Emily was taken aback, looking at Issac in confusion. She thought she had made it clear that their marriage was irreparable, and their relationship could only end here. "Yes, I've made it very clear," she replied.
Issac looked at Emily, his eyes—unreadable to Emily at that moment—fixed on her. ""Are you truly... this angry with me?"
Though she couldn't decipher his gaze, Emily felt a profound pressure. She averted his gaze, pursed her lips, and clenched her hands tightly together, as if seeking some form of strength. She silently turn her head and look out the irony gate, where the view appeared chaotic and blurry.

The morning sun illuminated Emily and June's bedroom, rousing them from sleep with the shrill sound of the alarm clock. Emily groggily fumbled to turn off the alarm, rubbing her eyes vigorously. Meanwhile, June rolled directly out of bed, staggering to her feet."Oh, I really don't want to get up for work," June moaned, wide-eyed, looking at Emily."We don't have a choice,” Emily said, climbing out of bed and nudging June into the bathroom as she started to get dressed. “We're broke, we have to earn a living! We need to hurry, June, or we'll be late."As soon as the bathroom door shut, Emily busied herself in the room.

"Cici," Emily's voice was calm and indifferent. "The yachts and mansions you speak of have never been mine, they belong to Issac. Living in such luxury every day, I may possess the grandeur you see, but I live in constant fear of losing it all. That's not the life I want."Unperturbed by Cici's provocation, Emily gazed around at the bustling crowd. "Now, I'm using my own hands to create my own life. It may be tough, but it's truly mine. I no longer need to worry about losing anything, because I have the ability to earn everything I need." A sense of satisfaction and pride filled her heart, a feeling she'd never felt before.
