These words caused Emily’s movements to go rigid and Azalea wrapped her arms around her waist. “Auntie! You definitely wouldn’t treat me like this if you were my mom! You’ll definitely care about me, love me, and give me all of the best things. Auntie! I really hope that you’re my mom!”
Emily’s heart was full of mixed emotions when she heard Azalea’s words. Any mother wouldn’t be able to stand it if their own daughter was bullied like this.
Emily was distressed and angry when she saw the bruises on Azalea’s body. “I’ll call Callum and ask him how the Floyd family disciplined their daughter. Did they teach her how to bully others by taking advantage of her power?”
Azalea and Meadow hadn’t expected that Emily would call Callum to question the scene.
They expected that Emily would be furious when she saw Azalea being injured and she would reveal Azalea’s identity directly as her daughter.
Emily’s reaction was different from their plan. She was angry and sad, but she didn’t seem to want to recognize Azalea at all. She just wanted to call Callum and ask him to discipline Angel.
How could Emily call Callum when Azalea was guilty of setting up a scheme?
If Emily really called to question Callum and he asked Angel about it, the truth would be exposed.
When Emily knew that Azalea wanted to persuade Angel to seduce Richard and that Angel did not beat her at all, Azalea’s plan would fail terribly.
Azalea immediately reached out and grabbed Emily. “Auntie, you can’t call Mr. Floyd to complain!”
“Why not?”
“Angel is your daughter as well. What will Mr. Floyd think if you call him like this? He must think that I’m trying to provoke both of you and he’ll slander. Mr. Floyd will certainly hate me if that happened.”
“Callum is not that kind of person! I know him!”
“Even if he doesn’t hate me, he will definitely question Angel after listening to you. How can Angel admit that she hit me? My mom will definitely speak up for her. How can Mr. Floyd deal with her since she’s his daughter? He would just gently reprimand her, right? Angel will definitely not be punished, but I will be hated even more because I complained about her. Aunty, I don’t want to be targeted by her again. She is an heiress of a rich family, but I’m just an actress. The difference between our status is too big.”
“All our plans can’t work, so what are you going to do?” Emily asked, “Are you going to be bullied by her like this?”
“I am an ordinary person, so it’s natural for me to be bullied because I don’t have power or influence. If I am like Angel, I don’t have to worry about being bullied. Speaking of which, I am so unfortunate. I don’t have a father and my mother isn’t good to me. I really have a hard life!”
Azalea began to cry again. Emily was furious, but her anger subsided when she heard Azalea’s words.
She remembered what Azalea had done before. She had never made up her mind to do one thing and she always looked down on others. She didn’t want to work hard and she had always chosen to take the wrong path.
There were a lot of people from poor families in this world. Didn’t Thomas rely on himself to gain such a position?
Emily saw Azalea grow up with her own eyes. This girl was someone who wanted to succeed without doing any work. Azalea would always go to her for help, and she had met up with Rammos many times for Azalea. Callum also gave Azalea enough opportunities. As long as Azalea tried her best, she could use Callum as a stepping stone and succeed. But what did Azalea do?
She didn’t want to support herself and didn’t work hard. Instead, she got herself involved with Angel and ended up like this.
How could she even complain about how pitiful she was in front of Emily?
How could she have the nerve to mention that she had no parents to protect her? Would someone fail in life just because they didn’t have rich parents?
Besides, why didn’t Angel bully other people and solely target Azalea?
It was all because of Azalea’s own doings. Emily calmed down when she thought of how Azalea had wronged Abbie. “You’d better think it over. You really don’t want me to call Callum and complain to him? I can ask Callum to stand up for you now, or you won’t get this chance again in the future.”
“It’s not that, but it’s just that I’m worried that it’ll affect me. I’m in dire straits now and I’m worried that it’ll be even worse if I offend Angel in the future.” Azalea wiped her tears. “If I had a strong and powerful family like Angel’s, how would I be afraid of her? Speaking of which, my life is so miserable. If I was born in a rich family like the Floyd family, I wouldn’t be bullied like this.”
Emily’s face was extremely grim when Azalea kept mentioning the Floyd family.
Although she felt sorry for Azalea, she also found that her patience for the younger girl was depleting quickly.
She only felt guilt and heartache for Azalea in the past, but she couldn’t control her frustration towards Azalea lately.
This was not the kind of feeling a mother should have for her own child. Emily felt that it was not right, but she was extremely annoyed.
Azalea did not know what Emily was thinking in her heart. She continued her performance and rattled on about how her life was hard and that her mother had always treated her badly.
Emily was really tired of listening, so she put down the ointment and said, “I have no other way to help you except to complain to Callum. If you don’t want to be bullied by Angel, there is another way. That is to stop being an actress and to find a job. Stay away from irrelevant people like Angel so that you don’t have to be bullied anymore.”
Emily’s words made Azalea roll her eyes in her heart. Was all of her hard work in vain?
She really didn’t understand what was going on with Emily. Why didn’t she want to be with Callum? Instead, she kept insisting on being an ordinary person. Wasn’t it good to be part of a wealthy family?
She and Meadow had agreed to make Emily’s heart go soft and take revenge for her, but Emily didn’t go along with their plan.
Emily didn’t even intend to recognize Azalea as her daughter, which made Azalea a little suspicious of Meadow’s words.
Was she really Emily and Callum’s daughter?
She would be humiliated if that wasn’t true, so she first had to do a DNA test with Emily to verify her identity.
Marcus came in with a file in his hand a few minutes after William arrived at the company the next morning. “Mr. Howard, Ornard and Angel’s DNA report is here!”
“Do you know what the results are?” William asked.
“I haven’t read it yet.” Marcus opened the file in front of William and took out the appraisal report. He sighed after reading the report, “It’s exactly as we thought.”
