Chapter 17
Perhaps sensing Emma’s low spirits, Waylon waved his hand and directly took her and her parents to Lena’s hometown for a change of
scenery.
Originally, he had planned to bring his wife along as well, but she was feeling unwell, so she had to stay home to rest.
As for Waylon himself, he naturally stayed behind to take care of his wife and, in the process, tried to stop Braydon from going to find Emma.
Due to the delay in the assistant’s message, Braydon still went to various events to meet Emma as he used to.
The first time, he stood on the square blowing cold wind all night, not only did he not see Emma who was supposed to watch the fireworks with him, but also got himself soaked in the rain.
Braydon fell ill as expected, but this time there was no woman to carefully take care of him and wipe away the night’s alcohol.
The second time, he went to the bar he used to hate the most before to look for someone, although that bar was a clean one, but every person who entered had to drink three shots of strong liquor first.
Braydon couldn’t drink alcohol anymore, ever since he had a stomach bleed from trying to stop Caitlin from drinking at the Lederer family villa.
This time, Braydon still didn’t hesitate to drink it all in one gulp.

He forced himself to take painful steps towards the room, but there was no sign of Emma inside.
The third time, Braydon went to the seaside, but he almost got swept into the deep sea by the tide.
The fourth time, Braydon went to the top of the highest mountain in Seattle, but he almost froze to death due to hypothermia up there.

When Braydon searched all over the city and couldn’t find any trace of Emma, he finally realized that Emma wasn’t in Seattle.
So he used his influence again to find out that she and her parents had gone to Lena’s hometown.
But in the end, he didn’t make it because all the tickets to Chicago, whether by plane, train, or car, were sold out.
The latest tickets will also be issued in three days.
Braydon knew that the Corsie family was teasing him, but he had no way to stop them.
Braydon had originally decided to drive to Chicago, but the two cities were over a thousand kilometers apart, so by the time he arrived in Chicago, Emma had probably already started her journey back.
Just when Braydon was worrying, Emma in Chicago had already started playing with her parents.
After visiting old friends in Chicago with Lena, she eagerly dragged her to a small alley to have a dress custom–made by a tailor.

Looking at the newly made dress, Emma had originally planned to go back and try it on again.
Lena pushed her into the fitting room and said that any ill–fitting areas could be altered right there.
In front of the mirror in the fitting room, Emma tied up her hair in a simple bun and wore a simple white dress with a faint jasmine pattern on it. The collar, cuffs, and hem of the dress were adorned with delicate white trim, making her look fresh and elegant.
It would have been better if there were no scars on her fair, and tender
legs.
These wounds were scars left when she was kidnapped by the kidnappers.
When the kidnappers forced Braydon to choose between two options, he was torn between the two but ultimately chose his girlfriend.
However, the kidnappers did not release her, they just pushed her down the hill, and those leg injuries were left at that time.
After returning to the Corsie family, Emma started wearing long sleeves and long pants, afraid that her parents would see the injuries and feel upset.
I’m afraid it’s probably not going to be hidden now.
Emma let out a long sigh.
Sure enough, as soon as she opened the fitting room door, her parents immediately noticed the scar on her leg.
Their eyes immediately turned red, but neither of them mentioned the

wounds. They just kept praising her beauty.
It wasn’t until Emma fell asleep in a daze at night that she heard Lena’s voice outside making a phone call.
“I don’t care whether those two people went to jail or not, I just want to seek revenge for my daughter!”
Even though Lena had already lowered her voice, Emma could still hear the tremor and anger in her tone.
“Waylon, your dad and I are telling you again, you must make sure to take good care of them!”
“Let them taste my daughter’s pain well…”
