My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 376

Chapter 376: Emma Is In Danger! (1)
Emma was so curious that she ignored their sentences and asked, “Thomas, why are you here? Shouldn’t you be at the police station’s jail?”

Thomas chuckled.

“Sis, you don’t need to know how I got out of that damn place!” Thomas said coldly, his eyes sharp as he looked at Emma. “Just answer our question. Who did you meet in the capital?”

Emma shut her mouth tightly as she looked at them coldly. There was no way she would tell them about Natalie and Bella. Otherwise, they would all rush to the capital to drag Natalie back to this city and make a deal with Bella to solve their problem.

How pathetic they are! She felt disgusted just looking at them, and realizing they bore the same last name as she made her disgusted even more.

Lucas Donovan’s patience was starting to run thin. He looked at Emma, who narrowed her eyes at him but didn’t say anything.

“Sister Emma, are you with Bella and Natalie in the capital?” Lucas Donovan’s cold voice suddenly made Emma’s body shiver.

‘How could he guess it right? Did they succeed in tailing me?’ Emma swallowed.

After a few more seconds of staring at her foolish brother, she finally spoke.

“Lucas, why are you still looking for Natalie and Bella?” She asked, even though she could guess his answer.

Seeing that the three of them didn’t answer her question, Emma continued, “Don’t tell me you try to look after them because you think they can help you solve the company’s problems!? Is it!?”

Their expressions slowly became stiff and dark, like a dark cloud looming behind them. Emma vented her anger in her mind, feeling ashamed of their shamelessness.

“It’s all because of Bella! If only she hadn’t disappeared and married Bradley, everything would be fine.”

Emma was dumbfounded hearing her older brother’s words. How could he casually blame Bella for something that was not her fault?

Unable to take it anymore, Emma expressed her anger, “Jacob Donovan, Lucas Donovan, and you, Thomas Donovan…” Her voice sounded cold enough to cause all of them in the room to be surprised to see her calm expression slowly turn sharp.

After ensuring all her brothers pay attention to her voice, she continues, “Are you guys pretending to be stupid, or are you guys really STUPID?”

Jacobs and the others frown more visibly, which brings joy to Emma.

“How can you blame Bella? She had nothing to do with your shameless decisions. Do you think Bella is a little girl? Let me remind you all, especially you, Lucas.” Emma narrowed her angry gaze at him. “Your daughter is an adult. She is already thirty, not thirteen!”

“You—” Lucas Donovan could not continue his sentence; Emma raised her hand to silence him.

“Lucas, stop claiming that Bella is your daughter. You don’t represent a father figure to her at all. Simply put, you don’t deserve to be Bella’s father.”

Lucas couldn’t hold himself back. Hearing his sister’s words, he felt like his blood pressure was about to explode.

“What the heck are you trying to say, sister Emma?” Lucas snapped. This was the first time he raised his voice to her, but he didn’t regret it at all.

“For goodness’ sake, Lucas Donovan! How can you not understand what I’m saying? Gosh! No wonder Natalie left you. Not only rude, but you’re stupid, too!” Emma stifled a laugh, looking at how red her brother’s face was now.

As if all the blood was now flowing towards his face, Lucas pointed his finger at Emma in annoyance.

“Emma, even though you are older than me, I’m not afraid of having to discipline you like I disciplined that stupid Natalie. Likewise with Bella…”

Lucas took a deep breath, filling the air in his chest, which suddenly felt tight; his anger almost suffocated him.

“What an ignorant damn daughter. If I find her, I won’t show her mercy. How dare she run away from me? And now, she also teaches her mother to run away!!” Lucas’s eyes turned red as if a fire had now burned there. He was so pissed off.

Jacob and Thomas Donovan, who witnessed Emma and Lucas exchanging insult words, could only remain silent—waiting for these two to stop.

However, it didn’t take long. Suddenly, Emma burst out laughing, and the three men raised their eyebrows, confused.

“Oh dear Lucas, stop it, please. Stop it, or you will regret it.”

Lucas was even more confused hearing that.

“Do you want me to give you a suggestion, Lucas?” Emma said, delighted to see her brother’s angry expression. “If you continue to blame Bella and try to take care of her, you might as well dig your own grave because you’ll need it soon.”

“Damn it, sister!” Lucas cursed, trying to restrain himself from slapping his older sister. He clenched his fists, attempting to calm his anger.

“I know it! Emma, you know where Bella is, right?” Jacob Donovan suddenly interjected.

A wide smile appeared on Jacob’s lips as he waited for Emma to respond. However, his sister didn’t look at him; instead, she checked her cellphone.

Emma was surprised to see Bella’s short text:

[Bella] Aunty, I know. My father and my uncles are in your house. I’m sending my people to stand by if they try to harm you.

[Bella] Call me and put it on speaker. And pretend nothing happened.

[Bella] Take care, Aunty…

Instantly, Emma felt warm, pleasant air fill her heart. The tension, the scary thoughts that filled her mind and heart earlier, slowly faded.

She was so happy that Bella knew what was happening in her house. She would be safe if her stupid brother tried to hurt her and her people.

After she followed Bella’s request, Emma placed her cell phone beside her, pretending nothing had happened.

Later, her gaze fixed on her older brother, Jacob. She wasn’t afraid of him now.

She trusted Bella would protect her if her shameless brother tried to force her to reveal the truth about Bella and Natalie’s location.
