Chapter 25 “What was that, Trevor?” Kaleb glanced at the 100-dollar bill in Trevor’s shirt pocket. He hadthe strong urge to laugh but held back due to the gloomy expression on Trevor’s face. Trevor gritted his teeth and took out the 100-dollar bill. After that, he pursed his lips and left Kaleb’s office without a word. Kaleb immediately called Zachary to gossip. “Guess who Trevor brought to my place for a medical examination just now?” Zachary confidently responded with a name. “Emma.” “How did you know?” Kaleb was astonished. “Did you know that Emma is back?” Zachary lazily replied, “Yeah, I knew about it. I also saw her ripping into Trevor so hard that he was speechless.” Kaleb immediately burst out laughingwithout reservation. Then, he told Zachary about the scene where Emma had forcefully given money to Trevor earlier. After listening to the story, Zachary gloatingly said, “I’m afraid that’s probably Emma’s general reaction to him in the future.” Kalebwas very puzzled. “Trevor is being disliked so strongly. Why is he still in contact with Emma?” Zachary replied, “Trevor believes that Emma is playing hard to get.” Kaleb was silent. A long while passed before he slowly said, “Why do I get the feeling that Emma seemingly does not want anything to do with him?” Zachary laughed. “Be more confident and leave out the word ‘seemingly.” Kaleb asked, “Do you think so too? Then,why didn’t you inform Trevor?” Zachary lightly replied, “Do you think he will believe me if I told him? Emma clung to him for so long. He would never believe that she no longer has any feelings for him.
If I were in his shoes, I wouldn’t believe it either.” IL 1 During the three years that Emmaand Trevor were married, everybody knew how hard Emma had worked to facilitate her marriage with Trevor. Kaleb asked puzzledly, “Why is he doing this? Isn’t he about to marry Crystal?” Rumors of Crystal marrying into the Bateson Family had been circulating around recently. All that was missing was the marriage certificate between Trevor and Crystal. Zachary lazily quipped, “Who knows what he is thinking?” When it came to emotions, it was like drinkingwater. Only the parties involved knew best about how they felt. Kaleb added, “Why do I feel as though he doesn’t really care about Crystal? Otherwise, whydid he turn around and marry Emma after breaking up with Crystal back then? Even if he had a physically intimate relationship with Emma, even if Old Mr. Christopher forced the marriage, based on his character, he is not the kind of person who would let himself be placed at the mercy of others.” Zachary raised his eyebrowsand asked, “Are you saying that he was actually quite satisfied with Emma from the beginning?” Then, he followed up with another comment. “If it is as you’ve said, then he is going to be miserable in the future.” Outside the film sct, Arianna got into her carand proceeded to spend a long time crying and throwing a tantrum. The driver was so troubled by her temper that he could only get out of thecar for a smoke to escape her antics. Acting as the driver for such an arrogant and high-handed lady was his greatest misfortune. If not for the lucrative salary offered by the Bateson Family, he would have quit this joba long time ago. The first thing Arianna did when she calmed down was to call Crystal. She wanted to complain about Trevor to Crystal.
Her brother had reprimanded and punished her in public for Emma’s sake. Where would that leave her future sister-in-law, Crystal? As soon as the call connected, she burst into tears. “Crystal, Emma is back! Moreover, Trevor helped her bully me today!” Crystal was making soup in the bright and cleankitchen of her home. When she saw the phone call from Arianna, a look of deep hatred flashed across her eyes. God only knew how much she hated Arianna. Unfortunately, she had no choice but to answer the call and pretend to be a good friend and sister-in- law to Arianna. At this moment, Arianna’s words made her expression change drastically. The spoon in her hand slipped out of her grasp and clattered to the ground noisily.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
