Chapter 37

The Emmersons refused to give up and called again.

Angeline decisively blocked their number. She began organizing the pieces of evidence she had leftbehind

against the Emmersons.

Meanwhile, the Emmersons were grumbling in the hotel and coming together to curse Angeline.

“That bitch is just like her useless mom! Shameless scum! All she wants is Benjamin’s inheritance!”Juliet

seethed with hatred.

“Benjamin, you must perform well tomorrow on the show. No matter what, you have to get in contactwith your

grandpa. Don’t let that bitch get what’s yours!”

“She’s all grown up now. How dare she threaten me with imprisonment? I’m her biological father! Igave hernovelbin

her life! I can take it as I wish!” George’s face darkened as he spoke harshly.

Jay was how the Emmersons addressed Jessica, Angeline’s birth mother.

Women abducted to Emmerson Village were simply meant for childbearing, so no one cared whattheir names

were.

Upon learning that Angeline’s birth mother’s name started with the letter “J”, George startedreferring to her as

Jay.

“When Jodie was 12, I couldn’t bring her back. Now that she has all grown up, why would she justreturn to

Emmerson Village with us? George, you took the Morgan crip’s money. If Jodie doesn’t go back,how do we

explain ourselves to him?”

“If she dares!” George was trembling with anger.

“Her nude photos are everywhere. We’ll talk about this on the show tomorrow. By then, everyone inOceanford.

will know she sold herself in college and condemn her. Then, she’ll have no choice but to comeback with us

to Emmerson Village and marry the Morgan crip.”

At 12:30 pm the next day, Angeline headed to Oceanford TV Station with the prepared materials.

lan, who had received a call from Sean, met Angeline before the show started.

At exactly 2:00 pm, the recording began.

The studio was packed with an audience.

This show already had high ratings. Now, with the incident between Ingrid and Anne-the show’sguest-at the

airport, the show gained more attention.

As usual, lan gave a brief introduction before Inviting the Emmersons to narrate the incident.

George put away his ferocity from yesterday when he was on the phone with Angeline. He sat onthe couch meekly with his thin, hunched body. He kept his head down and did not say a word,pretending to be pitiful.

Benjamin slowly began to speak about how he missed his birth mother and recounted how pitiful hewas when he was a child as he was bullled and called a child without a mother. Many olderaudience members were moved to tears listening to him.

Juliet began to shed tears as she listened to Benjamin’s words. She then recounted her hardships,swearing that she was not a wicked mother-in-law.

“We treated Benjamin’s mom like a treasure as soon as she came to our house. We never madeher do any work. When she was sick, I was the one who fed her. But our family was too poor, soshe left the child and ran

away.”

Katie quickly comforted Juliet. Her eyes were red-rimmed.

Following lan’s arrangement, Angeline sat quietly in the backstage dressing room. As she watchedthe Emmersons perform through the screen, she didn’t feel anything at all.

“How could she do that? Why would there be such a heartless woman? If she thought the familywas poor, she should take the child with her!”

“Anyone can be a parent nowadays. They just give birth to the children but don’t raise them. Poorchild!”
