Chapter 144 Tracking Emily
When he asked this question, Aron's eyes were very complicated. Elly saw the light of jealousy in those eyes, but she quickly erased it in her mind.
Her relationship with Aron was a cooperative relationship. He only treats her as a sister. How can he be jealous?
After being in a trance, Elly denied it. "No, I don't care about him. I took care of him all night because I felt sorry for him. The bartender called me and I felt guilty if I did not come. The feeling of guilt makes me feel uneasy. "
Elly said that her eyes were a little evasive, and Aron saw everything with eyes that could not lie, but he had no intention of exposing it. "That's what happened." Elly said.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled from ear to ear. "Of course, what if it can't be? I've been thinking." She was afraid that Aron would ask her again, she immediately changed the subject. "Where are you going?"
"Go out and find me!" Aron sighed. "When I pick you up at home, there is no one, and I am afraid that something has happened to you. I am going to call the police to find a lost child and it is you."
Elly glared at him and then bowed her head and apologized. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry you. It was so sudden that I forgot to tell you, and I didn't call to inform the company that I would be late."
"Come on, I'll be fine." He waved his hand easily, and he didn't want to go too deep.
As Elly looked at Aron, he had a calm face at the same time tired. Elly asked hesitantly. "Aron, can you do me a favor?"
"What's the matter?" For Aron, nothing was impossible as long as Elly says it.
Elly glanced at the closed room door and looked around warily, though there were only two people in there. Aron smiled at her cautious posture. "What's going on? Come on. Don't you want to tell me, you want me to?
Elly ignored Aron's sarcastic tone, she stated her request directly. "Can you help me track the movements of the Hargreaves in the next few days?
"Follow Alex? Are you worried that he will get drunk at night and have no one to take care of him?" Aron came up with a crazy idea.
"Where are you going? He was very drunk, and I didn't take part in it." Elly cannot explain anymore. "Emily's birthday is in three days. He will definitely come to her to celebrate. I'm sure he knows where she lives now. As long as I track Alex's every move, I will get information about the wooden board summit."
"Do you want to track Alex for information about Emily? She's starting to believe that you don't have feelings for Alex anymore.
She always believe that Emily had paid the price for the crime, and she must had known something he was not telling him.
"Didn't these two break up and no longer have contact with each other? Maybe Alex's relationship with Mr. Russel is worse than you think?"
In the depths of her memory, she had been a wife for so many years under Alex's ruthlessness, she was admitting the humiliation of countless pain and disgust, and she knew how fascinated he was by Emily. On the surface, he pretended to avenge her. But Alex's real purpose was to protect Emily.
To retrieve the memory, Elly always understood, no matter how many years, no matter how many circumstances, Alex's heart would never forget Emily. In her years as a lawfully wedded wife, she had a clear sense of the humiliation before the divorce.
"Maybe you don't know. Emily was once married to someone else, but Alex always remembered and did not forget that when she came back, he was going to pick her up." Elly answered. "So, what's going on with the breakup? Go their separate ways and get back together." Elly smiled sarcastically and nodded in affirmation. "He will certainly come to see Emily. In the past, even though Emily had married someone else, he kept giving gifts and kept worrying about her." Elly said.
"But Elly is his legitimate wife and it's her birthday, and Alex certainly doesn't know the date. You didn't say that."
Aron thought it was not that simple, he asked. "How do you know Emily is in Alberta? What if she leaves town?"
"No, no." Elly firmly expressed a look of sadness. In terms of Alex's tyranny, she would not let him out of her sight.
Aron saw Elly's affirmation and reasonable analysis, he put all his worries aside and was ready to gamble with her.
Three days later, events proved that Elly's guess was correct.
Aron took a follow-up photo of Elly, and there was a picture of hesitation in her eyes. "My men saw him come to this remote villa. From the outside, it seems that no one lives in the villa, and we are not sure whether Emily lives here or not. "
Elly looked at the picture and did not pay attention to the villa, but focused on the beautiful bag in Alex's hand.
"Emily must live in it. Today was Emily's birthday. That bag must be a gift for her."
"What's so special about this bag? Maybe he brought a friend?" Aaron asked Elly.
"No, no." Elly insists that this was Emily's favorite famous brand. "This bag style had only recently been available in a limited edition. Alex was fully aware of Emily's limited collection preference."
Aaron did not expect that she could analyze a lot of things from only one handbag.
Elly squinted at the villa in the picture. It turned out that Emily was hidden in such a remote place from the city. No wonder she couldn't find a trace, as if she had suddenly disappeared from this world.
Elly's guess was only half right. Alex did not volunteer to come to the villa, nor did he buy a bag for Emily, this was all because of the help of his friends.
Alex had just entered the villa and was warmly welcomed. Peter saw the pink bag in Alex's hand and was very grateful. "Well, you can really get it. I'm always worried that you can't even place an order."
Alex was not interested in flattery. He gave the bag to Peter and asked curiously. "Why do you suddenly want this?"
"You must not know that this is a well-known brand, this style is very popular recently, limited edition, I have ordered it, but too late it's out of stock." Alex's depression was serious recently. "I want to make her happy." Peter added.
Peter's effort to take care of Emily understood, but he didn't understand the value of giving an expensive bag to a fool as sensible as a five-year-old kid. Alex sighed in his heart and didn't say anything.
Alex knew that his task was completed and he was about to leave, but he was stopped by Peter.
"Alex, don't worry. Wish Emily a happy birthday with me"
"Alex, you are not happy." Peter was still convincing Alex. "I should go, Emily has nothing to do with me." Alex said.
He stepped on his legs to go. Peter stood in the way and begged shyly on his face. "Everything is over, hasn't you already faced the punishment from court? Why don't you forgive her?"
"What?" Alex said bluntly. "You have said that to me many times before. I'll never forgive her. She framed Elly again and again and almost killed her. If it hadn't been for you, I would have put her in prison."
Peter knew Alex's personality. Alex was a ruthless man, but also he had a good personality too, he just did not show it. Had it not been for his attempt to protect Emily, Alex would have killed her more than once.
In the end, Peter did not dare to take Alex back to the villa and watched him leave. There was a voice of dissatisfaction behind him.
"Why did my brother go home? Isn't he's here to celebrate my birthday? Emily appeared in a beautiful dress with wrinkles all over her face. "No one will remember my birthday. I am an unwanted child, without love from my parents."
Peter saw Emily's tearful eyes, he hurriedly hugged her and coaxed her in a whisper.
"No, I remember your birthday. I prepared a great birthday party for you, and your favorite food too." Peter put the things in his hand in front of her. "Emily, here your birthday present." He softened said.
As he spoke, Peter opened the pink bag in his hand and took a glance at it, because of that Emily was unable to move her eyes. She held the bag in bliss to her hand.
"This bag is so beautiful! I love it!"
Peter looked at Emily's childish smile, he breathed a sigh of relief. What he fears most was her tears. Emily knew whether the bag was worth it or not, and he didn't care.
Emily forgot her birthday party for a moment and ran back to her room. "I'll get the present."
When the door closed, Emily's face sank and her smile became dull.
