Mr. Mysterious's Spontaneous Bride

Chapter 132 Begging

These days, Emma unexpectedly felt uneasy, often getting lost in thought halfway through a task, subconsciously seeing images of Harry in her mind. She didn't think it was because she missed him, but rather some kind of connection developed over decades. However, after divorcing, such a connection was truly inauspicious. One afternoon, accompanied by her father for a medical checkup to confirm the surgery date, Emma noticed his daughter's distracted state and said with a smile, "Let's go, the two of us will go shopping." "Dad." "Emma!" Emma was about to refuse on the grounds of not wanting to waste time, but Andy stopped him. "Let your dad be carefree and unrestrained, freely enjoying himself. I won't live much longer anyway." "Dad!" Emma, hearing his self-deprecating words, was so angry that she immediately covered his mouth. "What are you saying? The doctors said you're in good health. We also consulted with experts worldwide to develop a joint surgical plan. You'll be fine." "Alright, let's go shopping." Andy became happy again. Father and daughter arrived at a luxury store. As they entered, the store manager greeted them with a beaming smile. "Mr.Livingston, it's been a while. You're looking better and better." Andy waved his hand, "I stepped into the gates of hell, what's good about that?" Manager smiled. "It’s just a small surgery, what are you afraid of? Anyway, during this time, I've set aside two sets of clothes for you. Have a look, are they satisfactory? This brand will release two sets of global limited editions next quarter. I've reserved them for you. We need a mighty and domineering person like you to lead the way. Every time you wear them out, our sales soar." Andy looked at the manager with a smile; it was clear they had known each other for a long time. At this moment, Andy suddenly pointed to Emma and said to the manager, "Manager, please prepare clothes for my daughter and granddaughter too." The manager smiled and said, "Alright, I've been waiting for you for a long time." She raised her hand, and three models walked up the next moment.One man and two women, dressed in the latest season's fashion, stood in front of them neatly. Emma was astonished to find that these three people were chosen as models based on their height and body shape, and even their faces had some resemblance to the three of them. "Miss Livingston, please have a look, is it suitable?" Emma nodded and looked at her model for a long time. Andy squinted and pointed to the model representing Ivy in the middle. "This set doesn't suit Ivy. Ivy likes something simple and straightforward. This set is too cumbersome." "Understood." The manager quickly asked the models to change. Andy said, "The other two sets, deliver them to my house." The three models changed into another design, and this time, only the set for Ivy was the most suitable, so Andy naturally kept it. The father and daughter continued to pick out several sets of clothes, bags, high heels, and sneakers. Considering Ivy's usual tomboyish style, Andy thought for a moment and chose a pair of shoes with a slope heel that was only 3 cm high for her. "Really, if it weren't for her overly beautiful face and long hair, I would have thought she was my grandson. No wonder, only Shawn noticed her." "Dad, Ivy is in the hospital every day, she rarely uses cosmetics. She only does skincare before bedtime, but sometimes staying up all night is a common thing, and sometimes the skincare products have expired before she uses them." Andy was surprised, "Does she still do beauty care?" "She spends her weekends at the hospital. What do you think?" "I didn't expect my Ivy to live such a miserable life." Andy felt a pang of sadness. "Speaking of which, it's all because of that incident three years ago. I must find out the truth." "Finding out the truth is not easy, Dad. So, you must stay healthy. If anything happens to you, Ivy and I..." Andy was deeply moved after listening. Although he knew she was deliberately provoking him, he appreciated it. He patted Emma's hand, saying, "Rest assured, I will live a long and healthy life!" "A long and healthy life?" A sudden voice from behind made Emma frown.Sure enough, when she turned around, she saw Harry with Kara and Amara standing behind them. "You are Emma's father?" Harry sneered. He was flying to Southeast Asia tonight, thinking of taking two women for some shopping. After all, the job was leisurely and comfortable. If he ran out of money this month, he would have more next month. Parents' money could also be used. However, Harry did not expect to encounter this father-daughter pair. Thinking of everything Ivy had done for him, Harry decided to humiliate them. He had been observing for a long time and up until now, only Emma and the old man with the crutch were present. Harry didn't know that H Capital's bodyguards were always around, and the actions around him could be their doing. He only knew that at this moment, he wanted revenge! So, he stepped forward and immediately grabbed Andy's collar without saying a word. "Think you're great just because you're rich? You think you can bully others just because you're rich? I've been unhappy with you for a long time! Why the hell haven't you died yet! Since you're not dead yet, let me send you on your way!" Harry blamed all recent misfortunes on the Livingston family. He firmly believed that his current miserable state was undoubtedly caused by Andy's interference. Harry raised his fist and was about to charge. Andy wasn't about to let him succeed so easily. He grabbed Emma, who was trying to intervene, and said, "Don't move. I want to see if he dares to land that punch on me." "Dad!" Emma was speechless. Although there were bodyguards around, this kind of commotion was not advisable. However, Andy seemed to find strength from somewhere and held Emma so tightly that she couldn't move. So, she could only watch as Harry acted arrogantly in front of her. On Harry's side, things weren't looking great either. Though Andy was an old man, he had a determined and stern gaze from years of business experience, as if he hid a thousand knives within. If Harry dared to make a move, Andy's gaze could kill him. His fist was raised high, but for a long time, he didn't strike, nor did he make any further moves."Aren't you supposed to beat me to death?" Andy sneered. "When you bullied Emma, weren't you very arrogant? When did you become such a coward?" Lowering his head and extending his fingers, Andy nonchalantly said, "If you won't do it, then I will." The next moment, Uncle Jim, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, lifted Harry and performed a shoulder throw. The debris scattered heavily as Harry was stomped on and crushed, causing him to scream in pain. Uncle Jim, still in a fit of anger, paid no attention to whether it hurt or not. He treated it as a rather novel experience, exerting all his strength to trample. "I was wrong, old man, I was wrong! Please forgive me." Harry called out Andy's name, begging for mercy, but no one paid any attention. Worse, Uncle Jim trampled even harder, directly crushing the skin on Harry's back. Seeing that Andy ignored him, Harry had to change his strategy. He cast an innocent look at Emma, saying, "Emma, forgive me? Considering I am also Ivy's father, please forgive me?" Just as Andy was about to speak, Emma intervened, "Dad, don't forgive him. If Ivy were here, she would have kicked him a few times." Andy was stunned on the spot, somewhat surprised. When they confirmed their relationship, he had ordered an investigation into Emma and Ivy's lives. However, the more he investigated, the more heartbroken he became. Emma was so kind, and Ivy was so resilient. Yet, all of this had become Harry's escalating excuses. He knew Emma was soft-hearted and thought she might plead for mercy this time, but he didn't expect... It precisely proved how despicable Harry was! Despicable to the point that even kind Emma was unwilling to forgive him! It infuriated him! ***
