Chapter 566: Have her lock you up in a mental hospital immediately.
The Ling family’s actions were indeed swift. Clearly, when Emma Magus had stirred up all sorts of trouble on the hot search a few days ago, nobody bothered with her, but now that she had really offended someone she shouldn’t have, they immediately came to take her away.
However, with the matter settled, Daisy Ginger still breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news.
Even though her relationship with Emma Magus was unpleasant, she never intended for her to end up like Abigail Perry. Since she had been taken back to the United States, the Ling family probably wouldn’t allow Emma to come out for a while.
It’s just unclear what means Robert Stephens would use next to separate her from Edward Stephens.
The suicide of Helen Hyde due to depression had left the police unable to find any other traces, and it was concluded as a case of "depressive illness."
With such lessons learned, even if Daisy breathed a sigh of relief, she dared not let her guard down.
Erin Ginger had already been taken abroad by James Shelton, and Elena Raven was also personally watched over by her. As for the rest, it was up to Edward Stephens to handle.
Since he said she should trust him, she might as well try to rely on him, to believe in him.

It was night.
There was still some distance to the airport.
At the moment, a black sedan was driving along the winding mountain road.
Inside the car, Emma Magus was held between two tall bodyguards in black. Her hair was disheveled, her face pale, with faint swollen red marks visible, almost bleeding through her fragile skin.
She lowered her head, her eyes red and swollen as if she had been crying for a while. After a moment, she raised her head and begged bitterly, "Daniel, please let me go. I promise not to cause trouble anymore, not to disgrace the Ling family."
The one sitting in the front passenger seat was a teenage boy who bore some resemblance to her. He fiddled with a handheld game, not lifting his head even once. As Emma Magus pleaded again, he impatiently told the bodyguards behind him, "Make her shut up, it’s so noisy! She made me lose my game!"
The bodyguard immediately obliged, reaching out to cover Emma Magus’s mouth, nearly covering her nose as well. Emma struggled with all her might, finally breathing smoothly, her face turning blue from the effort.
Perhaps her unfortunate appearance amused him, as the boy with a similar appearance put down his game and turned his head, his long eyebrows angled dramatically, exuding a sense of arrogant command.
He looked at Emma’s embarrassed state, clapping and laughing, "Sister Emma, Mom said upon your return, they’ll confine you in a psychiatric hospital for a few years. If you act crazy in my car again, I’ll tell Mom to send you to the mental hospital immediately!"
Emma’s eyes widened in terror, moaning in despair, tears instantly streaming from her bloodshot eyes.
Perhaps her terrified appearance delighted him, as he laughed even more joyfully and arrogantly.
"Didn’t you say you’d marry the second young master of the Stephens family and become the second young mistress? How did you end up like this in just a few years? Locked up in jail? Sister Emma loves to boast, no wonder she couldn’t accomplish anything."
The boy’s smile turned cold. "Not only did you fail to get close to the second young master, but you also caused a rift between the Ling and Stephens families! No wonder Mom is so disappointed in you, wanting to lock you up! You’re useless! Not capable of anything! And you want me to let you go? With the stupid things you’ve done, when I inherit the Ling family, I’ll keep you in a psychiatric hospital for the rest of your life!"
