Chapter 17
Emily watched as he threw the token at her in such a humiliating manner.
The token fell to the ground, and she didn’t pick it up.
Instead, she stepped on it!
“You…”

James felt as if that step was directly on his heart.
Then, bit by bit, she crushed it!
As if it crushed the feelings between them.
“Emily, how dare you! Do you know what that step means?” James’s face was dark.
Emily’s face was calm. “I know! If it’s dirty, I don’t want it.”
James laughed angrily.
“I’ll wait for you to regret it!” He said, turning to leave.
At that moment, two uniformed officers approached and asked, “Excuse me, are you Ms. Emily Johnson, the owner of the house that caught fire?”
Emily nodded. “Yes.”
“We need to understand the cause of the fire. Please cooperate.”
“Sure, no problem.”
Emily followed them to the side to give a statement.
James, who was about to leave, paused and looked back at Emily in disbelief.
At that moment, he wanted to rush over and ask her when she bought the house.
But seeing her cooperate with the officers, he didn’t go over.
He looked deeply at her. She must care about him.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have bought the house, the one filled with their memories.
James had a moment of distraction, recalling their childhood moments together.
He clenched his fists and rubbed his temples.

Forget it. For the sake of their past feelings, he wouldn’t hold grudge against her this time.
He would wait for her to calm down before talking to her.
Emily was glad she didn’t know what he was thinking, or she would be disgusted.
James was too self–righteous and overconfident.
She had no place to stay now, and she had an appointment with Will today.
Coincidentally, there was a very suitable house available.

“Emily, it’s really lucky. The house is in a good location, very private, and the price is quite reasonable. I heard the previous owner is in a hurry to move abroad and wants to sell it quickly. But because they’ve lived there for a long time, they hope the buyer will cherish the house.”
Will couldn’t help but praise.
Emily smiled. “That’s great. If it’s good, I’ll take it!”
It seemed that since she was reborn, everything had been going surprisingly smoothly.
As she expected, the house was indeed great.
After all, Will was honest and didn’t exaggerate. If he said it was good, it really was.
So she signed the contract directly.
Fifty million dollars for a villa in that location.
What luck!
She transferred the money according to the account.
The real owner of the house was lying in bed, hearing the notification of fifty million dollars received.
Charles raised an eyebrow.
“Charles, weren’t you supposed to rest? What did you do to earn fifty million dollars while lying down?”
Daniel’s cold eyes glanced at Charles. “Are you short of money?”
“What?” Charles didn’t understand.
“Otherwise, why are you eyeing my wallet?”
Daniel said this with a straight face.
Charles was shocked.

Daniel, usually serious and cold, seemed to have learned to joke.
:
He wanted to check Daniel’s brain. Could it be that this illness had made him stupid?
Or maybe the doctor’s herbal bath had made him silly.
Emily suddenly felt a chill and sneezed.
Who was cursing her behind her back?
After buying the house, she had only paid half of Daniel’s medical expenses and was out of money again.
At that moment, a message about a design competition popped up in the class group.
The prize was thirty thousand dollars!
Though not much.
Thirty thousand dollars was still money.
She decided to go back to school to get the registration form and participate.
She didn’t expect to run into Bianca.
