Chapter 293 Boundary Defined
Emelle suddenly turned and looked
William coldly said, “I’m not here with Emelle, and my relationship with her is quite normal. You won’t think that I’m speaking for her, will you?”
“1..” Camila wanted to say that there was nothing normal about their relationship. She had become his woman not that long ago!
While she was bold enough to talk back to Charles, she didn’t dare to do it to William.
It was not because William was much more influential than Charles, it was because Charles was much more
re easygoing. She also knew that he wouldn’t get angry easily.
But William was different.
His presence… Just him standing there was enough to scare her.
“You. All of you are bullying me!” Camila started to cry instead.
Emelie sneered “Stop playing the victim. You’re the one harassing Mrs. Matilda!”
Camila looked at her with wide eyes. “What are you saying?1 did not!”
Emelie walked over to her and said, “We’re here today to celebrate her grandchildren. She invited you to come here for a feast and to share her joy with you just how much do you hate her for doing this on such a happy day? If this isn’t harassment, what is?”
Charles looked at them with mixed emotions. Emelie was much better at arguing than he was. In just a few sentences, she had managed to gain the upper hand.
Camilla had only wanted to embarrass Emelie against her, “You. ”
I didn’t think too much about what she was doing or where she was. But her face became pale after such an accusation was made
“I’m sure Ms. Jackson didn’t do it intentionally,” Matilda’s voice cut through the air and all the guests made way for her.
She was older than sixty, but the spirited old woman walked to the center and said plainly, “She’s simply had too much to drink. Someone, come over here and send the girl home.
She wasn’t just sending her home. She was getting rid of her!
Camila wasn’t the only one being disgraced. Her own reputation, her parents‘ reputation, and the Jackson family’s reputation had been ruined.
Camila’s face quickly lost color. She had finally found out how it felt to have her own scheme backfireon her. Why did she even decide to intimidate Emelie?
A servant came up to her and said, “Ms. Jackson, this way.”
Emelle walked over to Matilda and sincerely said, “I’m so sorry, Mrs. Matilda We almost ruined such a joyous occasion. I’m Bryan’s secretary and am here to represent the Swanson Corporation. Something urgent came up and Bryan couldn’t make it today. Allow me to offer you our most sincere apologies on his behalf.”
“Someone else wanted to do you harm. You’re the victim What’s there to apologize for?” Matilda was a very observant woman and understood everything with a look. “I should be the one thanking you for providing us all with such a good show. Get me some wine.”
The waiter immediately walked over with a tray and Matilda picked up two glasses of wine. She gave Emelie one and they clinked their glasses.
Emelie couldn’t help but smile. It was all thanks to how decisive and magnanimous Matilda was that she was able to stop the Navarro family from falling and build it up to what it
Matilda turned around and looked at William “Didn’t you say you were joining me upstairs to see the twins?
Emelie and William’s eyes met and they both locked away. It was as if they had really draen a clear boundary between them, that they wouldn’t interfere in each other’s lives
anymore.
William nodded and followed Matilda upstairs without so much as a wandering glance.
Emelie couldn’t tell what she was feeling and simply said to Samuel, “Thank you, Mr. SwansoIL”
Charles refused to remain forgotten and said, “Didn’t I help you too? Why didn’t you thank me? Don’t make your blases so obvious, Ms. Hoven.”
on the rais.
but it was all take.
The moment she saw him, tree could feel the tension rising again. She was right, it seemed like he was ready to draw the boundary between them tonight, but it was Now, he was onto her again.
And the moment he was on to her, she suspected that he
“You’re representing the Swanson Corporation, I’m representing the Swanson family.” Samuel also noticed that a lot of the guests‘ eyes were still laid on Emelie and it was making her uncomfortable. He then said, “Let’s chat outside”
Emelle nodded and they left the banquet hall
Charles was left alone.
He stared at Samuel and narrowed his eyes.
He got it now. Ils rived wasn’t William. It was him!
