Chapter 397 For You

Enelie pursed her lips. “Did the Allens make a deal with you?”
Bryan’s silence spoke louder than words.
That was how business worked. It was all an exchange of benefits. The Allens offered enough to pique Bryan’s interest. That was why he joined the troupe to persuade her.
Bryan was quite magnanimous too. He didn’t use his authority as her boss to order her to accept the settlement, and he also offered her some benefits in return.
Even if the benefit was simply a 5% increase to her salary and a promise that he wouldn’t fire her for her poor work performance during this time.
Emelie let out a sigh. She was touched. Elena’s parents used everything they could to get to her so they could protect Elena. Nothing could be compared to parental love.
“Let me think about it.”
Emelie hung up and finished her pasta.
As she was going back to her room and passed by the reception, she asked them to prepare something to eat that was suitable for someone who was sick and to send it to her
room.
Once she was inside the elevator, she picked up another incoming call. This time, it was Samuel.
Half a month ago, Samuel told her he needed to attend a secret experiment for a month. When she sent him texts, he could receive the messages, but he wouldn’t be able to respond in a timely manner. If she was in a hurry, there was no need to hesitate and she should ask Bryan for help.
That was why he didn’t know what happened to Emelie during this time. However, he probably found out about it. That was why he was calling her.
Emelie walked out of the elevator and picked up the call in the corridor. “Mr. Swanson.”
It was just as she had guessed. Samuel had just found out what happened in Weston in the past month, and so the first thing he said after the call was connected was, “I’m sorry, Emelie.”
Emelie chuckled. “You don’t have to apologize.”
Samuel then said, “I’m heading back to Weston right now.”
“You’re not done with your experiments, right? You don’t have to rush back. I’m doing fine here right now. The Allen family is looking for everyone they can to speak to me and they have already offered me ten million dollars.
“I’ll be a rich woman the moment I agree to it,” Emelie said as she feigned a relaxed tone and took out her key card to open the door.
Samuel was a very smart man. She knew that he could see the costs and benefits of her choices. Emelie could even guess what his next sentence would be. He would probably ask her to accept it.
There were so many people persuading her to settle that she was getting numb from it.
She walked in and closed the door.
She put the phone between her ear and her shoulder as she removed her shoes with one hand on the wall.
Samuel suddenly said, “If you want to sue them, I’ll be there with you until the end.”
Emelie was shocked as she raised her head, and her mobile slipped from her shoulders. She managed to save it and then leaned her body against the wall.
Only after a moment did she ask, “Don’t you think that taking the settlement is the best choice?”
“Is it really the best choice? I can’t tell,” Samuel said gently. “All I know is that you’re unhappy. If accepting it will make you feel upset, then you don’t have to accept the settlement.
“How does the saying go? It’s not about the money, it’s about the message.”
Emelie blurted out a laugh.
She could already imagine how Samuel would look when he said that. He would push his glasses and gently smile as the chain on his glasses swayed in the wind. Samuel repeated, “It’s all about the message, right?”
Emelie sighed. “Speaking of your experiment, is it something officially sanctioned? Just what are they teaching you there? You’re speaking like some kind of rebel already.” Samuel laughed as well.
Emelie suddenly realized she wasn’t that upset anymore. The Allens, Charles, Ashley, Mona, and Bryan… But now, there was finally someone who supported her decision. Samuel then said, “Do whatever you want to Elena. I’ll stand by you. So will Wesley.”
Emelie immediately stood up straight. “What did you say?”
“I’m so sorry I didn’t tell you about this. Wesley and I are acquainted, and it’s almost time for him to come back. He’s also coming back for you this time.” Emmelie stood there in silence.
