Second Chances

Chapter 14 

The police rightfully showed them the evidence Emma provided, including the proof of Layla and Elijah drugging Emma last time and the video of how Elijah lured her into the room and tried to give her the drugged coffee. 

“No way! Elijah would never do that! It must be Aria’s idea. You must have tricked him into doing this, haven’t you, Aria? “asked Madeline. 

Aria’s lips went pale. It was her idea, but she got the drug on the dark web. ‘How did Emma have helped her.‘ 

bout this?‘ she wondered, ‘Liam must 

“This has nothing to do with me, officer. Emma framed me. You can’t arrest me. It’s my engagement party today.” Aria panicked and begged the police. 

Emma took a step forward and whispered in Aria’s ear. “Welcome to hell, Aria. Like the engagement gift I had for you?” 

“I’m not going! No! Get your hands off of me, Emma!” Aria yelled. 

Emma wanted to drag her off the stage, but before she could even touch Aria, Aria yowled and fell off the stage. Blood quickly stained Aria’s 

white dress. 

“I’m bleeding! My Baby!” Aria’s scream and the blood put everyone in panic. 

“She’s bleeding! Come and help her!” 

“Someone call an ambulance!” 

Madeline’s face went pale instantly. The Taylor family was willing to accept Aria mostly because she was pregnant with Elijah’s baby. A baby was precious for the Taylor family, and they would do anything for it. But what happened now was a severe blow for the Taylor family. 

Madeline’s eyes reddened. She glared at Emma and growled. “You bitch. If anything happens to my grandson, you will be the murderer, and we’ll make sure you go to jail.” 

The Taylor family had lost their mind. Madeline rushed to Emma and tried to hit her. Some cops held her back. From where the onlookers 

stood, Emma had pushed Aria off the stage and caused Aria’s miscarriage. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Elijah’s face was dead pale, and his eyes reddened because of anger. He was no longer the gentleman he pretended to be. He gritted his teeth and said, “Emma, if anything happens to Aria, I swear I’ll make you pay!” 

The guests were whispering. 

“That Emma Wilson is evil!” 

“She thinks she can do whatever she wants because of Liam Hall? That’s a real baby there.” 

“What are you waiting for, officers? Arrest her!” 

The police saw what happened, but from where they stood, they couldn’t be sure whether Emma had dragged Aria off the stage or if Aria had 

fallen off herself. 

Emma’s laughter echoed through the tense atmosphere as the police found themselves caught between a rock and a hard place. Her red lips curled into a triumphant smile, and her stunning evening dress shimmered in the light. Despite the gravity of the situation, Emma seemed unbothered, her maniacal laughter ringing out in the hall, which turned the onlookers‘ stomach. 

“God, she’s laughing! Is she out of her mind?”

The police were also confused and about to say something. Emma stopped laughing, walked up to Aria on her heels, and looked down on her from above. “Aria, do you know Elijah is infertile?” Her words caused quite a stir in the crowd. 

“Bullshit!” Aria struggled on the ground, and the ambulance hadn’t come yet. “You pushed me off the stage, and now you’re trying to retort the truth. Ouch! My stomach hurt so badly!” 

Emma’s eyes became frosty, looking at Aria put on a show. 

“The Taylor family has been dealing with infertility for generations, and when it is time for Elijah, it’s already impossible for you to conceive naturally. So, out of curiosity, how did you end up getting pregnant? Did you lie about the baby, or did you cheat on Elijah?” 

What Emma said caused a collective gasp and jaw–dropping. 

“Wow, What a drama!” 

“No way! That must be a slander.” 

“This is Elijah’s gene information. Take a look at it if you don’t believe my words,” Emma said, tapping on her phone quickly. Elijah’s gene information was displayed on the screen in the hall. 

Emma had seen Elijah’s gene information before and knew the Taylor family was genetically defective. It was hard for them to have kids. So when Elijah was drugged and said something about aborting the baby, Emma got curious and managed to acquire Elijah’s gene information. Then, she found out Elijah was infertile. Aria fell off the stage on purpose to hide the fact that she was knocked up by someone else, and she could also stitch Emma up. 

Everyone was struck dumb by the continuous dramatic twists. When they were in shock, the ambulance arrived.
