Chereads / Second Chance: Doppelganger Body Swap / Chapter 15 - Attempted Assassination on the Smiths

Chapter 15 - Attempted Assassination on the Smiths

'Oh my god!'

'Christ!'

'How could she?'

'What kind of person was this girl?' 

Emma couldn't believe the memories that just popped up in her head were real.

She didn't know how Honey and Darling did it, but the whole place became blurry and her body started vanishing, same as Olivia's body.

When she regained her senses, the fresh scent of a manly cologne assaulted her nose. A hand was placed to her back and a tall manly figure so close to her.

Her body...Wait, I meant to say Olivia's body that she was now occupying, was being moved about by the man in front of her.

Memories of how Olivia got a limousine and was very rude to Max and his family just surfaced, which was why Emma kept exclaiming in shock.

She realized that the man she was supposed to make sure that he fell in love with her, was the man holding her right now, but those words he said.

He wanted Olivia to get out of his line of sight. He seems to dislike her. What was she supposed to do now?

That girl seriously has a problem with her mouth. She needed a brain check up.

Emma wasn't the type to get angry, but she felt so pissed that Max could feel it. 

To make the situation worse, the system returned her back to the scene before Olivia was shot, which means that she had rained curses on Max.

Emma's chest heaved in annoyance, while Honey remained hidden in her subconscious mind. Emma's current feelings are expected anyway.

Max remained calm and kept making use of the advantage he had, which was strength. He forcefully moved Emma along, till the music stopped.

A round of applause erupted in the hall for the second time. 

Max let go of Emma, who stood still like a statue, not knowing what to do.

Everything felt like a dream. She wondered how life would turn out for her now.

Her family. When would she be able to meet them again?

How would she make Max like her?

She's not experienced in all these and looking at what she had on, she felt weird. Her cleavages were exposed and her outfit was screaming MONEY!

"Miss Smith?" Emma heard someone called, but she wasn't a Smith, she was Emma William.

Max had already returned to his seat, while fuming with anger. Olivia called him a 'dickhead, animal, fool, tall for nothing.'

He wondered why she suddenly refused to leave the spot.

"What's wrong with her?" Emily asked Max and gave her brother a suspicious gaze, "Brother?" She called.

"Hmm?" Max replied to her, but his frosty gaze didn't leave Emma's figure, as she refused to move from the dance floor.

"Did you say something harsh to her?" Emily asked and Max shook his head.

"She was actually the one who was harsh on me." Max replied.

"You should go and help her." Max's father proposed.

"She doesn't look sick to me. Perhaps she still wanted those that hadn't seen how pretty she looked, to have a vivid view." Max said and looked away.

"Brother…." Emily sighed. Her brother rarely gets angry. Even if he does, he was never outspoken.

He seems to really dislike that woman, as a frown still marred his expression.

"Miss Smith?" The host of the event called again, while all eyes were on Emma.

"Host, you're acting weird." Honey spoke up and made Emma snap back from her trance.

Olivia's parents were already on their way to where she stood. They don't joke with her one bit.

"Are you okay?" Honey asked.

Emma saw all the gaze on her and felt like a needle being thrown inside an ocean. She looked left and right and felt her heart going insane.

Her heart kept racing wildly, but the more she looked at those faces, the more their names and the corporation that they owned surfaced on her mind.

She didn't know them a second ago, but she does now.

Everything felt weird. She's going crazy. This is real. She was actually inside someone else's body.

"Baby, are you okay?" Emma felt a hand on her shoulder and the tender voice of Olivia's mom.

She stepped back subconsciously and her body started to shiver slightly.

"Host calm down. You are not allowed to go OOC. You need to act like the previous owner of the body. You can't let people find out about your reincarnation." Honey said and Emma finally composed herself.

Laura looked scared as her daughter was behaving weirdly. She wondered if they've gone too far with their attempt to make her bond with Max.

"Sweetheart, are you okay?" President Smith asked and Emma nodded her head, forcing a smile, which worried the couple more, but they still supported her and began walking towards their seat.

Everyone was looking at Max now. They wondered what Max did to her, but Max didn't seem to care, he was busy playing mobile games.

"Baby, I apologize. If you don't like him, we won't let you meet with him again." President Smith said and Laura also nodded her head.

They don't want their daughter to feel hurt at all. Either physically or emotionally. If she became like this because she hated the fact that she danced with Max, then this will be the last day that she will be setting her eyes on Max.

They will find other means to secure a safe future for her.

"No sir." Emma's mouth went agape. 

What a mistake! 

President Smith looked scared. Is this how her daughter planned to get back at him?

"Baby, I'm sorry. We were wrong…" He hadn't finished with his sentence when the door to the hall opened.

Everyone sprung to their feets, as the sound of gunshots that were being concealed by the giant soundproof door, could be heard now.

Max's eyes turned sharp immediately. He got up and motioned for Emily to stand up and sit next to his parents, so that his family could be together.

"Don't panic, stay calm." He said and his mom and Emily nodded their heads, while his father's gaze also turned sharp.

"What's going on?" Max asked, after connecting a Bluetooth device to his ear.

"Attempted assasination on the Smiths." 

Hearing the reply, Max stared at Emma's direction. A bodyguard was already whispering something into president Smith's ear.

He saw the man's face paled immediately. President Smith could tell that the bastard that wanted to kill his child had managed to learn about his plan with Max's parents.

"We're leaving now." Max said to his family and got a nod in reply.

Everyone in the hall looked scared and were staring around in fear.

"President Smith, please wait." Max said to Emma and Olivia's parents, who were about to leave the hall.

"Follow me. We will leave through another exit." Max said and they didn't think twice before nodding their head.

Emma stared at him, but he didn't even spare her a glance.

'It's all because of that rude girl.' Emma said in her head and, Honey couldn't agree more.
