Second Chances

Chapter 182 

Emma asked, “Help me?” 

“Yeah,” replied Daniel. 

Emma was shocked to hear their plan. 

She never imagined that there was such a way. 

From Liam’s discussion with her uncles, she learned that they wanted to replicate the chip to clear her suspicion. 

“Don’t worry. You have us. We’ll protect you. Sean patted Emma’s head fondly. 

Richard nodded and said, “That’s right. Even if the worst happens, we will always have your back!” 

Suddenly, Emma’s nose tingled with emotion. 

She felt fortunate to have so many outstanding uncles who loved and protected her. 

She looked up at Liam. 

The man noticed the tears in her beautiful eyes and leaned down to kiss her eyebrows. 

“Don’t worry. We’re all here for you. We’ll protect you,” Liam said. 

Emma was overwhelmed and clenched the hem of her clothes tightly 

Not long after, the butler ran in happily. 

“Mr. Hall, Mr. Philip is here.” 

Philip’s name was known throughout the country 

He was a legendary genius in physics with an exceptionally high IQ. 

It was said that many countries were vying to hire him with lucrative offers 

Despite studying abroad for years, Philip remains fiercely patriotic and devoted to his homeland. 

When Emma saw him, she thought he indeed looked like what the rumors said.. 

Philip had a cold and aloof demeanor/unlike her other uncles who would show their excitement when they first 

saw her. 

However, every time Philip looked at her, Emma could feel his tenderness.

Even if he said nothing, his gaze made her feel warm. 

Philip only nodded at her politely. 

“Emma, nice to finally meet you,” he said. 

Emma was dazzled by her uncle who exuded confidence and ingenuity. She nodded and said, “Uncle.” 

It was like a breath of fresh air! 

Emma thought that it was no wonder everyone said that he was a rare genius. 

Though she prided herself on her intelligence, facing Philip still made her feel somewhat inadequate. 

Liam stepped forward and said, “Mr. Philip, I’ve prepared all the materials you asked for.” 

Philip certainly knew about Liam’s relationship with Emma. He nodded and said, “Okay, thank you.” 

That was Liam’s backup plan.

With less than 20 hours left until the 48–hour deadline, if they couldn’t find the mastermind, Philip would be their 

last resort. 

Richard stood up and said, “If there are any consequences to this plan, I will bear them.” 

Daniel shook his head. “No, as the eldest brother, it’s my duty to protect Stella’s daughter.” 

Sean, who was sitting on the sofa, said annoyingly, “Stop it. One of you manages immense wealth, and the other is 

a military hero. I’m just an actor, so I should be the one to take the fall.” 

Emma watched as her uncles fought to take the bullet for her. 

Even Philip, who had just met her for the first time, said, “A man should be accountable for his actions. Since I’m making the chip, if anything goes wrong, it should be on me..” 

Emma looked at him and said, “Uncle Philip, you don’t have to do this.” 

Philip was incredibly perceptive. 

One look from Emma and he knew what she was thinking. 

He smiled rarely and said, “We should protect you. I’m sure if anything happens, Mr. Hall also won’t stand idly by, right?” 

This was Philip’s first time meeting Liam. 

09:21 Sat, 

He wanted to assess if the man deserved his niece. 

Liam saw through his intention.

He held Emma’s hand and said firmly, “Emma won’t let you guys take the blame for her. As her husband, If she’s in trouble, I’ll definitely stand by her side.” 

Hearing his words, the four men were relieved. 

Even Sean, who was usually jealous of Liam, clicked his tongue in approval. “Alright, who’ll take care of Emma for the rest of her life if not you? Emma, we just want you to be happy!” 

“Alright,” Emma said, holding back her emotions. “Let’s not be so pessimistic. Maybe we’ll find the original chip 

soon.” 

Levi had been out for a long time, with no news yet. So, the outcome seemed bleak. 

Late at night, Liam called Levi. 

At that moment, Levi was working late, with no leads yet. 

Suddenly, Liam said into the phone, “Levi, go to the old mansion secretly tonight and check on Derek.” 

Levi instantly understood Liam’s implication. “Mr. Hall, do you… suspect Mr. Simon?” 

“Yeah,” replied Liam. 

Not long ago, Simon had threatened him to break up with Emma. 

Liam didn’t want to strain their father–son relationship. 

But this time, for Emma, he couldn’t worry about that anymore. 

It was late at night at the old mansion. 

Before Levi stepped inside the house, an old man in a suit was sitting in the garden. 

Levi was surprised to find Simon waiting for him so late. 

“Mr. Simon?” said Levi nervously. 

The old man smiled. His face was wrinkled and commanded respect. 

“Liam was right. It’s me!” Simon said. 

Levi was stunned. “Mr. Simon, you..

“I know you are loyal to Liam,” Simon interrupted him. 

“But don’t forget your sick sister back home.” 

As Simon spoke, he took out his phone. 

On the screen was a pale, sickly girl. She greeted him in the video.

“Levi! Mr. Simon has sent someone to take care of me and even brought me a lot of supplements. Your boss is so 

nice!”

Levi’s face tightened, but he forced a smile and chatted briefly with his sister. 

After hanging up, Levi clenched his fists tightly. 

Simon was threatening him. 

He said confidently, “Sharon is a good kid, but she’s not lucky. She was born with hemophilia and a rare blood type. This illness isn’t too dangerous as long as there’s a steady supply of blood. But without it…” 

“Enough!” 

Levi trembled slightly. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

He knew very well how powerful the man in front of him was. 

Simon could completely cut off all of Sharon’s blood supply and prevent anyone in the country from providing her 

with assistance. 

Levi had grown up without parents, and Sharon Qi was his only family. 

Protecting his sister was his belief. 

“Sharon is just an ordinary girl. She’s innocent.” 

Simon’s smile faded as he brushed the dust off his suit. 

“I don’t care. All I know is, that my goal is to see Emma imprisoned for life! Your sister’s life is in your hands. As long as you do a good job, I can make sure she never has to worry about blood supply. It’s up to you.” 

Levi returned to Icovine Estate with heavy steps.
