Perhaps, Mother Pembroke would never find out who tipped off the investigation. Just like she would never find out that people knew how she had taught Elodie to remove Emma’s uterus.
Were they going to get past this obstacle?
There was no point thinking about it; it was a definite no.
Who told them to hurt Eric’s wife and child?
“What should I do now then?”
“Elodie, the Pembroke Family is currently undergoing a crisis. Think of a way to get some money from the Miller Family,” Mother Pembroke suddenly requested. “I promise, after this issue is resolved, I will help you achieve your dream.”
“Mom, I have no access to the financial department,” Elodie rejected carefefully.
“Then we will have to be destroyed together!” Mother Pembroke yelled in a cruel manner.
“If you want to die, then die. Why are you dragging me down with you?” Elodie’s eyes turned red as she hung up the phone. After lowering her head and calming herself down, she endured the embarrassment and walked out of the office.
As long as Emma wasn’t sitting on the top spot, Elodie did not consider herself truly defeated. There was always a way.
For example, Miller Corps’ annual product launch was just around the corner. That would be her chance.
She refused to believe that she would never sit on the top spot of Miller Corps.

In the past few days, Kaleidoscope had been prioritizing the promotion of ‘W.H.’. Although they had already released a 10 second trailer in the past, this time, they released 3 more versions, each one lasting 30 seconds.
This time, no matter if it was the cast or the theme of the film, everything met the expectations of the curious audience. Because of what she had achieved from ‘Stupid’ with her stunning performance, the audience had increased expectations for actors and felt they could trust her.
“I’ve already watched the trailer for ‘Stupid’ over 20 times. I hope the actual film will be released soon.”
“Seeing Emma and Craig acting together, makes me feel like I am watching a European or American blockbuster. This is because neither of them are idol actors. They become whatever character they are acting; it’s so gratifying. I’m definitely going to watch this in the theatre three times!”
“I hope that ‘W.H.’ will be able to set a new benchmark for disaster films. I also hope that Emma can return to filming as soon as possible.”
The scene of Emma’s retreat was still etched into everyone’s memories. So, the release of ‘W.H.’ ignited the passion of film fans.
“Have the people that slandered Emma given their apologies yet?”
“They must have been crazy to force such a great actress to retreat. Just because they aren’t capable, they teamed up against her. How disgusting!”
“Ever since Emma announced her retreat, I’ve turned into an anti-fan of every name that was on the list that was released. I would never be a fan of a bunch of disgusting people.”
In the end, ‘W.H.’ was confirmed for December 6th. A situation like this where a film was a hit even before its release was not unheard of. For example, many Hollywood films were often sold out on opening night, but ‘W.H.’ was actually comparable.
Under these circumstances, the distribution of the film did not need to take calculated steps like ‘Stupid’. After all, even without Emma, Craig was enough to guarantee ticket sales.
It was because of this situation that Elodie developed a misconception: she believed that Emma still had her entire focus on the entertainment industry and had no interest in Miller Corps.
But, the more famous Emma got, the more envious Elodie became.
They were both from the Miller Family, but why did Emma receive so much love and adoration?
This only made Elodie even more ruthless. At this time, Elodie received another invite from the 30-something-year-old shareholder who had previously offered her help. She thought the man was still mocking and t**sing her. But, when the man asked if she wanted to win, her heart followed these words into the abyss, led by her desires…
So, she accepted the invite.
…
3pm. Kaleidoscope’s CEO’s office. Eric was working on some business matters while Luke stood beside him reporting about the Pembroke Family, “News about the Pembroke Family being investigated has been released. They shouldn’t be able to last until the end of this month.”
“I want to see them go bankrupt,” Eric sneered.
“Don’t worry, President,” Luke guaranteed, gesturing for Eric to relax. “The only problem is, if the Pembroke Family goes bankrupt, the Miller Family may be implicated.”
“Do you think my wife is a pushover?”
Luke looked into Eric’s eyes and laughed. He was right. With Emma around, what issue couldn’t be resolved? Not to mention, the President was supporting Emma from behind. The couple were both so ruthless that no one could provoke them.
“By the way, in regards to the Sky Honor Awards, should I nominate the Madam for Best Supporting Actress in ‘Stupid’ or Best Newcomer in ‘W.H.’?”
“Do you still need to ask me this?” Eric asked as he lifted his head.
“I understand.”
Eric always placed Emma first. So, for the Sky Honor Awards nominations, he of course wanted to help her aim for the Best Newcomer Award. Although Emma’s performance in ‘Stupid’ was also spectacular, she was just a supporting character. So, even though it meant a lot to her, he hoped to help her achieve the best…
That night, it was cold and windy. Eric arrived home shivering from the cold to find Emma sitting inside the study room supporting her head with one hand as she sat in deep thought.
As soon as Eric came into sight, Emma looked pleasantly surprised. Her momentary look of reliance made Eric’s mood immediately lighten. This was the Emma that he would be happy to sacrifice his life for.
“You’re finally home.”
“What difficulty have you come across?” Eric immediately walked over and wr*pped his arms around her.
“I need to invite a selection of VIPs as special guests for the upcoming product launch. But, Miller Corps has been in operation for so many years and it has so many VIPs, I don’t know who to choose.”
“Are you afraid of offending people?” Eric smiled as he picked up the list of names and had a look. “Wifey, don’t be afraid. Rank them according to how much they have spent this year and pick the top 20. Not only will they be able to attend the product launch, they will also be amongst the first people to try the new perfumes.”
“That way, the lower ranked VIPs will try harder next year and spend more money,” Emma smiled. “I’ve definitely got a baby brain to not have thought of that.”
“Running a business has never been easy. Although you are very capable, you have no experience competing in the market. So, you see a lot of things only on the surface,” Eric comforted. “Don’t be afraid, I’m here. Let’s leave it at this and get some rest, OK?”
Emma wr*pped her arms around Eric’s neck and nodded her head, “I only listen to you.”
Eric revealed a warm smile and carried Emma into the bedroom. He then reconfirmed, “Are you ready to reveal your identity at the product launch?”
“No rush. The time isn’t right. I enjoy seeing Elodie think that her plans have succeeded. I haven’t played around with her enough yet.”
…
Late into the night, Elodie appeared in the corridor of a certain hotel. She covered herself tightly as she sneaked into Room #3436.
“You’re here…” the man was holding a glass of red wine as he turned and stared at her. “I knew you’d come to me sooner or later.”
“Can you really help me?” Elodie asked cautiously as she stood by the door.
