“Grandfather, don’t you think that Sister Three’s decision is quite a pity?” Herman asked as he looked at the entertainment news. “Sister Three has never been this fragile. Why did she suddenly make this decision?”
“Your brother-in-law will protect your Sister Three. You should just focus on yourself. Have you found yourself a girlfriend recently?” Elder Miller asked.
Herman smiled; silently admitting.
“When will you bring her home to meet me?” Elder Miller continued to ask.
“Hey, grandfather, now that Sister Three isn’t a celebrity, does that mean she can come to Miller Corps. and take on the role of CEO? What do you think?” Herman deliberately changed the subject.
Elder Miller knew his intent and chuckled, “Since you’re in the entertainment industry now, you don’t need to worry about the family business. I have my plans.”
The two men sat in the living room chatting and watching television. However, they did not notice that not too far away Elodie was watching them from behind a column with a dark exp**ssion…
She wanted to destroy Emma. But, she never expected that Emma would rather retreat from the entertainment industry than be slandered by others.
Did Elodie just shoot herself in the foot? She intially thought that if she ruined Emma’s reputation and career, Emma would suffer a setback. Instead, she created the risk of Emma returning to the household.
If Emma really took on the role of CEO then all the endurance she put up with so far, would go to waste.
She could not let this happen.
So, Elodie returned to her bedroom and made a phone call after locking her door, “Send Bertha’s schedule to me. If we don’t make a move soon, Emma will end up returning. I need to grab onto the right timing to seize control of the company.”
The person on the other end agreed respectfully before hanging up the phone.
Of course, the only reason why Elodie was willing to put up with being an insignificant member of staff for so long, was because she had a plan brewing. Firstly, she blamed Bertha’s secretary for almost causing her to have a miscarriage and used it as an excuse to remove her from Bertha’s side. Afterwards, she cooerced the new secretary to side with her. All the while, Bertha appeared oblivious to her scheming.
This time, Elodie was quite desperate. She hated Emma too much.
10 minutes later, Elodie received an email. The email indicated that Bertha would be going to Switzerland in a few days.
Switzerland…
“Since she’s going away, then she shouldn’t come back,” Elodie thought.
…
Bertha was indeed heading to Switzerland, but it didn’t mean that her and Elder Miller were oblivious to Elodie’s every move. They even knew that Bertha’s current secretary was betraying them…
It didn’t take long before Bertha was notified by one of her company confidants that her secretary and Elodie may be up to something and that she should be careful.
Bertha immediately thought about her trip to Switzerland. Even though she wasn’t 100 percent certain that something would go wrong, she still decided to be cautious.
Initially, she was supposed to travel on her own. But, since her secretary loved sharing her every move, she decided to bring her along…
After Bertha settled on a plan, she gave Emma a phone call, “Elodie seems to be making a move. For her to make a move after enduring for so long, it must be because you announced your retreat from filming. She is worried that her position is at risk.”
“I guess she’s right,” Emma smirked. “Mom, make good use of this opportunity to destroy her once and for all.”
“In that case, we need to put on a dazzling show,” Bertha replied after careful thought.
“I’ll come back to Miller Corps.,” Emma suggested straightforwardly. “Since she keeps anticipating it, let’s not disappoint her.”
“What about your child?”
“Don’t worry, I have my ways,” Emma reassured. Her grandfather had already given up on forcing her to take over the family business. But, if she allowed Elodie to continue causing trouble and her mother couldn’t do anything about it, then she had no choice but to personally deal with it herself.
Eric watched as Emma finished talking on the phone and placed a blanket on her body. He then wr*pped her in a warm hug, “The weather is getting cold. You better stay in bed at all times and rest.”
“But, you heard what I just said…”
“Didn’t you say you’d take good care of our child?”
“I’m not going to work full time, there are just a few occassions where my attendance is necessary. It won’t have too much of an effect on me. I’m simply afraid that if Elodie continues to act recklessly, mom and grandfather might get hurt.”
Eric was a little dumbfounded. After a little while, he replied, “You must have heard my conversation with Luke. The person that paid people to slander you was Elodie. She must have been secretly gathering people and developing relationsh*ps for quite some time.”
“It’s because I know that she is starting to act ruthlessly that I need to destroy her before she gets any worse.”
“I didn’t have enough time before, but I can now take care of you and our child as well as help mom.”
“Don’t tire yourself,” Eric had one simple request because he was well aware that Emma’s decision was right.
Although Bertha could supp**ss Elodie, she couldn’t stop her mind from endlessly scheming.
“Don’t worry. When have I ever disappointed you?” Emma hooked her arm around Eric’s neck and placed a k**s on his mesmerizing l*ps.
Meanwhile, after returning to Kaleidoscope, Herman originally wanted to tell Jemma that that his grandfather wanted to meet her, but…
…just as he pushed open the door, he heard Jemma talking to a man.
“Why are you here?”
“Are you afraid that your little lover will hear us?” the man naturally revealed a sly smile. “Did you really think you could marry into a rich family? Don’t forget you are still my woman. You once used every method you could to pursue me. Now you want to give up on our years of love because of your rich lover?”
“Don’t make things up,” Jemma immediately responded.
“Fine. I’ll be serious. I can’t wait to see the exp**ssion on your little lover’s face after he sees the real you.” After speaking, the man turned to leave. Herman quickly took a few steps back and pretended that he hadn’t heard a thing and had just arrived.
After bidding the man farewell, Jemma looked at Herman awkwardly and explained, “That was my classmate. He dropped by to catch up.”
Herman nodded and watched as the man disappeared into the distance. The dangerous looking man also possessed an attractive face. How could he possibly be just a classmate?
Herman did not believe her, but he had no evidence, so he had no choice but to endure for now. Of course, the good news he was originally going to share, had now been swallowed into depths of his stomach…
“Didn’t you say on the phone earlier that you had good news to tell me?” Jemma asked as she drew his attention back to her.
“I am releasing a new album,” Herman replied with a smile.
“I knew our Lafayette would become more and more famous.”
Herman tried his best to maintain his smile, but as time passed, he found it harder and harder to conceal his true feelings. Just as he almost buckled, Flossie suddenly appeared behind them and said in a professional manner, “Lafayette, Fletcher wants to see us in his office.”
