Chapter 385 – My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel

Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel

Xiner had no idea that Craig was returning to New York because of her.

She naively thought he was simply returning because he accepted a job.

But, as long as she got to go back to Bejing, she was cheering on the inside. If she was to continue staying in this place, she was going to go crazy.

Craig looked at the joy on Xiner’s face and couldn’t help but sigh. So they say, good things come to those that wait…

Dealing with Xiner was like slow-cooking a frog!

He had to be patient. There was plenty of time ahead.

But, did she really not want the honor and pride of being the assistant of a national treasure actor?

Did she know how many people were lining up for this opportunity?

Craig sighed…

He had no choice but to patiently tame her. Why couldn’t she take his hints the way that Emma easily took Eric’s hints?

After Craig withdrew from ‘Hidden Expert’, the production crew had no choice but to stop filming.

In reality, they could have just replaced him. But…this was a film made specifically for Craig. So, other actors on the same level refused to pick up after him.

Their other option was to replace him with a newcomer. But if they were to do that, the film would lose all value and meaning. As a result, any further investment would just sink to the bottom of the ocean.

After all…not everyone had the ability to sell tickets like Craig!

Over the course of two days, the rumor about Emma keeping ghosts, slowly disappeared. The hype had been overshadowed by news of other celebrities.

Meanwhile, under the p**ssures of Kaleidoscope, the police eventually found Hadassaha, the person in charge of inspecting Emma’s harness.

Hadassaha admitted that she had indeed received money from someone, but she had never seen the person in real life. When the police traced the calls she received, the calls ended up leading to public phones.

As for the money she received, it was all in cash and was picked up at a designated location.

It was clear to see that the instigator was rigorous and cautious. Above all, their methods were skillful like an experienced offender.

A little while later, Kaleidoscope and the police released a statement explaining the entire incident. Although their leads ended at Hadassaha, the police used their most severe tone of voice to warn the public that they would continue in the search for the true culprit.

As soon as the statement was released, the media and netizens were in shock. As for the rumor that Emma had to pay for using witchcraft was completely debunked.

This was practically the first time since Emma’s comeback that she had directly revealed the unseen darkness of the industry to the public.

Eric’s motive was simple, he wanted to tell those that were wary of Emma that she was framed and did not partake in any wrongful acts.

Of course, he no longer cared if other’s wanted Emma in their films or not, because ‘WH’ was already quite a masterpiece…Plus, disaster movies like this were always the best genre for improving an actor’s skills.

He also believed Emma would spread her wings after the release of the film.

“Elodie should be thankful that she has a smart assistant!” Emma said as she put down her scribble-filled script. She then turned and looked at Eric, “Actually, we could follow her assistant.”

“Right now, your main priority is to prepare for your film. Don’t let small things like this bother you…our days are aplenty,” Eric temporarily put down his documents and looked at Emma meaningfully.

“Her actions completely show how envious and afraid she is of me. I should be happy that my every living day is torture for her,” Emma stared straight ahead for a moment before she turned back to the script in her hand, “I will be extra careful from now on.”

Eric wanted to teach Elodie a lesson on the business stage, but, her business was the Miller Family’s business. If he was to make a move, Emma would feel guilty and become more forgiving towards Elodie.

However, he didn’t need to worry, because ‘someone’ was bound to make a move first.

With this thought, Eric returned his attention to the documents in front of him.

…

That evening, sitting atop Elodie’s office desk was information that her assistant had gathered.

It was none other than clues found from investigating Elder Miller’s lawyer.

“President Miller, when you put all this information together, it appears Elder Miller has written his will,” Elodie’s assistant said as he stood at the foot of her desk, “Plus…”

“Plus, what?”

“According to my friend at the law firm, Elder Miller has decided to hand the entire business to Emma,” the assistant revealed after a moment of hesitation. The reason for his hesitation was because his friend had warned him not to take the wrong side; he should consider that Emma was going to take over the business sooner or later. Although his friend was only hinting it, it was clear to see how sneaky Elder Miller was.

After hearing from her assistant, Elodie scrunched the paper in her hands into a ball.

“Here I was doing my best after becoming the Acting President, meanwhile, grandfather had actually decided to hand everything over to Emma. In what way do I not compare to her?”

“President Miller, what are you going to do now?”

“What am I going to do? Of course I can’t let someone else take over,” Elodie said as she clenched her fists. “Since I’m here, why do we need her? Emma has already married into her dream family, why must she fight over the Miller Family business with me?”

“Do you have a plan?” the assistant asked.

“Let me think about it.”

The incident with the harness had already been discovered. If she wanted to harm Emma again, it was practically impossible.

So, the person she truly needed to deal with was actually Elder Miller; the Chairman of the Miller Family business; her grandfather!

“Let me go home and chat to grandfather.”

“You are the Eldest grandchild, it is only natural for you to be the successor of the Family business. No matter what, I will remain by your side and assist you,” her assistant took the opportunity to reveal his loyalty.

Elodie nodded her head. It seemed, in this entire world, this man was the last remaining person she could trust…

…even though he was merely an assistant…

Late into the night, Elodie returned to the Miller Family home. As she entered the front door, she spotted Mrs Miller. After giving her a sharp glare she headed straight for Elder Miller’s study room, “Grandfather, it’s Elodie. I want to have a chat with you.”

“Your grandfather’s not in the study room,” Mrs Miller said in a cold tone.

Elodie turned towards Elder Miller’s bedroom, but after a few seconds of careful thought, she suddenly turned to Mrs Miller and said, “Over the years, you have indeed been good to us. But, this does not change the fact that you stole someone’s husband and secretly gave birth to Emma. You are shameless and your daughter isn’t any better.”

“Bertha, did you think your daughter is aloof from the world? In actual fact, she is the sneakiest person I know. She tricked grandfather into writing in his will that he would hand the entire Miller Family business to her.”

“Let me tell you. As long as I am here, I will not let the two of you live in peace – even if Emma is married!”

At first, Mrs Miller was a little angry. But after hearing Elodie’s words, she smiled in relief and sneered. Because deep down, she knew that Emma would never do something tricky in secret.

So, that meant, in Elder Miller’s heart, Emma was still the only hope for the family.
