Chapter 42 Got A Big Blow Right on The Face

Seeing her weaseling out of this, Maisie thought it was because of her father, “Is it because of your

father for you to say that?”

Emily pursed her lips and handed the apple to Maisie, “Now in the C City, everyone knows that I am a

murderer. I just want to find out what really happened to my father. I won’t think about other things for

now.”

“Emily, no matter how others think of you, I always believe you. It’s me who brought you up.” Maisie

was about to speak, but finally said nothing. In the end, she was still determined to say it out, “But I

hope you won’t get in touch with the child of the Clark family. Even in the heyday of your father, their

family would think we are not a fine match for them, let alone now.”

Maisie had gone through it all, so she knew more. She was worried that after Emily was married into

the Clark family, she would be alone and been wronged.

It was already evening when she arrived at her apartment from the Morris mansion, and it was dark

outside. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Just as she took off her high heels and walked into the room, she heard someone was knocking at the

door.

First, that person was knocking at the door, but later, he directly smashed the door hard.

She was alone in the apartment. When you were alone at home, it was natural any loud sound would

make you tremble with fear.

She walked back to the door and instinctively reached out her hand to twist the handle. Fortunately,

she felt that something was wrong. Most people would not smash the door, so the person smashing the

door must be a stranger, and the purpose of him coming here was very clear.

Not long ago, she read the news about the murder case of a single woman in her apartment. It was

said that someone knocked at her door for no reason and said that he came to repair the pipe. Then

that man came in, raped the woman, and then killed her. After dismembering her body, that man put

them in a suitcase and dragged them to the river. It took four to five days for the police to get the

woman’s body out of the river.

At the thought of this, Emily got goosebumps all over her body. She took a deep breath to calm down.

She saw through the peephole. The harsh sound of smashing the door came again, which scared her

back a few steps.

This time the person not only smashed the door but also shouted at her loudly, “Open the door.”

Looking out through the peephole, Emily could vaguely see two strange faces outside the door. It

seemed that they were still carrying something, but she couldn’t see clearly what they were carrying

with them.

She did not dare to make any sound and hoped they could leave, but they smashed the door even

harder. The vibration came through the door to her body, making her heart thump.

At the same time, the man shouted fiercely outside, “Open the door. Or we will smash the door open.”

This time, she asked, “Who are you?”

“Bitch, I know you are home. How dare you hide from us? You almost fooled me.”

Then another man said, “Don’t care about who we are. We know you are Emily Morris. Open the door

quickly.”

They dashed against the door from time to time, so the door was shaking. Emily stared at the door. Her

heart was thumping, and she was afraid that the door was not good enough, and the men outside could

break it easily.

They came here to find her and knew her name. For a moment, she didn’t know whom she had

offended.

What’s more, her neighbors could definitely hear the sound, but none of them had come out to help

her. These two men must have held something dangerous in their hands.

Emily immediately thought of that kind of long knife used by fruit stalls to cut watermelon. She felt

horrible when she thought about it. Emily was afraid of pain most. Now, she couldn’t even think about

that.

Anyway, they had already known she was home. She nerved herself and asked, “Who sent you here?

How much did he pay you? I can pay double.”

They didn’t pay any attention to her words, and just kept smashing the door. She felt more and more

scared if she just waited there. Finally, she trembled and went towards the sofa to get her phone. The

person she could think of at that time was Sebastian.

After getting her phone, she paused. She found she could only call Sebastian with this phone. Then

she clicked to call.

In the end, Emily was also a woman. She was really afraid that the people outside would rush in and

immediately kill her without saying anything just like what happened in the movie. While holding on to

her mobile phone and waiting for him to pick up the phone, she tugged the sofa beside her to the door.

When one end of the sofa reached the door, the sound outside was also a bit dull, inexplicably giving

her a sense of security.

He didn’t pick up the phone. Emily remembered that Sebastian had told her not to call him, and later

she realized that even if he answered the phone, he still couldn’t arrive here immediately.

She didn’t dare to delay any longer. She didn’t continue to call Sebastian but flipped to the bottom of

her contact list in her phone, and finally saw Ewan’s number. But she stopped and didn’t dial out.

“Bitch, open the door. We will break in and kill you.”

At that moment, the sound of smashing the door and shouting became even more fierce, just like

waves coming towards her.

The phone number had been dialed out, and she had no choice but to wait. But no one answered.

Emily suddenly realized that Ewan was Sabrina’s boyfriend. Just as she was about to hang up,

someone picked up the phone, and that was a woman.

Sabrina said hello a few times and then realized something, “I really did not expect you still keep his

cell phone number. He also has not changed his phone number. Don’t call again. We all know how to

behave.”

The sound outside the door came to her from time to time. It seemed that they could break in the next

moment.

Regardless of everything, she kept leafing through her address book, and finally, she gritted her teeth

and dialed out the last number. Ten seconds later, he picked up the phone.

The man’s lazy and hoarse voice came to her, “Miss Morris?”

The familiar voice came from the other side, so she inexplicably had a sense of security, “Mr. Miller, I’m

in trouble. Can you…”

Emily didn’t think much about it. She just came to the point, but what Oskar said was unexpected.

“No, I should call you Mrs. Clark. Doesn’t Mr. Clark care about you now?”

She was not a fool and could hear the sarcasm from what Oskar said. Maybe it was because they

fought the L Club, and he felt ashamed of that.

When Emily was about to say something, the sound of smashing the door was earsplitting. They also

yelled and cursed outside, even Oskar could hear that through the phone.

He asked, “What happened? Who is cursing?”

Oskar liked her personality, if not for Sebastian, he would have gotten along well with Emily.

Emily also could not care about what happened between them before. She tried her best to calm down

and said, “Now I’m not sure who they are.”

“Fuck…” Oskar was furious. After all, he heard much about this kind of news when he just came to the

C City, “Are you stupid? Why don’t you call the police? Call the police immediately. I will come over

now.”

She was also afraid, and could only do what he asked. After hanging up the phone, she immediately

called the police.

She didn’t know Oskar very well. But now, he had been her life-saving straw. Only he could save her at

that moment.
