Chapter 324 Emm


    “Damon, you have to think this through!”


    Lena refused to give up, and even went over to hold Damon’s arm pleadingly.


    He shook her off irritably.


    “| should think things through, indeed. | was hesitant about that project your father proposed for me to jointly invest in. I''ve


    thought it through now. Tell him on my behalf that | definitely won’t throw my hard-earned money down the drain like that!”


    “Damon...”


    Lena continued putting up an act amidst her fear, tears streaming down her face.


    “Damon, Mnie has Jones Enterprise backing her up! My father and I have no one else to turn to. She might sound more


    believable than | do, but you can’t just trust her entirely and not trust me at all...”


    “Tsk, tsk.”


    Damon looked at Lena in disbelief, finally seeing for himself the extent of Lena’s pretense.


    “The Jones family has such a talented actress in its midst! If | hadn’t heard for myself your conversation in the meeting room, |


    would have beenpletely fooled by your acting chops! Pack your things and leave the


    company. | won''t extend any more pity to you and your father from now on.”


    Lena continued crying and shrieking, clinging onto Damon and refusing to let go, leaving him with no choice but to call security.


    When Lena finally understood that Damon had made up his mind, she wiped her tears away and said fiercely, | can walk. Don’t


    bother chasing me away!”


    She turned around and red at Mnie. “Mnie Jones, how vicious of you toe chasing after me to the ends of the world.


    You refuse to let me go!”


    “Don''t think so highly of yourself. | don’t care at all where you are! You''re the one provoking me. I’d be doing myself a disservice


    if | were to let you go.” Mnie shook her head, her eyes crystal clear. “Speaking of being vicious, I’m not vicious enough. Your


    best friend is probably even more vicious to you than | am.”


    Lena was dragged away by the security guard in her daze. Mnieposed herself, and asked Damon, “ Damon, since you


    find no issues with the proposal, | want to visit the exhibition venue today.”


    “Sure, I''ll send you the address,” Damon said, feeling slightly embarrassed. “Mnie, please excuse my indecisiveness before.”


    “Don’t say that. We both saw for ourselves how impable Lena’s acting was,” Mnie said helplessly. “In fact, she’s shown


    vast improvement since the time when she was under my wing...”

    Mnie had lunch at Thousand Acre’s office building with Damon. Afterward, she hailed a cab to the

    She familiarized herself with the surroundings, and took some photos which she sent to Mr. Smith. They started discussing the


    layout of the various perfumes and backdrops over the phone as she walked out.


    She stopped at a red light on a pedestrian crossing at a junction. A middle-ageddy of around 50 years old rushed past her with


    a dog in tow. Suddenly, the dog ran free of its leash and thedy started chasing after it.


    Before she could make a run for it, she tripped and fell.Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    “Madam, are you all right?”


    She fell right by Mnie’s side. When Mnie helped her up, Mnie realized that thedy was blind.


    “Dog, my dog!”


    Thedy was still asking for her dog that had run away. Mnie asked slowly, trying tofort her, “Madam, is that dog your


    guide dog? Is it newly trained?”


    The olddy only sighed.


    Mnie asked again, “Are you hurt?”


    “Are are you Emm?”


    Thedy perked her ears up, and suddenly became agitated. She tried hard to open her sagging eyelids and look in Mnie’s


    direction, but failed to see anything.


    “Are you Emm?” thedy asked anxiously, shaking Mnie’s hand.


    “Am | what?”


    Mnie couldn''t catch what thedy was saying, and thought that she was talking about her dog that had run away. “Where do


    you live? I''ll send you home, okay?”


    “You''re Emm! You''re Emm!”


    Thedy ignored her question and continued mumbling to herself.


    Mnie looked around helplessly. She remembered seeing a police station on her way here, which was not far from the


    exhibition venue. She started to cajole the blinddy while leading her to the police station.


    When Mnie entered the police station and exined what just happened to a policeman, he asked the blinddy, “Do you


    have an identity card?”


    Thedy shook her head.


    “Do you know where you live? Do you have a phone to contact someone you know?” the policeman asked another question.


    Thedy shook her head again.


    “It''s a lost and blind old woman. Pay close attention to anyone reported lost and see if she fits the description. Hopefully, her


    children wille and fetch her home,” one policeman said to another.

    When the blinddy heard what the policeman said, she suddenly piped up, “I know her! She’s Emm! | don’t need someone else


    to fetch me home, I''ll go with her!”


    The policemen immediately turned to look at Mnie. It wasmon nowadays for daughters to not acknowledge their own


    mothers.


    Mnieposed herself, and tried to exin things. “I really don’t know her. | found her by the roadside. I’m not Emm. either.”


    “She is Emm!”


    The blinddy started bing agitated. She grabbed the sleeve of one of the policemen. “Does she haverge eyes, a high


    nose bridge, and look clean and fair-skinned?”


    The policemen surveyed Mnie from head to toe and nodded. “She does.”


    “Then she’s Emm! Emm, I’ve missed you so much. Don’t leave me!” the blinddy started sobbing as she said.


    Mnie held thedy’s arm, and said helplessly, “Madam, your description is too vague. Can you give more details about how


    Emm looks?”


    “She''s as pretty as a doll! Her hair is tied in two ponytails with red bowknots at the end. They’re in the same color as the scarf


    she wears, too!” the blinddy said, her voice softening as she reminisced about the past.
