Let Go of My Man

The car swiftly passed through the highway, the scenery outside the window flickering. 

Emily sat in the back seat, her mind far from enjoying the view.

After the council meeting, Fatima and Emily left the family's residence. 

For the Farid family, whose motto emphasized self-reliance, adult family members typically chose to live independently.

Fatima volunteered to give Emily a lift, as they were heading in the same direction. 

Although Emily was reluctant, she didn't want to create a scene of sisterly conflict.

The car ride was silent for a long time before Fatima finally initiated a conversation. 

"You've gained quite a lot from Snowland, I heard. The second and third ring tasks there have disappeared now, which I guess has a lot to do with you, right?"

Emily scoffed coldly, 

"You don't need to pretend to care about me or put on a show of sisterly love here. Don't forget, just a few days ago, you were trying to lure my teammates away, to abandon me."

Her words were filled with anger and resentment towards her sister.

Fatima, instead of responding, let out an uncharacteristic sigh: 

"Henry suits your attributes well and indeed helps you grow quickly. Among the 26 crowd control magi discovered so far, you are the most likely to break through the level 60 barrier and earn the title of a General-tier awakener."

"But remember, his skill can multiply rewards by ten times, making any awakener want to join his team. You need to seize this opportunity and not let yourself miss out on him."

Hearing her sister's advice, Emily unusually didn't retort, quietly saying, "I understand."

...

After getting off the car in the villa area, Emily walked towards Henry's house, feeling exceptionally excited. 

With her inheritance of the elder position, her family would now open all their resources to her. 

This meant she had an irreplaceable role in Henry's team. 

With these resources, she could even show more of herself to Henry, possibly taking their relationship further.

Anna was not a problem. 

Emily even felt that Anna was subtly fostering the relationship between her and Henry. 

As for the other strong woman in Henry's life... Queen Adele.

Hmph,

Let her try to step out of the Snowland dungeon first.

Bright sunlight filtered through the branches, casting leafy shadows on the path. 

Emily felt like Henry was the sun itself, illuminating her life and leaving an indelible mark on her heart.

Full of anticipation, Emily walked through the gates of the villa, her eyes seeking Henry. 

Her smile had just begun to spread across her face, ready to greet the man she loved, when suddenly a girl in tender green clothes leaped out, clinging onto Henry. 

Her chest pressed tightly against Henry's head, she looked triumphantly pleased.

Who on earth is this?

Emily froze in place.

She had been away for just a day, and there was already another woman by Henry's side? 

Seeing Carly sniffing around Henry, Emily lost her composure and shouted, "He's my man, get off him!"

Emily strode up to Henry and yanked Carly away. 

But quickly regaining her senses, Emily realized she had shattered her sweet girl image. 

Henry and the others looked at Emily with perplexed expressions.

Oh God!

I wish I could crawl into a hole and disappear.

Emily's face turned beet red.

"Nair, we haven't had the chance to introduce you yet. This is Carly, the new member of our team. She's a wood-related support..." Anna quickly stepped in to break the awkwardness, introducing Carly to Emily. 

Carly, however, seemed as confused as if she were hearing gibberish.

This is it,

Emily thought, her image in Henry's mind must be ruined now. Finally, she managed a pale smile: "Hello Carly, my name is Emily."

Carly, seemingly unbothered by the awkwardness just a moment ago, curiously sniffed Emily. "Wow, you smell nice too."

The awkwardness dissipated, and Emily timely proposed a dinner treat to bond with the new member. "I'll cover the bill for tonight!"

Thinking of the Farid family resources at her disposal, Emily didn't hesitate to splurge, even buying several bottles of red wine worth dozens of gold coins.

Seeing the wine, Henry chuckled. "I think the alcohol tolerance of you girls isn't very high. Buying so much wine, isn't it all going to benefit me alone?"

"I can drink with you, Henry, but you have to let me ride on your back for an hour tomorrow," Carly, eager to cling to Henry, chimed in.

"Do you drink?" Henry looked at the petite Carly, doubting she could handle even a small glass of wine.

"Carly, you shouldn't push yourself too hard. What if you harm your body? Do you want to maintain a loli physique forever?"

"My constitution is special, don't worry." 

Carly, eager to try, opened the wine bottle with a corkscrew, ignoring the glasses and pouring directly into her mouth.

"For heaven's sake, what kind of drinking style is that? This is a famous wine from Cole Estate, at least let it breathe before you drink!" 

Henry couldn't help but remark as he watched Carly's wasteful drinking behavior.

An hour later, the table was laden with expensive bottles of red wine. 

Carly happily hugged the sleeping Henry, sniffing various spots on his body. 

"Henry smells even better when he's drunk, carrying a fresh grape scent."

"Carly, don't you feel drunk at all?" Anna and Emily stared at the little girl in front of them, their mouths agape, unsure of what to say. 

The little girl had single-handedly finished off more than a dozen bottles of red wine. 

Not satisfied, she even asked the waiter for two bottles of vodka. 

Despite making frequent trips to the restroom, she showed no other signs of intoxication. 

This tolerance had even brought Henry to his knees.

"I already told you, my constitution is special. Toxins hardly affect me, including alcohol. It's like drinking water for me, tasteless."

"So, that's the reason." 

Anna and Emily finally understood why Henry had lost, realizing they were in the presence of a true goddess of wine.

Emily, having consumed a couple of glasses of red wine herself, felt a slight buzz. 

She gazed at Henry's face, asleep under the candlelight, and swallowed hard. 

She thought about all their moments together – Henry first appearing as a genius, aiding her in leveling up, defending her dignity in front of Fatima, and not abandoning her despite Fatima's invitation. 

She even remembered listening in on Anna and Henry's intimate moments every day. 

All these memories stirred a turmoil of emotions within her.

"Anna, I'm not sure if I should tell you this," Emily whispered into Anna's ear, sharing her thoughts.

At first, Anna's expression changed, but then she encouraged her sister, saying, "It's okay, I don't mind at all."

"When you joined the team, I knew this day would come," she continued. 

"Go ahead and try, I guarantee you, after one time with Henry, you'll be unable to resist, sister."

...

After dinner, everyone returned to the villa. 

As Henry dozed off, he felt a naked, hot body slip into his bed. 

She clung to Henry, rubbing her breasts against his manhood. 

Instantly, Henry was awakened by a surge of desire.

"Anna, you really don't stop, do you!" Henry couldn't miss this opportunity. 

In the darkness, their fiery bodies started to intertwine. 

Henry, slightly groggy, noticed that Anna's moans were unusually intense that night, even trembling for a long while as they were together. 

But he didn't think much of it and fell into a deep sleep after several hours.

The next morning, Henry woke up to find not Anna, but Emily in his arms, with a dried patch of blood on the bed.

"Henry, you won't blame me, will you?" Emily asked pitifully, lying in Henry's arms.

Henry instantly guessed what had happened, even suspecting Anna might have orchestrated it. 

He tenderly stroked Emily's hair and said, "Don't worry... from now on, you are my woman."
