Chapter 32

James was living in his own world, unable to understand her words. Emily hung up, blocked his number, and moved on without hesitation.

James heard the busy tone. This was the umpteenth time she had dared to hang up on him. She had never done this before! It seemed she was really angry this time. She hadn't mentioned her whereabouts!

James thought about it. If she was foolish enough to be easily deceived, he was just concerned for her. He decided to call her again.

The first time he called, he heard a mechanical voice. He thought she was genuinely on another call. But after a while, he called again and still heard the mechanical voice. James realized she had blocked him!

'Emily, you really have some nerve!'

James's face darkened, his eyes filled with anger. He immediately called his assistant. "Find out where Emily is staying,right now!"

The assistant sensed the coldness in James's voice and quickly responded, "Yes, sir!"

After hanging up, the assistant immediately arranged for an investigation.

Meanwhile, Emily was unaware of the commotion, but it did alert Daniel.

"Mr. Smith, someone is looking into Ms. Johnson," Daniel's assistant, Miguel Jimenez, reported promptly.

Especially since Emily's apartment had been sold through Daniel's company, James's assistant's investigation triggered Daniel's security system.

"Who exactly?" Daniel's expression remained calm, but his aura turned icy.

Miguel knew this was a sign of Daniel's anger. "It's James," Miguel replied truthfully. Daniel's brows furrowed slightly, his voice cold and detached. "He's too idle. Give him something to do.

Assign him the resort project."

"Yes, sir." Miguel responded calmly, though he felt a shiver inside. It wasn't that Daniel was generously giving James a project. The resort project was good, but it had many pitfalls. Without sufficient skill, it would be a total disaster.
