That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Meanwhile, at the Thornton Group.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Joshua stood in front of Emma with a grim expression. “Miss Thornton, someone overseas seems intent on obstructing our investigation into Olivia, especially regarding those two children, so…”

Before he could finish, Emma interrupted him coldly, “So you still haven’t found anything!”

Joshua remained silent.

The atmosphere in the office grew tense.

Emma stared at him for a long time before speaking through gritted teeth, “After all this time, you still can’t find anything. What’s the use of having you around!”

Without waiting for Joshua to respond, she shouted, “Get out!”

Joshua turned and left.

As the office door closed, Emma was fuming with anger.

It had been days since Victor had said he wanted to break off their engagement, yet she hadn’t found any dirt on Olivia!

If Victor really announced their broken engagement, the future Mrs. Leer could very well be that woman!

Six years ago, that woman had taken the position that should have been hers. Six years later, that woman was still haunting her!

Being dumped by Victor had already made her lose face. If the same person took Victor away from her a second time, wouldn’t people see her as a joke?

No! No matter what it took, she couldn’t let Olivia become Mrs. Leer!

After sitting in the office for a long time, Emma narrowed her eyes and called Lily.

On the other end, Lily had just finished breakfast. When she received Emma’s call, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt, remembering what Emma had said a few days ago.

She had promised to help persuade Victor once he calmed down, but she hadn’t had the chance to talk to him yet.

When she answered the phone, Lily felt a bit sorry for Emma and spoke warmly, “Emma, it’s early. What’s the matter?”

Emma’s face was grim, but her voice was sweet. “Madam, do you not like me anymore?”

Lily frowned slightly at the words. “What are you talking about? How could I not like you?”

Emma suppressed the coldness in her heart and said coyly, “But you haven’t contacted me these past few days. I thought that since Victor wants to break off our engagement, you might have forgotten about me too.”

Her voice sounded very aggrieved but not abrupt.

Lily felt even more guilty and sighed softly before saying, “I’ve just been busy lately. And about you and Victor…”

She paused for a few seconds before comforting Emma, “Don’t worry. I’ll talk to Victor. Your engagement can’t just be called off like this.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Emma’s reproachful voice came through. “Madam, didn’t I tell you? I see you as a mother figure. Even without Victor, I still respect you. As for my engagement with Victor, since he’s already made up his mind, I know he’s not easily persuaded. So I don’t hold much hope anymore. I just hope our relationship can remain as it was.”

Lily felt comforted and replied emotionally, “Of course.”

A hint of disdain flashed in Emma’s eyes, but her tone remained sweet and understanding. “When will you have some free time? I want to buy a couple of outfits and would love your advice.”

Lily laughed and said, “This weekend.”

Emma agreed and flattered Lily a bit more before hanging up the phone.
