Chapter 7: News
Emma enjoyed two hours of refreshing, satisfying, and utterly wonderful sex with her shadow lover. After sending Devlin home, while resting on the sofa, she had a reason in mind to distribute her services today, so that when Alden asked, she had something to say. In the immediate future, you have to bribe the maid and tell her to say exactly what she asks. The reason to do that is that just now when the maid came back, she saw Devlin. This one, she was sure, poor people are easy to buy with money.
“Where’s Mrs. Lan?” Emma was so lazy that she just lied on the sofa and called out for help: “Come over here and ask.”
In a flash, a middle-aged woman trotted over to Emma, respectfully.
“Yes, my lady called me.”
“My husband asked me where to go today, remember to say exactly what I told you to listen to?”
Emma said while glaring menacingly to frighten the opponent. The woman did not dare to raise her head to look up, just kept her head down and whispered.
“Yes, I know.”
“Then get back to work.”
Emma had a masterful tone, treating the worker with no respect, even though she was her mother’s age.
“Yes, ma’am…” Mrs. Lan hesitated to say something: “I… I… Actually…”
“What, begging for money?”
Emma concluded herself. She thinks that what she thinks is right. Mrs. Lan wanted to deny it, but she couldn’t when Emma pulled out a pile of valuable money from her wallet and threw it on the floor for the other woman to pick up.
“Take it and keep your mouth shut, talking nonsense is dead to me.”
Seeing Mrs. Lan working hard to collect money, the look of a poor man, and the characteristic anguish made Emma disgusted. Not wanting to look any further, she rudely pushed her away.
“Once you’ve collected it, go quickly.”
“But madam…”
Lan opened her mouth again, really wanting to tell her one thing. This was a matter of great importance, and she believed Emma would be happy, glad to know.
“What else, isn’t that enough, little criticism? Want to blackmail me?” Emma angrily shouted: “Don’t learn the habit of being asked for fairies by elephants, with the lion’s foot in the front. You don’t know who you’re dealing with. Watch out, I’ll have someone deal with you right away. Guaranteed the end. not a bit nice.”
“No, I’m not asking for anything more.”
Mrs. Lan timidly released the bait:
“Because the lady is very nice and gives me a lot of fun, I just want to repay her and tell her something important.”
“What, is there anything good in your words for me?” Her voice reeked of contempt.
Strangely, despite being scolded by people like Emma and disdainful, the woman was still calm and did not think about narcissism but gave up her intention.
Despite Emma’s unwillingness to listen, Mrs. Lan was still determined to speak for herself.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
“Did Mr. Alden come home just now, did he notice anything out of the ordinary?”
Mrs. Lan slowly let her fishing line grow longer. Emma immediately grabbed the bait, immediately panicking. From a very comfortable sitting position, she stood up straight in a matter of seconds.
“Alden comes home, when is it?”
What is this, Alden coming home? It’s true that the sky is clear and cloudy, without a sudden lightning strike. Emma is really bored, not paying attention to how it is outside, it’s been raining so hard, what’s wrong with her eyes? It is not uncommon for lightning to occur at the same time as it rains.
“I can never remember exactly, but when I came back from the market, I saw Mr. Alden hurrying out of the house. Before I could ask, he got in the car and left.”
“Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
Emma doesn’t believe it, so it must be verified exactly:
“The person you see is none other than Alden?”
Terrified, Emma looked at Mrs. Lan as if her eyes wanted to pop out. The woman was a little scared, but whatever she did, there was nothing to hide.
“Yes! I’m sure it’s Mr. Alden.”
Lan’s firm affirmation made Emma extremely bewildered, her body stiff and helpless to sit on the chair.
Geez! Suddenly something unexpected happened, what to do now? Looking at Emma’s worried expression, Mrs. Lan smirked, satisfied that her mission was successful.
While Emma was immersed in the plans to deal with the consequences, Mrs. Lan quietly left.
Emma was under heavy psychological pressure, if Alden had seen it all, her ambition had only just begun. Now she just hoped there was nothing to worry about. Alden discovered nothing. To confirm the seriousness, she first needed to call Alden.
Taking her phone from her pocket, that’s when she saw some missed calls from her friend. Emma decides to call you back.
“Hi, Lily! What’s with calling so many?”
Her voice was still tired after the game of pleasure, clouds, and rain. Strangely, she was obviously nervous just now, but now she’s back to being calm. Emma is such a brilliant transformation.
“You’re crazy, aren’t you?” The other end of the line scolded angrily: “Why didn’t you answer the call?”
“What’s wrong with not picking up the phone with that attitude?”
Emma retorted angrily. She has something to worry about, not bothered by other unimportant things.
“What were you doing while your husband was in an accident? He is in our hospital now. Hurry up.”
Emma jumped up from her chair, shocked at first at the news, but then a bright thought calmed her troubled spirit. Emma knew what she needed to do, always calling.
“I need to take a shower. Where is Mrs. Lan, prepare warm water.”
She ran to her room, looking for a gym suit because she could lie that she was at the gym when it happened. And I forgot my phone at home, so I didn’t answer it in time.
It can be seen that Emma does not appear to be worried at all when she hears that her husband has had an accident, on the contrary, is happy, she also hopes that Alden will have some terrible complication such as dementia, then the fact that he came home and missed If you come across something that shouldn’t happen, you’ll be temporarily buried. What Emma needs is time to deal with all the troubles and troubles that come to her, and when she is begging, she will be answered immediately. Her number is just too good. She is still rational enough to find a way to cover up and cover up her bad deeds. A wife who truly loves her husband will never be as calm as Emma.
“That’s right, you just need to pamper yourself a lot. Then they will be angry with you.”
Lily scoffed, purposefully reminding her not to worry too much about her appearance, the urgent need to come sooner rather than later:
“Come early. There are policemen and lawyers here. Looks like the accident was very serious.”
“I’m coming, don’t rush.”
Emma turned off her cell phone, getting ready to act like a husband and wife crying. She also deliberately bargained for a little more time to make up her face when she heard the bad news about her husband. Who knows what was going on in her mind, perhaps the amount of property she would inherit if Alden died. I doubt it, Emma didn’t cheat Alden for money? Now is a very good chance to get a great bargain. She just didn’t expect it to come so soon. Oh my god, she’s crazy happy.
