Chapter 1604
That evening, Emily received the three hundred thousand dollars from Wilson, and then she called Betty, asking her
if she needed money lately.
Betty chuckled, “How did you know? I’ve been job hunting since I got back, but it’s been a fruitless endeavor. I plan
to open a coffee shop with some friends and I want to decorate it according to my preferred style. However, the
initial investment is quite hefty.”
Emily laughed, “Wilson told me about it. He really wants to help you, but you turned him down.”
Betty paused for a moment before she said softly, “I don’t want to owe him money.”
“He really wants to help you. He’s already transferred the money to me, and he asked me to give it to you under
my name,” Emily laughed, “Wilson has your best. interests at heart.”
Betty’s laughter was gentle, mixed with a touch of shyness. “No need. I can figure it out on my own.”
Tve already agreed!” Emily replied cheerily, “Just pretend that you don’t know about it and consider it a loan from

After some thought, Betty agreed, “As soon as I get my money, I’ll repay him right away”
“Great, I’ll transfer the three hundred thousand dollars to you now,” Emily said.
“Thank you, Emily.”
“We’re friends, no need for politeness!”
After a bit more small talk, Emily hung up and quickly transferred the three hundred thousand dollars to Betty
Once the money was sent, Emily let out a sigh of relief.
The matter was settled smoothly and Emily didn’t dwell on it any further
The next morning, she went to work as usual.
Not long after she left, Ms. Simmons took Kya to the supermarket for groceries. When they return, they were
stopped by a young woman in front of their apartment building.
The woman was wearing a hat and sunglasses. She smiled and asked, “Is this Ms. Sullivan’s child?*
Ms Simmons held Kya closer and asked cautiously, “Who are you?”
The woman was carrying a bundle of items, all from high-end brands, and warmly remarked, “I was sent by Mr.
James.”
Upon hearing Mr. James’ name, Ms. Simmons immediately eased her demeanor, asking, “Why hasn’t Mr. James
been visiting lately?”
The woman took Ms. Simmons aside and whispered. “Ms. Sullivan and Mr. James had a disagreement. Mr. James
wants to make amends, so he sent me to bring gifts for Ms. Sullivan.”
She handed the dems to Ms. Simmons.
Ms. Simmons was somewhat hesitant, “I can’t make this decision, I need to ask Emily.”
“You’re the nanny who looks after Ms. Sullivan’s child, right? Mr. James doesn’t want Ms. Sullivan to know about this.
She’s still mad at him and if she finds out,
she won’t accept it.”
The woman winked at Ms. Simmons, “This is Mr. James’ heartfelt gesture. It would be better for both of them if you
accepted the gifts discreetly.”.

“Why wouldn’t it be? Mr. James is doing this entirely for Ms. Sullivan. If you accept the gifts on her behalf, it would
give them a chance to reconciless a couple in the future” the woman glanced at Kya, “It’s tough for Ms. Sullivan to
raise a child on her own. I believe you’d want her to find some support, wouldn’t you?”
Ms Simmons knew that Emily and Charlie had recently broken up after a major argument, and Charlie hadn’t been
around for quite some time
Emily hadn’t shown much on the surface, but Ms. Simmons could tell she was hurting
Now it seemed that Charlie still had feelings for Emily, but Emily was too stubborn to reconcile.
Ms Simmons considered for a moment and agreed, “Alright, I’ll accept the gifts on Emily’s behalf. Thanks for Mr.
James kindness.”
ti should be thanking you if i didn’t complete this task, Mr. James would have my head?” The woman adjusted her
sunglasses and handed all the items to Ms. Simmons instructing “Please keep these well hidden, and don’t let Ms
Sullivan know for now”
1. Simmons nodded and replied. “Tunderstand””
