As a result, Wren did not hold back. She even hired a private investigator in hopes of beating Eric to the search. Of course, she got what she wished for. The culprit turned out to be a friend of the 3rd person that Eric dealt with.
This woman was partially involved in the entertainment industry.
Of course, Wren was careful. She couldn’t possibly let anyone know about the schemes she was partaking in behind Emma’s back. So, after she received the woman’s phone number, she hesitated for a while before making a phone call.
At first, no one picked up. When it finally connected and the woman learned of Wren’s motive, she immediately scoffed, “Actually, my friend told me about this. She previously played a small role in ‘W.H.’ and witnessed Zephaniah and Emma acting very intimate. My friend is the one that was recently caught in possession of marijuana.”
“At first, she did not suspect that they had any special relationship. After all, everyone in the industry knows that Eric and Emma’s relationship is really good. So, my friend didn’t think anything of it. It wasn’t until she heard the recent rumors about Zephaniah and Emma did she realize she may have something shocking in her hands.”
“If you want evidence, you should go look for her. After all, I’m afraid of Kaleidoscope’s revenge. So, give her a phone call and try asking her instead,” the woman explained. “The only reason why I spoke up was because I was drunk. I never expected it to cause such a commotion. So, I now need to go overseas and hide.”
Did this mean that Emma and Zephaniah actually did something indecent behind Eric’s back?
After hearing the woman’s explanation, Wren tried to tempt the woman into giving her more detail. But…
…the woman refused. She instead asked Wren, “Everyone in the industry is trying their best to avoid talking about Emma. Why are you walking headfirst into it? How much do you hate her?”
“I hate her a lot!”
“Do you mind telling me who you are?”
Wren wasn’t so stupid as to reveal her identity, so she avoided answering and hung up the phone. She then contacted the previously budding artist who no longer had a promising career.
However, the woman had only just been bailed out of the police station, so she directly rejected Wren’s request, “Sorry, I’m not brave enough to provoke Emma and Eric. I don’t have any evidence in my hands.”
“But, your friend already emailed me a photo before she left for overseas…” It took a lot of bribing for Wren to get this information. Obviously, she needed to make sure the information was true.
Inside the photo, Emma was indeed with a man. In fact, their actions were very intimate, each with one arm around the other. The man’s eyes was covered by a mosaic effect to mask his identity, but it was obvious that it was Zephaniah.
“I really don’t have anything. Please stop bothering me.”
Wren refused to give up; she insisted on getting the original uncensored photo. So, she proposed a very attractive offer, “As long as you are willing to hand over the photo, I can give you anything in return.”
“Sorry, I still can’t give it to you,” the woman was firm on her decision, with no intention of backing down. “Stop trying to tempt me with your lies. If I give the photo to you and Kaleidoscope end up looking for me, how bad would that be?”
The woman was extremely careful because of her fear towards Eric.
After careful thought, Wren thought of an idea, “How about we meet in person.”
“Meet?” the woman laughed questioningly. “Why do you want the photo so badly? It’s not like you can spread it around. Aren’t you afraid of Kaleidoscope’s revenge? I really can’t comprehend how much you must hate Emma.”
“You simply need to let me know if you are willing to sell the photo.”
“I’ll sell it for $30 million. I need to leave New York. After all, I can’t survive here anymore,” the woman finally said after careful consideration.
“$30 million…” Wren was stunned by this amount, so she didn’t respond for a while.
Seeing her hesitation, the woman immediately asked, “Too expensive? I won’t force you then. I don’t want to make the risk either. Even though I really want the money, I’d prefer to keep my life. To prevent others from seeking me out, I think I’ll destroy this photo after you hang up. I really don’t want to dig my own grave.”
After speaking, the woman was prepared to hang up the phone. But, Wren called out to hold her back, “Let’s set a time and place.”
“Let me think about it. I’ll send the details to your phone.”
After hanging up, Wren held onto her phone anxiously as she paced back and forth across the living room. A few minutes later, she received a message with a time and address. Only then did her anxiety ease a little.
She did all this to make Emma disappear from Eric’s side.
She really wanted to know, if she was to place the evidence in front of Eric and he was to see the intimate photo of Emma and Zephaniah, how would he be able to tolerate her.
The meeting was scheduled for two days later.
Location: Hotel Miro.
Meanwhile, at the exact same moment that Wren received her message, Emma also received a message on her phone: “Fish has taken the bait. The plan is running smoothly.”
Sometimes, one could also utilize the method of unexpected reversal.
Afterwards, Emma handed her phone to Eric.
“Is it possible to confirm that the caller was Ms Hoey?”
Eric responded by showing some videos to Emma on his phone. In the videos, Wren was seen purchasing multiple phones and SIM cards.
And, the phone used to make contact, was one of the ones that Wren had bought.
“Why didn’t she look for a private investigator?”
“Because she knows, the more she asks of the private investigator, the more information they will have in their hands. If she can handle it herself with no issues, why ask someone else?”
“I can understand why Ms Hoey hates me. But, what about your father?” Emma asked in seriousness, “Doesn’t he know that this will also hurt you?”
“I’ve never been an obedient person either.”
“But, my appearance has further amplified the problems that already existed. They want to use whatever methods possible to tear me away from your side and wake you up,” Emma’s l*ps curved up slightly as she looked down at her stomach and shook her head, “It’s just, their methods aren’t that great. I thought I was the only one that sacrificed myself in order to destroy my enemies.”
After speaking, the couple remained silent for a little while before Emma added, “At least, with Elodie, it was a matter of interest. But, is it necessary for your parents to go to the extent where they would do anything just to put up a fight?”
“No matter how big of an issue they have with me and no matter how much they don’t want to see me, there’s no need to slander their daughter-in-law and grandchild, right?”
“Sorry,” Eric hugged Emma tightly, “The Miller Family has already given you enough struggles.”
“Why should you be sorry?” Emma asked as she turned to look at Eric. Her heart broke as she saw his face, “You know, I once dreamed of a perfect relationship with my in-laws. I thought, even if Ms Hoey doesn’t like me, she would at least love you, but…”
“You are Eric. In my heart, and other people’s hearts, you are capable of anything…”
“No matter how your parents are, they should not be vulgar people, yet, the things they have done, do not match their identities at all…”
After hearing what Emma had to say, Eric carried his wife horizontally towards the bedroom, “There are some things that I am still investigating.”
In reality, Eric couldn’t believe that his parents were like this either…
“How certain are you at the moment?” Emma was well aware of what Eric was investigating, so her question was a little out of context.
“I’m 90% sure.”
It seemed, in Eric’s heart, the current Wren was already a fake.
“Actually, there is a very simple method you could use.”
“Things aren’t as simple as you think.” Eric pushed open the door to the bedroom and placed Emma onto the bed, “I need to clarify things properly.”
“If you don’t give me an answer soon, I will make a move at Miro Hotel in 2 days time. I will not let go of anyone that tries to tear us apart or hurt our child, even if that person is your mother.”
“Have I ever stopped you?” After speaking, Eric walked into the walk-in wardrobe and did his own thing. When he came back out, he had changed into a white pair of home clothes.
Eric had always known that Emma knew what she was doing. And in this world, the only person that understood his difficulties and pains was Emma.
