Jake followed them with a dark face and grabbed Emily's arm."Emily, did I tell you to leave?"Emily furrowed her brows in displeasure and shook his hand off. "Let go."Jake sneered. "What? Are you afraid your new boyfriend will see? Emily, do you know who that is before you throw yourself at him? Do you think Mr. Smith is as foolish as me and be fooled by you?"Emily glanced at him, her face showing no extra emotion as she said indifferently, "What does it have to do with you?""How does it not? I am your ex-boyfriend after all."Emily didn't expect Jake to have such thick skin, to still say something like "ex-boyfriend."She couldn't help but laugh."Ex-boyfriend? When were you ever my ex?"Jake froze for a moment, recalling the things he had said to Emily earlier in the private room.He felt a little guilty, but it was only for a moment."Emily, Mr. Smith is not someone you can afford to offend, stop making trouble."Emily quietly looked at him.It was strange, she used

The next moment, she heard the excited voice of a young boy."Mom, next time I want a limited edition, it's not expensive, just over 200 thousand dollars."It was her younger brother, Alan Sanders.Mandy responded indulgently, "Okay, if you like it, I'll buy it for you.""Thank you, Mom! I knew you’re the best.""You're my son. Everything I have is yours. If I don't treat you well, who else would I treat well?""Mom, I love you."Alan clung to Mandy's arm, starting to act coquettishly.Emily quietly observed the interaction between the mother and son, feeling no surprise.From childhood to now, Mandy had been very kind to her, so much so that Emily once thought her mother favored her over her brother, and she often stood up for her brother.That was until their father had an accident, and all the family matters, including the company, fell onto Mandy's shoulders.After that, Mandy became distant towards her, and now it seemed that the so-called favoring her over her brother

Emily's body stiffened, she planned to act as if she hadn't heard.The old lady reached out and pushed her playfully, winking at Emily. "You haven't seen Luke for so many years, go talk to him and give him a hand."Emily couldn't possibly not understand what the old lady was doing, and she couldn’t just pretend she didn’t hear what Luke said.She braced herself and walked towards the kitchen."Do, do you need me to do something?" Emily stammered, not daring to look Luke in the eyes as she spoke.Luke chuckled but didn't say anything.Emily raised her eyes and met his gaze. "What are you laughing at?"Luke shook his head, then walked in front of Emily.The next moment, a cool minty scent surrounded her. Emily instinctively took a step back."Are you that afraid of me?" asked Luke.Emily awkwardly shook her head.She wasn't scared, but she hadn't yet figured out how to face Luke.Luke extended his arm. "The sleeves, help me adjust them."Emily nodded awkwardly and slowly rea

"Emily Sanders, don't you have anything you want to ask?"Emily paused for a moment.‘What does he want me to ask about? Ask him why he promised to wait until she grew up but went back on his word? Ask him why he went abroad? Ask him why he got married? Ask him why he lied to her?’But the brave and passionate Emily had long been worn down by the years that had passed.Emily struggled, wanting to pull her hand back. "Let go of me."Luke looked at her with a look of resistance and sighed helplessly.He was too impatient.He released her wrist and his gaze fell on her finger, wrapped with a band-aid."Does your hand still hurt?"Emily lowered her eyes and looked at her finger.The band-aid had a SpongeBob design, clearly made for children.For a moment, Emily felt her heart ached and didn't want to answer Luke’s question."Emily." Luke reached out and rubbed her fluffy hair, his tone carrying a little helplessness. "I’m talking to you. Where are your manners, kid?"Emily was

"If you’re not bothering him, then why hasn't he come to find me? It must be because you spoke ill of me to him."Emily looked at the 19-year-old girl in front of her and suddenly thought she was not only naive but also foolish."Do you know Jake?" asked Emily.Helen froze for a moment, then spoke with a stiff neck. "He's my boyfriend, of course I know him."Emily shook her head and smiled.Helen's expression froze. 'What's so funny?'"Jake hasn't come to find you because he's tired of you. The girls who were around him before never lasted more than a week. But you're not bad, at least it took him two weeks to get annoyed."As Emily spoke, Helen's expression became increasingly unpleasant."You're talking nonsense! When Jake pursued me, he said he would marry me. Don't try to sow discord."Emily smiled and said with certainty, "Jake won't marry you. Don't waste your time on him. He's not worth it."Without waiting for Helen to say anything, she opened the door and entered her

Chapter 16

For the next two days, Emily was out looking at houses, planning to move out of the school once she found a suitable one.Suddenly, her phone rang inside her bag. She gestured to the young agent and walked to the side to answer the call."Hello."As soon as she spoke, a familiar low chuckle came from the other end."Emily, do you remember me?"Emily tightened her grip on the phone.How could she forget?Wendy had mentioned him before."Yes, Zack."Zack chuckled on the other end, his tone casual. "I thought you had forgotten about me, old friend."Emily shook her head. "No, how could I?""Then let's meet tomorrow. It's been two or three years since we last saw each other, right?"Emily declined. "Sorry, I'm quite busy lately."Zack and Jake were childhood friends, and neither of them were good people. The incident from back then had caused a huge stir. After Zack was sent abroad by his parents, his mother even had a private talk with Emily.Zack's mother and Linda were old

"Alright, Mr. Phantom."The assistant walked out of Jake's office and went straight to the front desk.The assistant had been in this line of work for many years, and from Jake's phone call, she naturally knew that Helen had a close relationship with her boss.She walked towards Helen, greeting her with a smile. "Hello, Miss Milton, I am Mr. Phantom's assistant, Tina Wilson."Helen gave Tina a quick once-over. After seeing her knee-length skirt, she asked casually, "Do you always dress like this to work, Miss Wilson?"Tina was stunned for a moment before smiling and nodding.Helen nodded, not probing further. "Where is Jake's office? I'll go find him myself. I want to surprise him."Tina, hearing Helen’s coquettish voice, felt a chill run down her spine from the awkwardness.She hadn't expected her boss to like this type of behavior. It was a far cry from Emily.Out of professional courtesy, Tina continued smiling. "Mr. Phantom's office is at the end of the corridor, on the ri

Helen noticed that Jake's expression wasn't good and carefully asked, "Jake, what's wrong? You don't like it?"Jake placed the lunch box back on the table and replied calmly, "I don't eat spicy food."He had a bad stomach, and for the past few years, Emily had controlled his diet, making him avoid chili peppers. He had gotten used to eating very bland food, but everything Helen made was full of chili.Helen felt a bit disappointed. "I'm sorry, Jake, I didn't know."As she spoke, tears uncontrollably rolled down her cheeks.Jake, seeing this, froze for half a second.It seemed like he hadn't blamed her, so why was she crying?He sighed helplessly and reached out to pull her into his arms. "Alright, baby, don't cry. I wasn't blaming you.""Jake, I just wanted to give you a surprise, I'm sorry." Helen choked with sobs.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.Jake pushed Helen away and sat back in his chair before saying, "Come in."Tina entered with coffee and juice."Mr. Pha

Helen also saw Emily.She didn't want Jake and Emily to meet.Helen reached out and hooked her arm around Jake's, whispering, "Jake, can we go to a different restaurant?"Jake seemed to not hear her, his gaze fixed intently on Emily.Perhaps because Jake's gaze was too intense, Emily, who had been focusing on her meal, instinctively looked up toward the restaurant entrance.When she saw Jake and Helen, she couldn't help but furrow her brows.Emily muttered softly, ‘What are the odds of running into them while having a meal? Maybe I should check my horoscope before going out today.’The young agent, who hadn't heard clearly, asked curiously, "Miss Sanders, what did you say?"Emily gave a slightly awkward smile. "I was just talking to myself."It seemed like Jake had deliberately chosen to sit across from them with Helen.So throughout the meal, Emily couldn't help but notice the two of them feeding each other.Emily sighed.She didn't expect Jake to be so serious this time.

Hearing Emily's distant tone, Jake became enraged.He sneered. "What? Your boyfriend can't even afford a car and is giving you a lift on a small electric scooter?"Emily didn't expect Jake to be so childish. She snapped back, "It's none of your business."Jake didn't care. "Since we've known each other, my girlfriend said she wants me to give you a lift."The real estate agent, sensing the tension between the three, didn't want to get involved in the game of the rich. He quickly distanced himself."Miss Sanders, we can look at the other house another day, or I can arrange for a female colleague from the company to take you."Emily smiled politely. "Sorry, I've taken up a lot of your time today."When Jake heard this, he realized he had misunderstood, and his expression softened. He voluntarily moved the car out of the way.The agent seized the opportunity and quickly left on his scooter.Emily didn't want to bother with Jake. She turned and walked in the opposite direction.N
