Chapter 22: The Meeting No One Wants
Emma is currently in her old apartment, thinking of all sorts of ways to meet Alden. But even with all the theories, it was impossible to find a suitable and feasible way to meet him. Helen’s villa is not easy for strangers to enter. But since then, when she went back and forth with Alden until she got married, she never had a chance to go there. The Alden family did not allow Emma to visit. Alden wanted to take her home, but his parents wouldn’t allow it. If you make it tense, you will lose your peace of mind. At that time, she didn’t care, thinking that just being able to command Alden was enough, his family didn’t matter. Now she wished she could go back in time and do her best to be invited into Helen’s mansion. If he could please those family members, he wouldn’t have to suffer like this now. Regrettably, in life no one is expected to do bad things, bearing bitter consequences is obvious.
Currently, Emma is having a headache, trying to figure out what Agatha has poisoned in her son’s brain, but to no avail. Why didn’t Alden find her after waking up? Does the drug stops working or is there another reason? While Emma has yet to find out the cause, suddenly someone’s house comes to the couple claiming to be the new owner, insisting on forcing her to move out. Emma insisted on refusing and was eventually kicked out into the street mercilessly. Find out clearly, it turns out that the house has been sold by Gavin to someone else. From the beginning, the house was in Gavin’s name. It was miserable for Emma, when all the assets that Alden had were involved, related to his family, not his brother, then his mother. It can be said that this is an effective preventive measure, to prevent situations that have been predicted in advance.
Just like that, a week had passed since the accident, and she was evicted from the spacious, large house. And in less than seventy-two hours, she received a divorce letter from Alden. It was a real shock to Emma. Surely her mother would be very angry when she returned from the trip. She had to deal with the situation before her mother returned lest the punishment is unavoidable.
What comforted Emma a little was that she was able to quickly pack a lot of clothes, as well as valuable jewelry in a large suitcase. However, that was not enough with ambition, Emma cursed herself for being stupid, subjective, and daring to challenge God. Looking back, she had the whole world in her hands, everything was as it should be and now it’s all gone in the blink of an eye. Emma still doesn’t understand how it all came so easily, but she’ll figure it out and brace herself to play one last hand of cards.
Tomorrow will be the day of the mediation. She is very worried and Khanh Van has not yet given an answer to her request. That he heard anything about Alden? The best way to distract them from her sadness was to go shopping, but she suddenly remembered that she was poor. She looked into her wardrobe, needing a disguise, to show Alden how distressed she was at his sudden and unreasonable decision. Emma is now ready to do anything to reconcile, to prevent the marriage from falling apart. But alas, dreams are just dreams, especially for those who are daydreaming, building far-fetched dreams. While I don’t put in the effort to achieve what I want, all ambitions are hard to come true.
…
The next morning, before leaving the house to go to the law office to meet Alden. She took a moment to stand in front of the mirror, rehearsing herself to have the saddest, melancholy, anguished face. Also, think of a way to convince Alden to change his mind. Her crocodile tears still fell easily and she prided herself on being the perfect actress. Emma believed that Alden would feel pity for Alden when he saw her emaciated appearance, thinking of her legendary victory, Emma couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Looking at the scene now, it can be seen that Emma has gone crazy when she lost everything. No one cared about her unhappiness, and the more she thought about it, the more pitiful Emma felt. After preparing everything, she rushed to the meeting. The meeting had been arranged in Devlin’s office, which was a great advantage and she would certainly seize the opportunity to turn the tables. But alas, once again mocking Emma’s wild imagination. She acted as if justice was still on her side. The whole world will have to listen to her complaint, she has the right to blame all of the world for the tragedy of her life. Then we’ll see what the outcome will be. Emma just waits and sees that she should repent from now on. Sincere advice for her, listen or not listen to it.
Time ticked by, it was now eight-fifteen in the morning. Emma soon arrived at the room of fate and was waiting for the arrival of Alden and his brother-in-law. In the meantime, she made some arrangements with Cao Khang, who warned her to be patient until she heard the reason for the breakup. It didn’t take long for Alden and Gavin to enter the conference room. He walked with a haughty, self-confident air that showed he was completely fine, cleverly concealing the fact that he was blind. It took Alden several days to move without tripping. He wanted to be tough in front of Emma, not look miserable and hurt, so that she could gleefully laugh at him.
Emma got up nervously to look at Alden, but he didn’t even look at her. Well, obviously you can’t see the fake face she’s wearing. Gavin clicked his tongue derisively, not even looking at Emma for more than three seconds.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Good morning gentlemen.” Devlin politely greeted.
“Good morning.” Both brothers replied coldly. Who does not know that the main male character in the video is Devlin? Gavin whispered and laughed at the thought, there would be a good drama to watch. Luckily Alden didn’t see it, to realize what the horns stuck into his head looked like. Ugly and worse than him many times.
“Good morning, Alden.” Emma said in a tearful voice, not taking her pained gaze away from him: “I’m glad you survived the accident. How are you feeling now? I’m so worried about you. I went to the hospital, but…”
Emma sobbed, pretending to drop the story to avoid offending Gavin directly and at the same time to intrigue Alden so that he asked her to continue. Unfortunately, this tactic is very old. How can she improve the situation if she doesn’t use a new trick?
Gavin shot a scornful glance at Emma, but she dared not deal with him. Emma expected a response from Alden, but nothing happened but a cold, emotionless look. That made her angry, and uncomfortable inside.
