Chapter 687
As they were mounting the stairs up, Emily''s heart began to beat faster as well.
When they went up to the third floor, they saw Selena standing at thending with an anxious look.
When she saw Simon holding Emily, she immediately went forward excitedly. "Sis, are you okay?"
Selena worriedly looked her up and down. When she was sure that Emily was fine, she breathed a
sigh of relief.
Holding Emily''s hand tightly, she cried and said sadly, "You''re back! I am so worried about you. I
regretted so much that I didn''t stop you. Thank God you''re all right. Otherwise, I would live with a
pervasive sense of guilt for the rest of my life! Simon, you are awesome. I know that you can save
my sister!"
Emily was moved when she heard the front part. But when she heard the ttery, her mouth
twitched.
She looked up at the upstairs and asked with a frown, "It''s so noisy. What''s going on?"
Although there were still several steps left, the noise inside was loud enough to be heard through
the door.
"You know, those people came again!" Selena slouched as she said angrily with red eyes, "Every
bloody day! It''s incessant. They don''t give us a temporary respite. They even drove me out of the
house because I was in the way!"
Hearing this, Emily hurriedly struggled, "Simon, put me down!"
Simon acted as if he didn''t hear anything. He just frowned and continued to lifted her upstairs.
When they opened the door with the key, they found the room was crowded with middle-aged men
and women. All of them stood akimbo and swore at the same time. Amid crowds, aunt and uncle
sat still on the sofa with their heads lowered, saying nothing.
Aunt who was quick-tempered, stood up and said to the crowd, "We have no money. You can take
away whatever you like in this house!"
"You wish! Look at what you get in your house, they are worth nothing!" One of them retorted
bluntly. "We were tricked out of our life savings! We''re all penniless now. We work tirelessly for a
pittance. We trusted you, so we took out all the money! You promised us at that time that your friend
was reliable and wrote a guarantee!"

"Your friend runs away, but you''re still here! Even the police can''t guarantee when we can get our
money back. You''re killing us! My life is ruined!"
All of a sudden, the crowd was in a tumult. At this time, a man came out of the crowd with a
particrly fierce expression.
Emily soon recognized that the man was the one who waved his fist at the doorst time. She
learned from Selena that the injury on her uncle''s forehead was also caused by the man. When they
were arguing, he pushed uncle and uncle''s head hit the sofa.
She tensed for fear that the man would beat her uncle.
The man went fiercely to the sofa, pointed at uncle, and said, "I have already told you that if I don''t
pay our money back, I will beat you up! Although you didn''t mean to cheat us, we give you the
money because of your guarantee. So just give money to us!"
When the sonorous and forceful words came out, the crowd went into a frenzy. They all red at
the couple with hatred.
"I''ll give you the money."
A deep male voice rang out.
Simon said slowly, but it drowned the crowd out. His simple words were like a p of thunder blown
up from the ground, which was full of deterrent force. Everyone turned to look over.
Aunt and uncle were also stunned. They found that in addition to their daughter and niece, there
was also a tall and straight man at the door who gestured with great dignity.
Emily bit her lips and looked at him. "Simon..."
Simon tightened his grip, as if he wasforting her.
He handed the key to his car to Selena and said, "Selena, please take the silver suitcase here It''s in
the trunk of my car!"
"Okay!" Selena quickly took it and run out.
Simon still held her firmly and strode into the living room in silence.
Perhaps he projected a high wattage aura so that everyone around him would subconsciously listen
to him. Everyone fell silence, looking at him with curiosity and doubt. They even made way for him
at the same time.
Emily was ced on the sofa. Her aunt and uncle were looking at each other in dismay.
The door was opened again. She didn''t expect that her cousin with a ster on her legs could run
back so fast. In addition to the car key that Simon had just given her, she was excitedly carrying the
silver suitcase.
When she opened the suitcase, Emily and the others all took a deep breath.
It was definitely a scene that could only be seen in movies. Thick wads of $100 notes were neatly
ced in it.
"Oh my god!"
"Ah, there''s a lot of money in here!"
Everyone was frightened and cried out in a low voice.
Simon stood there like a tree, and he boomed, "The money and interests we promised before will
give to everyone! Please return the lOUs, and then take the money and leave. If you dare toe
back and make trouble after you get out of here, I will call the police! I promise you''re gonna regret
that."
When he spoke, his beautiful eyes were narrowed, which imparted a dignified appearance to him.
Emily stared at his profile in a daze.
It had to be said that this was the most effective way of solving this problem. No matter how hard
they begged, they argued, it didn''t work. However, seeing the money, those people immediately
shut their mouths up.
However, he had made up a n in such a short time...
Not only did he rescue her from the trade-off in the ck market, but he also got such arge case
of money!
In less than half an hour, the crowd in the living room dispersed.
After closing the door, peace was finally restored in the house. Aunt and uncle had yet to react.
They did not expect that the crisis could be easily solved. Tentacles of fear that closed around them
suddenly disappeared!
Aunt looked at the handsome man who unexpectedly showed up in shock, then she asked
hesitantly, "Emily, who is..."
