Chapter 82
Seeing this, the two hooligans were all stunned and trembled with fear. After tying up the third man, Emilia took a deep breath before resting against the wall. A brief moment later, she tore off the adhesive tapes on their mouths.
“Tell me. Who ordered you guys to attack me? What benefits are you guys getting from this? What were you guys told to do?”
Emilia waved the baseball bat that she had just used to knock on Jack’s head. Seeing that, the three hooligans couldn’t help but feel that Emilia seemed more like a gangster than them.
“W–We think you’re good–looking, and that thought alone fueled our malicious intention toward you. However, we didn’t harm you, right? Shouldn’t you spare us too?”
Their stubbornness triggered Emilia. With that, she fished out her stun gun indifferently.
“This is a private parking lot. One would need the password to enter here. Do you think I’m a fool?”
Raising her baseball bat, she smashed it hard on Ugo’s outer thigh.
“Ahhh!”
Emilia seemed as heartless as the devil as she ignored Ugo’s painful howl. The next moment, she shifted her attention to Kaleb, who was shaking in terror at that time.
“Listen to me. Don’t hit me!” Shivering, Kaleb continued, “We only know him by his surname, Yates. From his voice, I think that he’s in his late forties. He hired us online and mentioned to us that you’re a pretty girl. We have his instruction to kidnap you and thereafter assault you. We were also asked to record a video for him. He will pay us 600 thousand dollars after we complete the job.“.
“Did he seriously hire people to violate his niece with 600 thousand dollars?” Emilia thought inwardly.
Emilia’s face turned icy cold in an instant. Noticing the change in her expression, the three hooligans quivered and said, “We told you everything. Please spare us!”
The three of them were astounded upon seeing how luxurious her parking lot was a while ago. If it hadn’t been for the temptation of 600

thousand dollars, they would pull out instead.
Little did they know they would end up with empty hands that day. Not only did they fail to take advantage of Emilia, but they risked losing their legs as well.
Looking at their glurn expressions, Emilia sneered in response.
She slowly stood up and gazed down at three of them. At the same time, she waved the baseball bat in her hand, which in return made them even more frightened.
“I can give all of you a chance to redeem yourselves.”
Hearing Emilia’s words, their eyes lit up instantly. “How can we do that?” Emilia narrowed her eyes and uttered, “Go back and tell Yates that you guys have recorded the video. Ask him for the money in exchange.” “Um…” The three exchanged glances and shared a hesitant expression. Emilia was sharp–minded to notice that. With that, she hit them with one. strike after another.
“No! Stop! Stop hitting!”
Emilia hit them with her baseball bat again. It was extremely painful that they could feel agony in their bones. Their wounds gradually turned. swollen and started to bruise badly.
The three of them sighed in defeat and dared not to utter a word. They were afraid that they would offend her again.
“Deal!”
Meanwhile, in Jason’s mansion, Rebecca exclaimed, “Dad, you’re
amazing! By the time the video of Emilia getting assaulted in the parking lot gets leaked out, she would be too humiliated to take over the role of CEO of Saunders Group!”
Hearing Jason’s plan, Rebecca was overjoyed. She looked forward to watching the tape of Emilia getting violated by those hooligans.
She wished for nothing but to ruin Emilia’s reputation once and for all.
In the meantime, Victoria pretended to sigh and commented, “Emilia has suffered so much. I’m concerned that the incident would give a huge blow to Emilia later. I hope that she won’t do anything stupid like ending her life later…”
That made Rebecca snort coldly. “Come on! Have you forgotten how she bullied our family and looked down upon us? I think it’s best if she’s

dead. That would save us from a lot of troubles.”
All this while, Rebecca was known as the eldest daughter of the Saunders. It was assumed by all that Rebecca would take over Saunders Group one day. Emilia’s appearance posed a threat to her. Who would have thought that someone prettier and more capable would replace her someday? Because of that, many of her girlfriends had started to grow distant from her. They even ridiculed her behind. All of that made Rebecca hate Emilia to the core.
Sensing something, Victoria felt uneasy, thanks to her powerful intuition. She gazed at Jason worriedly and asked, “You have been enduring for so many years. Why are you doing this now?”
Jason was sitting on the chaise lounge leisurely. Hearing that question from Victoria, he flashed a solemn expression.
“Didn’t you read the news today? Norman is back. The Gibson family is not to be messed with. Previously, we only needed to deal with Jacob. Now that Norman is back, we have to do something before it’s too late.” Hearing Jason’s words, Victoria became silent.
“Don’t worry. I find those hooligans to go after her randomly. Hopefully, Emilia’s reputation will be tarnished, and she will have no choice but to quit the company. With that, I can take over the company naturally. As long as the project is approved, Norman’s return would be useless.” He added, “Even if the plan fails, it won’t affect me. Do you think that Emilia could pin the allegation on me? She has neither witnesses nor solid evidence to go against me. Even if she accuses me with the help of those three hooligans, I can easily dodge it by saying that I’ve been falsely accused.”
Just by hearing his replies, Victoria could tell that Jason had everything all planned out properly.
“But…”
Victoria couldn’t help but feel uneasy, nevertheless.
“Stop overthinking. Look! I have a phone call coming in!”
It was at that moment Jason’s phone vibrated. Seeing that strange. number, he showed a surprised look. To avoid suspicion, he registered a new number. Only those three hooligans that he hired knew that number.
Rebecca’s eyes lit up instantly. She hurriedly urged Jason to answer the

phone.
Jason answered, “How is it?”
“It’s done. Take the money and meet us in the underground parking lot at Twelve Southwater Road. You may do the checking there.”
Upon saying that, the call was ended abruptly.
Meanwhile, Rebecca was delighted to hear that. “Haha! Emilia’s about to be known as a cheap woman! Let’s see if she still has the audacity to arrogantly in front of me!”
