“If that had actually happened, how would you have made up for my child? By giving me your life?”
The woman was truly frightened by Emma. As her eyes filled with tears, she did not say another word.
“I don’t want to cause trouble. But, if you bully me, who else could I blame?”
“I heard you just got married. I wonder what your husband would think when he finds out how evil you are…”
“I’ve already found someone to contact him.”
After hearing Emma say this, the woman completely fell apart. She directly knelt on the ground with her eyes wide in shock.
Emma was much too frightening. If Eric suffocated others with his presence…Emma destroyed them mentally.
She did not hurt others physically, but she grasped onto their weaknesses and ruthlessly drilled into their hearts.
Nothing compared to losing the most important thing in one’s life…
…because, that made one lose their reason for living.
…
The incident this time also involved a few minor people with small roles. Eric did not intend to see every single one them, so he told Luke to deal with them the way that Emma had already demonstrated. On the surface, she didn’t seem to be hurting anyone, but in reality, she had completely destroyed them.
After everything was over, Eric gently touched Emma’s stomach, “I know you haven’t been fully avenged. The remaining two people will be delivered to you soon.”
Emma knew who Eric was referring to, but she shook her head, “The Pembroke Family are easy to deal with, but we will leave Elodie for someone else to handle.”
She believed, after what happened, if Elder Miller had not woken up, he did not deserve to be a family elder.
A moment later, Bertha helped Elder Miller into the conference room. Everyone looked each other in the eyes as Bertha slowly placed her focus on Emma’s stomach, “Is the baby fine?”
“Yes, it’s fine.”
Elder Miller had been completely distracted by his own anger. So, only now did he realize that Emma was pregnant.
All of a sudden, he was ecstatic.
“That’s right! Emma is pregnant, she’s pregnant…”
“Grandfather…”
“Yes, I know. Leave Elodie’s matter with me,” Elder Miller could already predict what Emma wanted to say, so he directly cut in. “Don’t worry, grandfather won’t show mercy this time. Nor will I allow her to play any more tricks. However, I will make sure she leaves behind the child.”
Emma understood. Rather than exposing Elodie right now, it was better for everyone to knowingly watch her put on an act. So that when the truth finally got revealed, it would have an extra impact. At that time, Elodie would no longer think that she outsmarted everyone.
Realizing that everyone knew she was acting all along would make her life a living hell.
“How far along is the child? When is the predicted date of labor?”
Seeing Elder Miller in a good mood, Emma also found her mood lighten. However, she did not forget to remind the old man, “Grandfather, I hope you can keep my pregnancy a secret for now. You especially need to keep it a secret from Elodie. At the moment, she thinks that my uterus has been removed. I don’t want her to spend all day plotting against my child and I.”
“I understand,” Elder Miller nodded. However, the mix of emotions made him feel slightly unsettled.
Ultimately, the entire incident smoothly came to an end. In order to get Emma back on set in time, Eric did not stick around and chat. As for Elder Miller, he did not want Elodie to find out that he had met with Emma, so he swiftly returned home. However, just before he left, Eric handed him a box, “This box contains all the evidence you need against Elodie.”
Elder Miller did not say another word. He simply nodded his head, “Take good care of my granddaughter.”
“Of course, I love her more than you do,” Eric replied briefly before leaving Bridge Side Hospital.
Elder Miller was well aware that he couldn’t compare to Eric, so all the way home, he sighed to Bertha, “How did the Miller Family create such a monster?”
“Father, to be safe, from now on, if Elodie touches your medicine or anything, let me double check it. After all, for the sake of securing power, she could do anything…”
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. I can’t be tricked that easily,” Elder Miller growled. “If she dares to play her tricks on me, I will break her legs on the spot.”
Bertha wasn’t very hopeful because she already felt that Elodie was incurable.
This time, the Miller Family were going to put on a good show…
…
While all this was happening, Eric escorted Emma back to the set. Of course, even though her family now knew of her pregnancy, she couldn’t just go around telling everyone about it. After all, it wasn’t safe enough to do so yet, nor was it a big enough blow on Elodie if she revealed it too early.
Moreover, the couple had previously agreed that they’d wait until ‘The Lost Relative’ finished filming anyway.
“Now that grandfather and mom have their eye on Elodie over at the Miller Household, you don’t need to worry about her for a while.”
“I’m not feeling hopeful…” Emma shook her head worriedly. “However, I trust that grandfather won’t go easy on her this time.”
“You don’t need to worry about the Miller Family. Just focus on filming and try to complete it as soon as possible.”
Thinking about the scene that just played out at Bridge Side Hospital, Emma knew that it wasn’t Eric’s style to let them off easily. As his wife, she was well aware of his degree of black-bellyness.
“OK…”
“Everytime I think about how close you got to getting hurt, I feel a little scared…”
“Hubby, are you blaming yourself?” Emma hooked her arms around Eric’s neck. “Don’t forget, you’ve saved me every time. And this time, you protected both our child and I.”
“I’ve always trusted you. No matter when and what you do, I will always trust you.”
After returning home, Elder Miller sat alone in his study room for quite some time holding onto the black box that Eric had given him. After hesitating for a while, he ended up locking the box in his safe. He knew that if he was to look at the contents of the box, he would not be able to endure another second around Elodie.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. It was Elodie, “Grandfather, may I come in?”
