Chapter 1739
Emily woke up early and steamed some muffins and made some oatmeal. She then sent a message to Estelle
asking if she wanted to come down for breakfast.
With the food was nearly ready, Kya woke up. Emily washed Kya’s face, changed her clothes, and sat her on the
couch to braid her hair.
“Mommy, are you taking the day off today?” Kya asked with her large, innocent eyes.
Ms. Simmon hadn’t come, which meant her mom was taking the day off.
“Yes, would you like to go out and have some fun?” Emily said with a smile.
Kya immediately nodded, “Yes!”
“Well, be a good girl and finish your breakfast. Then I will take you to the amusement park!”
Kya grinned brightly, and her eyes curled into crescent moons. “Can I invite Estelle and Magdalen to join us?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Estelle has classes today and she won’t have the time,” Emily explained. “Magdalen has her own plans. So it’s just
Mommy who can accompany you. Is that okay?”
“Okay!” Kya nodded obediently.
Emily finished braiding her hair. When they went to have their breakfast, her phone rang..
She picked it up and answered, “Mom!”
Gina chuckled on the other end. “Emily, you’re taking the day off today, aren’t you? You haven’t been back home
for a while. Why don’t you come over today? I can make some homemade pasta.”
Emily replied calmly, “No, thanks, I promised to take Kya to the amusement park today.”
“Oh, I see” Gina laughed awkwardly. “Actually, there’s something I wanted to talk to you about. Your cousin wanted
to work at the James Corporation, but he didn’t pass the interview. I was hoping you could put ina good word for
him since you and Mr. James have a good relationship. It’s really just a matter of Mr. James saying a word.”
Emily cut her off, “I can’t help. I’ve already resigned from the James Corporation.”
“You resigned?” Gina sounded surprised. “When did this happen?”
“Over half a month ago. I’ve found a new job,’ Emily replied.
Gina sounded anxious. “The James Corporation is such a prestigious company, why did you resign just like that? You
should have discussed it with me at least. You’re being too impulsive! I’ve already promised your aunt to help them.
How do you expect me to respond now?”
Emily’s tone was cold, “I didn’t agree to anything, so why did you make commitments on my behalf? Even if I hadn’t
resigned, what if I couldn’t help him get the job? Have you thought about that?”
Gina was taken aback by Emily’s words. She sighed, “Emily, I’ve noticed you’ve been becoming more and more
temperamental. You’re not as warm as before when you talk to me. I understand that there are many thing you
don’t agree with when it comes to me, and I don’t blame you for it. But we are still farnily. You can’t just consider
yourself in everything; you should think about your brother and sister-in-law too.”
Emily frowned, “How is my resignation related to my brother?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Of course, it related. Your brother is about to be promoted; this is a crucial time for him. If people in the subsidiary
find out about your resignation, will they still support your brother?” Gina scolded her. “You should have at least
informed us about your resignation and gave your brother some warning.”
Emily felt a chill in her heart, “I’ve looked out for you all, but have any one of you ever looked out for me?”
Gina was taken aback, “How can you say that? Your brother has always cared for you since you were a child, don’t
you know that? Emily, ever since you came back from abroad, you’ve become as cold and selfish as those
foreigners. Just think about it. How long has it been since you visited me. If I didn’t have something to discuss with
you, would you have ever called to check on me?”
Emily scoffed, “So you know that you only call when you need something. If you didn’t have an issue, would you
made this call?”
Gina retorted coldly, “I don’t want to argue about this. If you keep acting like this, don’t blame me and your brother
for not caring about you in the future!”
Emily was disappointed, “I never expected anything from you.”
“Your father ruined my life, and I worked tirelessly to raise and educate you and your brother. Is this how you treat
me? Fine, you’re grown up now, and you don’t need me anymore. I don’t need to rely on you. I’ll consider I taised a
thankless daughter!” Gina hung up the phone, visibly upset.
