My Wife is a Hacker

Seeing Ellar's dilemma, Emma desperately shook her head, signaling for him not to give in to Everett's manipulation and not to sign the document.

Even though she didn't know what it was, she understood it was definitely detrimental to Ellar.

She didn't want Ellar to be compromised, nor did she want to see Ellar being controlled because of her.

"You'd better not make a fuss; it's better for you that way,” Doretta whispered menacingly close.

Emma, with eyes full of pain, looked at Doretta and said, "I shouldn't have taken you in."

She had been so kind to Doretta, even considering her as a potential daughter-in-law, but Doretta betrayed them.

"Enough talk, shut up," Doretta warned.

"Bring her over," Everett commanded, and Doretta led Emma out of the car.

Ellar's eyes instantly reddened, and he stepped forward to grasp Emma, asking, "Mom, are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Emma shook her head and held onto Ellar, insisting, "Do not sign the papers. Don't give in to him."

"Huh? Do you think you still have a choice?" Everett mocked. "If you don't sign, neither of you will be going back today." His patience was wearing thin, and he didn't have the luxury of time to keep up with their resistance.

Emma's face turned pale. She instinctively clutched Ellar's arm.

"Mom, don't be scared," Eliar positioned Emma behind him. He glared at

Everett and said, "I can only give you BayCorp, nothing more."

"You think you have the bargaining power here?" Everett had lost all patience, his tone menacing, "Take this woman and throw her into the river, n NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Suddenly, two figures emerged from the shadows, shoving Eliar aside as they attempted to drag Emma away.

"Stop, let her go!" Ellar struggled desperately to reach Emma, but alone he wasn't strong enough. He watched in agony as Emma was pulled further away, her screams tearing at his heart.

"Mom!" Ellar tried to pursue, but Doretta blocked his path.

"Get out of my way!" Ellar glared at Doretta furiously, unable to break free from her grasp.

A loud cry echoed through the area as the men holding Emma were caught off guard. One clutched his bleeding face, while the other scanned the surroundings warily.

Tension froze everyone in place, with the injured man's bloodied face the only evidence of the sudden attack.

"You've got some nerve," Everett sneered. "You've followed US here. Come out then, let's see how you plan to save them on your own."

Another shout rang out as the second man holding Emma collapsed to his knees.

Then Patricia appeared, swiftly pushing Emma toward Ellar, urging, "Take Mrs. Riddle and go!"

Launching herself at Everett, Patricia tried to buy time for Ellarto escape. But just as she intervened, several more assailants in black appeared, enclosing them once again.

"Thinking of leaving? Once you're here, you're staying," Everett declared, managing to dodge Patricia's attack and stepping out of the encirclement.

Patricia's gaze darkened. Regardless of the odds, she had to ensure Ellar and Emma got away.

Quickly strategizing, Patricia attacked the assailant closest to El I ar and Emma, creating an opening. She positioned herself protectively in front of them, fighting while slowly retreating.

Aware of their precarious situation, she whispered urgently to Ellar, "Get Mrs. Riddle out of here fast, I can't hold them off much longer."

Facing multiple adversaries while trying to safeguard Ellar and Emma was overwhelming her.
