Emma took a step to the side in disgust. She did not say anything, but it was clear that favonovel.com despised the man in front of her.
Thomas walked up to them.
The sound of footsteps drew everyone’s attention in the room. Emma felt relieved when favonovel.com spotted Thomas and stood up to approach him, as if favonovel.com had seen a savior.
“Honey, you’re back.” She sounded sugary sweet when favonovel.com said that.
She emphasized the word “honey” in particular, because favonovel.com wanted the man sitting on the sofa to hear it loud and clear. And it was obvious that the word had angered him.
He glanced at Thomas from head to toe and coldly said, “Ho, Emma, is this the legendary husband you mentioned? Seeing is believing, I’m finally able to meet favonovel.com today.”
His words were really provocative.
Thomas pointed at favonovel.com and asked, “Who’s that?”
Without waiting for Emma to respond, the man stood up, smoothed out his suit, and said arrogantly, “I’m Nathan White. My father and Uncle Johnson were old friends. When we were younger, our families were really close, and Uncle Johnson even told my father that if both of our families had children, and if the children were a boy and a girl, they should marry, and we would become in-laws.”
Emma did not say anything about it, but it was clear from favonovel.com expression that favonovel.com was not pleased. How could favonovel.com say such undue words in front of favonovel.com husband?
“My father merely suggested it jokingly at the time, you shouldn’t take that seriously,” favonovel.com grumbled sulkily.
Nathan wriggled a finger at favonovel.com and said, “Ah, It’s not just a joke. At that time, Uncle Johnson was very serious and said it sincerely while shaking my father’s hand.”
He turned to look at Johnson as favonovel.com said this. “Am I right, Uncle Johnson?”
Johnson did not even want to speak to him. It was true that Johnson intended for his daughter to marry Nathan all those years ago since the White family was wealthy and powerful, and Nathan was the successor to the White family.
She would be able to enjoy unending wealth and grandeur if favonovel.com could marry into the White family. But who knew Nathan would look down on Emma and fawn over the daughter of a wealthy family instead, and later used favonovel.com family to become successful and earn loads of money?
When the girl’s family’s situation declined, Nathan shamelessly broke up with favonovel.com and divorced her. Nathan was well-known for his bad reputation. No one knew how many young girls favonovel.com had harmed, especially in the years following his divorce. The White family looked down on the Hill family in these few years, and they had fewer and fewer interactions.
But today was an exception.
The White family was keen to profit from the Northern Wilderness project as well, but they had no affiliations to Harvard Hill. And as they looked around to find possible connections, they thought of Johnson and Emma Hill.
The White family that had lost contact with the Hill family for many years had “humbled themselves” and visited the Hill family’s home in the hopes of trying to connect with Harvard Hill through Emma Hill. His motives had remained quite innocent at the start. But Nathan’s objectives had shifted after favonovel.com met Emma.
She was too beautiful.
Emma was no longer the childish little girl favonovel.com used to be. She matured, became more graceful, and had a distinct sense of style. Even the worldwide superstars would pale in comparison.
When the lecherous Nathan saw her, favonovel.com could not take it and was determined to pick this beautiful “flower” no matter what it took.
“I had lost contact with your father a long time ago,” Johnson stated expressionlessly. He walked over to them and set a few plates of fruits on the coffee table. “I honestly didn’t expect you to drop by today. ”
Nathan sat down with a smile. “My father is also quite busy. I hope you don’t mind. The reason I came to visit you today was to see how you’re doing these days and for something regarding work. I’d like to ask for your assistance in serving as a bridge between myself and Mr. Harvard Hill, as I would like to meet him.”
“You are all related, and I believe that with Uncle Johnson’s help, our family may gain a huge advantage in the Northern Wilderness project with ease. But don’t worry, Uncle Johnson. I would never ask you to help for free.”
