West Mountain Residence. Maple Leaf Study Room.
Elder Miller’s assistant handed him his phone, “Chairman look, it’s a phone call from the CEO of Kaleidoscope…”
“Pass it here,” Elder Miller put down the perfume sample in his hands and received the phone from his assistant. He then gestured for him to leave.
The assistant respectfully turned to leave. Afterwards, Elder Miller lifted the phone to his ear and answered with a deep and aged voice.
“Elder Miller, how are you?” Eric’s voice was deep and intimidating.
“So, you are the man that my granddaughter is dating?” Elder Miller jumped straight into the main question.
“I am Eric,” Eric greeted without being humble nor pushy. In terms of power, neither of them seemed to hold the upper hand. Although Elder Miller was older and wiser, Eric was stable and unpredictable.
“Hmmph, how could there be true love in a dirty place like the entertainment industry?”
Eric gave a gentle laugh, not taking Elder Miller’s discrimination to heart. He then asked, “I asked someone to send a gift to your home. I wonder if Elder Miller received it?”
“What gift?”
“I sent a gift regarding mine and Emma’s marriage. But, not long after, a rumor started that I was to marry the heiress from the Cromwell Family…”
“What are you trying to say?” Elder Miller asked coldly.
“The Cromwell Family and Miller Family seem to be on good terms. I previously had a misunderstanding with Miss Cromwell, so if this has caused you to misunderstand me, I can explain myself. There’s no need for you to start a false rumor to hurt Emma,” Eric said in an even colder voice. “You have the right to ignore Emma and pretend she doesn’t exist, but you can’t stop me from treating her well.”
Eric’s words were well planned out like an art form.
Firstly, he let Elder Miller know a gift was delivered, then he let him know a rumor was started. Lastly, he hinted that because the Miller Family and Cromwell Family shared information, this incident was bound to be related to them.”
“Rascal, do you know how to respect your elders?” Elder Miller had never been questioned in this way.
“If I have offended you in any way, please excuse me. But, if you don’t want to acknowledge the existence of your granddaughter, you can hand her over to me.” After speaking, Eric hung up the phone.
Elder Miller was a little stunned. He immediately called his assistant into the room, “Make a phone call home immediately and ask if Kaleidoscope has sent any gifts over. Also, compile all of the latest news about Emma. Quick!”
10 minutes later, the assistant returned to the study room and said, “The housekeeper said a box had arrived but the Big Miss opened it. Also, here’s the news on Miss Emma.”
Elder Miller opened the newspaper and looked at the judgment placed on his granddaughter. He was so angry he slammed his hands on the table, “How dare these people talk r*bbish about my granddaughter! Plus, my granddaughter is capable of everything, how could they compare her to the useless Miss Cromwell?”
“Chairman, control your anger!”
Elder Miller took a deep breath and calmed down, “According to the rascal with the surname Roberts, the person who rumored that he was getting married to Miss Cromwell is someone from the Miller Family.”
“Chairman, could he have made a mistake?”
Elder Miller shook his head, “That rascal rules over an entire industry, how could he make a mistake? Since he said the Miller Family did it, he must have looked into it. Plus, couldn’t you tell he deliberately called to report the issue? He is obviously hinting that this isn’t the first time the Miller Family has done something like this to Emma.”
“The Big Miss is indeed suspicious,” Elder Miller’s assistant responded.
“Elodie has no tolerance for others. How could I leave the family business in her hands?”
“You’re right. In terms of capability and personality, Miss Emma is definitely better than all her siblings,” the assistant agreed.
“I think it’s time to reorganize the family.” After speaking, Elder Miller stood up with the support of his walking stick, “Let’s go. Escort me back to the Miller Family home.”
“Chairman…Do you want to return right now?”
“If I don’t go now, they won’t know how serious the matter is.” After speaking, the assistant escorted Elder Miller out of the West Mountain Residence and directly headed back to the Miller Family home.
…
After Eric hung up his phone, he returned to the bedroom from the bathroom. Seeing Emma sound asleep in bed, he leaned over and gave her a k**s on the forehead.
“What is it?” Emma asked drowsily.
Eric gently brushed her cheek and said in a comforting voice, “Nothing. I simply want to say that I will always be by your side.”
Emma revealed a comfortable smile and slowly fell back asleep.
Tomorrow would be the p**ss release for ‘Hidden Expert’. Which meant, it would also be a great chance to clarify everything…
Of course, Eric did not intend to announce their marriage directly. He still wanted to wait and see if the Miller Family and the Cromwell heiress had a backup plan. He was going to clear out the pathway for Emma to become his Queen in one fell swoop.
…
Late at night, the lights to the Miller Family home suddenly turned on. Afterwards, everyone from the Miller Family was dragged out of bed by Elder Miller.
As the members of the Miller Family were all busy with their own things, it wasn’t often that they’d all be home at the same time. So, on this particular day, there was only Elodie and her husband, Mr. Miller and Emma’s birth mother (now officially Madam Miller).
“Father, it’s so late. Is there a reason you’ve woken everyone up?” Mr. Miller asked as he sat on the sofa.
Elder Miller sat in the center of the living room with a powerful presence. His eyes looked piercingly towards Elodie, “Elodie, have you forgotten to give something to me?”
Elodie was a little stunned, but she quickly understood what he was referring to, “Grandfather…”
“Did you think I’m old and blind so I wouldn’t be able to keep my eyes on you?” Elder Miller slammed his walking stick on the floor. “Are you going to hand it over, or should I give Kaleidoscope a call?”
Elodie’s exp**ssion was unimp**ssed as she retrieved the box from her bedroom and placed it in front of Elder Zellweger.
“Can you explain to me what this is?” Elder Miller seemed to be asking a question he already knew the answer to.
“A gift from the CEO of Kaleidoscope. It seems he wants to notify us that he is planning to marry Emma…”
“Then, can you tell me what this is?” Elder Zellweger pulled out a newspaper and threw it in front of Elodie. “Don’t tell me this had nothing to do with you.”
Elodie trembled but she still picked up the newspaper from the floor and looked at it.
“Grandfather…what has Elodie done?” Elodie’s husband had no idea what game of charades this grandfather and granddaughter were playing.
Elder Miller stood up with a powerful presence, “This isn’t the first time you have hurt Emma this way. Am I right?”
“Grandfather…How could you be so certain that I hurt Emma?”
“Do you still feel you are innocent?” Elder Miller roared. “I’ve already asked your assistant. The rumours indeed started from you. You couldn’t bear seeing Emma marry someone with a powerful background, so you tried everything you could to tear them apart. In the end, you started a false rumor, causing my granddaughter to be judged by everyone.”
“The more you do stuff like this, the less likely I will hand the family business over to you.”
