Chapter 296: Not Knowing the Answer
After leaving the Leer family, the bitterness and sorrow on Emma’s face completely faded, replaced by a cold and stern expression.
Joshua was waiting for her in the car. Seeing her unpleasant expression as she got in, he spoke cautiously, “Miss Thornton, where are we going?”
Emma glanced coldly at his face in the rearview mirror, “To the company.”
Joshua agreed and was about to start the car and head to the company when Emma’s irritated voice came from the back, “Forget it, just go home!”
She really didn’t have the mood to go to the company and deal with those messy people!
This morning, she had taken the initiative to find Lily, thinking that Lily would, as usual, help her speak to Victor after seeing her cry.
But unexpectedly, today’s visit was in vain.
Lily’s words were as good as not spoken.
By the time Victor calms down, the news of their broken engagement would probably be known to everyone!
How could she wait for that!
Thinking of this, Emma’s heart was filled with coldness.
It was all because of that Olivia!
Since she came back, Victor and Sophia’s attention had been on her!
It was one thing for Sophia to rely on her, but Victor’s heart was clearly leaning towards her too!
It wasn’t like this six years ago!
Emma thought of six years ago when Victor neglected that woman in every possible way because of her. Now, thinking about her and Olivia’s reversed situations made her even angrier!
She really didn’t know what had happened in these six years!
Just as she was fuming, her mother’s call came through.
Emma answered with a cold face.
“How did it go? Did you talk to Mrs. Leer?” As soon as the call connected, Beatrice’s voice came through.
Emma’s face darkened, “I talked to her, but it was as good as not talking. I might as well figure it out myself!”
Hearing this, Beatrice was a bit surprised, “What can you do? If Victor is determined to marry Olivia, there’s nothing we can do.”
Emma gritted her teeth, knowing her mother was right.
If Victor was determined to marry Olivia, what could she do?
Compared to the Leer Group, the Thornton Group was just a small plant next to a big tree. What power did she have to sway Victor’s decision?
“Since Victor is rejecting you because of Sophia, why not start with Sophia?” Beatrice suggested.
Hearing this, a thought flashed through Emma’s mind.
Beatrice waited for a response but didn’t get one. She urged twice in confusion, “Emma?”
Emma snapped back to reality and coldly said, “I’ll talk to you when I get back. I’m hanging up now.”
With that, she hung up the phone and instructed Joshua who was driving in front, “Go back to the company later and find someone to investigate Olivia’s activities over the past few years. Especially find out how she had those two children and who their father is!”
Her mother’s words had reminded her.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
All along, she only knew Olivia had two children but didn’t know who their father was.
Surely, Victor didn’t know either.
If she could find those children’s father from abroad, Olivia wouldn’t have time to focus on Victor.
Likewise, seeing another man around Olivia, she didn’t believe that Victor would still cling to her!
If she couldn’t have him, neither could that woman Olivia!
Joshua glanced at her face through the rearview mirror, feeling tense inside. He quickly agreed.
