Claudia's eyes darted around, and she went to Winston. "Father, this is Aaron. You have no idea how rude Emma was just now. She couldn't even do a proper curtsy!"
Winston frowned, looking at Aaron and noticing the other's unusual demeanor.
As a businessman, he keenly sensed that the other party was no ordinary person.
Then she looked at the anxious Emma and the composed Claudia.
“I apologize, Your Excellency Mr. Aaron. I apologize for Emma’s rudeness. She has always been so ordinary and eccentric.”
"May I ask if we can go in and have a proper chat?"
Winston did not look down on Aaron because of his skin color.
Although in this era, people of East Asian descent generally had no social standing.
But he was willing to bet that Aaron's outfit was definitely custom-made.
His unique temperament could only be cultivated by a senior nobleman who had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years.
The Frost family is a merchant family that has only recently risen to prominence.
But in front of such nobles, he couldn't help but reveal a slightly ingratiating smile.
He really wanted to improve.
Aaron glanced at Emma's parents and sisters.
After thinking about it, he decided not to waste his time on them.
All he wanted was Emma; these incompetent relatives were not even in his consideration.
Aaron took Emma's hand and then took out a business card with a hellfire symbol on it.
On the back of the business card is a symbol of a black queen chess piece.
Winston took the business card with a puzzled look, examined it carefully, and stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning.
An incredible name flashed through my mind.
Aaron raised an eyebrow. "It seems you've heard of this name before."
Winston became even more reserved, even obsequious, nodding.
He handed the business card back with both hands, saying, "So you're a member of the Hellfire Club, sir!"
Upon seeing this, Claudia and the middle-aged woman both gaped in disbelief. Winston, whom they held in high esteem, was actually so humble!
Emma's eyes widened as well.
He glanced at the nonchalant Aaron, then at the tense and reserved Winston.
Then he saw Aaron holding his hand.
She couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.
Being valued so highly by such a handsome and distinguished man gave Emma a strange feeling she had never experienced before.
Aaron didn't mince words. "Hellfire values Emma's potential and believes she has the ability to become a new member of the club, so we're going to take her back and train her properly. Do you have any objections?"
It may seem like a question, but the attitude is already clear.
Emma, I'm taking her with me!
Winston was not angry at being ignored; instead, he was overjoyed.
Although he didn't understand why he wasn't chosen, or one of his other daughters, but instead the useless Emma, whom he disliked the most, was chosen.
But that didn't stop him from popping champagne to celebrate.
That's the Hellfire Club!
He had only heard about the club by chance from the mayor of Boston.
Only the world's top billionaires or powerful figures are eligible to be invited.
What an honor this is!
"No problem, of course no problem!"
"Emma, why don't you thank Mr. Aaron? From now on, you'll follow Mr. Aaron and listen to him obediently, understand?"
This time, Winston unusually refrained from scolding Emma. Instead, he wore a "kind and gentle" fatherly smile, seemingly discussing things with Emma.
Emma entered Hellfire, and even as a handmaid, she was able to obtain a great deal of important information.
He only needs to learn one or two pieces of information to advance further.
After all, the chess piece on that business card is the Black Queen!
Representing one of the highest statuses in the Hellfire Club, Emma is about to take off!
Even Winston can take off by his side!
Perhaps he will even have the opportunity to become a full member and chat with royalty, high-ranking officials and nobles from various countries.
Emma nodded, seemingly confused.
Noticing the envious, jealous, and hateful gaze of her mother, Hazel, towards her sister Claudia,
Emma realized that she had become the envy of others.
Even the object of flattery.
How could someone as ugly as her have achieved what she has today?
She used to live a life where she was neither loved by her maternal grandmother nor by her maternal uncle.
Neither her parents nor her two older sisters treated her like family; they would scold and beat her at the slightest provocation.
She was always the target of bullying, ignored, ridiculed, and despised.
But from that day on...
Emma suddenly realized that she might really be an ugly duckling, but she was an ugly duckling that was about to become a beautiful swan!
Although Emma didn't understand many things,
But she knew one thing,
All these changes were brought about by Aaron.
She was able to go from a minor role on the margins to the center of the stage, all because of Aaron!
As long as she can stay by Aaron's side forever, she will never be bullied and will become a swan that everyone envies and fawns over!
Little Emma secretly made a big decision.
Aaron declined the Winston family's invitation to dinner.
Under Claudia's clenched teeth and furious gaze, wishing she could take her place,
With a flushed face and a slightly smug look on her face, Emma followed Aaron closely as they left.
Walking down the street, Aaron looked down at Emma.
He doesn't look like the proud and confident queen he will be a decade or two from now.
"What are you thinking?"
"what?"
Emma hurriedly looked up.
Looking into Aaron's deep gaze, Emma shook her head nervously, then nodded.
"Why...why did you choose me?"
"Claudia is clearly more outstanding than me, Adrian has more poise, and I'm just an ugly duckling..."
Emma mustered all her courage and asked timidly.
Aaron smiled slightly, "There's no reason why, I just have faith in you."
Emma was a little confused.
"If you really want to know one reason, it's that you will be more beautiful, stronger, and smarter in the future, and I love that."
Emma nodded, seemingly understanding.
She barely understood the meaning of the sentence, and although she was very confused, she knew a little bit about it.
Aaron only values her!
They also thought she was smart and beautiful!
No one had ever thought this before.
This made Emma, who was insecure, feel a special affection for Aaron.
She had to work hard; she couldn't let Aaron down.
At least... at least I can't let him down.
"Let's go, don't think about those terrible things."
Aaron reached out and opened a spatial passage. Under Emma's astonished gaze, he calmly said, "From today onwards, you will be in a different world from those people."
"Even if they spend their entire lives, they will never reach your starting point!"
So, hold your head high and be yourself with pride!
Emma unconsciously straightened her back and tried her best to show her most confident self.
Because this is Aaron's request!
Even if she was terrified and lacked confidence, she was determined to do it!
Emma nervously followed Aaron into the portal.
We arrived at the Hellfire Club in New York.
Amidst a chorus of compliments
Emma met Selene, the Black Queen, and Raven, Mystique.
Selene had a friendly smile on her face, while Raven looked at her with a hint of hostility.
She was originally Aaron's only follower, but now, Emma has arrived.
Moreover, Emma is confident and beautiful.
This is a formidable opponent!
"She is Emma Frost, the future White Queen."
Aaron thus decided Emma's future.
Selene had no doubt whatsoever and nodded in agreement.
As one of the four original high-ranking members of Hellfire, a core position coveted by countless people, it was settled so casually.
Emma has no idea what this moment means.
When she got a little older, she suddenly realized it.
At this moment, Aaron was so handsome, so domineering, and so intoxicating.
Selene pulled Aaron aside. "I've already contacted the other core members; they'll be arriving in New York tomorrow."
"My king... tomorrow you will be the master of this place!"
"Everything is available to me, whatever I ask for..."
Selene couldn't wait to see Aaron crowned king.
I couldn't help but pinch the meat! 〢陵艺似吾》?诌私咎玐群腿.
And on the other side,
Raven came to Emma's side and said in a childish voice, "My name is Raven. Although you are very beautiful, I am definitely better than you."
Emma laughed when she heard this; Raven's words of declaration of war sounded so sweet and endearing to her.
"You're such a good person!" Emma said sincerely.
"Huh?" Raven was stunned. This guy's crazy!
