Billionaire’s Reborn Baby Chapter 46

Chapter 46 A Swindler

After Emily went upstairs, Eliot walked to the door and asked casually, “Where did Miss Emily go today?”

She had gone to the Worldwide Restaurant.

But Harold lied to him deliberately, “KFC.”

“Something happened?”

Vincent had hugged her.

Harold lowered his head. He, who always had a dull face, looked even more poker-faced, “No.”

“Did she eat ice cream?” Eliot asked.

A plate of assorted ice cream appeared in Harold’s mind once again.

He nodded and said, “Yes, she did.”

Eliot waved to him, which meant that there were no more questions.

When finishing his work at night, Eliot went to Emily’s room and sat on her bedside, chattering about his recent troubles. Emily pretended to be dopey and nodded from time to time. But in fact, she kept attentive to filter out useful information.

“Recently the whole country is boycotting Japanese goods. The streets are in chaos. Don’t go out alone. Remember to take Harold with you. There have been many swindlers lately, but they may not take you as the target. Anyway, remember to not talk to strangers. Also, if the strangers deceive you to invest and to gain more profits, you can’t believe them…. “

Emily’s eyes opened all of a sudden. It came to her that in her previous life, her stepmother had been cheated of a lot of money, which led to the deficit of the Britt Group. At that time, Eliot was busy filling the deficit, so he rarely had time to come back and see her. Then Eliot was injured and hospitalized, the company lost its backbone. Many employees were incited to change jobs and they took their resources away. Finally, the entire Britt Group went bankrupt…

It seemed that an invisible chain was pulling the Britt Group into bankruptcy.

“Are you scared?” Eliot touched her forehead and said, “It’s fine. I’m with you. Don’t be afraid. It’s time to sleep.”

Emily nodded and closed her eyes again. But she said to herself, “It’s okay, Eliot. With me, you will be fine, and nothing will happen to the Britt Group.”

The next morning, Emily found Harold and handed him a fruit candy. To outsiders, they were discussing whether this fruit candy was delicious or not because Miss Emily had a silly smile on her face.

However, no one would know that Miss Emily with such a silly smile was actually saying, “Harold, keep an eye on Beverly for me.”

Harold accepted the candy quietly, which meant he knew what to do.

Emily kept smiling sweetly, “Pay attention to whether she has such a person by her side.”

“What kind of person?” Harold asked.

Emily tilted her head and looked innocent and cute, but in fact, she was saying, “A swindler. A very smart swindler.”

“…”

Harold said to himself, ‘I’m facing one.’

….

Three days later, Elsie finally went back to school. Beverly also followed Maury to the company. There was no one home. After Emily called Sydnee, she took a taxi to the Lotus Tea Manor.

After the incident with Kamron last time, she was worried that she would run into him again. So she chose to take the taxi and even dressed in sportswear with a sports hat. She looked even younger.

There were not many tea trees planted in the tea plantation. On the contrary, there were many fruits and vegetables planted here. Tea trees were only planted in a small patch.

Seeing Sydnee come over, the servants in the Tea Manor happily followed her behind. After all, they had witnessed that Sydnee grew up here from childhood. In a blink of an eye, she became a young girl, so the servants all sighed with mixed feelings.

“Who planted the tea tree?” Emily asked.

Sydnee turned around and saw an old man trembling as he walked out. He bowed and said, “Miss Emily, it was me.”

Emily picked a piece of tea leaf and looked at it carefully. She was not familiar with the tea industry. She only remembered that the price of tea had risen quickly in her previous life. She vaguely remembered that the name of the tea was some … Red or what.

She turned around and asked, “Is there any tea called ‘hong’ or something?”

The old man raised his aged face and frowned as he pondered, “Haidihong? Xinyanghong?”

Emily kept shaking her head as the old man said few tea names. Then Sydnee whispered, “Dahongpao?”

Emily suddenly raised her head and said, “Yes, that’s it. We’ll plant this.”

She was afraid her tone would give her away. If someone noticed something was wrong, it would be a hassle. So she added, “Turn the soil before planting. And also grow some Pu’er, Tieguanyin, and Longjing tea over there.”

The old man looked at Sydnee, who was looking over and saying, “Howard, just do as she says.”

Howard nodded. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the girl who looked young and pretty say, “Hire a few more tea farmers. The Tea Manor will experience a busy time sooner. Howard is old and should be paid what he deserves. All he has to do is keeping an eye on the tea plantation.”

It turned out that these words were not addressed to him, but to Sydnee.

Howard was puzzled. This girl looked a few younger than Miss Sydnee, but why did she appear to be more experienced?

Sydnee nodded, “Alright. What do you think of the other places?”

Emily squinted and looked around. “Build a shed over there. The warehouse also needs to be rebuilt. And keep it dry. Find someone to send the nutrient soil over. After turning the soil, replace it with the nutrient soil. The season is suitable for sowing seeds. We could grow four lines of Dahongpao here, and over there, they may plant anything else as they like.”

The Manor itself had produced many varieties of tea, all of which could survive here. Emily can ignore this concern, and only put forward her request. Every time she said something, Sydnee behind her take her cell phone to write it down.

The servants behind them were dumbfounded.

Jaquan, who had quietly followed her over, was somewhat surprised, wondering what this “retarded Miss Emily” was up to.

The other day, Arabella had asked him to follow Emily and report all her actions to Arabella every day.

As long as it wasn’t life-threatening, Jaquan was willing to help. He had been curious before, but now, his curiosity had been washed away. He knew that no matter what Arabella asked him to do, her ultimate goal was for Vincent.

He already knew it, but he was still jealous.

It seemed as if it was going to rain. Drops of rain fell on his head. Jaquan looked up and saw the four guards on the tree.

“….”

“…”

After a moment of silence, Jaquan slowly stood up and asked, “Is Vincent here?”

The guards licked their popsicles and nodded.

Jaquan thought for a moment, then he took out his phone and sent a message to Arabella, “Vincent is also here.”

There was no reply.

Jaquan did it on purpose. After putting away his phone, he slowly walked back along the path. After he walked out of the Tea Manor, a little boy rashly bumped into him on the path.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

He helped the child up and patted his pants, “Be careful.”

The little boy stood up and thanked him. Jaquan was impressed by his smile. He kind of felt that the child looked familiar. But very quickly, the child rushed to the Tea Manor after thanking him. It seemed that he lived here.

“Mom! It’s going to rain!” The little boy shouted, “Let me help you with the clothes!”

This child seemed to be about three or four years old, yet he actually knew to help his mother collect clothes. He seemed to be educated well and was very thoughtful.

Jaquan didn’t hear the mother’s voice because he looked away. He saw Arabella’s car parked at the entrance of the Tea Manor. She was looking down at her phone with an expression that could not have been more sullen.
