Elodie really wanted to know why her grandfather treated her this way. So, she immediately pulled out her phone and gave Elder Miller a phone call. But, his phone was already switched off.
“He went to Switzerland?” Elodie thought, “Does he still think that he can find Bertha?”
…
In order to play along with the act, Elder Miller was currently in Hyatt Regency. This was his first time in Eric and Emma’s home, so he couldn’t help but look around. He could feel that, although the villa only housed two people, it was filled with warmth and love.
“I just received a phone call from Secretary Quattroen. Everything went well,” Emma said to Elder Miller and Bertha as she put down her phone.
“Emma, you should minimize your phone usage. It emits radio waves that are bad for your baby,” Bertha’s heart ached as she took the phone from Emma’s hand.
“Hmmph, since that woman didn’t succeed today, she will definitely have another plan up her sleeves. There’s no way she will give up this easily,” Elder Miller now referred to Elodie as ‘that woman’ and no longer considered her as his granddaughter.
“Regardless of what she has planned, she can never escape the palm of Emma’s hand,” Bertha sneered. “If she was a stranger, we would have dealt with her already. Unfortunately, she is related to you by blood.”
“The humiliation today, was just the start.” Emma had her head down indifferently as she looked at the information in her hands, but, her words had a deadly and deep meaning to it.
It was just the start…
Elodie wanted to control her uterus, so she was going to mess up Elodie’s entire life.
Let’s see who was better at playing games.
“Over the next few days, grandfather and mom should go out and enjoy yourselves. I will handle Elodie.”
“Don’t be too reckless. Eric will be hurt if you do.”
Emma eventually lifted her head and nodded, “I know better than anyone.”
“Doesn’t Herman have a special fan club concert coming up? Do you have access to tickets? We want to go and have a listen…” It was rare for Elder Miller to have free time like this, so he wanted to try and mingle with the young people. He didn’t know when it started, but the embarrassing entertainment professions that he always thought were filled with difficulty, suddenly made him feel proud after seeing the love that his grandchildren received.
“I want to go too.”
“OK,” Emma agreed before she gave Herman a phone call, “Mom and grandfather want to attend your fan club concert. I’ll leave it with you to handle.”
“Errr…I’ll get Flossie to arrange VIP tickets for them. But, can grandfather’s heart handle the loud noise?”
“Don’t underestimate your grandfather,” Emma couldn’t help but smile.
“Sis, ‘W.H’ has announced it’s official release. I’ve seen the trailer and it looks amazing. I really hope that you can eventually return to the film industry.”
This time, Emma did not respond. She simply hung up the phone.
“Emma knows what she is doing, don’t worry too much,” Flossie said as she stood behind Herman. “Right now, your mission it to prepare well for your concert.”
“Also, I heard that Jemma’s court hearing will be held soon.”
“Congratulations to her then.”
After speaking, Herman did not hear a response from behind him, so out of curiosity, he turned around to find Flossie leaning against the wall, holding her head in pain.
“What’s wrong?”
“I must be too tired lately,” Flossie replied. “I should be fine after I go home and get some sleep.”
“Do you think you’re a robot? I know you want to be like my sister, but she would never risk her life for the sake of work. She loves herself more than anyone. If you want to be like her, you need to first learn how to take care of yourself.” After speaking, Herman lifted Flossie horizontally in his arms and placed her on his bed, “Sleep here. If anything happens, I will be here to take care of you.”
“But…”
“No buts. Flossie, during my most difficult time, you were the only one by my side. You were willing to give up everything for me. So, I will never abandon you.”
Flossie was a little surprised. But, she did not say another word as she peacefully closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.
Herman watched as Flossie slept. He suddenly wondered to himself, why did this woman always have to be so tough and unwilling to admit defeat?
Not only was she stubborn, she also insisted on putting others before herself.
How silly.
…
Meanwhile, after Elodie’s plan failed, the entire Miller Corps started treating her like a joke. No matter where she went, people would point and laugh at her.
“I thought, after being kicked out once, she would learn from her mistakes and change. Who would have expected that she’d still be obsessed with fighting for power.”
“This incident with Switzerland is enough for us to laugh about for an entire year.”
“Haha, it’s much too funny. Did she actually think that they delivered themselves into her hands? Why is the Big Miss becoming more and more of an idiot? Has her pregnancy gone to her head?”
After hearing these discussions about her, Elodie clenched her hands into fists. She had never suffered such humiliation and had never been treated like a joke by everyone at Miller Corps.
Did her grandfather pretend to care about her?
Elodie once again picked up her phone and tried to call Elder Miller. This time, the phone was on and she actually got through.
“Grandfather…”
“Oh, Elodie? What’s wrong?” Elder Miller asked, even though he knew what was happening.
“Why did you hand Miller Corps over to another person? Have I not worked hard enough?” Elodie asked. “I know that I once hurt you, but I’ve changed now. Why won’t you give me a chance?”
Changed?
Changed and gotten worse?
“Elodie, grandfather is currently in Switzerland and can’t quite hear what you’re saying. Let’s talk when I get back.”
“Grandfather…”
Elodie had nowhere to vent to, so she ended up calling the Pembroke household, “Mom, I wasn’t given the position of Acting CEO at the board meeting.”
“What happened?” Mother Pembroke yelled angrily. “I did so much and paved an entire path for you, how did you fail? I was depending on you to give us money to save the Pembroke Family.”
“What happened with the Pembroke Family?” Elodie immediately realized there was more to Mother Pembroke’s words.
“It’s still the same issue as before. Both your husband and mine are currently under investigation and I’m not sure if they will get past this obstacle. Everything was going fine until they were suddenly exposed for shipping prohibited items.”
