Chapter 137 Emma’s plan
In a restaurant.
Emma pulled down her cap on purpose, in case someone would see her here. She wore a large-size shirt, which could perfectly cover her baby bump. She took a seat in the corner. No sunlight could penetrate and no one could see her clearly.
After a while, a young man came in. He was Kent. And he quickly moved towards her and sat in front of her.
Emma raised her head, and asked, “Tell me the DNA result.”
Kent put the document on the desk, “Take a look. By the way, I’ve checked the photo you sent to me. It is familiar, reminding me of someone whom I ever met.”
“Who exactly?”
“I am not sure. It’s hard to say. If the person on the photo is really the one I met…”
Emma was nervous, “Dead?”
Kent shook his head, “Stop talking about this. I will keep looking into it for you. After I confirm, I will tell you. And now, you should pay my bill.”
Emma showed her unsatisfactory look. She was so curious about what he mentioned just now but he didn’t tell a single word. Though she was unhappy about that, she chose not to challenge him and gave him the money.
“Kent. I am really willing to do business with you. In fact, I can get the DNA result by myself. But I want to offer you a deal. Most importantly, I want to know who the person is on the photo!” She gave him a treacherous look, “You should know what I mean, right?”
Kent started smoking, not caring that she was pregnant. The smelly smoke made her cough heavily. “Emma Bush, I don’t think you deserve my good manner. You did the right thing to send the lady to me. I had fun with her. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have done this for you.”
Emma felt so awful that her pride was damaged by him.
Kent lifted her chin with a finger and looked at her, blowing smoke on her face. Then he let go of her in a happy mood after watching her coughing.
“It’s me who determine to do it or not. As for the person you are looking for, I will tell you what I find, but only if I am in good mood and willing to tell. Before I am pleased, don’t try to tell me what to do.”
“Kent…”
He stood up and patted her shoulder, “Of course, if you want to do business with me, I am welcome.”
Emma squeezed her bag so badly in anger. She had to nod to show her agreement, being stared by him.
Then Kent left gladly. Emma couldn’t wait to read the document and a piece of paper fell out. It was the test result, which showed that they were not father and daughter!
She was not surprised at the result, but she felt so happy that moment that her speculation was being proved finally. “Elena! With this, I will destroy you in our game!”

S City.
Zach investigated all the people related to Mason those years and finally he nailed someone down. It was a woman. However, no image about her was left, which made him confused.
Thinking of that, he called Logan and asked, “Could you find any information about a woman named Fiona Baker? She might be the same age of my mother.”
Logan thought he might get something relevant, “Does she have anything to do with Elena?”
“I don’t know yet. But she seemed important! And it’s really strange that she got missing over 20 years ago. From then on, not a clue about her was left.”
Logan felt disappointed, “Send the information you have to me. I will follow it.”
Zach felt released, taking a deep breath, “It’s good to hear that you will help me. I thought you would squeeze me to the death.”
“I am not interested in squeezing a man like you.”
“Hey! I’m working so hard for your wife! It’s not easy to help her find out her biological parents!”
Logan frowned unhappily, “Don’t say that again! Watch your words!”
The words of her biological parents were a taboo for them.
Zach shrugged, seemingly feeling sorry for that. At this moment, someone was knocking at the door. “May I come in?”
Her sudden appearance made him alert. He darkened his face and hung up the phone in no time, “When were you there?!” He said seriously.
Sophia didn’t know why he became angry, saying with confusion, “Just a second ago.”
“What have you heard then?” He pulled her arm tightly.
Sophia frowned because of the pain. “What do you mean? I’ve heard nothing! You are so freaky! Let go of me!”
Zach realized he went too far to her. He let go of her and asked, “Then what are you doing here?”
“What am I doing? Your mother…” She nearly blurted out the words but she suddenly remembered they were in the Stones’ house. She didn’t want them to hear anything about their deal, so she carefully closed the door and said to him in a low voice, “Your mother let me stay in your bedroom tonight! Tell me what I should do! Come on, I won’t share a room with you tonight!”
Now Zach understood. He felt relieved and said to her in a flippant tone, “Here’s the sofa. Now it’s yours. You can sleep there tonight.”
“What!”
Sophia put her hands on her hip, “How can you do that! Be polite to me! After all, I am your guest!”
“No, you aren’t. You are hired by me.” He corrected her.
She felt angry and stared at him, “Speaking of it, you promised to give me 10,000 dollars a day. But you haven’t paid me a penny till now! I’m telling you, don’t try to…”
“Double payment!” Before she finished her sentence, he spoke first. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“No way! Not enough!”
Zach looked at her composedly, lying on the bed comfortably, “10,000 a day. It’s a deal. Do you want to break it?”
Sophia snorted, “And you should offer me the bed, or I will break it!”
He stared at her for a while, which was creepy to her. Then he shook his head, “In your dream!”
It was his bed! How should he offer it to her? And the couch was not large enough for him to sleep in a comfortable way!
“Hey!”
Sophia yelled in an angry tone. She was too furious to say a word then. However, Zach didn’t care. He pulled up the blanket and closed his eyes. Sophia was sure that he wouldn’t offer his bed to her tonight. And she couldn’t do anything about it.
“Alright! It’s all your fault. I will tell Mrs. Stone all about the drama you prepared today! She will know that I am just a hired girlfriend!” said Sophia, through clenched teeth.
“You…!”
He jumped out of the bed in no time and pulled her arm, giving in, “OK, OK! You win! I will share half of the bed with you. Okay?”
“No way! Who knows what you will do to me!” Sophia gave him an alert look, showing her doubts towards him.
He stared at her for a while, laughing, “Well, frankly speaking, even though you are naked, I won’t get attracted by you at all. No way!”
“What?! Naked!? You bastard!”
“…”
He didn’t know how to deal with her, keeping persuading, “Come on, you will get 30,000 dollars as soon as you go back tomorrow. Please! After all, I’m willing to share my bed with you!”
She looked at the king-sized bed, then she fetched some pillows and put them in the middle of the bed, “It’s the line. Don’t try to cross the border!”
“Deal!” Zach answered reluctantly.
Hearing his promise, she got in the bed happily. Both of them were lying in the bed and ready to sleep. The light was off, too.
It was late night. When she fell asleep, she herself crossed the border and put her leg on Zach, which woke him up at once and made him unhappy. But he had to complain in his mind.
Zach looked at her. She was so slim, and she smelt like a baby. Somehow he felt relaxed and fell asleep soundly.
