Chapter 922 Nobody Bullies My Mother
Emma continued, “It’s not just Margo City. For almost thirty years, I was only allowed to move within this block. They
warned me that if I ever stepped out of the boundary, I’d receive a serious beating.”
Levi widened his eyes so much that they could almost drop out. “What? You were only allowed to move within this
block for almost thirty years?”

ruthless scumbags!
“Yes. The Garrisons had ordered the people in Margo City to imprison me here. To make it foolproof, they
deliberately narrowed the range down to just this block.” Emma sighed.
When Levi heard her words, rage pulsed through his veins, and a murderous intent flashed across his eyes. “Emma,
have you been a sanitation worker all these years?” The thought of it broke Zoey’s heart.
“Yes. They control everything that I do, including my job. I was only allowed to be a sanitation worker because
they’d wanted me to struggle,” replied Emma with a nod, who then smiled at the tearful Zoey. “I was fine, though.
On top of my salary, scavenging around was enough to help me get by.”
Even so, everybody else could see how things really were, for it was impossible to forget seeing what Emma was
willing to do for fifty. “But your health…” Zoey choked before she could finish.
“It’s nothing. As long as I continue to take my medications, I’ll be fine. The pain does get a little worse during cloudy
and rainy days, though,” explained Emma casually.
Still, her sickness made her look at least twenty years older than she was. Momentarily, Emma suddenly

and Zoey in confusion.
“They’re always watching me. For almost thirty years, nobody was allowed to enter this courtyard or even talk to
me. That was why I didn’t have to lock the door. Nobody would dare to come by. If they find you here, you’ll all be in
danger. There might even be a serious beating.”
In a panic, Emma tried to hurry the three out, but Levi would not budge.
“It’s okay, Mom. Nobody will lay a finger on you while I’m around.”
Levi sneered. “Nobody bullies my mother!”
“We’re no match for these people, so please just go! They’ll see you!” begged Emma anxiously.
