Chapter 290 - An Unexpected Message (1/2)

Avaleigh felt her heart race at a hundred miles per hour. As her face began to heat up, she quickly turned her head and started chasing after her members before the man saw her blush. His words warmed her heart and his voice made her nervous.

Watching her run away, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Emerson's lips. After the love of his life married his brother, his heart felt a little lost; like it had been plucked out of his chest, never to return again. But, at that moment, as it raced rapidly, he could hear it thumping in his ears and he knew that this woman had helped him find it again. It made him excited and nervous, but most importantly, it made him feel alive.

The loading dock was busy as the staff quickly packed up and returned to work, but Emerson stood in the middle like they didn't exist as his eyes remained focused on the woman that was running away from him. Only after she disappeared from his line of sight, did he turn around calmly and leave.

Meanwhile, not too far away, a pair of eyes were glaring at him with frustration. It was Mimi. No one else noticed, but she saw the way he looked at Avaleigh and it bothered her. Why was he looking at Avaleigh in that way? Shouldn't that gaze be left for her instead?

The man had visited her room last night and brought her breakfast this morning. He obviously liked her. Did Avaleigh steal him away?

”That little b*tch steals everything from me,” she whispered to herself between gritted teeth.

Avaleigh stole her position as leader, she stole the limelight, and she stole numerous opportunities from her, but this was the last straw. She was not letting her steal Emerson as well!

She stormed into the backstage and pulled out a little bottle of medicine from her handbag. She had a habit of taking laxatives to help her lose weight and always carried it around with her. With a smirk, she slipped the bottle into her pocket and ran over to join her group members.

That little b*tch needed to be taught a lesson.

Meanwhile, not too far away in the Hong Kong/Macau branch of Interpol, Trisha was investigating Joel Gabriel Santos and his possible connection with Trojan.

She was working with Jackson when Trojan was arrested and she was even there on the wharf the day that the man was shot. Since that day, the man fell into a coma and had not woken up. He was being detained inside a cell and was being watched over by police 24 hours a day with daily visits from doctors, but it didn't seem like he was waking up any time soon and the doctors predicted he would have brain damage even if he woke up.

Unable to question the man himself, Trisha had no choice but to trace the man's travel records. Halia said he had traveled to Boracay to discuss business with Joel Gabriel Santos. If she was right, then there would definitely be records at the immigration office, so she immediately gave immigration a phone call to check.
