A white light flashed up into the sky. It shot through the sky, looking like a rose. Then, when it leaped to the sky above the castle, it exploded. 

When the fireworks exploded, the people below the float could see clearly. “I saw it,” they exclaimed. 

“I saw it too,” others wailed. “But I’m definitely not the first person to see the fireworks.” 

With Liam’s reminder, Emma had already seen the first trace of the firework before it exploded. They were undoubtedly the first people to see the castle fireworks tonight. All the unexpected encounters that one had thought were, in reality, planned by someone secretly. 

When they returned to Icovine Estate, it was already late at night. 

Liam parked the car in the garage. Emma entered the house first and heard two servants talking. 

The first servant said, “Mr. Hall is so good to Mrs. Hall. I heard Mr. Hall went to the family residence today. When he came back, he did not look good. However, when he went to the garden and saw that Mrs. Hall’s hand was injured, his expression changed. I couldn’t tell he was in a bad mood at all.” 

The second servant remarked, “No wonder I saw Mr. Hall’s gloomy expression when I cut grass in the afternoon. Mr. Simon must be ostracizing Mrs. Hall again.” 

“What is Mr. Simon thinking? Mrs. Hall is so good, but he’s still not satisfied. She’s capable and is very concerned about us. How can those delicate socialites be better than her?” the first servant added. 

The people at Icovine Estate liked Emma. 

When Emma heard that they liked her, she did not say anything and did not disturb them. Instead, she smiled and turned to return to her room. 

After returning to the room, Emma called Levi. “Did Liam go to the family residence today?” 

Levi now had priority use of Emma’s blood and was also loyal to her. He honestly replied at once, “Yes.“” 

“Did Simon make things difficult for him?” Emma asked. 

Levi told Emma everything that happened in the Hall family’s residence. 

“Is that all? Nothing else?” Emma understood Liam. If it were just because of Simon, Liam would not be depressed 

because he would feel that it was not worth it.

Levi thought carefully again. “I remember now. On the way back, I saw Mr. Hall looking at Mr. Simon’s previous wife’s photo on his phone…” 

Simon’s previous wife was Liam’s biological mother. 

Emma knew from her previous life that Liam had a biological mother who died young. This was similar to what she had experienced. However, she had never heard Llam mention her. 

But Liam would probably miss his mother. 

Thinking of this, Emma said, “Got it, Levi. Thanks.” 

“Madam, it’s nothing.” Levi replied. 

After hanging up, Emma instructed Josiah on a new task related to Liam’s mother. 

At that moment, Liam, who had returned from the garage, opened the door and walked in. He held a gift box and placed it on the table before Emma. “It’s a delivery for you.” 

“Me?” Emma opened it curiously. It was sent to her by her Uncle Philip. Inside the box was a pair of pink wrist guards. 

Emma picked them up. The wrist guards looked ordinary, but it was incorporated with Philip’s latest high–tech invention. Not only could it adjust its temperature and be used as a hot or cold compress, it also had a massage function. 

“Last time, I accidentally mentioned that your wrist is a little uncomfortable,” Liam said. “Your Uncle Philip has been doing some small experiments in Icovine Estate. It seems like he wants to give you this.” 

Emma looked at the pink wrist guards and felt warmth in her heart. Although she did not have a mother, she still had uncles who doted on her. 

But Liam… 

Emma would let Liam feel the warmth of kinship. 

Emma received an official email from Charon Military School the next day. The email indicated that the information she submitted had been approved. She would officially represent Charon Military School in the Krot Competition. 

In recent years, very few girls in Charon Military School could represent the school in the competition, but this year was different. There was Emma.

The remaining spot was given to Erza. This result was not too surprising. 

Among the boys, Erza was similar to Emma. 

To train them for the competition, the school gave them a separate training course. 

When Emma saw Erza again, he had one hand in his pocket and was whistling nonchalantly. He looked arrogant and evil, and was still his usual sloppy self. 

“Emma, honey, we have a chance to go to Yenovia together this time. How about it? You can’t refuse to come with me this time, right?” Erza said. 

Emma raised her eyebrows. “If you have the time, why don’t you care about your childhood friend?” 

“Childhood friend?” Erza, the player, had obviously forgotten about Faith. 

Emma did not mention it again. They stood at the starting line at the same time, preparing for the coach to blow the whistle and start running. 

Suddenly, Emma asked, “Erza, are you confident about winning the men’s world champion in this competition?” 

Erza did not expect Emma to suddenly ask such a question. “Emma, honey, are you concerned about me?” 

Emma smiled. “I just want to say that I will definitely be the champion for women. If you can’t get first place, your family probably won’t allow you to leave the army, right?” 

Emma had more or less heard about the Burnson family and Erza. 

The Burnson family had always wanted Erza to join the military, but Erza’s heart was not there. His dream was to Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

open an amusement park for beauties. 

The Burnson family was in the military for several generations. Lennon was almost angered to death by Erza. 

In the end, Lennon still could not dissuade Erza. He only said that if Erza could represent Charon Military School in the Krot Competition and obtain the best ranking in the school’s history, he would allow Erza to do what he 

wanted. 

Emma didn’t know what relationship Lennon had with Charon Military School, but she knew that Erza had worked hard for more than ten years for this agreement. 

Now that Erza had finally made it to Charon and gotten first place, he was qualified to participate in the Krot Competition. 

Emma was sure she would get first place. If Erza wanted to get the best record in the school’s history, he could only get a first place like her.

However, the competition was filled with experts. It was still unknown if Erza would be able to get first place. 

Emma actually did not care much about her ranking in the competition because she and Liam had more important things to do. 

But after interacting with Erza for so long, even though Emma did not have a good impression of him, she did not hate him. If this ranking was very important to Erza…. 

Emma didn’t mind helping Erza. She didn’t say she was intentionally going easy on him, but Erza understood what 

she meant. 

Erza said, “Grandpa made that request to see how capable I am. If I can get a ranking, it’s for the best. If I can’t, it’s 

my luck. You just perform as usual. This has nothing to do with you.” 

Of course, Erza wanted to win. He wanted to do what he desired. However, he could not rely on Emma to sacrifice 

herself in order to do that. 

After Emma understood what Erza meant, she raised her eyebrows and nodded. 

At this moment, the whistle blew. 

In an instant, Emma and Erza shot forth like arrows that had left the bow. They exerted all their strength and 

dashed forward.
