In Eric’s defense that year, it was said that Robert was revealed to be gay, and he was so angry that he killed the person who broke the news. Eric tried his best to prove that Robert is a normal man, who had other grudges with Peter, and was discredited by Peter on purpose. Those recordings and videos were also fake.
With Eric’s fierce defense and Emerson’s powerful economic power, Robert’s homosexuality stain was completely removed, and he was finally charged with mental runaway manslaughter. However, whether Robert was gay or manslaughter was not known to the public. As the person who tampered the evidence, he naturally knew everything well. And Peter revealed the news that the child in Candice’s belly was not Robert’s, so it can naturally be proved that something was true.
Peter didn’t know who the baby’s father was, and Robert didn’t tell him. So Emerson’s reputation was preserved, and no one knew the role Emerson played in it.
But Eric was so shrewd, so he would naturally guess the truth based on Candice’s contact with men. But he was just guessing and had no evidence. Until now, his daughter said that Robert’s wife and son were back, and that the little boy called Emerson father, and was very similar to Emerson, that Eric confirmed his guess and warned his daughter.
Lily looked at the family of three on that chair. It was so harmonious and so warm. She gritted her teeth with hate.
When Emerson visited her house for the first time that year, she, who just graduated from college, fell in love with Emerson. Emerson was tall, well-educated and had a charming appearance. He also was successful and famous in L city. That’s why she told her father that she wanted to marry him.
It was because Lily told her father that she just wanted to marry Emerson this life, so Eric gave Emerson a hint later that his daughter Lily was beautiful, smart and elegant. After that, Emerson, for his brother’s sake, really put forward the terms of exchange.
Lily thought, “Emerson, I, Lily, waited for five years and finally the wedding date is coming. I will definitely not let go. I will definitely not let you and your sister-in-law be together, I will definitely not!”
“Emerson.” Lily walked into the garden with smile and looked beautiful.
The tranquility of the family of three was broken, and Candice quickly withdrew her attention. Emerson still held Edward in his arms. He did not put down the book in his hand and looked up at Lily impatiently, “Why are you here?”
Lily showed the dress in her hand, “Emerson, today our dress was shipped by air from France. You said you are busy with things and didn’t have time to go to the bridal shop to try it, so I take it to you.”
Lily said nothing wrong, but subconsciously stressed the words ‘you are busy’.
Candice lowered her head. Emerson had time to tell a story to his son, but had no time to try the dress. Lily was supposed to be angry.
Candice took Edward away from Emerson’s arms and said, “Lily, today Emerson took us to the cemetery to clean my parents’ graves. I didn’t know you were going to try on the dress. I’m really sorry.”
Lily smiled and said, “Candice, it doesn’t matter. Emerson and I were just trying on the dress today. Of course, it’s your mom and Dad that matters. Emerson is your brother-in-law. He knows the priorities. So, I’ll bring our dresses and want to try them on here.”
Candice looked at the two big bags in Lily’s hand and nodded, “Then I and Edward will go back. You can try on the dress.”
Candice hugged her son and turned to leave, but Lily said, “Candice, can you help me wear a wedding dress for a while? Wearing a wedding dress seems to be troublesome and needs help. You must have experience wearing it, right?”
Emerson got up and his gaze turned cold, “She just registered with Robert to get married. She didn’t hold a wedding ceremony or wear a wedding dress. She can’t help you.”
Lily was startled and panicked, “Sorry, I… I don’t know.”
