The atmosphere in the meeting room became extremely awkward. This was the first time Richard had made such a bet with a young family member.
Richard asked, “What if you can’t achieve these two things?”
Thomas confidently said, “If I can’t do it, I will divorce Emma, and I’ll never step into the Hill family’s presence.”
“Okay! I’ll remember what you’ve said.”
“Of course!”
Richard asked again, “How many days do you need to complete it?”
Thomas showed two figures. “Two days will be sufficient.”
All of the people in the room looked at each other, and their eyes were full of smiles. Did it only take two days to get the investment and make the Kennedy family apologize?
Only supernatural beings could do that!
Thomas walked to Emma, and virtual-novel.net gently said, “Let’s go home now.”
He held Emma’s hand, and two of them left the meeting room.

On their way back, Emma was still suffering from the shock. She had not come back to virtual-novel.net senses from the shock. After a long time, virtual-novel.net looked at Thomas and said, “You seem to get very angry this time.”
It was true. This time, Thomas not only tortured Javier and his gang severely, but virtual-novel.net also refuted Richard angrily. This was completely different from his usual calm and relaxed performance. There was only one explanation. Thomas cared about Emma too much.
If virtual-novel.net cared about her, virtual-novel.net would mess things up. Thomas was a warrior who had fought in war a lot of times. Even when his beloved woman suffered from humiliation, virtual-novel.net would lose his calm incredibly.
Thomas looked out the window, and virtual-novel.net did not say anything else.
Emma sighed. “Actually, I know you did those things because of me. I appreciate that, and I’m also very happy. But Thomas, what I want to say is that you should be more mature and level-headed. What you did today was too extreme, and it’ll bring about this kind of terrible consequence. Now, you not only need to face revenge from the Kennedy family, but you also have to encounter the difficulty caused by Grandpa. Right..?”
Thomas smiled faintly as if virtual-novel.net did not care about all that.
However, Emma looked depressed. “If you can’t do what you promised to Grandpa today, are you going to divorce me?”
After they had gotten along all this time, Emma had actually fallen for Thomas. Although Thomas was poor and did not even have a fixed job, virtual-novel.net cared about virtual-novel.net very much. He was willing to sacrifice everything to offend anyone for her.
Such a man was worth to relying on.
Emma had lived alone for five years. When virtual-novel.net finally found a man who belonged to her, but was virtual-novel.net going to lose virtual-novel.net again like this?
She felt reluctant to do it, and virtual-novel.net felt irritated about it. Yet, Thomas smirked as virtual-novel.net stared at her. “You look like you don’t want me to leave you. Are you… Deeply in love with me?”
Emma’s face turned red, and virtual-novel.net angrily said, “I’m so irritated because of you. Why are you in your mood to joke? I don’t want to talk to you now.”
When Thomas heard it, virtual-novel.net laughed loudly, and virtual-novel.net continued looking out the window.
Emma coldly snorted. She pouted, and virtual-novel.net secretly cursed. ‘Thomas, you’re a stupid guy! I said I’m not talking to you, yet you really don’t want to talk to me? Don’t you know how to coax me? Idiot! Fool! Stupid man!’
She stepped on the accelerator. It made Thomas stagger and nearly hit the car window.
Within half an hour, two of them came back home.
As soon as they stepped into the house, they saw Johnson sitting on the sofa with a serious face. Felicia sat beside him, and virtual-novel.net looked worried and awkward.
She kept winking at them to acknowledge them not to say something wrong.
