In Love With My Ex's Billionaire Father Chapter Eighteen
Emily was experiencing a rare moment of serenity. Will had returned from a business trip, and despite the hazy troubles he alluded about with his firm, his mere presence offered her solace. She was making supper in the kitchen, and the scent of boiling spaghetti sauce filled the air. Will was in the living room, checking up on business emails.An abrupt tap on the door broke the quiet evening. Emily scowled and glanced at the clock. It was rare for someone to drop by unexpectedly at this hour. She cleaned her hands with a towel and went to answer the door.Jake was on the porch, looking untidy and angry. Emily's heart skipped a beat, and she reflexively gripped the door handle harder."Jake? "What are you doing here?" she said, attempting to keep her voice calm.Jake's eyes were wild, and his face flushed with rage. "We need to speak, Emily. Now."Emily paused, looking back to the living room, where Will was. "I do not believe that is a good idea, Jake. "You should leave."Before she

The morning light seeped through the kitchen window, spreading a warm glow across the room as Emily poured herself a cup of coffee. The events of the previous night were still vivid in her thoughts, but she was determined to start the day with a clean slate. Will had already gone to work, and Emily was looking forward to a quiet day to gather her thoughts and plan their next actions.As she drank her coffee, she noticed a faint rumbling. The sound of the mail slot clattering rang across the corridor, heralding the arrival of the morning mail. Emily placed down her cup and went over to the front door, where a tiny pile of mail was strewn on the doorstep.She snatched them up and flipped through the typical collection of invoices and adverts. Just as she was going to trash them, one envelope drew her attention. The envelope was basic and unmarked, with no return address or stamp. The only thing written on it was her name, handwritten in a rushed, almost frenzied style.Emily's heart ski

Emily went outdoors into the clean, chilly morning air, her thoughts already whirling with the events of the previous day. The enigmatic message, Jake's surprise arrival, and her growing concern for Samantha and Victoria put her on edge. She wanted a diversion to calm her thoughts. Walking in the park sounded like a wonderful idea.Emily took a few seconds to relax as she wandered along the tree-lined path, soaking in the fresh air and attempting to throw her anxieties behind. Her phone vibrated in her pocket, disturbing the peace. She took it out to see a message from Lisa, an old acquaintance she hadn't seen in years."Hello, Emily. Can we meet? It is urgent. - Lisa"Emily frowned, her curiosity aroused. Lisa was always a wonderful friend, but they had lost contact after high school. What was the reason she needed to see her right away? Emily hurriedly typed her answer."Okay, Lisa. "When and where?"The reply arrived nearly quickly."How about the café on Maple Street in an hour?"

Will sat in his office, his desk filled with papers and documents. He scratched his temples, feeling the weight of the day bear down on him. His firm had been facing a series of unexplainable setbacks, and despite his best efforts, he was unable to determine the cause of the problem. It seemed as if someone was actively sabotaging his attempts.Just as he was ready to depart for the day, his phone vibrated with an incoming call. He peered at the computer and recognized Mark, one of his most trusted coworkers."Hello, Mark. "What's up?" Will responded, attempting to sound more enthusiastic than he felt."Will, we should discuss. "It's all about the company," Mark continued, his voice low and anxious. "Can we meet in the bar around the block in 30 minutes? It's important."Will's heart fell. Mark was not someone who exaggerated or made frivolous demands. "Sure, I'll be there."---The bar was softly lit, in sharp contrast to the bright, busy workplace. Will saw Mark at a corner table, n

Samantha stood outside Madison Middle School's small brick structure. The bell had just rang, and students flowed out in groups, smiling and conversing as they headed home. Samantha took a deep breath, bracing herself for the meeting ahead. She saw Claire Montgomery, a colleague teacher and Emily's known nemesis, approaching her vehicle.Claire was a strong lady, with sharp features and even sharper tongue. Her animosity against Emily was well-known, motivated by professional envy and personal vendettas. Samantha realized that if she could get Claire's support, it would greatly aid her attempts to bring Emily down."Claire!" Samantha cried out, picking up her speed to catch up.Claire turned, her gaze narrowing slightly as she recognized Samantha. "You're Samantha, right? "Who is Emily's friend?" Her tone was guarded, verging on unpleasant."Not anymore," Samantha said with a sour tone. "I need to speak with you about something essential. "It is about Emily."Claire's countenance alte

Halfway through the morning, Emily heard a message over the intercom: "Ms. Taylor, please report to the principal's office."Her heart fell. This cannot be good. She took a long breath to compose herself before leaving her classroom and walking down the corridor. The kids, noticing her anxiety, looked at her with curiosity.Principal Andrews' office was located at the far end of the hallway. The door was slightly open, and Emily could see him inside, fumbling through a stack of papers. She softly knocked before walking inside."Ah, Emily." "Please take a seat," Principal Andrews replied, looking up from his desk with a somber face.Emily sat down, attempting to soothe the uneasy flutter in her chest. "What's this about, Principal Andrews?"He groaned and sat back in his seat. "Emily, we've gotten multiple concerns regarding your performance from both parents and other instructors. Concerns have been express

She struggled to retain her customary excitement and became irritated at little distractions. When the final bell rang, signifying the end of the school day, Emily felt a rush of relief sweep over her. She started cleaning up her classroom, thinking that the normal chore would help clear her thoughts.Just as she had finished arranging the desks, there came a tap on her door. Emily glanced up to find Claire Montgomery standing there, arms crossed, with a smug grin on her face."Emily, do you have a moment? I will like to speak with you" Claire inquired, her tone oozing with fake kindness.Emily moaned internally but maintained a pleasant grin. "Okay, Claire. "What can I do for you?"Claire entered the classroom and locked the door behind her. "I just wanted to talk to you about some concerns I've been hearing around the school."Emily felt a twinge

For far too long, Emily Taylor had been the faculty's golden child, beloved by students and revered by colleagues. Claire felt nauseous.She made her way to the teacher's lounge, a smug look on her lips as she learned details concerning Emily's probation. She poured herself a cup of coffee and took a seat, listening with delight as her colleagues expressed their concerns."Did you hear about Emily?" a teacher asked quietly. "I can't believe all those complaints.""Yeah," another responded. "She's always appeared so capable. "I wonder what happened."Claire leaned forward, seeming concerned. "It's quite sad. I've always believed Emily was a terrific teacher, but maybe she's been suffering more than we think."The other instructors agreed, and Claire's grin broadened. This was going just how she had intended. But while she drank he

Claire stood at the café's entryway, looking around for Samantha. Her thoughts were a swirl of fear and wrath, with Emily's legal lawsuit still fresh in her memory. Samantha was sitting in a corner seat, sipping her coffee with a serious look. Claire took a long breath before slipping onto the seat opposite her.Samantha glanced up, her gaze narrowing slightly. "You look like hell, Claire.""Gee, thanks," Claire said, her tone sarcastic. "I feel the same way. Emily has got me cornered, Sam."Samantha took another sip of coffee, her expression contemplative. "We knew she might fight back, but we didn't expect her to go this far this quickly."Claire leaned forwards, her eyes begging. "What do we do?" If this gets to court, I risk losing everything. "My job, my reputation, everything is on the line."Samantha drummed her fingers on the table, contemplating their choices. "We need to undermine her and make her appear like the one who is lying. However, we'll need more than just words thi

Emily arrived at Madison Middle School the following morning, engrossed with the day ahead. Despite the continued difficulties with Claire and the legal processes, she was determined to prove herself and ensure that the children had a good day. As she proceeded towards her classroom, she observed Claire waiting beside the teachers' lounge with an angry expression. Claire's gaze fixed on Emily, and she marched over with deliberate steps."Emily," Claire said loudly, her voice booming along the silent hallway.Emily paused and turned to face Claire, ready herself for the confrontation she knew was coming. "Yes, Claire?"Claire's eyes blazed with rage. She held up the legal suit and shook it for emphasis. "What the hell is this?" she insisted."It's exactly what it says," Emily said, her voice calm and steady. "A defamation claim. You've been spreading falsehoods about me, and I'm not about to let you damage my career."Claire's face was distorted with wrath. "Lies? Everything I mention

Claire was sitting in her tiny office, scrolling through the day's lesson plans, when a tap on the door broke her concentration. She glanced up and saw Mrs. Thompson, the school secretary, waiting in the doorway with a huge package."Ms. Montgomery, this just came for you," Mrs. Thompson replied, giving her the letter.Claire scowled as she took the envelope and instantly recognized a legal firm's emblem in the corner. "Thank you, Mrs. Thompson," she said, her voice strained.Mrs. Thompson nodded and exited the room, shutting the door behind her. Claire's hands shook slightly as she opened the package, and her pulse raced. Inside, she discovered Emily Carter's court complaint outlining the defamation action against her. Her eyes scanned the pages, her rage building with each line she read."She can't be serious," Claire told herself, her cheeks flaming with wrath. "This is absurd."Just as she finished reading the complaint, her phone rang. This was the principal's office. "Ms. Montgo

"I don't know," Samantha said. "However, we need to decide on our next move. If she reveals us, we are both done."Claire's rage mirrored Samantha's. "I've worked too hard to let this happen. We need to discredit her before she can do any significant harm.""Exactly," Samantha confirmed. "We need to find a way to turn this around on her, make it look like she's the one causing problems."Claire considered for a minute. "What if we spread rumours that she is unstable? We may suggest that she's making it up because she's under too much pressure."Samantha's eyes shone with a wicked glitter. "It's a solid start. We may also exploit her previous connection with Jason against her. Make it seem as if she is still obsessed with him, which is impairing her judgement."Claire's voice was full with resentment. "And if we can get a few more complaints from parents and teachers, it'll look like a pattern of behaviour.""Perfect," Samantha replied with a flash of vengeful delight. "We need to act

The second board meeting had been arduous, and although she had managed to present some of the evidence against Claire, it was evident that the struggle had not ended.Will approached the room with a determined air. He put a soothing hand on Emily's shoulder. "Emily, we need to talk."She glanced up at him, her eyes full of concern. "What is it, Will?" "Did you find anything new?"Will took out a chair and sat across from her. "I have been thinking. Claire's position is escalating, and it is evident that she is not working alone. We need to push things to the next level if we want to put an end to this."Emily nodded with a spark of optimism. "What do you have in mind?"Will leaned forwards, his voice low and serious.

"Looks like you're not out of the woods yet, Ms. Carter."Emily's expression hardened at the sight of Claire. "What are you doing here, Claire?" "Haven't you made enough trouble?"Claire smiled wider. "Oh, I just wanted to check how things were progressing. I hear you put on quite a show in there. But, honestly, I'm more interested in what happens next."Emily narrowed her gaze. "What do you mean?""You really think you've won, don't you?" Claire stepped closer. "The board may be investigating, but don't get too comfortable. I've seen your weak efforts to hide your ineptitude. The fissures are beginning to appear.Will shifted slightly in front of Emily, his look protective. "That is eno

As she stepped into the boardroom with Will at her side, she took a deep breath and straightened her shoulders, ready to face whatever awaited her.Board members sat in a semicircle, their expressions a combination of cynicism and interest. Mr. Richards, the chairman, looked up from his notes as Emily and Will arrived. "Ms. Carter, Mr. Davis, please take your seats."Emily and Will sank onto the seats in the middle of the room. Principal Andrews was already there, his countenance inscrutable. The atmosphere was dense with anxiety, and the stakes were greater than ever.Mr. Richards cleared his throat, signifying the beginning of the meeting. "Ms. Carter, thank you for joining us again.
