Chapter 99: The Only Way

Enzo felt embarrassed hearing that. Miya had probably watched quite a bit of it.

He couldn’t respond to that, so he pretended to eat the fruit on the table.

Vroom!

It didn’t take long before he heard the sound of Evan’s motorcycle engine, which was exceptionally loud.

His expression immediately turned cold.

If he had to admit it, he was indeed angry with this brat.

Why had he even gone to that place?

He had simply become a random target. If he hadn’t gone to the nightclub, none of this would have happened.

For those people, nightclub visitors were the easiest targets.

And in the end, they chose people with the most eye-catching appearances.

He waited until Evan finally appeared at the doorway with Emily.

Both of them looked clean, although their clothes were rather wrinkled.

"Come here!" Enzo immediately called out to them. Ever since arriving, the two had done nothing but wear confused expressions.

Perhaps their minds were still filled with questions.

Evan was a little more nervous because Miya was there, although she merely smiled at him. Emily, on the other hand, managed to remain relaxed.

"You two might temporarily put an end to all the political arguments on social media," Miya remarked with a chuckle.

Enzo wanted to slap his forehead when he heard that.

He immediately understood what she meant.

If the video got leaked, it would provide everyone with some entertaining material for a while.

However, Evan and Emily didn’t quite understand. Both of them looked confused.

Enzo shook his head.

"An influential person has already obtained a video of you two. Oliver Green, the CEO of Stellaris Company. He’s one of the people who set you up. Of course, he’s only involved behind the scenes. Those people are already dead, but Oliver is still alive, and he has the video of you two. Things are much more difficult because Oliver is different from those people."

Only after he said that did their eyes widen.

Emily suddenly looked furious.

"I knew that hypocritical bastard was up to no good. But why? He’s just an ordinary human. I can ask my father to kill him," she said.

"You can’t kill him," Enzo immediately replied.

"Can’t?" Emily was stunned.

Enzo shook his head.

"That’s the problem. If he could be killed, we would have done it a long time ago."

Of course, he didn’t explain anything further.

In fact, Oliver could be killed.

The only consequence would be City Z. It wouldn’t affect the Este Family.

If Otto Este learned about this, he might recklessly kill Oliver without caring what happened to City Z.

Even if Miya was stronger and tried to protect Oliver, it was difficult to say whether she could protect him from Otto Este if he truly wanted him dead.

"Bro, what should we do?" Evan asked breathlessly.

Although he didn’t fully understand the situation, he knew one thing: he and Emily were in serious trouble.

He also didn’t believe he could remain safe from the Este Family.

The Este Family would undoubtedly blame him for the misfortune that had befallen Emily.

As for what they should do, Enzo couldn’t answer that either. He had no idea.

"Just consider this one of life’s misfortunes," Miya suddenly said.

"Cough!" Evan instinctively coughed when he heard that.

Even his sister-in-law was saying that. It sounded as though there was no solution at all.

"Who told you to go there in the first place?" Enzo added.

After saying that, he took out all the laptops and phones he had collected.

"These are the things I took from those people. Let’s check them. Perhaps we’ll find something useful. However, I don’t think there’s any way to stop Oliver from leaking your video."

As soon as he finished speaking, Emily quickly grabbed one of the laptops and opened it.

However, it was locked. She needed to enter a password.

To Enzo’s surprise, Emily plugged a flash drive into the laptop.

A new window appeared, and she began typing rapidly.

When she pressed Enter, the password was automatically entered.

She had actually hacked into it.

"Girl, it seems you have another skill besides having fun," Miya commented.

"I’ve been interested in hacking since I was little, and I’ve continued learning about it ever since," Emily replied with a faint smile.

"Can you unlock this one too?" Evan asked, handing her one of the phones.

"Easy," Emily replied.

She plugged the flash drive into the phone.

She managed to unlock it even faster than the laptop.

She soon began opening the other laptops and phones as well.

Both Evan and Emily were desperately searching for some hope. They even looked quite excited as they examined the devices.

Enzo and Miya, of course, simply watched.

Miya clearly didn’t want to bother herself with something like this, while Enzo was rather annoyed and couldn’t be bothered to help.

He had already done everything he could.

What could they possibly find?

At most, there would just be more porn videos.

Every now and then, Evan and Emily looked amazed, while at other times, they appeared utterly shocked.

However, they quickly refocused, realizing that none of those discoveries would help their situation.

Minute after minute passed, but they found nothing that could give them any reason to celebrate.

Even Emily’s slender fingers began to tremble.

"Nothing at all?" Miya suddenly spoke again.

"It seems so..." Emily answered, her breath somewhat unsteady.

The truth was that she was exhausted.

After all, she and Evan had just engaged in intense sexual activity for a long time.

She should have been sleeping and resting instead of doing something like this.

"Should we just negotiate with him?" Emily asked.

"That sounds easy, but how can we know Oliver hasn’t completely deleted the video? That’s why we can’t rely on this as a solution," Miya replied.

"But that doesn’t mean there’s absolutely no way," she added, surprising even Enzo.

"Really?" Enzo asked, looking astonished.

Why was she only mentioning this now when she had acted as though there was no solution before?

She had even dismissed negotiation as an option entirely.

"What’s the plan?" Emily asked as well, while Evan, who didn’t dare speak, was filled with hope and anticipation.

"This is only to buy us some time until we can kill Oliver. That’s something we’re already waiting for," Miya replied. "As for what you need to do, simply join Oliver. He’ll gladly welcome a young lady from one of the Main Families like you. As long as you work with him, he won’t do anything with that video."

Enzo was somewhat surprised that he hadn’t thought of this idea himself.

However, he felt that even if he had come up with it, he wouldn’t have suggested it.

He didn’t have enough standing to make such a recommendation.

Of course, this should be quite effective.

However, Emily furrowed her brows upon hearing it.

She was probably wondering why a young lady like herself had to work for an ordinary human like Oliver, who had nothing but money.

Naturally, she was also worried about being taken advantage of by that man.

As the young lady of one of the Main Families, there were plenty of things he could exploit through her.

As for Enzo, who knew more about the situation, Oliver could basically ask Emily to help him collect Giant corpses.

"This isn’t something you get to choose. At most, one week," Miya continued.

Enzo was surprised once again when he heard that.

One week?

Miya seemed confident that Oliver would be dead within a week.

Of course, that meant she believed Enzo could make progress that quickly.

"What if that man suspects I’ve joined him for some other reason? If I know he has the video, he’ll certainly realize that we’ve interacted," Emily said.

She was clever enough to notice several suspicious details.

"You don’t need to worry about that. He’ll naturally be suspicious, but he’ll still prefer to accept you because you can be very useful to him," Miya replied with a faint smile.

"Well, since you’re clever, remember not to interfere with my plan once you understand what’s really going on and why we can’t kill Oliver."

"If you dare, I might break into your family’s territory and kill you myself."

Emily was speechless.

Miya had ultimately threatened her.

Evan began trembling but didn’t have the courage to say anything.

Enzo, on the other hand, fell into deep thought.

He wondered what Miya was planning to accomplish through Emily.

There was no way she didn’t have some kind of plan.

"Go on. You’ll have to endure some difficulties for a while," Miya said again.

Emily unconsciously nodded.

She stood up and headed toward the door.

Evan naturally followed her immediately.

"What are you thinking about?" Miya asked Enzo, who was staring at her with countless questions in his eyes.

"This really is the only way..." Enzo said.

He had to admit that this wasn’t really a choice, regardless of whatever personal plans Miya might have.

Because of that, there was no need for him to ask anything.

Perhaps Miya genuinely had no particular plan either. She might simply be trying to spare the young couple a lifetime of embarrassment.

"Oliver is a serious threat," Miya said. "I’m worried that even our plans so far might not be enough. With that girl around, Oliver will let his guard down. He’ll pay less attention to Alice."
