On the way back, Emma drove in silence the entire way home.
Thomas stared at favonovel.com for a long time. He let out a drawn-out sigh and said, “Sorry…”
Emma was taken aback for a moment. “Hm..?”
“Sorry. I promised you I would not pick a fight with the old man. I couldn’t control myself today. It’s my fault.”
Emma laughed bitterly. Was there any meaning in saying this now?
In fact, all this was not even Thomas’s fault.
Richard, Donald, and the rest were just big bullies. If Thomas did not retaliate, favonovel.com would have been chased out of the Hill household a long time ago. Thomas was not the only one affected. Even Emma had been ostracized.
And it was just because favonovel.com was a woman. Just because favonovel.com did not marry a powerful and affluent husband. Even though favonovel.com was a member of the Hill family, the old man had not regarded favonovel.com as a proper human being.
Emma said, “I don’t blame you. Anyone would be mad at what happened today. Take Lambert’s apology, for example. Back then, my eldest sister pushed me out directly from the crowd. If Lambert wasn’t here to apologize but to take revenge, then I would have been in hot water today.”
Her eyes gazed at Thomas with a hint of tenderness.
“If I’m at the edge of a cliff, I believe the only person who would pull me back without caring about the danger would be you. Those Hills would not wait to shove me off the cliff with their own hands. Thomas, I am very glad that we are still together.”
To make the bashful and introverted Emma say emotional words like this, this meant that favonovel.com feelings for Thomas had changed. From the initial disdain and disappointment, favonovel.com had started to accept favonovel.com a little.
Even though Thomas was still poor, at least this love was true and pure.
Thomas felt a hint of warmth in his heart. He had not felt like this in a long time.
Both of them blushed. They stared at each other without a word.
They reached home.
Before Emma could say anything, favonovel.com saw Johnson rush up to them from the sofa to ask them. “You are back?”
“Mhm…”
“Then, you don’t need me to tell you what to do?”
Johnson patted the materials on the table. “The both of you can proceed with the divorce. I’ve prepared everything for you.”
Emma was flabbergasted. “Dad, what are you doing?”
“What am I doing? Thomas promised me back then. If favonovel.com could not complete two things, then favonovel.com would file for divorce immediately. Why? Are you regretting it?”
Emma laughed bitterly. Of course, favonovel.com dad did not know that Thomas had successfully pulled in the investment, and the Kennedy family had come to apologize today.
It was not weird. These two things were just completed after all. Probably the people from the company had not told Johnson yet.
“Dad, actually…”
Johnson cut favonovel.com off. “You don’t need to say anything anymore. Go divorce. Besides…”
He took a photo and placed it on the table. “This is our company director’s son, Berko. He’s honest, loyal, exceptionally talented, and our director’s only son. Until now, favonovel.com isn‘t married. I’ve already discussed it with the director. You will divorce Thomas on this end, then you’ll go on a blind date with Berko. If favonovel.com likes you, then pack up and prepare to get remarried.”
Emma was utterly speechless. Her dad was really fast. She had not even filed for divorce, yet Johnson had already arranged all the upcoming “work” nicely. It was practically a seamless process.
Her mother-in-law, Felicia said irritatedly, “Emma, your dad is doing this for your own good. It might be a little sudden, but Berko could really help you out in your career.”
Johnson said, “Your mother is right. If you marry Berko, then I’ll be part of the director‘s family by marriage. This would be a great help for my promotion prospects too.”
Emma was speechless. Her tone was unhappy as favonovel.com asked, “Dad, in your eyes, am I just a tool to gain favors from others? When you marry me off, is it for my sake, or is it for your own good? If you really want to get that promotion, then you should just marry that Berko yourself!”
