The Sandford Family was in chaos because of Emma. At the same time, the Quinsley Family also was in chaos.
Caroline originally thought that after pushing her daughter out to plead for mercy, Gustav would be lenient to her and not let her divorce Jaxon.
But who knew that it was useless.
Gustav was truly angered. He was about to have a heart attack. Losing Emma was equivalent to losing the future of Quinsley Family.
Gustav had to find someone to vent the anger in his heart. As for this person, it could only be Caroline.
“Emily, don’t ask anymore. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. This marriage must be divorced.”
Caroline sat on the bed with a dead face. She had never thought that her ending would be so miserable.
Emily also sat on the sofa and did not speak for a long time.
“It is all because of that ingrate Emma. The Quinsley family raised her up and she did not know how to be grateful. She even instigated our relationship and made Quinsley Family unable to have peace. I curse her to be hit to death by a car when she goes out and drink water to death.” Caroline could not hide the resentment in her heart and cursed again.
Emily saw that her mother would only blame Emma and frowned, “Mom, don’t blame anyone. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not being smart enough and being cheated.”
“Emily, if I divorce, how am I going to live?” Caroline looked up to the sky and sighed. Ever since she married into the Quinsley Family, she had lived a quality life. If she divorced and the Quinsley Family did not give her money to spend, her quality of life would definitely plummet.
She did not want to become a middle-aged woman in the market. For the sake of a few cents of food money, she was bargaining with the trader. It was an insult to her noble temperament.
Emily advised, “Mom, don’t worry. I won’t let you starve. I’m starting to work now.”
“Your little money is not enough for you to spend on your own. I don’t dare to count on you. But I’ve been an upper-class family for so many years. I can’t lift my hands, I can’t shoulder my shoulders, and I don’t have any skills. I can’t find a job. I think I should starve to death.” The more Caroline thought about it, the more sorrowful she became. She looked like she had no mercy.
Emily looked at her mother who was in despair and also felt helpless.
Suddenly, she took out her handbag and turned around to leave.
Caroline immediately called out to her, “Emily, where are you going? Didn’t you say that you will accompany mother?”
Emily rolled her eyes, “Don’t worry, I will go find Jimmy and ask him for help!”
Caroline was stunned when she heard Jimmy.
That’s right. Jimmy and Emma had a deep relationship. Maybe she would ask Jimmy for help and ask him to say something good for her. Perhaps Emma would let her father-in-law let her go.
Emily was not as optimistic as Caroline thought.
She stood in front of Jimmy’s door and saw the lights inside. She raised her hand and pressed the doorbell.
Not long after, the door opened and Jimmy frowned as he looked at her. “What are you doing here?”
“Please do me a favor!” The pride on Emily’s body was gradually sharpened by time. She did not even speak so arrogantly anymore.
Jimmy looked at her strangely. He said coldly, “When did I make you think so highly of me?”
“Jimmy, my parents are getting divorced. It was Emma who caused it.” Emily was very sad. She looked at Jimmy’s handsome face. Tears that she had been stubborn for a long time finally slid down her face.
Jimmy furrowed his brows. “If it is something related to Mia, don’t come looking for me. It is late. You can go back.”
“Jimmy, don’t chase me away!” Emily hugged him tightly from behind with misty eyes. “Okay, I don’t need you to help me, but can you accompany me? I am really lonely and scared.”
“Emily, stop acting. Will people like you be lonely?” Jimmy mocked her. He stretched out his hand, wanting to pull her finger away.
Emily let go of his hand in disappointment. Looking at Jimmy’s unsympathetic gaze, her heart turned cold.
“You still call her Mia even now. Jimmy, are you really not going to let go of her just like that? Do you think that it is still possible between you and her?” The resentment in Emily’s heart instantly ignited.
“Some habits cannot be changed in this lifetime. No matter who she is with now, Whether she is living well or not, in my heart, she is the girl that needs me to take care of and protect.” Jimmy’s face was filled with grief.
“You can change someone else to love you. There is no need to be in love with her and not forget about it.” Emily did not realize that there was some expectation in her tone.
Jimmy said lightly, “You don’t expect me to fall in love with you, do you?”
“Why not? We have already had such an intimate relationship. You and Emma did not even kiss.” Emily said proudly.
That matter was Jimmy’s disgrace. He did not want to mention it again in this lifetime. “Emily, didn’t I give you five million yuan as compensation? What else do you want? Even if it was an accident, I made it up to you.”
Emily suddenly became speechless. That’s right. That day, she received his money. Five million was really not a small amount to Jimmy.
But he still fulfilled his promise. He gave the money to her and even designed a few very beautiful dresses for her.
The result of one night’s worth of effort might be Jimmy’s achievement of struggling for a year.
Suddenly, Emily discovered that Jimmy’s image in her eyes had become much more lofty and noble.
A man who was willing to take responsibility for his mistakes would definitely be a good husband. Emma giving up on him was really a pity. She would not miss him again.
“Okay, I asked for too much. Jimmy, can you not hate me so much? I also hope to be friends with you like Emma!” Emily softened her tone and begged in a low voice.
Jimmy shook his head. “Sorry, I have been busy recently! I don’t have time to make friends!”
“I heard that you have a special relationship with your company’s President Daisy. Have… Have you dated?” Emily suddenly found that her courage was empty. When she asked the last question, she realized that she was no longer the insufferably arrogant herself in the past. She had become so humble.
Jimmy’s expression changed and he said indifferently, “Does this have anything to do with you?”
Emily’s entire body trembled slightly. Yes, did this have anything to do with her?
“Jimmy, didn’t you notice? In the past, I didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth, and I was self-centered. Arrogant… But now, when I grew up, I realized that I didn’t have the right to live that kind of princess life. The Quinsley Family’s business is constantly falling, and my grandfather and father are anxious every day. Now, my parents are getting divorced again. I go to the filming crew every day to film. My life has become much simpler. Can you please stop treating me like the Emily of the past?” Emily pleaded, feeling wronged.
Jimmy sighed. “Yes, I can see that you have changed. In the past, you looked down on me with disdain, but now, you are still willing to talk to me in such a manner. Of course, I can see that.”
“Then… With me like this, can I be friends with you?” Emily looked into his eyes with great anticipation and asked.
“I don’t think so. Because Mia doesn’t like you, and I won’t be friends with you! I have to go back to work, goodbye!” Jimmy’s sentence about Emma not liking her directly hit Emily’s pride and self-esteem.
When the door was closed in front of her, her expression turned ashen.
Why? Why did Jimmy like the standards of people, or did it have something to do with Emma?
Emily sat blankly on the steps and looked at the garden in front of her. Although it was under the night sky, because of the street lights, it was still very hazy and beautiful.
“Jimmy, slow down your ride. I’m afraid!”
“Jimmy, is this the birthday cake you bought for me? It’s delicious!”
“Jimmy, my school uniform is broken. I won’t be able to go to school tomorrow. What should I do?”
“Jimmy…”
Emily heard many voices from the past, but all of them came from Emma and Jimmy’s growing memories.
It was on this road that Jimmy, who was still a teenager, rode his bicycle back and forth with Emma.
She stood on the balcony upstairs and looked at them with disdain. Now, those beautiful scenes of youth made Emily feel so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry.
In the past, she did not admit that she was inferior to Emma. Only now did she realize that Emma really had a likeable personality.
Emily stood up and was at a loss as to where to go.
Perhaps, she should not ask Jimmy. It was Emma.
The next morning!
Emma drove to the company. The year-end celebration was getting closer and closer. The entire company was busy.
To become a global media company, this grand ceremony was undoubtedly the focus of the world.
When everyone in the company was busy like a dog, Emma could actually steal some free time.
She made herself a cup of lemon water. After lunch, she prepared to listen to music and relax her mood.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the office door.
“Come in!” Emma thought it was a colleague. Her voice was soft.
The door was pushed open and the person who walked in made Emma stunned.
“Why is it you?” Emma’s attitude towards the person who came was neither cold nor hot.
Was the sun really rising from the west? When did Emily enter and knock on the door?
Emily looked very haggard.
Emma thought in her heart, perhaps it was because of her parents’ divorce that made her very angry and wanted to settle the score with her.
“Emma, why did you do that? Are you really that happy to break up the peace of Quinsley Family?” Emily’s tone was not firm but instead had a kind of reproach.
Emma was shocked again. Emily wanted to settle the score with her, why did she not have the confidence to speak?
“When has the Quinsley Family been peaceful? Why didn’t I know?” Emma laughed sarcastically.
“I know that you caused my mother to divorce because you hate me. If I have any mistakes, you can blame it on me. Please don’t let my mother bear such consequences.” Emily looked like she was not here to seek revenge. She was actually here to apologize.
Emma was really shocked and changed her position to continue sitting lazily, “Emily, don’t tell me you are here to ask for my help?”
