Chapter 71
‘Do you have a death wish?”
Emily’s face was ice–cold.
She raised her hand and slapped him again.
“This one’s for the slap you just gave me.”
“Emily, you…
Before he could finish, Emily slapped him again. “This one’s for betraying my genuine care and help.”
“You…”
Emily continued with another slap. “This one’s for your blindness and heartlessness. We’re done. From now on, we’re just strangers!”
After finishing, Emily shook her hand. “How shameless!”
Her hand hurt a bit.

Chase was stunned by the series of slaps.
When he finally reacted, he was furious, almost lunging at her.
This happened right in front of the person he liked. How could he allow this?
Emily didn’t hold back either. She kicked Chase away and then waved her phone at Chase’s manager. “I just recorded Chase’s embarrassing state. If I add a headline: ‘Chase beats his own sister for another woman,‘ look at him now. Who would still want to be his fan? Do you think this would trend?”
Chase’s public image was that of a single man. If it were just revealed that he had a woman he loved, fans might not react too strongly. But if they found out he beat his sister for a woman, cold and heartless, it would be over for him.
Chase’s manager wasn’t as impulsive and foolish as Chase; otherwise, Chase wouldn’t have reached his current status.
He had witnessed Emily’s kindness to Chase. Hearing Emily’s words, he nodded to her.
He forcefully dragged Chase away.
“Emily, you just wait. This isn’t over. Delete those photos, or I’ll have the Johnson family kick you out completely.”
Chase dared to threaten even as he was being dragged away.
Emily dug her ear, not caring.
Floyd, on the other hand, felt a bit embarrassed. “Emily, I’m sorry. I didn’t know these people were so ungrateful. And that man, he’s your brother? Does your family treat you poorly?”

Although Emily’s medical skills were far superior to his, he still saw her as a junior due to her age. Seeing her words and Chase’s attitude, Floyd felt guilty and concerned.
Emily no longer felt hurt.
She replied indifferently, “Mr. Ryan, you don’t need to feel guilty. I stopped caring a long time ago. As for the treatment, it’s their loss, not
ours.
Floyd thought that since Emily was here today, she might as well see patients.
But before he could speak, Emily’s phone rang.
“Hello!” Seeing it was Sophia calling, Emily answered.
“Emily, something’s wrong. Guess who I ran into? Eli. I heard he’s here to adopt Liam. Why would he want to adopt Liam?”
Sophia, upon seeing Eli, immediately felt alarmed, sensing his scheming nature.
And how coincidental that Liam was someone Emily knew.
Could it be that Eli found out and wanted to use this to control Emily?
Sophia’s imagination was quite vivid, and she was almost right.
“I’ll be right there. Please stall him, don’t let the adoption process go through quickly.”
Emily hung up and received a call from the orphanage director, saying someone wanted to adopt Liam, without specifying it was Eli.
But she already knew. She asked the director to wait for her, saying she’d be there soon.
Emily immediately called Aaron, asking him to prepare all the adoption paperwork and have a couple ready to go to the orphanage, while she quickly hailed a cab.
But when you’re in a hurry, cabs are always hard to find.
Emily’s usually calm face showed rare signs of anxiety.
‘Need a ride? Hop in!”
A sleek Maybach pulled up beside Emily, and the window rolled down to reveal Daniel’s cool and aloof face.
“Is it on the way? I’m heading to the orphanage on Willow Street,” Emily asked after a moment’s thought.
“Yeah, it’s on the way, Daniel replied in his deep voice.
Emily felt a surge of relief. “Great, thanks a lot.”
She got into the car without hesitation.

York, the driver, couldn’t help but glance at Daniel through the rearview mirror. They were supposed to head north, while Willow Street was south–completely opposite directions. But he didn’t dare say anything and quickly met Daniel’s intense gaze. York immediately looked away and focused on driving.
The car fell into an awkward silence.
Feeling grateful for the help, Emily wanted to repay the favor somehow. She tentatively spoke, “Mr. Smith, the doctor treating you has informed me. I’ll be responsible for your dietary safety at home. Are you going home for dinner tonight? What would you like to eat? I’ll make sure it’s nutritious and safe while catering to your preferences.”
Daniel, hearing her calmly use a fake identity, almost laughed. His lips curved slightly. “Yeah, I’ll be home for dinner. I’m not picky, you
decide.”
“Alright!”
Emily awkwardly wondered if she should say more.
Daniel spoke again, “You’re heading to the orphanage. Is there something urgent?”
After asking, he politely apologized, “Sorry, I might be overstepping. If it’s inconvenient…”
“It’s not inconvenient. Before I returned to the Johnson family, I met a kind old man while picking up trash. He’s no longer here, but his grandson is in the orphanage, with poor health. I want to bring him home.”
Reborn, Emily was vengeful but maintained her core values, repaying kindness. This was taught by Elijah, the old man who collected recyclables. He sowed good deeds and reaped good results.
Daniel’s deep eyes flashed with a hint of light. She kept breaking people’s perceptions of her, yet she wasn’t annoying. On the contrary, she had a strong personal charm.
“From what I know, you don’t meet the adoption criteria. Do you need my help?” Daniel asked calmly.
Emily gratefully glanced at him, surprised that Daniel considered this and even offered help. Who said Daniel was ruthless and unfeeling? He was clearly kind and gentle.
“Thank you, but no need. I’ve considered this issue and have a plan.” Emily declined his offer.
The car smoothly arrived at the orphanage entrance.
“Mr. Smith, thank you. I’ll make something delicious tonight to thank you. You need rest, no need to get out. Emily quickly got out, waving goodbye.
Daniel’s brows furrowed slightly. He maintained his usual indifferent demeanor and didn’t get out. As he was about to roll up the window, York parked the car a bit further.
Another car arrived.
Emily quickly approached the car. Daniel paused his action, seeing a young man with a gentle smile leading a couple out. Emily greeted the young man naturally and relaxedly, a familiarity and ease Daniel had never seen.
Daniel’s face darkened: Who is this person? When did she have such a young man around her? After all, his investigation didn’t reveal
