So, all the guests remained on the island to enjoy the beautiful night scenery, including Emma and Eric.
“Thanks to Craig, I get to watch fireworks tonight,” Emma smiled as she leaned into Eric’s arms. Even though Emma was lucky to have married Eric, he was not the type to plan romantic gestures.
“You don’t think I’m romantic enough?” Eric asked.
Emma shook her head, “I’m glad that you don’t do showy things like this. Stuff like this is only suited to a weirdo like Craig. He’s the only one that has so much spare time on his hands.”
Eric smiled, suddenly annoyed by the daughter in his arms, “How good would it be if Yan Er wasn’t here…”
They were on a private island surrounded by nothing but stars. If their daughter wasn’t there, he could have done whatever he desired.
“Stop thinking too much, Daddy Eric. It’s time to feed your daughter.”
…
While everyone was immersed in the beautiful night scenery, Mother Bei was busy preparing the bedroom for the newlyweds. But, that was when she discovered a collection of books underneath Craig’s pillow; they were all about dep**ssion.
When Mother Bei saw the books, her heart ached. She felt that her son’s illness was due to her lack of care. But, when she looked at the books in detail, she discovered that dep**ssion needed to be treated with medicine. However, she didn’t see a single pill in Craig’s home.
Even when she searched thoroughly, she still did not find any, nor did she come across any medical reports from the hospital to confirm his illness.
Perhaps, he was simply attending therapy?
With this possibility in mind, Mother Bei put the books away and left the bedroom.
Unfortunately, this uncertainty would eventually be clarified in a surprising way…
…
After Craig and Xiner got married, there was one less good man in the industry. Of course, all the young socialite heiresses knew that Craig wasn’t easy to deal with, so they did not place any hope on getting with him anyway. They were simply curious as to the kind of woman that managed to tie down a weirdo like Craig.
Due to a pregnancy checkup, Lisa was extremely regretful that she couldn’t attend Xiner’s wedding with Emma.
But, when she found out that Craig lied to his parents to get approval to marry Xiner, Lisa actually disagreed with Emma’s opinion.
“I know you like being honest and can’t accept deception of any kind. But, are you really capable of telling your family everything?”
“Sometimes, white lies work well; this is the trick to getting along.”
“There were a lot of rich socialite women at the wedding that were gossiping and judging Xiner, I simply don’t want her to be bullied by the Bei Family after they find out the truth. If someone is to take blame for the lies, Craig should shoulder it himself.”
Emma’s predictions were correct; the Bei Family wasn’t stupid.
“This may be true. I hope Craig can protect Xiner well. As for you, I think you should stop stressing over other’s matters. It’s almost time for the Sky Honor Awards. I think you should worry about your film instead.”
“Also, I heard that Boss picked up a child the other day. The Zhai Family is currently looking everywhere for it,” Lisa mentioned. “Since their daughter will be abused after they find it, why can’t they just let the little girl go?”
Emma shook her head in response, “You wouldn’t understand, from the perspective of the law, a child has inheritance rights regardless of its gender. What would the Zhai Family do if their daughter reappears in the future and fights with her brother for inheritance?”
“Haiz…the socialite world is too deep. It’s so frightening…”
“Keep your eye on this matter, don’t let the Zhai Family know about it. The Zhai Family doesn’t hold Liang Yongyu with any regard. I saw how the second son appeared at Xiner’s wedding with another woman.”
“That’s why I don’t understand why the young and beautiful Liang Yongyu insists on condemning herself this way. Moreover, apart from money, what’s so good about the second son of the Zhai Family? Why are women throwing themselves at him?”
After hearing these questions, Emma threw Lisa’s words back on her, “Stop stressing over other’s matters. It’s almost time for the Sky Honor Awards. I think you should worry about our film instead.”
“As for Xiner, I simply hope she can hold out on her secret for a little longer.”
But, it didn’t take long before the Zhai Family found their way to Kaleidoscope to meet with Eric.
The second son of the Zhai Family personally rolled up to Kaleidoscope in his Maybach. Although he didn’t specifically say that he was there for his child, his conversation with Eric was relatively heated, “I heard that Mr. Roborts picked up ‘something’ that belongs to the Zhai Family outside the theater a few days ago. I hope Mr. Roborts can return it to us soon. This is no laughing matter.”
Eric remained in his seat and smiled with an intimidating presence, “Are you joking, Second Master Zhai? Yes, I picked up ‘something’, but I’ve already returned it to its owner, why are you here looking for me?”
Second Master Zhai furrowed his brows and adjusted his glasses. He then looked at Eric again, “Are you telling the truth Mr. Roborts?”
“Of course, if you don’t believe me, you can go home and speak to your ‘lady friend’. You should ask her about how I rejected her even though she kneeled and begged me.”
“Mr. Roborts, we’ve always had our own paths. I hope you don’t stick your nose into our family business.” This was Second Master Zhai’s warning before he left. But, of course, Mr. Roborts wasn’t threatened.
“I have no time to stick my nose in your business. As long as you stop kneeling in front of me, I’m good.”
In the end, Second Master Zhai turned and left empty-handed.
In front of Eric, even the son of the rich*st man wouldn’t be able to act arrogant.
But, what was he trying to prove by showing up at Kaleidoscope with a Maybach and all his limited edition accessories?
Soon, Emma heard about the incident and found out that the Zhai Family visited Kaleidoscope. So, she felt a little worried, “Is the Zhai Family planning to cause trouble?”
“My world cannot be affected by those outside of the industry,” Eric replied calmly.
“No wonder Liang Yongyu went around looking for help from outsiders and even went so far as to abandon her, rather than letting her suffer at home. From the looks of it, life with the Zhai Family was indeed difficult.”
“That has nothing to do with us,” Eric comforted. “You need to forget about it.”
Emma nodded. In reality, when it came to wealth, the Miller Family and Roborts Family were comparable to the Zhai’s. But, they existed in very different industries because the Zhai’s worked with luxurious diamonds.
…
After returning to his glamorous home, Second Master Zhai walked straight into Liang Yongyu’s room and grabbed onto her neck, “Where’s our daughter gone? Didn’t you say that the Roborts Family took her in? I spoke to the Roborts Family and they said that they rejected your plee. How much longer do you want to lie to me?”
“Moreover, Eric already has three children, why would he have time for our daughter?”
“Lintian, I honestly didn’t lie to you, the Roborts Family took our daughter!”
“How dare you continue with your lie!” Second Master Zhai brushed Liang Yongyu aside. “You need to understand where you stand. You’re just a mere model that’s trying to join the Zhai Family. Either you match our status or you give birth to a son! Also, keep in mind that you’re not my only woman!”
“Lintian, listen to me, I’ll try my best, I’ll definitely give you a son.”
“Before that happens, you better stay in line,” Zhai Lintian said before he turned and left, leaving Liang Yongyu crying on the floor.
This was the reality of a socialite family; her relationship with Zhai Lintian could only be sustained with the birth of a son.
If she gave birth to another daughter, she would never be able to join the Zhai Family.
It was time to think of another plan!
Top socialite families like this, were ones that Emma didn’t like getting involved with. They were the kind of people that flaunted tens of millions like it was nothing and lived their lives aimlessly.
…
Soon, the Sky Honor Awards announced the final nominations list. Whether it was Eric’s nomination for Best Actor or Qiao Sen’s nomination for Best Director, both of them made it onto their respective lists.
Emma felt this was the best consolation for Qiao Sen.
As usual, the Sky Honor Awards ceremony was scheduled for February. By this time, ‘The Ant Queen’ had already reached 2 billion in box office sales. For a sci-fi film, this was an unimaginable amount. People within the industry never thought this was a possibility, but Emma managed to do it.
As a result, plenty of investors were enthusiastic about investing into ‘The Ant Queen 2’. However, Emma had no plans for it yet.
But, even more enthusiastic than the investors, were actors that wanted to take part in ‘The Ant Queen 2’.
All those that once ridiculed Emma, all those that looked down on her and doubted her, were now huddling sadly in the corner…
Now, everyone in the industry was convinced by Emma.
At this time, a famous magazine contacted Eric, wanting to write a book about Emma; they wanted to document her legend, but Emma firmly rejected them.
Her response was, “From my perspective, my aim is simply to prove that I am capable of doing certain things. There’s no need to turn it into a legend. There’s nothing for others to learn from my experience, it means nothing to others. Above all, I’m only 30, I don’t want to define myself so quickly.”
As a result, Emma was quite an interesting person in the eyes of the media. She was obviously easy to get along with, yet she refused to write books, release biographies, attend interviews and participate in talk shows. This made it impossible for people to find out anything about her.
Of course, Emma’s status had improved a lot ever since ‘The Ant Queen’ started screening. By now, she was already on the level of a national treasure in the film and television industry and everyone respected her.
Did this mean…she was finally on the same level as Eric?
There were times when Emma asked herself that too.
But, she still felt there was something missing…
Just before the Sky Honor Awards Ceremony, Lin Qian ended up giving birth to a premature baby. Fortunately, its health was not affected. Because Mother Li kept a close eye on Lin Qian during her pregnancy, she ended up gaining a lot of weight even after she gave birth.
When Emma and Lisa arrived at the hospital and saw Lin Qian’s son, they were both extremely happy for her.
“Congratulations, welcome to the world of motherhood.”
“You’re already on your second child. I can never compare to you!” Lin Qian laughed as she looked at Lisa’s stomach.
“Where’s Li Jin?”
