Elder Miller adjusted his complex exp**ssion and replied, “Come in.”
Elodie pushed open the door and entered, revealing a dazzling smile. She directly approached Elder Miller, grabbed onto his arm and started swaying it from side to side, “Grandfather, it’s so boring being a pregnant woman at home. Can I go out and do some work?”
Work…
After Elder Miller uncovered the true Elodie, everything that came out of her mouth sounded like it was a part of her scheme.
Elodie mentioned working because she obviously wanted to use the child as an excuse to return to Miller Corps. and set the foundations for her comeback.
“You’ve only fallen pregnant not long ago. If you work, you will tire out my precious grandchild.”
“No I won’t, grandfather. You know how I am. The more you won’t allow me to do something…the more I want to do it.”
Elder Miller was well aware of her temper. It seemed, Elodie was under the assumption that even if Elder Miller didn’t hand the family business over to her, he would at least give her back her previous role. But…
…her assumptions were wrong…
Elder Miller agreed to let her work. He knew if he didn’t, she would put on another act to gain sympathy. So, he smiled and patted her on the back of the hand, “OK, I’ll let you work. I’ll make a phone call in a moment to organize everything for you. But, you need to promise me that you’ll take good care of your body and won’t work as hard as you used to.”
“Thank you, grandfather,” Elodie cheered. She assumed, judging by the way her grandfather spoiled her, it was only a matter of time before she’d kick Bertha out and retrieve what belonged to her.
“Get some rest. Grandfather still needs to look through some documents.” After everything that happened, Elder Miller now found Elodie’s smile scary and fake.
She was meant be a part of the family, but instead, she was like a demon that enjoyed hurting the most important people around her.
“OK.”
Elodie achieved her motive, so she turned to leave the room. At this moment, Elder Miller suddenly held her back, “Go upstairs and tell Bertha to come see me.”
“I’ll go right away.”
Elodie assumed that Elder Miller wanted to see Bertha about giving her back her role in the company, so she immediately headed to Bertha’s room. Keeping up with her weak act, she said, “Auntie, grandfather wants to see you in the study room.”
Bertha held back the urge to slap Elodie across the face as she kept her focus on the documents in her hands, “I’ll be down there in a second.”
Elodie’s gaze contained a trace of victory. She could already imagine that Bertha’s role would soon be non-existent.
However, she had no idea how much self control it took for Bertha to hold herself back from hitting her…
Not long after, Bertha headed downstairs and entered Elder Miller’s study room, “Father, you asked for me?”
Elder Miller pointed to the doorway with his chin, gesturing to her that Elodie may be eavesdropping, “Follow me.”
Bertha nodded her head and accompanied Elder Miller out onto the balcony where Elodie no longer had the chance to eavesdrop.
“Elodie wants to go back to work at Miller Corps., so I agreed to let her return…”
“Father…”
“Let me finish.” Elder Miller looked into the distance; his gaze was filled with disappointment and sadness, “I’ll leave this matter for you to handle. Give her the easiest job in the company and use her pregnancy as an excuse to temporarily supp**ss her. I know she won’t keep to herself, so, organize someone to monitor her, trace her every movement, and act accordingly.”
“If it wasn’t because of the child in her stomach…”
“Father, I understand how you feel,” Bertha patted Elder Miller on the back of his hand. “If it wasn’t because she was pregnant, I would have broken her legs already.”
After all, Emma had almost become a victim of her evil schemes.
After careful discussion, Bertha left Elder Miller’s study room. Meanwhile, Elodie pretended to be watching television. As soon as she saw Bertha step out, she stood up and looked at her.
“Come report to the office tomorrow,” Bertha instructed calmly.
“Thank you, auntie,” Elodie tilted her head, sure that Bertha and Elder Miller had just undergone an argument.
However, she had no idea that noone in the household would ever be tricked by her again.
Bertha let out a gentle laugh, but her voice contained a sense of disdain. Elodie simply thought Bertha wasn’t happy about her return. So, when noone noticed, her l*ps secretly curved upwards.
Tomorrow…
…there was going to be a good show.
…
After returning on set, Emma quickly got back into character. Perhaps it was because the problem with Elodie had now been solved, she was in better condition than before and found it easier to focus.
However, just as one problem was solved, that night, another big news made its way onto the entertainment news headlines.
Craig was caught k**sing a mystery woman on his doorstep.
Although the identity of the woman wasn’t clear, they were captured on camera, intimately returning to his villa.
Originally, this had nothing to do with Emma. But, seeing this piece of news still made Emma furrow her brows…
Craig was extremely lazy and the only person he ever had beside him was his assistant, Xiner. Plus, he obviously liked Xiner, so why was he suddenly caught on camera hugging another woman?
She had indeed been too busy to care about the people around her lately. So, after seeing the news, she immediately gave Xiner a phone call, “Xiner, what happened with Craig?”
“I’m not sure, I’m currently handling the PR,” Xiner’s voice contained a sense of disbelief.
“Xiner…you and Craig…”
“A few days ago, Fletcher sent me an invite to Kaleidoscope’s PR examination. After that, Craig started acting really strange,” Xiner recalled. She didn’t believe that she’d spend an entire lifetime by Craig’s side. After all, she was bound to move forward in life. So, she did not think there was anything wrong with her taking part in Kaleidoscope’s exam.
“You obviously know that he likes you…” Emma jumped straight to the point. “Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed.”
