person's warnings. "I am naturally willing to do anything to make Deanna suffer. But how much do you know about Deanna? You should know that Deanna has many backers now. If there is no absolute certainty, I don't want to make a move again. Otherwise, one wrong step could implicate me."
Emily looked up without agreeing or refusing. The man was somewhat dismissive of her words. "Isn't that woman's backer just Lance? Our master can handle him." However, this made Emily shake her finger.
"That woman's backers are not just Lance. According to the information I received, besides Lance, there is also a hidden family behind her, the Martinez family." Emily shared the information she got from the mysterious person.
She paused and continued, "Not only that, but it seems that someone from the top is also looking after her. To be honest, I don't dare to confront Deanna head-on now because I value my life. If any of Deanna's three backers find out about me, I won't have a good ending."
The man's expression became serious. Lance and the Martinez family were known to their master, but if someone from the top was looking after Deanna, this matter needed to be reconsidered. However, he did not plan to share this with Emily.
He said calmly, "If that's the case, it seems we have no chance to cooperate this time. Miss Jones, please go ahead." Emily was stunned because she didn't expect the man to dismiss her so straightforwardly. She thought he would try to persuade her more.
"Although there is no chance to cooperate this time, if your master wants to deal with Deanna and needs help, you can find me. After all, no one knows Deanna better than I do." After saying this, she nodded at the man and left the private room with some regret in her heart.
But she quickly suppressed this regret. Since the other party hated Deanna as much as she did, they would definitely make a move against Deanna. She just needed to wait.
With this thought, she adjusted her mood and headed towards Howard Group. However, it seemed like fate didn't want her to meet Raphael today. Just as she reached the building of Howard Group, she received a call from her mother's hospital.
"Miss Jones, can you come to the hospital? Your mother suddenly went crazy and hurt several of our nurses." "How could this happen? I'll be right there!" Emily's face changed abruptly as she hung up the phone and called for a car to go to the hospital.
Logically speaking, Mia should have been discharged two days ago since she was only overly frightened and not injured. But Emily was worried that Deanna might still target her mother and thought that staying in the hospital with more people and nurses would be safer.
In fact, this was true. After Lance learned that Mia stayed in the hospital, he ordered his men to stop the original plan and start Plan B. Plan B involved using psychiatric drugs to trigger Mia's darkest memories. After two days of medication, Mia had reached her breaking point.
So Emily received the news and rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible. She saw her mother tied to the hospital bed with a white cloth stuffed in her mouth, struggling painfully.
"Who allowed you to treat my mother like this? Untie her immediately!" She angrily scolded the nurses and doctors in the ward.
Hearing this, the doctors and nurses showed dissatisfaction but suppressed their anger due to their professionalism and explained, "Miss Jones, we did not intend to offend your mother. She went crazy and started shouting 'Olivia you bitch' at everyone and attacked our nurses with a knife. I suggest taking your mother to the psychiatric department for an evaluation."
