“Really? You sure you wanna stop us now?” Emily’s smile was cold and unyielding.
Sophia admired Emily’s courage, but the odds were against them, and the other side had the numbers…
She reached out and tugged at Emily’s sleeve, as if to remind her.
But Emily ignored her completely.
Instead, she nodded at Katya.
Katya immediately understood and nodded back.
Sophia was speechless.
What were they doing?
Byron seemed to have forgotten his recent embarrassment, thinking it was just Emily catching him off guard and being a bit stronger.
Now, hearing Emily’s words, he laughed, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes. “I’m not just gonna stop you; I’m gonna make sure you don’t leave here in one piece.”
Bianca was anxious. “Emily, apologize to Byron quickly. Whatever grudge you have, you can take it out on me later…”
“Bianca, don’t bother. Let this be a lesson for her arrogance!” shouted two others, trying to make their presence known.
Emily didn’t even glance at them.
Byron waved his hand. “Everyone, get her! Teach this Emily a lesson!”
“Yes!” Byron’s lackeys charged forward.
As for Byron, he thought dealing with a few girls didn’t require his personal involvement.
He stood back to enjoy the show.
However, cries of pain echoed one after another.
In almost an instant, the group was all on the ground, groaning in pain.
Byron’s expression turned serious, his attitude becoming more earnest.
“Alright, I didn’t expect you to have some skills. Now I’ll give you a proper welcome!” Byron gritted his teeth, his eyes darkening as he swung a punch at Emily.
“Emily, watch out!” Sophia was extremely nervous.

…
She could tell Emily was quite capable.
But Byron seemed to have some combat training.
No one believed Emily could win.

Sophia even nudged Katya, urging her to call for help.
But strangely, Katya just stared intently, not moving an inch.
“Fuck! My hand… my foot… It’s broken! You bitch, you hurt me! I won’t let you get away with this!”
In almost an instant, Byron’s screams filled the air, his threats mingled with cries of pain.
Emily’s foot was planted firmly on Byron’s chest.
“Shut up!” Emily warned disdainfully, applying a bit more pressure with her foot.
Byron actually shut his mouth.
Bianca and Hayden were both stunned.
Emily dusted off her hands after the fight and turned to the equally stunned Sophia and Katya. “Let’s go!”
She had other matters to attend to.

And she needed to catch up on some sleep.
Sophia and Katya, realizing what had happened, quickly followed her lead.
“Emily, you’re amazing. Where are you headed? I’ll have the driver take you.”
Sophia smiled happily.
Emily thought for a moment. She was indeed tired, so she agreed.
When Emily mentioned Serenity Grove, Sophia was initially surprised.
‘Is that your house?” For some reason, she felt it must be Emily’s.
The more she got to know Emily, the more she realized how impressive she was.
After the initial surprise, Sophia thought it made sense for someone as capable as Emily to own such a house.
Just a few days ago, it seemed like she was living in a rundown place, and now she had a mansion. Her ability to make money was astonishing.
Before Emily could answer her question, Sophia suddenly grabbed Emily’s hand, her eyes shining. “Emily, from now on, I’m sticking with you. You have to protect me.”

Suddenly, she had a new admirer.
Emily found it quite nice.
/、。, (89 )
Despite the danger earlier, Sophia had been scared to death but hadn’t thought of abandoning her. She was a friend worth having.
Emily thought for a moment and nodded. “We’ll see how you do.”
That was a hopeful sign.
Sophia immediately saluted. “I’ll do my best, Emily. Just watch.”
Soon, the car arrived at the mansion’s gate.
Emily scanned her face, and the car was allowed to drive in.
This indirectly confirmed her ownership of the place.
