“Well, Emily, let’s just wait and see!‘ Bianca said with a smirk before walking off with Ronnie.Â
Emily didn’t waste another second on her. After handing her project to the teacher, she decided to meet up with Terry.Â
Terry: We need to meet ASAP. Where should we meet?]Â
Emily sent Terry the address of a nearby coffee shop and set the meeting for half an hour later.Â
Since Emily was more tech–savvy than Terry, finding his location was a breeze. When Terry had tried to track her down before, she had countered and found out everything about him.Â
When Emily arrived at the coffee shop and sat down across from Terry, he didn’t recognize her at first.Â
Terry frowned and said, “Sorry, this seat’s taken. Also, I’m not looking to make friends.”Â
He said this because he often encountered such situations.Â
Of course, he had the confidence and the means to say it.Â
Terry might not be as handsome and refined as Daniel, but he had a clean–cut look that many people liked. His attire suggested he came from a good family.Â
Emily acted as if she hadn’t heard him and sat down across from him. Before Terry could express his displeasure and ask her to leave, she spoke up.Â
“I didn’t realize you were so full of yourself in private. Also, let me introduce myself: SQ, Emily. Nice to meet you,Z!”Â
Emily emphasized his online name.Â
Terry jumped up in excitement.Â
‘You’re SQ? No way! I thought you were either an old guy or a nerdy young man with glasses. But you’re… you’re…”Â
He pointed at Emily’s face, unable to articulate that she was such a young and beautiful girl.Â
Emily slapped his hand away. “Alright, calm down. Judging people by their appearance is a big no–no. Sit down, let’s talk business.”Â
“Okay!”Â
Despite his seemingly unreliable demeanor upon first meeting, Terry was very dependable when it came to serious matters.Â
Earlier, Emily had discussed AI directions and some frameworks with him. This time, Terry had created a prototype to show her.Â
“Ms. Johnson, what do you think? Feel free to give any feedback. I’ll continue to refine and optimize it until you’re satisfied!*Â
Terry pounded his chest, making a promise.Â

Emily nodded. This part, I think, could be done like this….Â
She didn’t hold back and gave her suggestions.Â
Terry listened attentively.Â

His family would be surprised to see him so well–behaved and focused. He came from a good family–the Perez family heir, spoiled since childhood, with some minor issues.Â
His grades weren’t impressive, and everyone thought he was a slacker. After he got onto the internet, he spent most of his time either at home or at internet cafes, rarely at home.Â
So his family just hoped he wouldn’t cause trouble in the future.Â
No one expected that he would become a big shot one day.Â
Emily’s suggestions were crucial.Â
Terry listened carefully, and with his high comprehension, the two of them became engrossed in their discussion, their heads close together.Â
From certain angles, they looked too close, almost intimate.Â
“Emily, how can you be so shameless!”Â
At that moment, an angry figure stormed towards their table. His voice reached them before he did.Â
He was good–looking and loud, drawing the attention of nearby customers to Emily’s table.Â
“Who the hell are you?”Â
Terry, with his rebellious streak, slammed the table in anger, his presence imposing.Â
He stood up, glaring at the figure who had suddenly approached, and questioned him with a frown.Â
“Emily, you’re willing to break off our engagement for this guy? And weren’t you trying to get close to Daniel? What happened? Did you realize you couldn’t climb that high, so you settled for this guy?”Â
James had been reflecting on his past interactions with Emily since their engagement was called off. He was somewhat regretful.Â
His family, however, ignored his feelings and pressured him to get engaged to Bianca.Â
He was very frustrated. Aiden had asked him to check out a new Al project, and he came along to clear his mind.Â
When he was downstairs, he looked up and saw a familiar face. He immediately recognized Emily. Seeing her so close to another man in public, he couldn’t contain his anger and rushed over.Â
Emily grabbed James‘ finger, which was pointing at Terry, and applied a bit of pressure, making a cracking sound.Â

“Show some respect. My people are not for you to point fingers at. Using your finger to point at someone–this is your family’s upbringing? And who are you to me? Who I meet and who I spend time with is none of your business.”Â
Emily released his finger with disdain.Â
Terry was thrilled to hear her acknowledge him as her own. It felt much more real than hearing it online.Â
Terry’s eyes lit up. Ms. Johnson, I am indeed your person. You have to look out for me. Of course, I’ll unconditionally support you. If anyone dares to bully you, I won’t stand for it!Â

James face turned pale from the pain, but he still couldn’t bring himself to leave. “You’re degrading yourself. Even though we’re no longer engaged, I still care about you because of our past. Besides, I regret calling off the-Â
“Stop. Aiden is here. Are you sure you want to say that? What about Bianca and her unborn child? I heard you two are getting engaged,Â
right?”Â
Emily stopped James from continuing.Â
Why did he think that just because he regretted it, she would come back?Â
Terry hadn’t expected Emily to have such a past. He found James increasingly annoying.Â
“Seriously, you cheated with another woman and now you want to come back to Ms. Johnson? Look at Ms. Johnson–she’s beautiful, talented, and young. Her future partner will definitely be better than you. Get lost!”Â
Terry couldn’t help but speak up.Â
Even someone who had just met her could see the situation clearly.Â
But James couldn’t.Â
Aiden saw James‘ face turn ugly, and the surrounding people were watching curiously.Â
He frowned and spoke up, “Emily, don’t go too far. He may not have the right, but I do. You moved out to live like this? Associating with people like this, living this kind of life–are you really at peace with it?”Â
Emily didn’t hate Aiden as much as the other Johnson family members, but only if he didn’t try to control her.Â
Now he was doubting her and saying such humiliating things, making Emily’s disgust skyrocket,Â
‘First of all, my life is clean, not what you think. Even if it were, it’s my business. Have you forgotten the Johnson family’s public statement severing ties with me? From that moment on, I have no connection with anyone from the Johnson family,”Â
Emily directly issued an eviction order. “Leave before I get angry! Now that we have no connection, my tolerance is low.”Â
