Chapter 482 The Water is Unusual
Emma blinked her eyes.
"You dare insult Luann?"
Ernest chuckled softly, his fingertips teasingly brushing Emma's face.
"So cute."
"How did I not realize sooner how adorable and interesting you are?"
"If I could do it all over again, I would definitely choose you."
"Having someone who protects their family and is so positive is exactly what I've always wanted."
Emma felt goosebumps rise all over her body from his sweet talk.
"What are you talking about?"
Ernest's gaze was gentle and affectionate.
"Emma, I regret it."
"I can't believe I missed out on someone as wonderful as you."
"Can you give me another chance to start over?"
Ernest truly regretted it.
But what he regretted was that he had the wrong idea from the start.
Why did he go after someone as unattainable and already married as Luann?
He should have gone for someone like Emma, who was easier to control.
After all, Luann adored and pampered her. When the time came, he could have Emma make requests to Luann on his behalf, wouldn't that be more convenient?
Looking at the almost flawless face she had liked for countless days and nights, Emma felt a moment of hesitation and doubt.
"Emma, let me be your boyfriend, to protect you, to make up for the mistakes I've made before, okay?"
After saying this, Ernest looked at Emma with deep affection.
His gaze lowered, landing on her rosy lips.
Then, inch by inch, he gradually moved closer.
Ernest seemed to enjoy the process, even closing his eyes.
Their breaths mingled.
Emma could almost smell the pleasant scent of his cologne.
With only about an inch left, they were about to kiss.
Emma suddenly spoke.
"Ernest."
Ernest instinctively opened his eyes, softly saying, "Hmm?"
The sound lingered, with a slight curve.
The next second.
Emma closed her eyes.
As if waiting for his next move?
Ernest's heart let out a disdainful snort.
Sure enough.
No matter how determined a woman was, she couldn't resist his face.
Even though Emma had just spoken so firmly.
Ernest let out a sharp scream.
Emma took the opportunity to push him away forcefully.
In her right hand was the pepper spray she always kept in her bag.
"I've heard those sweet lines in TV shows so many times, I'm immune to them! Next time, come up with something new."
"Oh, and I forgot to tell you, I do like you."
"But definitely not in the way that I want you to be my boyfriend."
"Goodbye."
Emma turned around triumphantly.
But what greeted her was a wave of dizziness from deep within her body.
In the last second before she fainted to the ground, Emma weakly called out.
"Lionel, help me!"
Lionel was sitting in the car waiting.
Suddenly, music started playing in the car.
Then, the phone was answered.
A series of conversations came through the car's Bluetooth.
"Ernest! Are you crazy? Where are you now? Get back here immediately!"
"I'm very calm right now." It was Ernest's voice.
Lionel frowned slightly. Ernest had forgotten to disconnect the Bluetooth before getting out of the car.
He didn't have a habit of eavesdropping on others' conversations. Just as he was about to leave, his hand on the door handle, the agent's words made him pause.
"Calm my ass! You recklessly tried to seduce Luann and failed, offended her, and now you won't stop? You're even targeting Emma? Do you know who Emma is? She's Myron's sister! Are you trying to ruin your career in the entertainment industry?"
Lionel's pupils suddenly contracted.
Ernest was going after Emma?
What was he planning to do?
Lionel didn't listen any further. He decisively got out of the car and headed towards the restaurant.
However, just as he left, the call was hung up by Ernest.
Ernest simply washed his eyes with water from the restroom in the private room.
But his eyes were still red.
He kicked Emma's back a few times.
Then he hoisted her up like a sack of potatoes.
By the time Lionel rushed in, the room was already empty.
"Damn it!"
He took out his phone and dialed a number he hadn't called in a long time.
It rang only once before being answered.
"Ivan, I need a favor."
Ivan's elderly voice carried a hint of surprise. "Mr. Butler?"
"Track someone for me, Emma from the Curtis family, and give me her location as soon as possible!"
Ivan: "Got it!"
After hanging up, Lionel clenched his phone, his eyes filled with worry.
He didn't waste any time and immediately took a car to the Curtis family to inform Vito of the situation.
Vito was furious upon hearing the news.
"Ernest?"
"Who the hell does Ernest think he is!"
"Find him! Find out everything! Once we have the details, I'll make sure Ernest is completely kicked out of the entertainment industry!"
The Curtis family, being the dominant force in the Upper West Side, found Ernest's whereabouts in just ten minutes.
Lionel quickly took people with him.
On the way, he also received a message from Ivan.
It matched what the Curtis family had found.
"It's a bit far, I hope it doesn't delay you in finding her." Ivan's voice carried a hint of apology.
"It won't, thank you." Lionel's gentle voice had a touch of seriousness.
He didn't say much to Ivan, his mind entirely focused on worrying about Emma.
At this moment.
Ernest had already brought Emma to his temporary residence.
He threw Emma onto the bed.
Standing by the bed, he looked down at her.
His eyes were red from the pepper spray, bloodshot, but he couldn't hide his triumphant expression.
He hummed a little tune, seemingly in a good mood.
He picked up a glass of water from the bedside table and unceremoniously splashed it onto Emma's face.
The cold water jolted Emma back to some consciousness.
However, her vision was still blurry, and she had no strength in her body.
"Which angle do you think is better?"
Ernest asked her with a smile.
He was holding a camera, constantly searching for the right position.
Emma's eyes widened in panic, weakly.
"Ernest, what are you going to do?"
The Ernest who always smiled so brightly in front of the camera now seemed incredibly sinister.
He placed the camera on the table.
Took off his jacket.
With slender fingers, he began to unbutton his shirt.
Ernest smiled.
As charming as ever.
But like a devil from hell.
He said, "Of course, I'm fulfilling the wishes of all my fans."
Emma was furious and ashamed. "You're full of crap!"
"Shh, keep it down. Being too rough won't look good on camera." Ernest's fingers pressed against her lips. "Don't pretend. I know exactly what you fans think of me. You should feel honored to receive such a privilege."
