“It’s not that hard,” the man laughed before he put down his wine glass, walked over to Elodie and pulled her into his arms. “The Pembroke Family is in a complete mess. You must break all ties with them. This includes…getting rid of the child.”
“Why should I trust you?” Elodie didn’t want to take the gamble. This man was so dangerous that he had already implicated her family from the start.
“Come, Elodie. Don’t tell me that you don’t know you are currently sitting in the middle of another person’s scheme? The Pembroke Family are currently on the brink of bankruptcy. As soon as you have control of Miller Corps, did you think the Pembroke Family will treat you well? Not to mention…” the man smiled in a poised and dark manner; behind his glasses was a pair of charming eyes, “…the Miller Family also do not hold you in high esteem.”
“Why are you helping me?” this was the thing that Elodie was most curious about.
“Because I like to win!” After speaking, the man officially introduced himself, “My name is Shayan Benedict. I come from a jewelry background, my wife passed away one year ago and I have a 3-year-old son. Do your want to know more? I am new to the board of directors of Miller Corps.”
Elodie didn’t know why, she feared this man yet couldn’t help being attracted by his dangerous presence. He appeared so hard to predict.
At the same time, she also knew that Emma had gotten to where she was because she had Eric backing her.
Being with a capable man…
Wasn’t that better than having anything else?
“Listen to me. You need to first free yourself from the Pembroke Family. As for your child, you can temporarily keep it to use against Emma.”
Elodie was dumbfounded as she stared blankly at the man in front of her. However, the man simply looked at her with a smirk.
Elodie couldn’t help but take a few steps back. She originally wanted to escape, but for some reason, the man had a charm to him that made it difficult for her to leave…
It was like there was a voice in her head that was telling her to agree to his idea; if she agreed, she’d have hope…
“Elodie…”
It was from this point onwards that Elodie forgot what it meant to make a pact with the devil. When her ambition became driven by others, the level of evil made her completely lose herself.
…
News of the Pembroke Family being investigated, quickly spread all over New York. The day that the news caused an uproar would be the day that the Pembroke Family would be forced to announce their bankruptcy.
To save her husband and son, Mother Pembroke tried everything she could. But, the investigation was strict and there was no chance of leniency. She was struck quickly and powerfully, and in the blink of an eye, she found she had spent a large chunk of the family’s savings. In the end, her mind naturally wandered to Miller Corps, so she immediately went to look for Elodie.
Of course, Elodie agreed to meet with her, but the look in her eyes was very different from before.
“Elodie, here’s your chance to prove your loyalty. We let you into our family, so it’s time for you to come of use. Hurry and think of a way to get some money, it’s urgent.”
Elodie crossed her arms and laughed, “It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I really don’t have the means to. You saw it yourself mom, I haven’t received anything from the Miller Family.”
“You still have Miller Corps’ shares!”
“Mom, what are you trying to say?”
“Aren’t we family?” Mother Pembroke tried to play the family card. “Back when everyone abandoned you, the Pembroke Family took you into our embrace. How could you be so ungrateful?”
“The Pembroke Family didn’t abandon me because they were afraid people would say they were heartless. I’m sure you know how many mistresses your son has on the outside,” Elodie sneered. “Let’s stop putting on a facade. At a time like this, let’s be honest with each other.”
After speaking, Elodie pulled out a stack of photos and handed them to Mother Pembroke.
“What do you mean by this?”
“It’s simple. Get your son to sign our divorce papers and we can go our separate ways. Otherwise, I’m sure you can imagine what would happen if I revealed that your son was cheating on me while I was pregnant,” Elodie said coldly.
She had wanted to speak to Mother Pembroke like this a long time ago and to throw the photos in her face. And now, she finally got to do it. So her heart was filled with satisfaction.
Mother Pembroke did not look imp**ssed; she had never expected Elodie to do this…
Elodie had actually left herself a way out and used it when the Pembroke Family were at their worst.
“Elodie, you’ve well and truly shocked me…” Mother Pembroke laughed as she held onto the photos. “Great, this is great. You want to get a divorce? I’ll grant your wish, you shameless wench.”
After speaking, Mother Pembroke was about to stand up, but Elodie was a step ahead, “I once suffered so much under your hands. Now, it’s time to return it to you.”
“I wish the Pembroke Family an early destruction!”
“Don’t think that just because you shook us off, you would be able to win against Emma. To be honest, you and Emma are like the difference bet**en dirt and clouds. Emma got to where she is today because her methods are a million times better than yours. You just wait and see; you will have your pitiful moment.”
Elodie scoffed at Mother Pembroke before she turned and left the cafe. She then boarded the car prepared by Shayan.
Of course, Mother Pembroke couldn’t bear the humiliation. She had been alive for so long, yet she ended up being insulted by someone as cheap as Elodie.
However, she was still determined to save her husband and son. Just as she was about to leave the cafe, a man holding a briefcase suddenly stepped in front of her, “Hello, Mrs Pembroke.”
“I don’t think I know you.”
“But I know you and I can help you,” the young man said with a smile as he sat down. “Let’s have a chat. Perhaps I could give you some good news.”
“There are no good people in this world.”
“If you leave now, then you may lose your only chance to save your husband and son,” the man was calm as he held her back with his words.
Mother Pembroke was a little surprised, but eventually sat back down.
“I’ll buy the shares that you hold for Pembroke Corps in exchange for your husband and son’s freedom. You need to know that not everyone that has the money will have the ability to save your husband and son.”
Mother Pembroke lowered her head in deep thought, before she reconfirmed, “All I have to do is sell my shares to you?”
“Of course,” the young man smiled, “Everything will be written in a contract. You don’t need to worry.”
“OK then, I’ll do it. When will the issue be resolved?”
“You will definitely see your husband and son within 3 days,” the man packed away his documents and turned to leave. But, Mother Pembroke suddenly held him back.
“I have one last question: how do you know so much about my family?”
“I’ll be honest with you Mrs Pembroke. Did you offend someone without knowing?” the man turned around and smiled.
Mother Pembroke was dumbfounded because she had no idea.
“It appears you need a reminder…did you suggest for someone to remove someone else’s uterus?”
Hearing this, Mother Pembroke’s eyes grew big.
“So, everything that Elodie did…”
