Adrien still left.
Janie’s disposition toward Emmeline underwent a complete transformation.
“Emma, I misunderstood you. I’m sorry.”
“Emma, would you like to be my best friend? We can spend time together and do fun things.”
“Hey, Emma, next time you schedule something with Mr. Benjamin, shall we grab some food together?”
“Ms. Eastwood,” Emmeline said impatiently, “I still have work to do. Can we talk another time?”
“Oh, okay,” Janie said, waving her hand. “I won’t take up much more of your time. Emma, I’ll see yousoon.”
“Okay,” Emmeline said, her ears finally at peace.
“Emma!” Director Faughn shouted from outside, “It’s your turn!”
“Okay, I’m coming!”
Emmeline changed her clothes and left the set after filming.
Adrien’s sports car was elegantly parked outside the renowned Pizzeria Draghi, a local establishmentknown for its delectable pizza.
He acted cool and propped himself against the hood of his car, a faint smile playing upon his lips as heawaited the arrival of a pretty lady.
As Emmeline approached him, she leaned over and deftly opened the passenger door next to thedriver’s side.
“Here, I’m returning this to you.”
Emmeline removed her necklace and gave it to Adrien after she noticed that he had entered the carand shut the door.
“I didn’t want to embarrass you in front of Janie.”
Adrien was stunned for a moment.novelbin
“I didn’t come here to eat. I’m going back to the café.”
“Emma,” Adrien exclaimed as he hastily took hold of her hand, “I understand you’re busy earning aliving, but you don’t have to exert yourself so much. You still have me. I’ll look after you and the kids.I’m not the same Adrien I used to be. You have to trust me!”
“We’ll see about that,” Emmeline said as she reached for the car door.
“Emma.” Adrian held her back again. “I’ll give you a bank card right now. It’s for the children’s livingexpenses. You really don’t have to rush back to sell coffee.”
Emmeline was quiet for a while.
Emmeline’s expression turned sullen as she replied, “My employee is managing the café alone, so Ineed to hurry back.”
“But what about the children’s living expenses…”
“I can handle the kids on my own.”
With the bank card in hand, Adrien watched as Emmeline swiftly shut the car door and disappearedfrom view.
The massive motorcycle she rode was still stationed at the studio’s entrance.
She got caught in the rain yesterday, so Benjamin drove her home to rest. He then returned her in themorning.
“Emma!” Adrien exclaimed as he started the car and pursued her. “Don’t turn me down!”
Emmeline had already mounted her motorcycle and sped off.
…
Alana returned to the hospital and panted heavily on the bed.
The sight that unfolded before her at “The Precipice” was beyond her wildest imaginings.
Abel had his arms around the naked Emmeline while he was sleeping on the bed.
Moreover, they had spent the entire night together.
It was throughout the entire night!
What was it that they couldn’t do?
“Emmeline!”
Alana harbored such intense disdain that the relentless clenching of her teeth caused pain, nearlyshattering them.
“I can’t just let you go. I want you to disappear completely!”
After standing up, she closed the ward’s door, retrieved her mobile phone, and proceeded to call Adam.
“Mr. Adam, I have something to ask of you.”
“Alana, aren’t you supposed to be resting?” Adam snorted coldly.
“Mr. Adam,” Alana said, “I want you to help me get rid of Emmeline. I am willing to do whatever ittakes.”
“Hehe,” Adam sneered, “What exactly are you capable of doing? What can you do for me?”
“I want Emmeline dead, I want to marry Abel, and I am willing to serve as your informant for the rest ofmy life. If anything happens at Ryker Group, I will let you know anything and everything right away!”
“Just don’t underestimate Abel.”
“And I definitely won’t underestimate you, Mr. Adam.”
“I will think about it,” Adam said, “When the time is right, I will help you deal with her!”
With that, Adam coldly ended the call.
Alana felt a little confused.
Judging by his tone, Adam didn’t seem too bothered about helping her.
What should she do now?
She couldn’t just walk out of the hospital, having been “seriously injured,” and wreck Emmeline.
However, Alana didn’t want to continue enduring the situation.
Alana thought about it for a bit, then decided to give Alondra a call.
“Auntie Alondra, I need your help to teach that b*tch, Emmeline, a lesson!”
“What’s the matter this time?”
The timbre of Alondra’s voice carried a subtle hint of impatience.
