Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel
The man supporting Eilene was a famous philanthropist. However, everyone knew that his background wasn’t completely clean. It turned out, Emma’s invite to the ‘Originality’ Charity Event, was planned by this man. Whether Emma was pregnant, one look would be enough to determine.
Ever since the nomination list for the Sky Honor Awards was released, Eilene diligently studied the films of her competitors.
The other three competitors progressed through the industry like textbook examples, but Emma was different. She flew past all obstacles and gained a popularity that still existed even though she had retreated.
Emma’s capabilities; Emma’s methods; everything about Emma gave off a sense of danger.
So, Eilene was a little scared as her desire to win became heightened.
“Eilene, we’ve confirmed that Emma will be attending,” Eilene’s manager gave her a phone call to notify her.
“That’s good…”
“But, I heard that Mr. Roborts will also be accompanying her,” her manager emphasized. “Should we think of a way to distract him?”
“If you have an idea, then go do it.”
Eilene had heard that Eric doted on his wife, but she didn’t believe it. After all, she had never witnessed it in person and she didn’t believe that genuine love still existed. Especially within the entertainment industry; wasn’t everyone just playing a game with their bodies and seeking benefits?
“If Kaleidoscope is at risk of going bankrupt, I refuse to believe that Eric will continue to stay by Emma’s side.”
Eilene needed a chance to prevent Emma from winning the award. If Eric was to come along, then he’d get in the way.
As soon as the manager heard this, she immediately made arrangements. But, was Kaleidoscope so easy to shake up? Especially for someone as insignificant as Eilene’s manager?
Eilene grew up in rough conditions and had followed the gangs for many years. When it came to underhandedness, she knew every trick in the book. Over the years, she had learned a lot in secret, including how to anaesthetize a person and how to make people put their guard down.
So, it wasn’t like she had never seen a smart person before. But, she refused to believe, just because they were smart, they’d be able to escape her trap.
Her motive this time was simple…she was either going to force Emma to withdraw her nomination…or she was going to make Emma lose her child. Since Emma had made things difficult for her, she wasn’t going to make things easy for Emma either.
If someone dared to compete with her, they would not end up well.
To her, miscarriage was a normal occurrence. Perhaps, the conditions in which she grew up in, had given her this uncaring attitude towards life.
Regardless, the main focus at hand for Eilene, was to find a way to lure Emma to her…
…
To prevent themselves from being discovered, Eric and Emma disguised themselves and decided to depart New York for The Netherlands one day in advance. After arriving, the couple quickly settled into their hotel room. Of course, under Eric’s careful protection, Emma did not get bothered by anyone at all. But, he had no idea that danger was slowly closing in.
Meanwhile, over at the Xylander Household, Turquoise was already celebrating her victory.
Even if Emma didn’t get defeated, she would at least be able to witness a good fight.
Did Emma want an award? No way!
Quenlyn noticed Turquoise humming happily to herself and glared at her with disgust. It was obvious that she had done something sinister and was celebrating by herself.
Just as Turquoise stood up to leave the living room, she noticed Quenlyn standing behind her, “What? You can’t bear to see me happy?”
Quenlyn did not say a word as she stared calmly at Turquoise.
“You just wait, there’s a good show on its way…Emma’s out of luck!”
Out of luck!
If she was referring to someone else, Quenlyn may have believed her, but she was talking about Emma who had pulled through multiple battles and handled so many obstacles with ease. So, Quenlyn couldn’t help but wonder who was truly out of luck.
She already had the trump card in her hands and was merely waiting for her enemy to reveal their hand first.
…
The ‘Originality’ Charity Event was to be held at the Emperor Hotel in The Netherlands. Emma and Eric had already checked in ahead of time, but they did not manage to avoid the preparations that Eilene had made at the hotel; she had already been waiting for Emma’s arrival.
Emma was indeed pregnant. Even though she concealed it well at the beginning, now that she was 6 months pregnant, it was no longer so easy to cover up.
Seeing this, Eilene’s first imp**ssion of Emma was that she was a difficult opponent.
Of course, no one in the industry was easy to deal with. Especially as their status got higher, their EQ and versatility was bound to be high too. And Emma was a special example.
Everyone knew that she made a clear distinction bet**en love and hate, yet some people still decided to provoke her. This was because, for people like Eilene, they did not believe that true friendships existed in the world, especially not in the entertainment industry…
But, although Eilene disliked Emma, she had never looked down on her. After all, her history and background was even less imp**ssive than Emma’s.
So, now that her enemy had arrived, was it time for her to deliver the gift that she had prepared?
It seemed, she had people watching Emma round-the-clock. So, as soon as Eric stepped out of the room, a hotel staff immediately rang Emma’s doorbell, “Madam, I have a gift for you. The lady that asked me to bring this to you, specifically instructed that you not show this to your husband.”
The hotel staff gave a slight smile as he finished. After leaving behind a letter, he quickly turned and left. Emma picked up the letter and noticed underneath her name were a few lines of text: “If you want me to keep your secret, then tear up this letter after you finish reading it”.
Emma quickly figured that the person that wanted to play with her, wasn’t a professional. The fact that they delivered the letter as soon as Eric left, immediately revealed to her that they were spying on her.
Regardless, what secret did she have that couldn’t be revealed to others?
The enemy seemed to think they were smarter than they really were.
Even so, Emma still opened the letter after a thorough examination of the envelope and its contents.
As soon as she opened it, it simply read, “Meet me 7pm tonight at The Queen’s Ballroom, I will be sitting beside the window waiting for you.”
There was no name on the letter, so it was hard to guess who it came from, but Emma found it quite amusing.
A moment later, Eric returned to the room to find an amused smile on Emma’s face. So he also smiled and asked, “What are you looking at? I haven’t seen that look on your face for a while.”
Emma directly handed the letter to him.
After taking a quick look, Eric threw the letter aside, “Why are people’s methods becoming less and less creative?”
Emma wr*pped her arms around Eric and chuckled, “Their methods are indeed lousy, but it still managed to attract your attention, didn’t it? Since, they want to play a game with me, then let’s play.”
“I’m just afraid…”
“Eric…don’t worry. Both our baby and I aren’t made of paper; we are strong!”
Normally, during situations like this, Eric would simply stare at Emma helplessly. But, even though he knew that the enemy was at a disadvantage, Emma was 6 months pregnant. So, as her husband, he wished he could stand in front of her and shield her from all forms of attack. How could he not be worried about her?
However, Eric was always the one to give up in the end.
7pm, Emma arrived at the ballroom right on time. As she walked in, she realized her enemy had wasted a lot of energy just to see her.
The ballroom was well guarded with bodyguards every few steps. Seeing this, Emma began to develop a strong sense of danger.
What did this person have planned?
Eilene sensed a change in the exp**ssions around her, so she turned around and followed their gaze. As soon as she spotted Emma standing in the doorway, she stood up and pulled out a chair for her. She was obviously a woman, yet she elegantly pulled off a gentlemanly gesture. This was perhaps the only aspect about her that Emma still liked.
So, the person was none other than Eilene!
