Emily waltzed confidently into the meeting room. Who said her heart was delicate? She was still heartbroken. She didn't want to show much of what she was feeling now, except for Shila.Even when in the meeting room, her eyes met Charles' disappointed eyes; Emily tried to ease the turmoil of her own heart.She would explain everything to Charles later. She didn't want herself to be the scapegoat for the feud between Charles and the con man who had taken advantage of her fragility to bring her down.What happened between her and Jeffry had nothing to do with Charles. And Emily would not accept if Jeffry involved her in this situation.The meeting was just about to start, and one figure who had become Emily's enemy from now on was present and got a seat right next to her. The woman was reluctant, even looking the other way without caring that Jeffry was hoping to have a little talk with her and explain everything."Emilia, can we talk for a moment? Later, after the meeting."Emily ignore
The misunderstanding between Emily and Charles turned out to be her guess. Charles never got angry or forbade her to spend the rest of her life with anyone.No matter what, Emily would always be a McKennel—because that was Charles' hope.The problem was Jeffry's attitude, and words already hurt Emily. Therefore, she has decided on her relationship with him.Emily was now walking towards her room. However, on the way, someone grabbed her arm and led her to a small room where no one could see them, as if the man knew the ins and outs of the company he was in.It was true. It was nothing new that this man knew EMZ Company and even the whole place."Ssh ... Em, it's me, Jason. Don't shout, okay!?"Emily nodded obediently. She had nothing to fear from this man, and anyway, she knew very well what Jason was like. If Jason dared to touch Emily, all the burdens and triggers of conflict between them no longer exist.Jason released his hand that was initially smothering Emily's mouth as she nod
Emily had managed to get Jeffry out of her room. And also from her heart, of course. But still, getting rid of the love that has already grown is not an easy thing. Emily needed some time to do that, and of course, Emily also needed someone's role for this. And it seemed that, for now, she was the one who played an essential role in the improvement of her emotional state. Emily can't rely on anyone, even though she is in the same room with Jason, who seems to care so much. "What did that man say?" Jason asked, obviously curious about how Emily and Jeffry's relationship was going. Their relationship was not okay. Jeffry ruined it before they started, and it was because of each other's selfishness. Couldn't either of them admit what they felt inside of each other instead of pushing each other away and torturing their hearts? "It's none of your business, Jase! What do you want to talk about now? Just say it because I have a lot to do right now." Jason couldn't deny that he was appr
Everyone was silent, waiting for either Jared or Tamara to answer the question Jason had asked a few minutes ago. However, for almost an hour, neither took the initiative to start.Jason lost his patience. He got up, and there was no stopping him. Jason pulled Jared's shirt collar and slapped the man's handsome face, who had been silent as if he didn't want his iniquity to be seen in front of Emily. Even though no matter how hard he tried to cover up, it would eventually be exposed.And, of course, now is the time.Jason blindly attacked Jared with all the strength he had. He didn't care that his body was shaking with rage. All he could think about was teaching a lesson to the ignorant man who was, unfortunately, his older brother.Emily was about to intervene, but Charles signaled her not to. That was how Charles educated his two sons, by letting them solve their problems without intervening too much.And there was no resistance from Jared, either because the man realized his mistake
Emily can probably breathe a sigh of relief now. Because Jason's problems, which have entangled Tamara for so long, have finally found a bright spot. Unfortunately, the end for Jason is not the same for Jared, who must take responsibility for his actions.However, Charles does not allow anyone to interfere in Jared and Tamara's affairs. That's what Charles explains before Jared leaves the McKennel family residence, which must be followed by Jason, who also has unfinished business.For this one problem, Jason was forced to involve Emily."I need your moral support, Em. Throwing away the things that have been with you for a long time is not easy. You must know that," he said, coming suddenly into Emily's room.The woman was still sitting in her chair and working on the work she hadn't finished since yesterday, so she didn't notice the man's arrival and even ignored him."Em, I'm talking to you. Are you still working on the project with Jared?" Jason said, approaching Emily.Emily closed
"I told Aunt Emilia to come, baby. But I'm sorry if our efforts didn't work out." Jeffry rubbed the top of Lyla's head as she lay in the hospital, staring into her father's watery, almost spilling eyes.It was not only Lyla who needed support at this time but also Jeffry. He desperately needed Emily to be by his side right now.Jeffry realized his mistake. He did not expect to be like a lion who surrendered to a lamb. He intended to hurt Emily, with the aim that Charles felt the pain he felt. A Lost.However, it seems he miscalculated everything. What he intended for Emily turned back on him.Jeffry is now trapped by the love that continues to gnaw at his heart. Even the desire to have Emily is no longer unstoppable. Especially after knowing how Lyla is, the only treasure he has at the moment.He only needs reinforcement for all conditions. He needs Emily to know that he still has someone who will survive and God will never take from him.Unfortunately, to prove that it's not easy for
Emily ventured to come to Charles and tell him how she felt about Jeffry. Charles had said he would not forbid her to have a relationship with Jeffry. Although it may sound as if Emily has eaten her words, this is for the sake of Lyla. Is it? Is it for Lyla or herself? Her egoism still doesn't want to be outdone, and she enjoys a happy life between her and Jeffry. It couldn't be just because of a little girl she had only met twice. Then Emily sacrificed her pride and changed her attitude to what she had said before. She had to do this, if not for herself, at least for Lyla. "Hm, you came again. It looks like you're starting to feel at home in this house since Jared no longer lives with us here," Charles commented when he saw Emily come in, still dressed neatly. "You didn't go to the office?" "I left work for a while. And yes, I did skip some work to visit someone in the hospital." Emily stopped her sentence, waiting for the right moment to say something else that Charles might ne
Emily watched Lyla from the large glass window that prevented her from grasping Lyla's tiny fingers. The girl must be in a lot of pain right now. However, there was no sound from her lips as she was unconscious. Jeffry hopes that Emily will still be able to see Lyla if tonight is the last night for the little girl. Meanwhile, he is now unable to see how the doctors are working to overcome his daughter's problem. He chose to sit a little further away from the room where Lyla was. Emily still couldn't believe that she had just met the little girl and decided to persuade Charles that the man had a chance to meet his granddaughter; what happened instead seemed to crush Emily's hopes for Lyla's recovery. "Jeff, there must be something we can do for Lyla, right? Jeffry, answer me!" Emily, who was beginning to panic—even more than Jeffry, even though Lyla was not her biological daughter—was now shaking the arm of the man just sitting there. Jeffry's eyes stared straight at the tiles benea
