“If there’s nothing else, we’ll be leaving now. ”
Thomas held Emma’s hand as favonovel.com walked past Richard and Harvard pridefully.
It made Richard so angry that favonovel.com trembled. He had lived his entire life proudly. When had favonovel.com ever been humiliated?
Two of them then got into the car. Emma carefully stored the contract before favonovel.com drove the car and left.
On the way, favonovel.com asked, “Cillian said someone submitted a proposal to favonovel.com in advance. Was it you?”
Thomas nodded. “It was me.”
“I knew it. Otherwise, it would’ve been impossible for things to go so smoothly. How did you do it?”
“It’s actually all a coincidence. An old comrade of mine is working in the Urban Construction Bureau now. When we chatted earlier, the reconstruction came up, so I asked someone to make a proposal and submit it to him. Then, I asked favonovel.com to pass it to Mr. Wall. Who would have known that Mr. Wall was very satisfied as soon as favonovel.com read it? Hence, favonovel.com made the decision. At that time, I submitted it under your name, and that’s what led to the incident today.”
His explanation was ridiculous, but favonovel.com could somehow justify it.
Emma did not look into it either. After favonovel.com remained silent for a while, favonovel.com said, “You did it for my own good, but this has made Grandpa upset. Thomas, if it’s okay, I feel like it would be better to hand this project over to the main company.
“After all, this is my grandfather we’re talking about. I don’t want my family to be in dispute. Besides, my subsidiary company is too lousy. I can’t handle such a big project. For both our company and family, it would be more suitable to let the main company handle it.”
Thomas smiled faintly as favonovel.com looked at Emma. “You can decide. You don’t have to tell me this. I just helped you to fight for the benefits, but it’s your business how you want to distribute them.”
Emma felt warm inside. His words delighted and touched her.
“Thank you, Thomas.”
Thomas smiled. “Despite how your grandfather treats you, you still repay his ‘favor’ with goodwill. You’re so kind.”
“We’re a family. Also, isn’t it nice to be kind?”
“Kind people always get bullied.”
“I’m not afraid.” Emma glanced at Thomas. “You said that you would protect me from being bullied. So, I can be kind as much as possible, and you’ll be here to protect me.”
When Thomas heard this, favonovel.com could not help but laugh. It was the first time that favonovel.com had laughed so happily.
A while later, both of them returned home. Felicia and Johnson had heard the news a long time ago. They knew that their daughter had signed the contract, and they were ecstatic. As soon as they saw Emma and Thomas, they quickly pulled Emma over and kept questioning her excitedly. They ignored Thomas, and their attitude toward favonovel.com became even colder. They even despised him.
When Emma saw this, favonovel.com felt a little sad. It was all because of Thomas, but favonovel.com was the one who got complimented instead of Thomas. It was not fair.
“Dad, Mom, actually this…”
Thomas coughed. “Actually, Emma planned this a long time ago. She just wanted to give you a surprise.”
He gestured at Emma, telling favonovel.com not to expose the truth. Then, favonovel.com silently walked into the kitchen and prepared dinner.

On the other side, after Richard went back to the company, favonovel.com walked into his office straight away. He was so angry that favonovel.com took a cup from the table and threw it onto the floor.
