“I’m good, you know I won’t let myself suffer!” 

Emily flashed a confident smile. 

She explained what had happened and the origin of the $50 million check. 

“You took $50 million and promised not to show up in front of me again?” 

Even someone as sharp as Daniel can act dumb when it comes to feelings. 

York couldn’t stand it anymore. 

‘Daniel! If Emily had agreed, she wouldn’t be here now. Plus, Emily gave you the $50 million; isn’t that obvious enough?‘ 

Maybe York’s eyes were too full of frustration. 

Daniel felt it and finally snapped out of it. 

He was just too worried about Emily, afraid of losing her. 

Love breeds fear, leading to uncontrolled thoughts! 

Emily laughed and said, “Why not take it? They gave it to me, so of course I’ll accept it. Let’s consider it a windfall, and I’ll share it with you!” 

Her eyes sparkled with joy as she looked at Daniel. 

Daniel suppressed the love that nearly burst from his chest and smiled indulgently, “Since you earned it, you don’t need to share it with me. You keep it all!” 

Emily raised an eyebrow, “Are you sure? It’s $50 million. It might not be much to you, but it’s still money!” 

Daniel thought of Zoey’s threats mentioned earlier, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. 

He gently said to Emily, “They gave you trouble; this is compensation for your emotional distress. No need to share it with me. As for Zoey’s threats to Violette, don’t worry. I’ll arrange for bodyguards to protect her secretly.” 

Daniel was indeed a reliable man. 

When faced with problems, he knew how to solve them. 

Emily admired him in her heart, but she said, “No need. We’ll use the $50 million to hire bodyguards.” 

Seeing Emily insist, Daniel instructed York, “Find the best bodyguards to protect her secretly.” 

“Alright! If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back.”

Emily said, standing up to leave. 

This time, Daniel didn’t ask her to stay. After seeing her out, his gentle smile vanished, replaced by a coldness that spread from his feet. 

York couldn’t help but shiver. 

He knew someone was about to have bad luck. 

Sure enough, Daniel’s next words were, “I remember there’s a project with the King family that’s about to expire, and Zoey is in charge?” 

“Yes! It expires in a week. The King family has already asked several times about renewing the contract.” 

Zoey originally wanted to use this project to get closer to Daniel, but there had been no response. 

Daniel’s smile turned icy. “She seems too busy. In that case, inform the King family that we won’t be renewing the contract.” 

Zoey was still pondering whether Emily should fulfill her promise and disappear from Silverlight City. 

She regretted not being more severe at the time to scare Emily away. 

Daniel was currently interested in her, and if Emily suddenly left, he might still miss her. 

She had no idea Emily would handle things this way. 

As the project leader, Zoey would face objections from the King Group’s board when the project wasn’t renewed. It would hit her unexpectedly. She’d have to deal with those elders and family competitors, leaving her no time to trouble Emily. 

As for Veda, she was definitely spoiled. 

Daniel picked up the phone and called Veda’s father directly. 

“Veda’s got too much time on her hands. I’ve arranged for her to attend a school abroad. Send her there immediately!” 

Daniel’s tone was firm and left no room for negotiation. 

Veda’s father, an artist with little interest or skill in business, had long since given up any thoughts of inheritance. 

He was content with his dividends and the occasional art exhibition. 

As Daniel grew older and took control of the Smith Group, Veda’s father grew wary of Daniel’s authority. 

Hearing Daniel’s tone, he knew Veda must have done something foolish to anger him. 

“Alright, I’ll send her abroad right away.” 

Veda’s father wanted to ask when she could return, but sensing Daniel’s lingering anger, he decided not to push his luck. 

He opened his mouth but didn’t ask.

He planned to plead for Veda once Daniel’s anger subsided. 

Emily had no idea Daniel was secretly taking action on her behalf. 

After returning home, she received a call from Sophia. 

“Emily, the art show is tomorrow. You promised to go. I’ll pick you up in the morning?” 

“Tomorrow’s the art show? I almost forgot. Sure, let’s go check it out!” 

Emily replied with a smile. 

Sophia’s smile widened, “Emily, I knew you’d want to go. What do you think Bianca will do tomorrow?” 

“She wants fame, so she’ll set up some publicity. We’ll see what she does tomorrow.” 

Emily guessed. 

If Bianca acted as Emily predicted, she’d end up embarrassed instead of famous. 

Just thinking about it made Emily happy. 

With the $50 million, Emily was in high spirits. 

She immediately gave money to Violette, Byron, and Sophia. 

Violette’s family, shy and reserved, couldn’t sit still seeing such a large amount. 

Violette privately messaged Emily, “Emily, did you make a mistake? You added extra zeros. Let me know, and I’ll return the money.” 

“I didn’t make a mistake. I think it’s too little! Violette, keep it. I got $50 million legally.” 

Emily feared Violette would insist, so she revealed the amount. 

$50 million was astronomical for Violette’s family. 

A million dollars almost ruined them. 

Violette didn’t refuse this time, “I won’t misuse it. I’ll save it for you. If you need it, just ask.” 

Emily wondered why people could be so different. 

Violette treated her niece wholeheartedly, even if it would hurt herself. 

Eli and the others, her closest relatives, were cold and indifferent. 

“Violette, thank you!”

Byron was the happiest, “Ms. Johnson, what’s this? So much money–did you hit the jackpot?” 

Emily laughed, “Yes, I just got a windfall, $50 million.” 

“Ms. Johnson is truly amazing!” 

Sophia couldn’t help but laugh, “No wonder you sounded so happy on the phone!” 

“Sophia, you contacted Ms. Johnson behind my back? Ms. Johnson is everyone’s!” 

“We were discussing business, but we can’t tell you because you have a history!” 

The two began to bicker. 

Emily watched the two happy rivals, shaking her head with a smile that wouldn’t fade. 

She thought for a moment, then opened WhatsApp and transferred money to Daniel, with a note: “Sharing the wealth!”
