00:00Episode 199 Old News, New Schemes
00:10Inside a quiet hospital room, Charlotte awoke to the sharp smell of disinfectant.
00:16After opening her eyes, she stared blankly at the ceiling.
00:20Lucas guarded her bedside.
00:22Upon seeing her wake, he quickly asked,
00:26Are you better?
00:27Do you still feel dizzy?
00:29How's H-World?
00:31She asked with a raspy voice.
00:34He thought for a moment before answering her honestly.
00:38It's been severely affected.
00:41Even the police have been alerted.
00:43But I've already told the legal team to cooperate with them.
00:47As for murder and kidnapping, the police can't find any evidence,
00:52so it shouldn't be an issue.
00:54However, a lot of our collaborations have been canceled,
00:58including advertisements and endorsements.
01:01Apart from Emma, even Hillary has received a cold reception.
01:06After hearing this, she flipped over, turning her back to him
01:10as she closed her eyes and burst into tears.
01:14H-World is destroyed.
01:17It's been destroyed by my own hands.
01:21He didn't know how to comfort her.
01:24All he could do is sit quietly by her side as she cried.
01:29After a fair bit of time had passed, he finally asked,
01:33Right now, there are reporters everywhere.
01:37The doctors asked how you're feeling
01:39and whether you'd like to go home to rest.
01:42Right now, is there any difference where I go?
01:46She retorted.
01:47He couldn't stand her defeated attitude,
01:50so he stood and grabbed her shirt.
01:53All these years, you've been through so much.
01:57Can't you handle a little setback?
01:59H-World Entertainment hasn't closed down yet.
02:03You still have plenty of people and resources
02:06that you can use to solve our issues.
02:09Is there any point of hiding like this?
02:13Don't forget, Emma's contract is still with H-World.
02:17Her popularity is still H-World's legacy.
02:21That's right.
02:23She suddenly sneered and sat up
02:25as she pulled away from his grip.
02:28Emma is still under our control.
02:31She shouldn't consider going anywhere.
02:33I'll tie her down with this contract.
02:36Seeing her recover her fighting spirit,
02:39he slowly felt relief.
02:42He grabbed his phone and stepped out of the hospital room
02:45to return a call to his assistant.
02:48What's wrong?
02:49Sir, a young girl has shown up at the agency
02:52and insists on seeing Emma.
02:55She keeps screaming that a life is on the line.
02:58She doesn't seem to be just a fan.
03:01Because Emma belonged to H-World,
03:04the young girl went directly to there.
03:06However, she had no idea her decision
03:10would cause Emma's destruction.
03:13Did you ask her what's wrong?
03:15She doesn't wanna tell us, the assistant replied.
03:19But from the looks of it, it's really urgent.
03:22She refuses to leave the lobby.
03:25Let me handle it when I get back.
03:27He hung up the phone before returning to the room.
03:30Charlotte had already changed her clothes.
03:33I'm going back to the agency.
03:36He grabbed her belongings and they returned to H-World
03:39under the protection of security.
03:42As they entered the lobby,
03:44Lucas's assistant was standing at the entrance.
03:47As soon as he spotted Lucas, he immediately approached
03:51and pointed to the girl pacing back and forth.
03:55That's her.
03:57Lucas nodded.
03:58After escorting Charlotte to her office,
04:01he returned to question the girl.
04:04Miss, I've heard you're urgently looking for Emma.
04:07What's the matter?
04:09The long-haired girl quickly stood up and replied,
04:13I'm looking for her to save a life.
04:16Save a life?
04:18Can you give me her contact details?
04:20She asked sincerely.
04:22I hope you can help me.
04:25He remained silent for a few seconds before replying,
04:29sorry, I'm the agency's director and Emma's our model.
04:33For Emma's safety, I can't reveal her private information.
04:38However, you can tell me everything
04:41and I'll pass the message onto Emma.
04:44As for whether she'll get in touch with you,
04:47that's her decision.
04:49The girl was a little distressed,
04:51but she understood his restrictions.
04:54So she told him everything.
04:58Emma promised to save someone,
05:00but I can't tell you who it is.
05:03This person is currently in a critical state.
05:06That's why I've come to H-World.
05:08I already tried to contact her through the radio
05:11and multiple other avenues,
05:13but she's too famous these days.
05:16Contacting her isn't easy.
05:19I hope you can tell her,
05:20no matter what the Davis family has done to her,
05:24this person is innocent.
05:26Since she promised to save her,
05:28she shouldn't go back on her words.
05:32What sickness are we talking about?
05:34Why isn't the hospital helping?
05:36He asked.
05:38If the hospital could help,
05:39I wouldn't be looking for Emma.
05:42I really hope you can relay my message.
05:44Thank you.
05:46After speaking, the girl wrote down her contact details
05:50and handed them to him before shaking his hand.
05:53She then left the lobby.
05:56He looked at the phone number in his hands
05:58and without a word, crumpled up the note
06:01and threw it straight into the trash.
06:05Davis family, he wondered.
06:07Returning to his office,
06:09he immediately instructed his assistant
06:12to investigate Nathan,
06:14who turned out to have a younger sister.
06:16More importantly, a sister with a serious illness.
06:21After seeing the information from his assistant,
06:24he leaned back in his chair,
06:26filled with satisfaction from his good luck.
06:30Emma, he mused.
06:32Let's see who the last one standing really is.
06:36Of course, he had no intention
06:39of passing the girl's plea to Emma.
06:42In London, Emma was doing a street fashion photo shoot.
06:46As the model who appeared in JK's finale,
06:49she skyrocketed in popularity within a short period
06:54and received an unimaginable number of offers.
06:58Eric lounged on the side of the road,
07:01dressed in a trench coat.
07:02He had simply followed the photography team
07:05and secretly watched over his wife.
07:08After finishing the shoot, she looked for him
07:12only to find that he had disappeared.
07:15She retrieved her phone from Lisa to message him.
07:19Where did you go?
07:21Am I not allowed to go to the bathroom?
07:24He laughed at his own joke.
07:26She smiled as she teased him back.
07:29Don't run around wildly
07:31or else I might decide to go home alone.
07:34Despite both being in London,
07:37Luke was extremely busy while Eric relaxed.
07:40As his boss strolled the streets,
07:43Luke attended video conferences on his behalf in the hotel,
07:47noting down the important information for him.
07:51I'm going to have a migraine too
07:53if Emma continues like this.
07:55Luke griped to himself.
07:57As for the reporter from her vision,
08:00he had lost track of Emma over the last couple of days.
08:04After careful investigation,
08:06he finally got a hold of her latest schedule
08:09and was rushing to the scene of her shoot.
08:12Her schedule's so secretive,
08:15she couldn't possibly just be working, he thought.
08:19On top of that, with his persistent clinging,
08:22she'd still managed to shake him off
08:25and return to New York, proving how cautious she was.
08:29However, the more cautious she was,
08:33the more curious he felt.
08:35He refused to believe
08:37that she would forever remain this alert.
08:40I'm certain, the reporter insisted,
08:43the man who dropped her off at the airport in Mexico
08:46will make another appearance.
08:52In order to find out about Margot's exact condition,
08:56Lucas instructed someone to retrieve the note
08:59that had been scrunched up and thrown in the bin.
09:02He then secretly found the girl's address.
09:05She hadn't expected Lucas to show up at her house.
09:09Assuming he had a message from Emma,
09:12she quickly took the note and left.
09:15She was left alone in the hotel room,
09:17waiting for him to return.
09:19Assuming he had a message from Emma,
09:22she quickly and cheerily led him into the house.
09:26Are you here to tell me that Margot will be saved?
09:29Lucas looked at the naive expression on her face
09:33and slowly curved his lips upward.
09:36Can you tell me Margot's current condition?
09:39The girl thought for a moment
09:41before sitting down on the sofa next to him.
09:44She hesitantly started to explain the situation.
09:48I met her in high school
09:49and we later went to study abroad together.
09:52Unfortunately, her kidneys weren't working well
09:55and we had no luck looking for a compatible donor.
09:59Eventually, her illness worsened,
10:01so we decided to return to America.
10:04At the time, Nathan brought Emma along
10:07to do a compatibility test.
10:09After all the failed compatibility tests in the past,
10:13she was the only one who was completely compatible.
10:17The girl lowered her head and sighed.
10:20Afterwards, we found out about the incident
10:22with Global Pictures.
10:24Margot knew her brother was in the wrong,
10:26so she didn't bring up Emma's promise again.
10:29She knew the Davis family owed her too much.
10:33Because of this, she had a huge argument
10:36with the rest of her family.
10:37Right now, she's all alone in the hospital.
10:41Actually, I wanted to look for Emma a long time ago,
10:45but Margot kept stopping me.
10:47And her condition has just continued to get worse.
10:51I'm seriously afraid she won't be able to make it.
10:55I had no choice but to look for Emma.
10:59She belongs to your agency, right?
11:01That's why I came looking for you.
11:04The girl was an outsider to the industry
11:06and had no idea how dark and dirty it was.
11:10She had simply found out Emma belonged to H-World,
11:14but had no idea how bad the model's relationship
11:17with the company was.
11:20I've tolerated it for long enough.
11:22Since Emma made a promise, she should follow through.
11:25Even the doctor has said that a person
11:27can continue normal bodily functions with just one kidney.
11:33After listening to the girl's explanation,
11:36Lucas weighed up the situation in his mind
11:39before asking, is she in a serious condition?
11:43Her kidneys are failing
11:45and dialysis has not been enough to alleviate her pain.
11:49The girl replied, her voice choking.
11:52Lucas nodded, I've already contacted Emma.
11:56However, she doesn't seem to recall anything
11:58about this matter and hasn't given me a proper answer.
12:02Also, she's currently in London
12:05and I have no way of speaking with her in person.
12:09The girl's face turned pale as she bit her lip.
12:12In the end, she nodded her head.
12:15No matter what happens, thank you anyway.
12:18You're welcome.
12:20He stood up to leave.
12:22As he walked away, he heard the girl mumble
12:24a few words behind him.
12:27He informed her, people from the entertainment industry
12:30really can't be trusted and Emma is no different.
12:34I feel bad that Margo was actually concerned about her.
12:38The girl had no idea that Lucas had never contacted Emma.
12:43This wasn't the first time he'd done something like this.
12:47Keeping secrets and deliberately provoking both sides
12:51of an issue was his usual method of dealing with things.
12:55It didn't matter to him,
12:57even if someone's life was involved.
13:00It was nighttime in London.
13:02Emma was preparing dinner for Eric
13:04in the manor they were staying in.
13:07To help relieve his tiredness,
13:09Emma limited her husband to just two hours of work per day.
13:13The remainder of his time was spent on accompanying her
13:16at work and releasing stress.
13:19He leaned against the kitchen doorway with his arms crossed
13:23as he watched Emma busily cooking.
13:26He smiled.
13:27This is how it feels to be looked after by someone.
13:31It turns out that Emma has such a powerful side to her,
13:35he thought.
13:36Eric had always prevented her from entering the kitchen
13:40and was especially afraid of her holding knives.
13:44Therefore, everything they bought in London was pre-prepared.
13:48After quickly putting the ingredients together,
13:51dinner was ready.
13:53After eating, the couple sat on the sofa,
13:56leaning against each other as they watched a movie.
13:59Emma had always been the one to lie in Eric's arms.
14:03However, he was the one lying on her thigh at that moment,
14:07using it as a pillow.
14:09Once they felt tired,
14:10they headed for bed and lay facing each other.
14:14Emma reached out her hand to stroke his face
14:17and spoke with a soft voice.
14:19"'Did you know you really scared me?'
14:22"'Uh-huh,' he gently nodded his head.
14:26"'She hadn't been simply scared.
14:28"'She was frightened to the point of tears.
14:32"'What will you do from now on?
14:34"'Will you hide all by yourself and endure the pain?'
14:38Eric looked into her eyes
14:40as he finally wrapped his arm around her neck
14:43and pulled her into his embrace,
14:45placing her head on his chest.
14:48"'I'm so glad to have you.
14:51"'What else could I wish for in this life?' he thought.
14:55"'I already have a person who constantly has me
14:58"'in her heart.'
15:00Emma lay on top of his body
15:02and buried her face in his chest.
15:04She reached out her arms to wrap around his waist.
15:08"'Eric, please don't get sick.'
15:11"'Uh-huh.'
15:12At that moment,
15:14he felt like a king who had been domesticated.
15:17To the outside world, he was fierce and powerful.
15:21But in front of Emma,
15:23he was allowed to show his weakness
15:25and be the one who was treasured and loved.
15:28It turned out that the relationship
15:30between a man and woman could also be like this.
15:35Whether they were the one to love or be loved,
15:38they were equally happy.
15:40"'After my work is done tomorrow,
15:42"'we'll return to New York.'
15:44Eric shook his head.
15:46"'In terms of our lifestyle,
15:48"'I can listen to you.
15:50"'However, when it comes to work,
15:52"'you must listen to me.
15:54"'Now that you've worked for JK,
15:56"'I've sent a huge offer to your email.
15:59"'You're currently in a place where you can progress.
16:03"'If you miss this opportunity or reject it,
16:06"'then your work with JK will all go to waste.'
16:10"'But I only had a migraine.
16:13"'It's not like it's a constant pain.'"
16:16Emma remained silent as she weighed up the pros and cons.
16:20She knew as well as Eric
16:22that if she were to miss out on this international offer,
16:27she wouldn't know how long it would take
16:28before an opportunity like this came around again.
16:33In that case, you should rest for another two days.
16:37"'As I said before,
16:38"'when it comes to our lifestyle, I'll listen to you.'
16:42Eric didn't argue as he whispered in her ear.
16:46"'I'll take care of what happens outside our home
16:49"'while you take care of the inside.'
16:51She smiled as she found a comfortable spot in his arms
16:55and fell asleep.
16:57After an entire day of work, she was exhausted.
17:01She was only one step away
17:03from becoming an international supermodel.
17:06She really hoped that everything would run smoothly.
17:09However, she was unaware
17:11that Lucas had already planted a ticking time bomb.
17:16Compared to the warm and comforting atmosphere
17:18in the bedroom,
17:20the study felt quite miserable to Luke and Lisa.
17:24One of them had to deal with the matters at Kaleidoscope
17:27while the other had to look through Emma's contracts.
17:31However, while Luke was working hard,
17:34Lisa couldn't help but smile
17:36as she peeked at him from behind.
