Wolf President Hooks Up novel Chapter 371

He even hated to get close to her, let alone sleep with her.

...

Therefore, Marina could only stand at a distance, pretending to be doing something and secretly looking at Emmett on the other side of the balcony.

He was dressed in a casual way but gave the impression of being serious, as if he was completely intent on his work.

How ironic it was!

This was their "sweet life" after the engagement!

Others might think that they were now literally stuck with each other and indulged in sensuality every night.

Perhaps Atwood also did not expect his son to be so stubborn and never touch such a gorgeous woman as her.

Marina took a causal sip of the coffee that the servant served.

So bitter!

But she felt more bitterness in her heart for having no one to talk to.

That was when Emmett's phone rang.

The sound broke the silence.

There hadn't been many calls these days. Who would dare to disturb him right now?

Marina drank the coffee slowly, casting a glance at Emmett who was working in the sun from time to time.

He frowned at first. It seemed that the call had interrupted his train of thought.

Emmett found his phone and glanced at it.

It didn't feel right!

Emmett became nervous immediately!

He straightened his broad back up subconsciously.

Marina was surprised to see him like this.

What happened?

Who called him? Why would this man, who was calm at all times, have this reaction?

Emmett knew that the call was from Iceland with a look. Why would they call? Something bad was happening?

He closed the laptop and answered the phone.

"It's me. What's wrong?"

Emmett frowned.

For some reason, his heart raced when he asked this.

He had a bad feeling....

"Young master! Something happened!"

The sound of the wind, along with the man's sniffs, could be heard over the phone.

...

Emmett's breathing suddenly became fast. He sat up straight and raised his voice.

"Don't panic, and tell me what's going on!"

The man immediately started crying,

"Young master, we are stupid! We failed to do what you told us to do. We are to blame and you can just punish us...."

Emmett was anxious to the extreme. He shouted in anger,

"Get to the point! Cut the crap! What exactly happened?"

"Young master ... Ms. Jones ... was killed...."

"What!"

Emmett frowned and cried out in alarm. This was the first time that his voice had been so high-pitched that it didn't sound like him as all.

He sat up quickly and jumped to the ground!

His hands were shaking badly.

Emmett roared, "Tell me what exactly is going on!"

"Someone attempted to kill Ms. Jones. She was shot and fell off a high cliff."

"Go search for her right now! You must find her! I will get there as soon as possible! Let me tell you, if you fail to find her, you all have to die!"

Emmett roared crazily and kept smashing his fists down on the table.

Marina, who was standing over there, was so shocked that several drops of coffee spilt on her clothes.

Emmett hung up and stood still in a daze.

The smart and brave man who had never feared anything, for the first time in his life, was at a loss for what to do.

Hearing that Elaine got shot and fell off the cliff, he broke down.

For a moment, he was unable to think of anything!

He only had Elaine in his mind right now, who was grinning like a little girl with narrowed eyes. And a buzzing-noise was in his ears.

Elaine was ... shot?

Was she bleeding?

Falling off a cliff?

Was she in great pain?

He couldn't think more about it!

...

He dreaded to think how painful his beautiful girl would feel if she bled profusely after the fall!

His heart ached at the very thought of it!

His body began to tremble out of control.

His face was frighteningly pale.

Emmett held his phone tightly, bit his finger, and stood there for a minute.

Afterwards, he called Kayden in panic. When he spoke, his voice was thick with sadness.

"Kayden, send all the people we have to surround Iceland. Someone wants to kill Elaine and she is missing now. We have to find her...."

"What!"
