Chapter 283

Emily sneered, "Who cares about your money? Stop hiding and come out."

"Who... who are you?"

Hearing this voice, Elowen looked like she had seen a ghost. She was even more panicked than before and accidentally tripped over something, falling to the ground.

Emily found it suspicious and didn't want to waste time. She signaled her bodyguard to kick the door open and rushed in.

The moment Elowen saw Emily appear, she let out a piercing scream.

"A ghost!"

"Don't come after me, it wasn't me..."

Seeing Elowen's hysterical state, the bodyguard immediately stepped in front of Emily to protect her.

Emily didn't know what had driven Elowen to this madness, but no matter what tricks she had up her sleeve, she had to be taken back today.

She motioned for the bodyguard to step aside and walked up to Elowen, speaking in a low voice, "Elowen, I've been looking for you for a long time. Stop pretending to be crazy."

"You killed my mother. How could I ever let you go? From the day you escaped from the hospital, you should have known what your fate would be."

As Emily approached, Elowen's face turned even paler, as if she was terrified.

She hugged her head with both hands, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

How could Emily be here?

This was impossible!

She had planned everything perfectly. The other party had assured her there would be no mistakes. She had even heard on the phone that Emily's car was on the Bridge of Horizons...

The explosion had happened. How could Emily be standing in front of her alive?

Wasn't she supposed to die in that explosion?

What was going on?

No, this must be an illusion. Emily is dead. This isn't Emily. My plan couldn't have gone wrong...

Elowen curled up, muttering to herself, as if she had suffered a severe mental breakdown.

Seeing this, Emily didn't bother to say more. She ordered her people to tie Elowen up and take her away.

They then rushed back to Emerald Heights.

As Emily's car sped down the road, it happened to meet Ezra and Gray at an intersection.

Seeing the Wilson family vehicle, especially Emily's personal car, Ezra and Gray didn't hesitate. They parked their car and ran over.

After thoroughly checking Emily's condition, Ezra and Gray finally realized what had happened in the past hour.

Ezra and Gray seemed even more anxious and worried than she had imagined.

"Ezra, why are you here too?" Emily asked curiously, seeing how anxious Ezra was.

"What do you think? You almost scared us to death. Why didn't you tell us you changed your route?" Gray was frantic. Seeing Emily safe, he was on the verge of tears.

He held Emily's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

Emily was stunned.

She had thought that with Ezra and Gray's intelligence, they would have realized she hadn't gone on the bridge. But she had been in such a hurry to catch Elowen that she hadn't thought that far ahead.

Seeing how worried Ezra and Gray were, Emily felt a warmth in her heart. It turned out they cared about her so much.

"Gray, don't cry. I'm fine, nothing happened. Relax."

Emily patted Gray's arm, comforting him softly.

Gray took a deep breath and couldn't help but tell her about the explosion, "How can I relax? The Wilson family car was among those that exploded. The car was completely destroyed."

"If you hadn't been lucky enough to avoid it, Ezra and I would be in the hospital from the shock..."

"That serious?"

Emily's brows furrowed. She hadn't expected the cars that didn't leave with her to encounter such danger.

If she had been among them, she would have...

Emily didn't dare to think further.

No wonder Ezra and Gray looked so pale. They hadn't realized she had changed direction before entering the bridge.

"Ezra, Gray, it's my fault. I should have called you right away to let you know I was safe. I made you worry."

"As long as you're okay. I'll have the roadblocks removed and let Grandpa know you're safe so he won't be scared."

Now that Emily was back safe, Ezra could finally relax.

Gray took a deep breath, his emotions calming down.

"Emily, you don't know. When Ezra and I got the news, we were scared stiff. If Quincy hadn't told us you were alive and shown us proof, we might have beaten Lawrence to a pulp!"

Hearing this, Emily was taken aback.

She thought she had misheard and asked, "Gray, weren't you looking for me? Why would you beat up Lawrence?"

Given Gray and Ezra's emotional state at the time, Emily had no doubt they would have gone all out.

Gray, hearing Emily's question, didn't feel any remorse. Instead, he felt justified.

"I did beat him up!"

"If he hadn't insisted on having his birthday party on a yacht, you would be safely at home right now, not facing all this danger..."

"Just thinking about it makes me angry. I should have kicked him again."

Listening to Gray's angry tone, Emily shook her head helplessly.

Thinking about Lawrence getting beaten up by both Ezra and Gray... Emily felt a bit speechless.

Maybe, after she finished her current tasks, she should go check on him.

And explain things on behalf of Ezra and Gray.

They were about to get divorced, after all. It wouldn't be good to owe him a favor.

"But what does this have to do with Quincy? Why was he there?"

In Emily's memory, Quincy rarely got involved in the Parker family's affairs, especially Lawrence's personal matters.

And the school was so far from here. Did he rush over as soon as he heard the news?

Unexpectedly, this question made Gray's eyes light up.

He grabbed Emily's hand and started talking.

"Emily, I have to tell you, even though it's my first time meeting Quincy, I think he's way better than Lawrence. He looks gentle and refined, and I'm sure he's a caring man!"

Thinking about how the Parker family had another man who looked like Lawrence but had a completely different personality, Gray felt like he had found the perfect replacement.

Emily hadn't divorced Lawrence because she couldn't let go of him, right?

Now, with someone who looked like him but was a good man, if they could be together, wouldn't that solve all the problems?

Gray couldn't wait to tell Emily all the good things about Quincy.

He had wanted to discuss it with Ezra, but Ezra wasn't interested. Now that Emily was back, he couldn't miss this opportunity.
