The only issue was, the doctor in the film was quite frightening, just like Craig…
“You know, the only reason I live in seclusion is because I can’t be bothered to socialize. I’m not actually weird,” after quite some time, Craig suddenly explained. He then smiled as he ridiculed himself, “Who would have thought, the public would end up making me sound so mysterious to the point where you are so frightened of me.”
Xiner ran her fi**gers through her hair awkwardly.

Meanwhile, while no one was paying attention to entertainment news, without warning, the century-old Miller Family empire suddenly released some shocking news.
Late at night in the Miller Family home, Mrs Miller was tidying her belongings.
Seeing this, Mr. Miller asked curiously as he removed his white coat, “Why are you suddenly packing away all your jewelry?”
“Floyd, I’ve arranged to go away with some friends for a few days, if you need anything, give the housekeeper a call,” Mrs Miller replied as she put down the items in her hands.
“OK. I just finished doing a few big surgeries today. I’m feeling a little tired, so I’m going to go have a bath,” Mr. Miller gently hugged her by the shoulders and added, “Have fun.”
“I will,” Mrs Miller nodded as she held back her tears.
“I heard about what happened earlier today with Elodie. She’s still young, don’t mind her.”
She had heard these same words for the last 20 odd years and endured it until now. But, when her tolerance could not be exchanged for understanding and gratefulness, she realized, all along, she had merely been a joke in their eyes.
“Hurry and have a bath. You’ve worked hard all day,” Mrs Miller said as she pushed her husband into the bathroom.
After returning to her dressing table and sitting in front of the mirror, she discovered she had grown a few strands of white hair. It seemed, a person’s appearance was indeed easy to age…
No one noticed any abnormality with Mrs Miller except Herman. Early the next morning, he noticed her eyes were red and caringly asked, “Auntie, are you sick?”
“No, I’m fine. I got something in my eye yesterday and after I woke up this morning it had turned red. I’ll go see a doctor later,” Mrs Miller explained.
“As long as you’re OK.”
“By the way, I’ll be going away for a few days. Take care of your father while I’m gone.”
Herman nodded his head casually. Afterwards, he watched as Mrs Miller walked directly out the front door without turning back.
After leaving the Miller Family home, Mrs Miller headed straight for Kaleidoscope.
Although Emma said she didn’t want to see her mother, she still turned up at the office, nice and early, with Eric. Eric dealt with business while she looked through her script. But Eric could tell that Emma both hated and pitied her mother.
“President, Mrs Miller has arrived,” Luke knocked on the door and notified Eric with respect.
So Eric stood up and walked over to Emma, “Let’s go.”
Emma put down the script in her hands and entered the VIP room. Mrs Miller was already sitting on the sofa inside and looked a little worn out.
“Eric…Continue with your work, I’ll be fine.”
Since Emma did not want to acknowledge her mother, Eric wasn’t going to treat her as his mother-in-law either. Knowing that Emma didn’t want him to stay around and feel awkward, he simply nodded his head, turned around and left the room.
“Emma…”
“Why did you come looking for me?” Emma’s voice sounded distant and cold. But, Mrs Miller had long grown accustomed to this treatment, so she didn’t mind. Instead, she grabbed onto Emma’s hands and replied, “I was thinking about how you got married without any dowry, so I brought some for you. Now that you are married to Eric, I know you can get whatever you want. But, take this as a small token of my blessings for you. You can do whatever you want with it,” Mrs Miller forced her jewelry box into Emma’s hands. “By the way, how are your injuries?”
“They were just small scratches,” Emma replied bluntly.
“That’s good to hear. Elodie was too cruel.” As she spoke, Mrs Miller stretched out her hand to touch Emma’s face. But just as her hand got near, she pulled it back again, “OK, that’s enough. I got to see you like I wanted to. From now on, I hope the two of you will enjoy a happy life together. I’m going to leave now.”
Emma did not give a reaction because she could sense something was not right.
As a sensitive and detailed person, she could feel that Mrs Miller had an unexplainable carefree vibe throughout their meeting. It was like she had let go of everything…
“Emma, can I give you a hug?”
Emma did not respond, so Mrs Miller directly pounced onto her. After a quick hug, she turned and left.
Emma looked at the jewelry box on the table and felt a little uncomfortable. She had already spent so many years living like she had no mother, but she suddenly started wondering…if she was to ask her mother to leave the Miller Family and live with her instead, would she be willing?
However, on second thought, judging by the amount of time and effort her mother had put into the Miller Family, the answer was quite obvious.
Emma did not say a word as she watched Mrs Miller leave.
Afterwards, Eric re-entered the VIP room and wr*pped her in his embrace as he asked, “Why do you look upset?”
“I feel like something happened,” Emma replied as she looked into Eric’s eyes.
Eric nodded his head as he looked at her pale exp**ssion, “Your mother has contacted the media and booked a hall in a hotel for 3pm today.”
“What does she plan to do?” Emma suddenly felt overcome with fear.
Eric hugged her and gave her strength. As her husband, he could help her control the entertainment industry. But when it came to family, there was nothing he could do – yet, family was her biggest weakness.
“I think you should be asking what she plans to say…”
“Just a moment ago, when she handed me her jewelry box, I already felt something was off. Eric…”
“I’ll get someone to stop her,” Eric understood what she wanted to say. So he quickly gave Luke a call.
After calming down a little, Emma made a phone call to the Miller Family home. The person to pick up the phone was the housekeeper, “Third Miss, you’re asking for the madam? But, the madam already left for her holiday…”
“In that case, did anything happen within the Miller Family over the last few days?”
The housekeeper froze. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to tell her what Elodie had said to Mrs Miller the previous day, “Third Miss, the Big Miss may have had a bad day so she was a little disrespectful to the madam. She’s not usually this harsh.”
After hearing from the housekeeper, Emma hung up the phone and called Elodie. For the first time ever, she gave Elodie a phone call on behalf of her mother. Her voice was icy cold, “Elodie, if anything happens to my mother, I will take you down with her.”
“You’ve crossed my bottom line…”
“I am taking everything the Miller Family owns and I will become the successor of the family business.”
Elodie’s exp**ssion darkened as she became interested in Emma’s provocation, “Your mother has always been like a pet dog to the family. What? You’ve never cared before. Do you finally feel a bit of heart ache?”
“At home, she’s someone that can be hit and yelled at whenever we want. Is this the first time you’ve realized this?”
Even though she talked big, Elodie’s voice was a little shaky. This was because she still lacked confidence.
After all, she was bullying someone. If Elder Miller found out and Emma fueled the fire, Elder Miller might actually strip her of her status.
But, she couldn’t possibly admit defeat in front of Emma, even if it was just a few provoking words.
