Chapter 461


    To put it inly, he wanted Zeke to be his sessor.


    “I’m sorry, I don’t favor tea.” Zeke smiled and made a tacit statement.


    Hades was slightly disappointed. “Well, I respect your decision. I’ll invite you for tea if you ever change


    your mind.”


    With that, Hades left.


    Zeke pulled out his phone and gave Sole Wolf a call, “Sole Wolf, help me check on Caleb Castaneda


    who is serving in the Northern Xinjiang Military District.”


    “Also, look up on his family background.”


    “Roger that!” Sole Wolf answered.


    ......


    Emily and Madeleine walked their way home. They have sold their car to raise money to save Sam


    Clemons, Emily’s brother.


    Recently, Madeleine was nning to sell their house as well.


    Logan was the one who fetched them when they first came to Love in a Fallen City.


    However, now Logan had no time to care about them since he was in deep trouble himself.


    On their way home, people on the streets were all talking about the sudden snowfall.


    “A sudden snowfall is always coupled with tragedy. Now it’s snowing in the mid of June, is it a telltale


    sign of a disaster?”


    “Nonsense! I heard from the news that a rich man has prepared the snowfall to propose to the love of


    his life.”


    “What?! You must be joking! Even if he is rich, how is it possible for him to control the weather?”

    “You know nothing about it. That rich man is capable of hiring more than ten aircraft to produce the


    snowfall effect.”


    “Oh, and I’ve heard that Hades and the eight gang leaders have alsoe to support him. Each one of


    them has prepared one hundred million worth of money gifts.”


    “I’ve heard that a high-ranking officer addressed the rich man ‘Sir’ in front of everyone.”


    “Holy moly, now I agree that money is everything!”


    Emily sped off as she felt even more miserable as the townspeople’s voices found their way into her


    ears.


    I’m the one who’s supposed to be the heroine in the limelight!


    But mom ruined my future because of her greed!


    I hate her!


    The two reached their neighborhood shortly after. Madeleine could no longer hold her sorrow, so she


    let out a wail.


    “Oh, my poor son! There’s no hope to bail him out of jail now!”


    “Now even Logan Hugh has submitted to that devil. Oh, Sam! My dear son, how can I save you?”


    Her loud wail had attracted the public’s attention.


    Emily was embarrassed and she quickly halted Madeleine. “Mom, stop crying. Everyone’s staring at


    us.”


    Emily’s words ignited Madeleine’s fury. “Emily Clemons, what do you mean? Your brother is going to


    spend the rest of his life in prison! Am I not allowed to cry?”


    “Look at you, you’re indifferent! Don’t you want your brother out of prison?”


    “Bear in mind that once you get married, you’re counting on your brother to stand up for you if your


    husband’s family treats you badly...”


    Madeleine’s eyes gleamed all of a sudden and said excitedly, “Emi, I have a great idea to save your


    brother. You’re beautiful. You can marry a high-ranking official or maybe be their mistress! The


    higher their position, the better! They could get your brother out of jail effortlessly.”


    Emily exploded in anger. “Are you crazy?! You’re asking your own daughter to be a mistress. You


    call yourself my biological mother? I will never do it.”


    Madeleine was enraged. “You must either be a mistress or serve the prison sentence for your


    brother. You’re my daughter, and I gave birth to you so that you could help your brother. But look at


    you, you can do nothing for your brother! You’re useless!”


    Emily was smoldering in resentment.


    What am I to my mom? A tool?! A f**king tool to serve my brother!


    If they weren’t in the public, she would definitely have a dreadful row with her mother.


    Emily fastened her pace so that she could arrive home earlier. All she wanted was to lock herself in her


    room and gain a peace of mind.


    She was shocked as soon as she pushed open the door.


    A person was sitting on the sofa in her room.


    It was a gamine woman with blunt bangs and wearing a form-fitting suit.


    Emily’s first reaction was that someone had broken into her house.


    The woman looked familiar. Emily managed to identify her identity after giving it some thought.


    Isn’t she Hadley Murphy, the one who caused a ruckus in the inauguration ceremony?


    Why is she here?


    The door is locked... How did she get in?
