After the banquet, everyone hadn't recovered from the shock yet.　　In the car, Laura noticed that there was blood oozing out of Rose's tightly clenched hands.　　"Relax! It's not a big deal. Carlos said that because he was fooled by that bitch Emily. She's now a disowned daughter of the Hopkinson family. Compared to you, she is nothing." Laura knew that things were not that simple. No one in the business world would hand over their interests for this reason. She just wanted to calm Rose down for now and deal with the rest later.　　"Really? Laura, am I better than Emily?"　　"Of course. She's just an ordinary person with a ruined reputation." Laura felt sorry and put a band-aid on Rose's wound.　　"What's the point of hurting yourself like this? It will only make Emily happy," Laura scolded her.　　"You are right. I won't give her what she wants."　　In the meantime, Carlos and Emily were traveling in a different car while Andrew stayed with the driver

　　Laura was interrupted in her conversation with Ash, and she looked annoyed at Rose.In the midst of Rose's messy sobbing, Laura learned the ins and outs of the matter in her mind."Laura, is what that nasty bitch said true? What exactly does she know?" Rose was frightened."Emily's purpose of return is surely not simple. How could you be frightened by her just like that? Do you still want to defeat her?" Laura's reprimanding calmed Rose a bit."You should listen to her. She's doing everything for your good." Ash patted Rose's shoulder and then walked out.He left the room to Laura and Rose.After Laura comforted Rose, she asked casually, "Rose, how's your assistant?""My current assistant? What is her name? Never mind. It's not important. She's alright, just a bit slow.""Then I'll find you a new one.""Okay."Rose didn't mind. Anyway, she didn't like Reed, and Laura would find someone better for her.　　Reed sat uneasily at her desk. After a few days with nothing unusual happening, she

　　The streetlights were on. Louise was picked up by her family, while Carlos insisted on sending Emily home.　　"I had no idea you were so cute when you were young," Carlos reminisced while driving, recalling what he had heard today.　　'I wish I'd known Emily when I was a kid', he thought and turned back to look at Emily.　　Emily was stunned by the tenderness in his eyes. She wasn't a fool, and of course, she was aware of Carlos' feelings for her. However, she just wanted to take good care of her children, reclaim her inheritance, and find out how her father died.　　There was a list of tasks she must complete, so it wasn't the time to fall in love with someone. Maybe someday in the future.　　But for some reason, Derek's face emerged in Emily's mind. She shook her head and figured that it was probably because she had just seen him with Rose.　　"Are you alright?" Carlos looked at her with concern.　　"It's a bit stuffy in the car. I need some air."

A few days later, at Aaron and Ian's birthday party, Emily met Derek's parents.It was more like a family dinner than a birthday party.Derek has a close relationship with his family. They rarely hold banquets because they just want to spend special days with family members.Emily stood with Chris and Diane, feeling a bit nervous. She glared at Derek and blamed him for not explaining clearly.Now, she felt as if she was brought home by her boyfriend to visit his parents.Emily didn't want to think much about Derek's purpose, yet the situation was tricky.However, the kids were immune to that and were having a great time.Aaron was clingy to Emily and held her hand all the time. But later, Ian and Diane dragged him to play with Legos.Derek's parents were nice to Emily, so she was less nervous.She didn't realize that she was nervous not because they were strangers, but because they were Derek's parents. Adolf was a serious man, but when he looked at Emma, his eyes turned soft.Emma w

Emily was so busy that she forgot to ask about Derek's strange behavior on Aaron and Ian's birthday. Meanwhile, Derek was eagerly waiting for the result.Time slipped away quickly in their busy days.One day, Emily and Andrew finally found the location of the RAM.Because Andrew was framed, he was unable to continue paying the fees. The garage where he deposited the items was later auctioned.To avoid alarming Laura and Ash, Emily and Andrew spent a lot of effort finding the whereabouts of those things.Today, they made an appointment to meet the buyer. The buyer happened to be on vacation in another city, making it easier for them to take action.Emily and Andrew even invited a partner out in the city to ensure that everything was safe."Buy all the other things together. They should mean something to you."Emily thought so too. The more things they bought, the easier it was to confuse the enemy."We settled the price, and the partner wo
