Noticing the car suddenly slowing down, the man in the back seat of a black Bentley slightly raised his head, his brows slightly furrowed, seemingly displeased, “What’s the matter?”
The driver glanced at his master in the back seat, and then at the helpless man and woman outside the car window, feeling somewhat sympathetic, “Young Lord, up ahead…”
The man faintly shifted his gaze, his indifferent eyes briefly scanning Emily Walker outside the window, then lowering them again, continuing to look at the document he was about to sign. Apparently, everything outside the car window had nothing to do with him.
In the pouring rain, Emily sat on the ground, looking down at her little brother in her arms, her heart filled with helplessness and fear at this moment!
She raised her head, holding Wallace in the merciless rain, and screamed up at the sky as if to vent all the pain and hatred in her heart, letting the cold raindrops ruthlessly hit her cheeks!
One month later.
“Husband, have you come up with a solution yet?!” Inside the living room, Emma Hudson looked at Henry Adams on the sofa with a face full of disappointment and anxiety.
Henry took a puff of his cigarette, exhaling a long cloud of smoke, his face full of worry as well.
“What can I do? I heard that the CEO of Futuren Group doesn’t drink and isn’t lustful. What can I do about that?”
Upon hearing this, Emma gave a sneer and said, “Not lustful? You think that there’s a man in this world who isn’t lustful?”
In her eyes, all crows under the sun are black and no one is an exception. Even Henry himself, if not for her management, would have long been indulging himself in wine and pleasure!
Henry looked at his wife, feeling that she didn’t understand anything about men’s affairs!
“Then you tell me, have you heard of any scandals between the Young Lord and any woman? People say that even when he goes to various entertainment venues, he never calls for women, understand?”
“How could he possibly be satisfied with the women from those places? You don’t even look at the Young Lord’s status. If you send Emily there, I guarantee he won’t refuse!” Emma blurted out without thinking, as if she had already planned it.
Having said that, Emma rolled her eyes confidently.
But Henry turned his head in astonishment, looking at her and saying, “What did you say? Send Emily?”
Hearing his surprised tone, Emma immediately felt unpleased and said bitterly, “What, you can’t bear to part with her? She’s living in our house for free, can’t she help with this?”
One month ago, Emily, who had nowhere to go and no home to return to, had to temporarily move in with her uncle’s family. She knew her aunt didn’t like her, and after her mother passed away, if it wasn’t for the business dealings between them, her father might not even have any contact with her uncle.
Because of their business connection and because her family was much wealthier than her uncle’s, Henry was naturally very close to his niece. However, his wife was another story. She liked Emily’s family’s previous condition, not her niece.
Henry sighed, “It’s not a matter of helping or not helping, Emily is only 20 years old, she’s still a college student.”
If Emily were really sent to the CEO of Futuren Group, wouldn’t that be harming her?
“What college student? She’s already dropped out of school, now she’s just a working girl, do you still think she’s Miss Rich from the Carter Family?” Emma said unhappily!
Initially, she didn’t agree to let Emily live with them. If it wasn’t for Henry, she would have kicked Emily out long ago!
