“Of course I know it hasn’t ended,” Elder Miller sighed as he put down his walking stick. “But, I also understand why Emma did what she did. Miller Corps has long needed a clean out.”
“What should we do now?”
“Apart from comforting her, what else can I do?” Elder Miller said before he went into his bedroom. After changing into a set of comfortable clothes, he walked over and entered Elodie’s room.
However, Elodie was dangerously standing on the edge of the balcony.
“Elodie, come here, what are you trying to do?”
“Grandfather, I’m divorced now and have no family. On top of that, when I went into the office, I was kicked out. What reason do I have to continue living? I’ve been kicked out by my own sister, can’t she show mercy based on the fact that we are related?”
Elder Miller sneered inside; it wasn’t like Elodie showed mercy when she schemed against Emma.
“Tell me, what do you want then?” Elder Miller didn’t want to go around in circles with her. After all, he was bound to be put in a difficult situation in the end.
“I want to get my split of the family assets. I want my shares and everything I deserve from having worked so hard over the years…”
She wanted to split the assets…
She wanted to walk away with a piece of the Miller Family right now…
It seemed, she was dreaming about branching off and starting her own company.
“Come over here for now. Let’s have a good chat,” Elder Miller took the opportunity to grab onto Elodie’s hand and pulled her to safety. “I know you must think that Emma acted too ruthlessly. But tell me Elodie, don’t you think you’ve also done something unfair to Emma? Logically speaking, she would never go this far.”
Lying was already embedded in Elodie’s genes. How could she possibly tell the truth?
“Grandfather, although Emma and I have been at odds for many years, I’m not the type of person to scheme against others behind their backs.”
“How about this, let’s talk about it after the Product Launch is over, OK?” Elder Miller comforted. “You will need to endure it in the meantime.”
“Grandfather, it’s not that I am trying to ask for too much, but the Miller Family no longer has a place for me.”
“I understand. Hurry and get some rest. Don’t forget, you are still a part of the Miller Family, so you also need to attend the Product Launch.”
“Grandfather, am I really still a part of the Miller Family?”
After saying these words, Elodie returned to her bed and covered herself with her blanket.
While Elder Miller thought to himself: they only considered the child a part of the Miller Family…
Right now, the only bargaining chip that Elodie had was her shares and her child. She had already been pushed into a dead end by Emma.
…
Late at night, just around the corner from the Miller Family Household, Elodie boarded a slightly hidden black car, “There are cameras everywhere. What would you do if we get caught?”
“How did Elder Miller respond to you?” Shayan asked as he took a puff from his cigarette.
“On the surface, he appears to be treating me well. But, in reality, he is obviously siding with Emma.” Elodie went from someone that never admitted defeat to a pool of tears.
“You’ve already gotten to this point. What’s the point of crying now?” Shayan asked.
“I can’t think of what else I can do…”
“How could you not think of anything? You still have your shares and your child. It’s apparent that the old man is still cautious when it comes to your child.”
“So what? Emma has forced me into a dead end and I have nowhere to go…”
Shayan suddenly turned around and looked at Elodie. Through the thin lens of his glasses, his diamond-like eyes sparkled with an icy coldness.
“The biggest difference bet**en you and Emma is, Emma likes to act weak while concealing her real abilities; she always analyzes her surroundings quietly before she grabs onto the right time to strike and succeed in one shot.”
“You, on the other hand, you can’t contain your true feelings!”
This was something that Elodie was well aware of, but she didn’t like to admit. Over the years, she had tried so hard to be better than Emma, but never once did she succeed.
At this moment, Shayan suddenly fell quiet as he pulled out another cigarette from his pocket and lit it. The slight glow of scarlet was eye-catching and eerie against the darkness.
“So, you don’t have any other ideas at the moment?”
“Take care of your child and wait patiently for the right time. I will teach you a few things during this time.”
“Emma is endlessly changing. There is no reason for you to remain in the same spot.”
“You’re also attending Miller Corps’ Annual Product Launch, right? Don’t let Emma look down on you again…”
…
To reduce her exposure in front of the public, Emma actually had no intention to attend the Product Launch.
But, thinking about the troublemaking Elodie, she decided she may still make an appearance sitting amongst the guests without anyone knowing.
This time, Elodie endured for quite some time without using her child as a bargaining chip. It seemed, she had not reached her limit yet.
But, suddenly the thought of what Eric previously said, suddenly popped up in Emma’s mind.
Eric once said that he wished to see Elodie being separated from her child and the exp**ssion on her face.
So, at this moment, she too wanted to see her exp**ssion.
“Recently, I haven’t had to call you to know what you are up to. Please…are you trying to be known by everyone?”
It was rare for Lisa to visit Emma at Hyatt Regency. And just like she said, whenever she wanted to know anything about Emma, it was as easy as opening up a newspaper.
Emma smiled but did not say a word.
“Have you actually decided to take over Miller Corps and no longer act?’
“Of course not…” Emma said with a deeper meaning..
Lisa paused for a moment before she smiled and said, “I heard you’ve kicked Elodie out of Miller Corps…”
“Yep, this was the entire motive for why I joined the company.”
“Woah, black belly, so black belly! You’re almost a mother, can’t you use gentler methods?”
With the mention of becoming a mother, Emma subconsciously looked at Lisa’s stomach. She knew deep down that Lisa’s heart hurt every time she saw her.
“I’m fine, you don’t need to worry,” Lisa understood what Emma was thinking as she shrugged her shoulders. “As long as Luke is on my side, then I have the strength to carry on.”
“Both of you are still young.”
“Emma, you wouldn’t understand,” Lisa suddenly took a deep breath. “It’s not that Luke’s parents don’t treat me well. In fact, they treat me too well. With so many eyes on me, I can’t help but feel p**ssured.”
“Has Luke done a medical examination?” Emma suddenly asked.
“Yes he has and the doctor said he’s fine.”
“Then it must mean your time hasn’t arrived…”
“Maybe,” Lisa nodded her head as she reminded herself not to show Luke her dull exp**ssion. “So, will you be attending the Annual Product Launch?”
Emma shook her head, “I don’t need to.”
“You’re going to allow Elodie to take control of the event?”
In reality, Emma knew that the person that was going to cause trouble at the event wasn’t Elodie, but someone else.
